glow in the dark caterpiller lol

LOL,I remember these, my daughter had one as well

lol well would your daughter like her very own live one now janette

NO,she,d have a fit if she even saw a caterpillar,Takes after me lol I dont know what the caterpillars are doing here but they have started to climb up the house for some reason all heading for the eaves,the big fat ones that eat all my plants Any idea why?

cos they likeeeeeeeee you????

Sounds like the panda caterpillar to me Janette .Eats shoots and eaves.

lol good one bonkers

Thanks Irish - wonder if Janette forgiven me for finishing all the lager ?

Well I will forgive you Bonkers ,this time lol

Maybe we should start drinking tequilla - isnt that the drink with a worm or bug in the bottle? Think how many creepy crawlies we could get rid of.Perhaps a few slugs of whisky too.

Worm slugs No I think I will just stick to the lager I am sure Eileen would join you with the slugs of whisky She likes slugs lol

you ever have tequilla Bonkers? maybe we could start something new.
a slug in every can of guinness lol

Slugs in Guinness great idea Just thinking of the Sunday drinker lol

lol dunno who you could be talking bout

He would never touch the stuff again if he swallowed a big fat slug LOL

Well beats a widget ! Have just googled Tequilla to find out about the worm .Quite interesting and surprisingly garden related. The tequilla plant is an Agave you know those big spiky yellow and green house plants.

Apparently its a butterfly larva that burrows into the plant.Its only done in districts of Mexico not America.Never eaten the worm and wont now but great with salt and lime.

cool Bonkers, we can drink to our hearts content knowing that it has something to do with gardening lol...... i know, i know , any excuse and im on it

Thought just in case a few members thought they d logged into to an AA counselling session - I d mention plants.Did you see Snowdrops caterpillar? This the tussock moth that feeds on hops !!! Beer and lager shortage does Guinness need hops?

Well no chance of getting flagged then if its garden related lol Might just go and have a read myself I have never tried the stuff myself

its an aquired taste janette.
guinness always needs hops Bonkers , some days in the city centre you can get the strong smell of hops from the brewery

Oh well going to have to change to spirits or water! When lived in York it was the smell of chocolate from Rowntrees and Terrys .

Well I.ll be fine with the lager it usualy smells of crisp here Not far from Golden Wonder crisp factory

i grew up now far from the cadbury and tayto ( crisps) factorys over here, used to loveeeee the smell

No I hate the smell of the oil yuk, dont mind the crisps but lol

anyone got the munchies yet reading this lol ive just had some popcorn

Another gardening fact my fellow drinkers. Cadburys and Rowntrees were Quakers so wouldn t approve of us - wouldnt allow pubs in their communities but insisted that workers grew lots of fruit and veg . Even today when visiting these villages ablaze in spring with blossom as each garden planted with various fruit trees .

They were totally socialist if you the company director with no children you d live in a smaller house than the guy who swept the factory floor if he had six kids. As you can imagine not big on contraception then.Ps struggling here to keep this garden related but 10/10 for effort?

your full of info tonight Bonkers, well done

Full of something ! x

well im finding it all very interesting,,,,,,, but the question still remains Bonkers............... do you remember Glow Worms lol

Well cant for the life of me remember what they were but remember something that had to be exposed to daylight so as to glow at night . Would these have been glow worms?

thats the very ones Bonkers........ the next round is on me

Oh hence your trips to Scotland ? Would you like to hear a funny story ?

I would ,go on then tell the story Bonkers

im listening Bonkers, so tell

Well my mother from Sligo and so proud of her Irish roots I thought one year it would be a nice gift to get her one of those ancestral charts based on her maiden name.So I ordered it for her in time for Christmas and arranged for the chart to be sent to her home address.

Her maiden name was Ballantyne and she opened the chart to read ' this famous SCOTTISH family... ' she went ballistic .

lol ah nooooo Bonkers. after such a lovely thought for a pressie from you.
very unusual name i have to say, never heard of it

Think Ballantines within an I a famous Scottish whisky - that right Janette?
