    We have them too in a flat (ish)area. They'e lived in the shed for too long, may get hem out and dust them off 😉. But it would be pointless if we don't go for a ride on them

    I found these days that even the slightest of inclines seems like a mountain.

    Not that I'm aware of. It's irritating as I usually end up nodding off halfway through the News instead.

    Here is something pointless about Pointless! Couple get through to final round and decided on Japan from the list of subjects. I suspect thinking it would be about the country but no. One of the questions was about the names of any Prime Ministers. Racking their brains for Japanese sounding names they gave their answers. Low and behold they managed to guess a correct name and it was pointless and they walked away with £3000!!!!

    I was watching Pointless out of the corner of my eye when I thought up this thread, so the title somehow appeared on here... wink I saw the programme last night, the odds of a win like that must be enormous. laughing

    Just  spent  a  pointless  half  hour  weeding  my  tiniest  of  borders.  I'll  be  away  for  two  (2 )  weeks  and  It'll  be  a  perfect  trial  to  see  which  weeds  outgrow  the  rest.  Might  use  it  as  a  charity  money  raising  idea  for  next  year  innocent

    The only way to get your revenge is to eat them.  I wonder what they taste like, do you fry them, batter and fry them, poach or slip them down whole?

    Not that I really want to try!

    No  ,  rf,  you  get  a  family  of  hedgehogs  in  !!  they'll  eat  all  the  slugs  they  can  get,  then,  after  the  end  of  "Slug  Fest"  you  wrap  the  hogs  in  clay  &  bake  'em  in  a  bonfire.  The  result  would  astound  you  honestly  !!  Just  crack  off  the  baked  earth  and  the  skin  &  prickles  go  with  it  to  leave  you  with  a  small  platefull  of  meat  on  the  bone.

    HONEST  ITS  TRUE  !!

    Hrump hedgehogs and eating of slugs.

    We have our rescued hedgehog, Arbuthnott whether it's the rescued one or not 😉😉. I leave water, kitten food and hedgehog food out for him, including some in his summer den. What do I find in his saucer but slugs yes slugs - small grey ones and big pale ones helping themselves 😲😲😲. 

    Thank goodness for the frogs from the pond. 

    Incidently the hedgehog trust say slugs aren't a good food source, gives them ?worms? and mealworms deplete calcium from their bones. Still if my little fella or his mate, who know we have 2 😉, find the odd Mealworm overlooked by the birds or a slug or 50 you won't hear me complain 😃

    Edit I did try without success to post this yesterday evening!

     Come  on  now  Rocky,  you  should  be  aware  that  the  "Travelling  Community"  has  done  this  for  ages  or  so  I have  been  informed    by  Jack  Hargreaves  !!  ( Remember  Him  ??)

    He was one of presenters of "How". I don't think we got that Southern programme up here, but you can buy the box set apparently! I bet it a very nice trip down memory lane. Sort of thing that might turn up on Talking Pictures channel. Been some very interesting short films on there, I think they are part of film archives.

    Noticed thousands round Stonehenge today on news. Must have been a great sight this morning. We are being truly spoilt with the weather here at the moment, another warm and sunny day. So it's dog walking round a pretty reservoir close to us then a bit of a grocery top up for us. 

    Have a lovely day everyone!laughing

     It  was  fictional  as  you  say  R2B,  the  book  was  later  published  by  somebod  with  an  eye  for  a  quick  profit !!

    P.S.  I  did  like  your  tiny  writing  on  the  piccies,  Mate  --  nearly  stopped  my  aged  eyes  from  watering  !!tongue-out

     

    TTDA,  the  programme  'How'  /  'How 2'  was  certainly  transmitted  on  ITV  in  the  north-west  region  { Granada - land  as  it  is  known  now  }  but  was  probably  a  Midlands  programme  originally  --  without  looking  it  up  on  Bling.

    You  might  actually  be  right  there  David  !!  One  of  his  earlier  Programmes  for  Southern  TV,  Where  for  a  while  he  was  a  member  of  the  Board  --  so  a  London  boy  made  good  wink.

     

    Also  my  apologies  to  TTDA  --  it  was  indeed a  networked  Southern  TV programme  which,  sadly,  ended  when  Southern  T.V.  disappeared  in  1981

     

    R2B,  Some  similarities  in  the  piccy,  mate,  a  long  long  time  since  I  smoked  a  Falcon  pipe  tho,  &  never  did  wear  a  flat  cap  cool!!  But  for  the  rest  ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,,
