😀😀😀😀😀. Brilliant Obe, yes, agree that flushing must be done with the lid down, although I did hear, on tv, that it would be safer to prepare your food on the toilet seat than your worktop!
Even my aim isn't bad enough to hit the worktop.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Apparently it isn't native to the USA but arrived with Russian emigrants who had seed with them. The young shoots are edible, it seems, and probably a treat after a winter of frozen cabbage.. However, its habit of breaking off and rolling as it dies in order to distribute seeds has meant it has spread far and wide.
In Russia it seems it's good at absorbing noxious minerals from contaminated soil
Happen they found it rolling around places like Chernobyl Dove. The thing is, it presumably either breaks down and goes back into the soil or maybe gets used as kindling so not particularly useful as a uranium absorber then altho you'd certainly get a glow from a fire made with it..

Bit like all the neighbour's recycling heading past my window at the moment then, @wild edges!
My recycling was still outside the gate after the lorry had gone past. I committed the ultimate sin - I had a lot of cardboard to go out and it wouldn't all have fitted in their recycling bag, so I used a bit of common sense and packed it all into a large cardboard box. Box was open with the rest all neatly stacked inside. They wouldn't take it because it wasn't in the approved recycling bag! *&^%$$£ jobsworths.
OH’s brother had similar experience, they’d had a party and the box was full of bottles so they used a cardboard box on top for the surplus bottles, they wouldn’t take them so brother asked if he could put them in the cart, Yes they said. !

Ours will take any amount of recycling in any container, as long as they can see it's recyclable. We have a wheeled bin for everything that can be recycled and mine is normally full to the brim every fortnight.
I went to a poncey restaurant the other day. A wedge of lemon was involved in the starter. It has elasticated muslin knickers on it - why? And - more worrying - do they re-use them?
