What happened to my bookmarks? Mon, 21 Mar 2011 19:21:02 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/300615/ I appreciate the need for people to place flowers in rememberance at the scene of fatal road accidents.

Democracy... tastes like chicken! Fri, 26 Mar 2010 22:35:23 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/267809/ YES! Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:17:09 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/265980/ For some reason tonight I feel the need to make my feelings known that homeopathy is a complete and utter load of toss. Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:16:32 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/253836/ The answer? Badly.... Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:33:04 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/249644/ Well the tomato plants in the garden rotted and died :( Sat, 12 Sep 2009 12:51:56 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/248644/ Vegetable loving IC-ers may remember my surprisingly popular series of blogs entitled "Shroomy's Seed Watch" last year chronicalling the progress of my vegetable growing experiments. I know some were hoping for the return of SSW in the new gardening year and were dissapointed when I was not able to oblige owing to the end of my tenancy agreement in August and not knowing if my new digs would be vegetable friendly. Sun, 22 Feb 2009 18:29:25 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/227728/ I got this in an email from my sister... If made it will produce a substance not unlike a chocolate steamed sponge pudding. Really rather alarming that after coming into possession of this recipe one is able to go from ingredients to cake in 5 minutes flat. It is rather nice when served with ice-cream. Mon, 09 Feb 2009 18:41:29 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/226057/ I really was going to write a proper blog about the end of my first ever veggie growing season... but first one thing delayed it, then another. Anyway the tomatoes were mostly turned into chutney (which was actually very delicious!), the parsnips were all roasted and yummed up and the carrots were boiled, roasted, stirfried or just eaten raw. Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:50:06 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/208359/ It is my great honour and priviledge to announce the results of the Name the Tomato competition (see my last weblog). Fri, 12 Sep 2008 19:55:42 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/207848/ Well the main bulletin this week is that Triffid's index tomato has started to ripen!!! Sat, 06 Sep 2008 13:41:04 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/206988/ Well the garden of Shroom is wet and soggy.... Mon, 01 Sep 2008 21:44:08 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/206382/ Just a quick update tonight peeps... Mon, 18 Aug 2008 18:56:57 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/204703/ Well peeps today the Big Sunflower has cleared the garden fence... how much this will amaze and delight my neighbours (who are living out a cliche of being camp gay air stewards) is as yet unknown... Mon, 11 Aug 2008 21:44:07 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/203808/ In gardening news my sunflowers are going from strength to strength. I really must dig out my steel tape measure but at a rough gestimate the biggest one is clocking up growth of roughly an inch a day. It has about 18 inches to go before it makes it to the top of the garden fence and if the weather remains mild with some sun I think it's going to make it. Sun, 03 Aug 2008 15:02:30 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/202741/ The sunflowers are all between 4 to 6 inches taller and look much healthier than in recent times. However the main news to report is that the tomato has, for want of a better description, gone Triffid. It's extended it's lower shoots to seemingly double their size and at a rough count the plant now has about 10 to 11 trusses forming... also I spotted the first little green tomato nestling amongst the leaves! Thu, 31 Jul 2008 20:36:06 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/202429/ Hummm it seems that I let the seed blogs slide somewhat... Mon, 30 Jun 2008 22:00:23 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/198390/ Damn you Andy Murray....
