YOURSELF KLAXON

The Traitors has now truly begun, with an improper use of yourself.

And myself, for one, has missed the grammatical soup of the Round Table. I hope yourselves are also enjoying it.

I convinced mother to try The Traitors, because it is clearly the most fun thing on TV.

Unfortunately, for some reason this glorious High Camp has finished her and she's out. I genuinely don't get why you could not find this anything other than brilliant

You'll definitely need it

I taught for 12 years, ages from 8 to 18 at various times, at schools across the south, including doing various PHSE programmes. At no point did the topic of Black people being victims come up.

Sometimes there's collateral damage. And if the bindweed is lurking out there, I'm ready with my spray

Curious Iguana @curiousiguana.bsky.social · 12h

The bindweed has gone, Jean. I think that's a job well done.

She did actually refer to me to the UN under the chemical weapons treaties

Ridiculous. If you've never used glyphosate, how can you be rewarded for stopping?

I can't predict what may happen in the future, any more than I can change the past. You should give me plaudits and awards for the courageous decision I've taken today

Why? Was it on after your bedtime or something?

I'm going for Organic Gardener of the Year. I think it's a well deserved and highly appropriate award given that from this point onwards I have stopped using glyphosate.

Finally, I sprayed around the apple trees. And when I saw that the garden was back to bare soil, I agreed now was the time to stop.

My partner was grateful that I put my spray down. She said I had done the right thing and was a hero for stopping, and now our garden could flourish.

The end

Once I'd done that, I sprayed the lavender, and the herb garden and the jasmine. In case there was bindweed there. I told my partner it was the only way.

She insisted I stop.

The bindweed was hard, it was wrapping around my roses. I tried spraying the bindweed leaves, but in the end it was easier to spray the roses too. My partner was upset at me and insisted I stop, but I told her I couldn't get rid of the bindweed otherwise and we could get new roses.

I went into a garden with a big sprayer of glyphosate because I wanted to get rid of invasive weeds.

I started spraying the dandelions, and they died. But it was a bit windy and my spray got on some of the pansies. My partner was annoyed, but that's ok They die off anyway.

Legislation always takes time to come into effect. Solving the problem of restricted open hours was "done" in 2003.

They're not even really changing the licensing law, they're just telling councils to take "economic growth" into account along with the existing four categories
