Toddler and laburnum
The message
from Anne Jackson contains these words: The message from Jaques d'Alltrades contains these words: The message from "Mike" contains these words: In that case, as you are so experienced, possibly more than anyone on this newsgroup and certainly more than me, I have only had four children and one grandchild, then you could have been a little more helpful and constructive in your posting. Your posting was very curt and on the lines of Baraclough of past. Are you by any chance a Traffic Warden in your spare time? Careful...... Much, much, much worserer and dangerouserer. curtsey Why, thank you, kind sir! The pleasure is mine, though maybe not mine alone..... -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Toddler and laburnum
The message
from "Mike" contains these words: "I" don't have a problem. "YOU" have a problem in that you are an expert and you do not wish to see newbies coming onto your Gardening Newsgroup asking questions. Not how I read it. Consequently, I have nothing to 'live with', but the two problems that you have to live with, are newbies popping up asking questions, and me. Again, not how I read it. I've known Anne for a long time and from my fairly brief acquaintance with you I'd wager she'd have you for a snack before breakfast. Oh by the way, please don't shout. (I would imagine that as you are so familiar with newsgroups and netiquette, that you are aware that using capitals is a sign of shouting). It shows that you are losing your temper and thereby not in control of your own emotions. Again, not how I read it. I *COULD* just sit back and watch, but the rather inadequate pomposity of your post was too inviting. Anne wasn't in the Diplomatic Service for nothing..... I also feel that in using the word 'bloody' in the context you have used it, then that is a sign of swearing at me. Please do not swear at me, or anyone else come to that, as I explained to Mabbett when he stooped so low as to swear at me, it shows a complete lack of the English language when you resort to using such words and I regard such people uneducated in said English language. A very laudable lecture, but if you are going to flaunt in public the English language and its use, I'd be inclined to make sure your use of it is at the very least, competent. Have a nice day And you may take that back to McDeadthings where it belongs. Please. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Toddler and laburnum
The message
from "Mike" contains these words: I'm sorry to have caused such a fuss, Don't let it worry you. From time to time everyone has a good old go at one-another and they forget what it's all about. Then someone puts the kettle on, and someone else finds a pack of biscuits. You haven't caused a fuss Rosie, I have because of the despicable way you were received. Cup of tea, anyone? (Anne's got the biscuits.) veg -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Toddler and laburnum
"Rosie" wrote in message
... I have a toddler and a medium-sized laburnum tree at the back of my garden, which seems to produce a lot of seeds. How poisonous are these seeds? Deadly. Two kids on our estate were rushed off to hospital when it was suspected that they had eaten some laburnum seeds. Fortunately they hadn't. They do seem to get everywhere. Would I be best off getting rid of the tree? Sadly, yes. (Obviously she isn't left to wander around the garden by herself, but she does like shoving things in her mouth.) Some day she will be big enough to wander alone but may well still be young enough to eat the seeds. -- Nick Wagg |
