OSR as food (for us)

[Neils]

The Mrs has been bringing back bags of OSR over the past week or so, we've been steaming it and having it for dinner like broccoli, I know they're related (OSR and Broccoli, not the Mrs), but until now I've never even considered it or seen it in a green grocers.
I recommend it, the yellow flowers are a little disconcerting to my eyes, but it's a nice addition to the dinner plate.

I read on biobees that it was full of jellyfish genes. Have you started to glow in the dark yet.

If it has been treated with a neonicotinoid,then be careful about orientation problems when returning from the pub.

How many pints is sub lethal and what is the LD50 for ethanol?

He ought to be able to metabolise it within 5 hrs or so. Mind you, the breakdown products cause just as many problems ... but in time he'll metabolise them too. Should be able to stagger home around dawn I'd have thought.

[Jimbo]

Thats if he does not collapse by then !

[Neils]

I tried it once but they don't half make a hell of a racket when you light them.

Are you the chap who posts under the username of Borderbarnacleman over on BKF - he of the TITANIUM CTRL key?
If so, I take my hat off to you sir as you were the first to prove that insecticide is deadly to insects and have managed to get this putrid cesspit of corruption to a wider audience via some award winning sources.
Next stop cold fusion.
You know of course that award winning journalism is responsible for putting 1/3 of the food we eat on our plates and that when this type of journalism stops, mankind will only have 4 years left to live, if you could even call it living as we will all be the canary in the coalmine.
Lets hope this is not a harbinger of another silent spring and may the midges adhere to your windscreen like never before.
Why only the other night I dreamed that a seagull followed a tractor or maybe a trawler but obviously this was a hallucination as it could never happen again in my lifetime as Julian Little took all the worms.

May the Force Be With You!

The internet simply doesn't get better than this, thanks guys. It has taken me hours after first reading but I've changed my underwear and composed myself and feel that I can type again.

Thankfully beagles are rare in these parts. I simply wouldn't be able to look one in the eye. Plenty of seagulls though.

[Neils]

Careful, where's there's seagulls barnacles must be nearby.
