We have had this disease where I live http://www.thisislichfield.co.uk/cannocknews/Tackling-plant-destroyer-Cannock-Chase/article-616680-detail/article.html . I also have similar views from my house too. But I will say that although they destroyed all the biberry bushes (about 800yds from my house) ...

I don't like socks with seams either - I wear them inside out so they don't irritate, oh yeah, and they have to be odd socks too!

My chickens (to my amazement) eat mice. I discovered this when cleaning them out and could hear a hich pitched squeaking, this then abruptly cut off!!

I have just got over an unnamed viral infection too. I have never had such a bad headache before, it was worse than the aching muscles and made me feel constantly sick. The only thing that worked for some respite were strong painkillers.

I watch newround if I watch news at all, much more light hearted.
