The Official Nonsense Thread

[Caspin]

I love the Forest of Dean. I have never seen a wild boar there though (they make nice sausages).

I'm convinced that the trees falling in towns and cities were a result of (a) inappropriately tall species being chosen for urban areas and (b) the fact that the roots of the trees are very shallow so the tree has no stability. They pour concrete or put down paving stones right up to the base of the tree, so it doesn't get enough rainwater filtering through the ground and ends up sending out tap roots just under the surface looking for water sources.

I think that for Christmas someone should buy Minty a nice plastic beaker for catching insects. It might be safer. Otherwise he will develop a reputation for riotous parties during which guests hurl glassware from the upstairs windows. Unless of course that this the reputation that that he seeks to cultivate, in which case - carry on.
