Caterpillars do not, as previously thought, metamorphose into butterflies.

What actually happens is that butterflies lay their eggs in caterpillars, which then hatch and eat them while they are in their chrysalises (which are in reality nothing more complex than a form of sleeping bag).

When the butterfly has finished chomping on the caterpillar, it emerges from the chrysalis giving the impression it has transformed itself from a lowly grub.

Bad tempered fact: Just been out to check and none of my bladdy sunflowers have germinated.

I'm off to the garden centre to chew bubble gum and kick ass. Want to guess what I'm all out of ?

"Want to guess what I'm all out of ?"

Fags? Patience? Sunflower seeds?

Maybe rabbits or slugs are nibbling your seeds off just as they germinate.

Consider getting these guys to stand guard:

"Oy you! Leave Dounreay's seedlings alone"

Tiny Aussie popstrel Kylie Minogue is fiercely jealous of any attention her younger sister Dannii gets and often punches her and spits in her hair when no one is looking.

That's as good a reason for this as any

well many gereral household products can make a firefighting substitute for water, it all depends on your pyrolactic materials, the fuel to oxygen mix & yur flash points. Water is generally the cheapest & mostly readily available option however.

did you know halon extinguishers which are now banned for use in motor sports due to greenhouse gasses. are not banned on ships & are by far the best way of putting an engine fire out. whereas the current extinguishers we are required to fit in the rally cars are less effective than pi**ing on the fire. Guess i'll be wearing the proban vest then.

Okay, now I have an image in my head of a row of firemen 'hosing' out a fire...
