Reply to: Spod versus Threaded

[MarillionFan]

Just thought I'd start a new thread especially for you two, so you don't bung up all the other threads (sic) with your bickering.

Ok, go to it......

See! Life is just one great vicious circle

"Oh I see, Spod.. It's threaded that is the new hate of your life now is it? Poor old Franco has been forgotten has he?"

So there must be something in common between me and threaded... oh no... wait... that can't be right... I never was that ambitious...but I am younger and thinner than threaded... perhaps I still have time to invent my own time machine..

That's not what goes on in Hollingdean Road these days from what I've heard. Oooh!

Of course there was no vandalism in those days. How do you vandalise fertiliser? You can bash fertiliser with iron bars for forty six days and it still looks the same and works just as well!

No theft either. All anyone ever had before the fifties was big piles of manure. Of course there was no bloody crime! Who wants to steal manure? The very few who felt impelled by their criminal nature to steal manure got back home with bloody great wheelbarrows of the stuff and had great difficulty finding anywhere to put it when they already had shedloads of it!

Oh I see, Spod.. It's threaded that is the new hate of your life now is it? Poor old Franco has been forgotten has he? Cast off without a thought for everything he has done for you! Ooooooh! that's just so typical of you men!

BTW, Did you know that Threaded appeared in the new Star Wars Flick?

MMM... You see that Ann Widecombe. Thats your bestest girlfriend ever that is.:rolleyes

I'm very surprised that spod didn't pick up on There was no artificial fertilizer - I suspect he is doing what most with any sense do with a threaded post - skip over it. The correct response to this of course should have been - threaded clearly has no need to purchase any commercial fertilizers as he is so full of bulltulip already.

Sorry to interrupt - please carry on gents.

and?

See what I mean, Spodly's out of breath already.

His sadness is only exceeded by his fatness. :lol

We were quite self sufficient in vegetables, he used to grow enough potatoes to last us the whole year, as well as cabbage, spinach and sprouts.
When you look around Brighton and see the amount of places that are built on today and think to yourself about when they were all allotments, there was hundreds of them in Brighton, and people took a pride in them. I used to go with him on a Sunday to push an old barrow with a set of pram wheels on them to bring the vegetables home.

There was no vandalism in those days, you could leave your tools in the shed. There was no artificial fertilizer apart from bonemeal which always seemed to be available, and a lot of people used to do double digging - dig a trench, in went the manure, they used to get much better crops that way. Today there's not a lot of double digging done, a lot of people keep on digging the earth and digging the earth but don't seem to put anything back into it.


During the war everybody was asked to save anything that was edible for pigs. It used to go into pig bins that were distributed in the roads around Brighton, and there were special vans that went round collecting it all. It was taken up to Hollingdean Road where it was cooked in these big vats and when it was cold it was cut up into cake and sent out to all different farms to keep the pigs going. They used to collect a hell of a lot of stuff.

Spodly: You're about as well built as an allotment shed.
