Just to let you all know I have been growing my own friends in the
UK for some time now and was thinking it was time to give some of my
experience back and perhaps make a little bit of money back to pay
for collecting around the world.

Don't be lonely any more - get a pet, get several. Don't have room
for a cat or dog? Tired of sea-monkeys?

Grow your own cockroaches! Watch the cute little tykes romping
about in their cage, get that feeling of warmth and empathy as they
come up to eat (from) your hand. Learn to tell the individuals by
the way they flutter their little wings, in time you can call them
by name (1). Send $50 and a stamped self-addressed envelope to get your
first
supply of special high protein cockroach food dusted with live eggs.
Think of the money you will save as you no longer buy roach sprays
and bombs. You can be surrogate mother (or father) to millions! All you
need is love. Be quick as this offer won't be open for long. Just for a
bit of
fun the first 100 customers also get a litter of Rattus rattus! But
wait there's more, one in ten will be carriers of Yersina pestis! You
won't offers like this every day.

Thanks for your time and happy growing.

David


LOL. OK David, do tell. What is it that has got up your left
nostril so much that you've making this wonderful offer.


the edjiot offering to help you grow tobacco


Ah. That particular idiot.

How's your garden going? Did you get that snow dump the other night? We
did and it was most spectacular - full cover as far as the eye could see.
Turns out when we read the guage we got 50mm which was beginning to be
needed. Did a fiar bit of damage to trees 9radiatas, wattles and eucs) as
we've had a lot of dropped boughs - didn't do a thing to upset the apple
blossoms, or cause the damsons to drop but a few small rose sprigs were
broken.
