Congratulations to;

[Huguenot]

You can't really have 9.02 pounds. The '9' is in imperial, the '.02' is decimal.

You'd have to be pounds, ounces, drachms and then grains. For those in 1824, anything of a smaller fraction than a grain didn't exist.

Doesn't detract from the fact that Rory's one BIG mini-mockney!

will I get in trouble if I start calling him Ruaidhri?

Congrats to all 3, now someone give that woman a break

Thanks for the maths lessonzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Using decimal style fractions with imperial measures if something I have noticed people do recently. The width of skateboards for instance come in measurements such 8.25? (meaning 8 ?) or 8.5? (meaning 8 ?).

I blame the Americans.

Not because of any real evidence you understand but just because it?s easy.

[Moos]

Congratulations Jeremy and Mrs. Jeremy! Lovely news.

[PeckhamRose]

to me and the scientists.

I have been ill with bad lungs for years and whilst I may suffer another down turn now and again in the future, my lungs and thus all of me generally feels healthier now than I have in a good couple of years. Yesterday was particularly noticeable as I carried a 15 litre HEAVY sack of fullers earth cat litter up 3 flights of stairs without pausing for a break! BIG bad new drugs, but they work.

So congrats and a big thank you to the Scientists.

Oh, and to the Jeremys! Congrats!

[giggirl]

Congratulations PR - that is indeed wonderful news. I know it has been a battle. I always think you look the picture of health if that helps?

[PeckhamRose]

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I won Silver for the Best Balcony in the Southwark In Bloom Awards.

It's important to tell them every trough or pot you have was from a skip, they like the idea of the recycling angle.

But it is true I got many of my seeds and plants from folk on here, as well as Paul from Indacos and a few from Shannons.

They also liked the hanging helmets full of plants and flowers, photos of which posted elsewhere on this site.

I'd like to thank my mother, but she has very very bad short term memory so I'll have to thank her every five minutes.

[giggirl]

Well done PR. Please post another picture though or a link to the last one.
