Thankyou for reponses so far on my website, if anyone else has suggestions or thoughts for products that could be good for gardeners or any other ideas, please dont hesitate to contact me. Holly. Well, you've already got Cat's request for a lethal hoe. ;-) Good luck, Holly. How about a mole trap that works and is quick and easy to set without losing fingers? -- David in Normandy.

It's been a good few years but I'm sure the VMS grey cells are still there under the dust :-) Getting way off topic now, but I once wrote a very large JCL program to monitor and regulate the system, run various jobs, backups, reports etc. I even gave it it's own username space to run in "Marvin". It would monitor and log off idle users and send messages to appropriate people saying printers had run out of paper etc. It got quite chatty with one user one day and they phoned up the I.T. dept asking to speak to Marvin :-) -- David in Normandy.

Cat(h) Yes, that's the one. I can't remember if the user was phoning to complain about something or to arrange a date with him :-) It is a bit unsettling to remember that I wrote the Marvin software twelve years ago! -- David in Normandy.

"David in Normandy" wrote in message ... Once I saw a white van with the lettering "Garden Maintinince" or similar spelling error. I couldn't help wondering if it was accidental or like the badly spelled sign outside Arkwright's (Ronny Barker's) shop - there as a lure to get people through the door so he could sell them something. Well, David, nobody's perfect - except in his (usually) own estimation. The man who never made a mistake never made anything. I doubt that any of the detractors knew everything when starting out.

"Cat(h)" wrote in message ups.com... I saw no-one having a go at the young lady. I saw plenty of feed back at the shop window (website) she uses to promote her project - some positive, some negative - which she might just see for what it is, constructive criticism which is helpful to her. As a designer, it is important that she would get a real feel for the response of her audience to what she designs, even her website, surely? And if she delivers on my permanent weeding hoe, she's guaranteed to become a gazillionnaire, and even more worthwhile, my eternal gratitude ;-) Cat(h) (so lighten up a smidgen, eh?) Please do |

"Cat(h)" wrote in message oups.com... I'm being rather more challenging than that: I want *permanent* weed removal. As in pluck once in a lifetime. As in creeping-buttercup- begone-never-to-be-seen-again. Just get a trowel, dear. and persevere. OIt worked for me. As in total weed sterility (with perfect wanted plant fruitfulness, of course). For certain values of 'weed' of course. That is, YOUR values. I wonder if the laser technology for unwanted hair removal could be adapted... It doesn't work. |
