I couldn't have summed that up better myself!
Glad I could help out with the other tune... Have you got shazam for your phone?
I don't even know what shazam is. But it looks quite interesting.

I've always wanted to know what that tune was called, First class !!!

Without doubt the best track on the Album, love the breakdown, and the "waarrrrp"
Perfect for the early "AM" after a heavy night out.

Obituary: Bernard Matthews
Bernard Matthews became famous for his "bootiful" catchphrase which saw him describe his products in a rich Norfolk accent in 1980s television adverts.
The turkey tycoon began his multi-million pound business in 1950 with just 20 eggs and a second-hand incubator bought from a market in Acle, Norfolk.
Just 12 hatchlings from the initial batch of eggs survived, but he managed to sell them for £9.
Two years later he was producing 3,000 turkey eggs at his home and decided to leave his insurance job and move into poultry farming full-time.
He and his wife, Joyce, bought a dilapidated mansion, Great Witchingham Hall, three years later, which is still the headquarters of the company. It was often shown in television adverts.
Within 10 years it became the biggest turkey processor in Europe and brought cheap meat to the tables of the masses.
Matthews told the BBC: "When I started the price of turkey was extremely expensive for the ordinary person. To put it in perspective there were less than one million turkeys being produced in England in 1950 when I began, and in those days a man had to work for a week, the whole of a week's wages to pay for a turkey for Christmas.
"Today, it only takes two hours of his working time to be able to buy one."

"The Girl with the Sun in Her Head" was dedicated to the memory of Volume magazine photographer Sally Harding who died in 1995.[4] The track was recorded using electricity from a Greenpeace solar power generator. It opens with the sound of a heartbeat which serves as bass and develops into a cyclopean soundscape which many critics hold as one of Orbital's most accomplished pieces.[5]

Goulash, sausages and black pudding, the mother in law butchered it. Made her weekend.
I'm not to sure what is the better asset, A wild boar thats cost nothing or a Mother-in-law who is able to butcher - lol
Have you thought about smoking the hams ?
The Goulash sounds quite nice.

............ actually, let me rephrase that.
From:
You say the hill's too steep to climb,
Climb it!
You say you'd like to see me try,
Climb it!
You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
The hill in my own way
Just wait a while, for the right day
And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down hear the sound of the things you said today
Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling
Merciless, the magistrate turns 'round, frowning
And who's the fool who wears the crown
Go down in your own way
And everyday is the right day
And as you rise above the fearlines in the frown
You look down
Hear the sound of the faces in the crowd

Nuff said.....
Indeed, and I've still yet to hear a few of those albums.
I've even got a copy of Meddle which I've still yet to hear. I'm quite looking forward to it

+ whatever will grow well in a growbag - tomatos maybe
+ has anyone here thought /heard of aquaponics - is apparently serious stuff for home self sufficiency ! see

Tomatoes is where I started and should be pretty easy, Get them off and running around February or March* just always remember to pick out the side shoots and put a stick next to it, normally 3 to a bag, I'd also try a cucumber as well, although I'll admit they're not as easy to germinate when compared to the tomatoes. And of course, a feed every couple of weeks and a sunny sheltered position on a patio and I'd have thought you'd not have to many problems.
*(judging the season is always a personal call, this year I waited until early April due to the frosts)
When planting out, give the bag a good filling up with water, then when the plants are in just keep the growbag moist, nothing more nothing less. A common mistake is to over water, then under water. if you do this you'll end up with blossom end rot.
all the best.
Och I have no greenhouse. No idea where to put my strawbs though. More knocking up of coldframe type tatt for me then.Good Luck.
I'd also put your Strawberrys in a sunny sheltered position right now, I would think they'll be fine outside. but obviously a cold frame is always going to be benifical.
Good luck with the corn
-
Blimey, looks like you've had a good growing season
Update:Peppers are still going strong. When the frost came, they did start to look a bit sorry for themselves, even though they are in the warm corner against a heat-retaining wall. So I sorted out the coldframe, which is a glorified piece of opaque plastic shunk over a metal frame. Still growing as they face the rising sun.
I'm obviously doing something wrong here..... mine (with the exception of 1 single pot plant) all finished around a month ago. my aubergines where terrible, got a fair size but just wouldn't rippen.
Sweetcorn still on plants. Semi-sheltered position. Rats got the lowest one and obviously approved as I found the discarded cob gnawed clean.Neighbourhood tabby got adult rat and hunts everyday for the juvies. Little rat is living a charmed life. Is very clean though, but maybe dead soon.
I wonder how much longer I can leave the cobs on the plants? They are 'toasted-haired' at the ends and have been for a month or so.
Anybody know if they'll retain their juiceiness if left in situ for a while? Or will they dry out too much?
Next year I will definitely plant the corn much earlier, under cloches if I have to. Ideally I want the cobs maturing in waves from July onwards.
I hope you don't mind me saying, I think you should have had these off a while ago, thing to do if you are not aware is as soon as the silks blacken, is to open up the cob and press your thubnail into the cob. if the liquid comes out a slight milkey colour then it's ready to be picked.
If you leave it on the cob........... it goes really hard. I think this is how farmers grow it for cattle feed, but please do quote me on that.
Strawberries have colonised any free space anywhere. They'll probably die off over winter. I wonder though I've they'll regenerate next year of their own accord. There's enough of them.I'll probably get a combination of normal and alpine strawbs for next season. Apparently alpines don't produce any trails and are 'invisible' to birds etc, allegedly.
Good Luck.
I've stuck all my strawberries in the greenhouse for the winter, hopefully it'll give them a good start for next year, I'm currently up to about 80 plants all from 3 plants given to me 3 years back
All the best

A period of transition can either be very easy, or….. well not so easy. For myself it is most definitely the later, and it’s still not finished.
So In the meantime here are a couple that have kept me going while in the bunker. I owe a lot to this forum and to what I have learned here so I’d thought I’d quickly pop by and say hi
