The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

gardens sounds good. probably a flippy book. but nonetheless one of those books you might find below the magazine rack while in the toilet at the age of 6, inspiring you forever to become… a garden man.

i think the problem there´s just the MUST. chill out. take it one shit at a time.

You realize there is a whole tourism industry based on gardens. My Grandma and my Aunt would LOVE this book. There are also big networks of private gardens that are opened up for tours to other enthusiasts. Even my cousin (my age) went into Landscape design. I’m the only one who turned their back on nature for the lure of the city and the growth of brands vs petunias. Mmmm the smell of a tech brand fluttering in the sun on a spring morning.

dont encourage him emily, hes got enough to do and now the fucker will be starting “campbell garden holidays” then contacting your gran and aunt with a special “introductory offer” 🙂

Are you all bored? Well I know Andy is – but the rest of you?

Hi Emily, how is it all going? I do know about green-fingered tourism but I was always of the belief it was more of a cottage industry than something more formal.

My Mum would love this book as well – my comment was just that at 1001 gardens, it might seem quite daunting for the person who actually wants to visit the places for real.

Of course I doubt anyone really would want to do that [except the sort of anorak who no one likes to sit next to on the bus] which makes this post completely pointless – but then most of my posts are rubbish so why break the habit of a lifetime.

Still think the publishers are missing a trick by not organising a proper, formal garden tour though.

And yes Andy, I did get the company an allotment space – and if it wasn’t for George’s kids, it’d resemble the bloody Amazon rainforest as no one has ever bloody gone to visit it, let alone grow the odd tomato 🙂

for anyone who wishes to send me a birthday gift, i’d like rob campbell’s 1001 Coffins To Try Before You Buy. i already have a limited-edition, double-chamber coffin and feel like there’s a whole world of coffin culture that i’m missing out on.

rob – i read this bit of news today and unsurprisingly thought of you. expect a garden gnome in the mail soon. 🙂

You’re not on gardening leave are you? 😉

Shows how well Campbell is informed, std and prostitutes??

if the pootie thang ain’t clean, they gets no green, every kid knows that.

So if you wanna be facilitating the supply of organs for money, best know the basics..

Bazza is right. And I know you’re itching to come back so just do it.

What the Whizz boy said. A new low has been reached on this blog, the only advantage of which is that it’s so low that even Bazza can now see it.

so much for the new optimisitic opi…

im off to see campbell today, does anyone want me to pass on any messages other than his blog is shit and hes a lazy fuck?

I’m very optimistic Lauren, but that doesn’t mean I’ve turned off my brain.

doddsy, erm, sigmund, don’t lie, you’re the tour guide.

marcus – you’re absolutely right. nor your wit. as you were.

Bloody Campbell, that’s who you are.

Excuse me Lauren, but any “sex pest” reference has to assigned to Mr Dodds.

Sorry, but it’s a contractual obligation – you don’t work that hard to then allow it to be flippantly awarded to someone else.

On behalf of Lauren, I hope this issue hasn’t caused you any undue distress Mr D.

I’m too busy being accused of being a scientologist to worry about the sigmund’s of this world aspiring to my stature.

I’ve got an ology!

i’m confused, rob. i are suggesting that i’ve offended doddsy by suggesting that he was a sex pest, or that he wasn’t?

and sigmund, to be honest i dont’ give a fuck who you are. all i know is that i’m fucking livid and have made a complete fucking twat of myself twice this hour alone. analyse that.
