trust me val,i have tossed alot of stuff in the past and its sprouted,even when i am doing the washing up back home,bits of tomato and seeds left over from salads etc goes down the plug hole,next minute b4 you know it there tomatoe plants in the fields around us,,,,,,,,,,,,,our drainage system goes straight from our home into the fields,all underground about 2 feet.

all my water from bathroom ,washing machine goes straight through another drain into the garden where it feeds my fruit trees.

these fishy surveys are pretty cool,come up on the side ,quick and easy to do,my only complaint is,should be more of them,better than many that us lot get,go through half of them only to find yourself disqualified
i think a minimum amount ie should be given for any survey attempted,its only fair.

im going to check for seeds online tomorrow fluffy, i just checked that website and saved it.

trust me i will need alot of plants of every kind coz my garden is huge plus i got a farm in front of it but its empty right now,no cow crap there

i want to have as many options as possible, infact its the story of my life,if one doesn't work try another,keep trying,same goes with men

fluffy thats a brilliant idea,,,thanks man ,,,,question is i will try and get hold of what i can ,fly it over and see if it will grow or not........obviously weather permitting

Can buy candles made with and it repells them

thanks fluffy but the disadvantage with that is they might blow out,coz back there most people tend to sleep on their roofs or balconies coz its much cooler than indoors and candles ,well,the slightest of winds will just blow it away.

mind you the oil sounds ok,maybe i should try Holland and Barret and see what they got to offer

oh yes i heard about that ,its got a kinda mint smell hasnt it,what they use in vicks vapor rub and decongestants....pretty strong smell that is.
i know mosquitos are attracted to carbon dioxide and warmth,,ie humans! so really you got to hide that meaty smell,,,,really if i'm asking too much i need something that will work for a good 8/10 hrs flat and guarantees no nasty bites.

i remember once i covered every bit of my exposed body ,face hands,feet and ankles with a repellent,everything was ok until one stung me on the nose!
can you believe that? i thought i had it all covered and a mosquito pulls a sly one....desperados for blood they are no doubt if it means scanning you all night for a morsel.

yeah they do have instructions on the back,i mean for example spring here is more like autumn there,the climate is more or less double what it is here............for eg today was pretty hot 25.5c in oxford whereas in Pakistan it was around 38'c and its going up daily more or less.
the winters there are very cruel too,i planted potatoes last year and half of them withered away at the leaves coz it was so cold,had i planted em in my mums garden they would've ok.

i think seeds have to be really sturdy to withstand temps,oh well i will follow the instructions for everything i can sow in May that includes;

Chillies, peppers,cucumbers,runner beans. ...lettuce,cauliflower,brussel sprouts,beets,cabbage,carrots,corn,cucumbers,melons and tomatoes.

any others?

oh god charez i dont want to take drugs or tablets coz it means i will need to take em' everyday,day and night.....i want something effective that will keep em from biting me,,,,,,,,i dont know if you ever been bitten by a mosquito but the bite is really nasty,you end up scratching like a flea infested cat
its a horrible feeling and that itch lasts a good while or so and its nothing like a normal itch,its pure nastiness

not bad splat,you splatted that alright didn't you

i will be flying off back home come end of the month and was wondering if anyone had any homemade remedies or tips to ward off those nasty nasty mosquitos which i wll be facing 24/7 in the scorching,humid weather in Pakistan.

i have tried everything,from creams,sprays,roll-ons,bands,nets,you name it i done it but these dreaded nasties always find somewhere which you missed to bite you!
most of the creams and stuff i have tried is only effective for a few hours,then your asleep and the mosquitos start biting again and your up half the night scratching your guts away.

i would appreciate any tips,infact anything that works ,at least until the morning giving me a good nights sleep!
thanks in advance

val,,i agree with you to a certain extent,ok let me put it this way............radiation ,nuclear power ,atomic energy are all man-made,right? when that chernobyl disaster happened it affected everyone around it,that wasn't natural was it?
those people eventually died or got very ill or deformed in one way or another through no fault of their own.


yes cancer has been with us for along time ,only recent research has actually diagnosed it,found cures for it etc...what raju and i am trying to clarify is that there are alot of factors that can contribute to getting cancer,,,ie,lung cancer from cigarettes,could be other reasons too,but cigarettes are man-made,liver cancer,due to excessive alcohol,other reasons too.
i know what cancer is,its a flippin stubborn git and no one wants it.

bottom line is some forms can be prevented ,others just a case of bad luck,theres environmental factors,the way we live,how we abuse our bodies with substances,diets etc,,the list goes on and on.

there would be more chance for someone to get effected by radiation by living next to an atomic plant than for a person living out in the countryside,clear from everything.

the varieties in England are very different to those that of Pakistan, that's why i quite dubious as to whether they will grow or not or die out half way through.........well gotta try before assuming anything b4 hand.
i do try and save seeds from previous veg like okra,courgettes and pumpkins etc.

i agree with you raju,alot of modern day ........what would you class it as? hmm i guess lets call it modern living with all your modern gear/tech/bustling society etc has its impact on our health one way or another,doesn't necessarily mean it will destroy us or cause cancer....
for example alot of them are man-made like nuclear power,radiation ,which if you lot remember caused an outbreak in Chernobyl,giving cancer to many......this isn't hereditary by no means

this article that i found just proves raju's point....ok dont believe everything you read but its worth considering the facts and research that has been done.


(NaturalNews) It may be hard to believe, but a recent study shows that cancer is 100 percent a man-made disease, and that it is caused by modern-day phenomena like pollution and dietary intake.

Researchers at the University of Manchester's KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology in England, reached that conclusion in 2010, after reviewing remains and literature from ancient Egypt and Greece, as well as earlier periods, a study that also included the first historical diagnosis of cancer in an Egyptian mummy.

The study, published at the time in the journal Nature Reviews Cancer, noted that researchers found only one occurrence of cancer while investigating hundreds of Egyptian mummies. In addition, they found very few references to the disease in period literature, which indicates that cancer cases were extremely rare during the period.

However, after the Industrial Revolution, cancer rates exploded, and in particular among children, which proves that the rise in cases is not exclusively tied to longer life.

"In industrialized societies, cancer is second only to cardiovascular disease as a cause of death. But in ancient times, it was extremely rare," said Prof. Rosalie David, of the Faculty of Life Sciences. "There is nothing in the natural environment that can cause cancer. So it has to be a man-made disease, down to pollution and changes to our diet and lifestyle.

"The important thing about our study is that it gives a historical perspective to this disease," she continued. "We can make very clear statements on the cancer rates in societies because we have a full overview. We have looked at millennia, not one hundred years, and have masses of data."

Modern industrialization

The research includes the first-ever histological diagnosis of cancer in an Egyptian mummy, which was made by Prof. Michael Zimmerman, a visiting scholar at the KNH Center, who is based at Villanova University near Philadelphia. He managed to diagnose rectal cancer in an unidentified mummy, an "ordinary" person who lived in the Dakhleh Oasis during the Ptolemaic period (200-400 AD).

"In an ancient society lacking surgical intervention, evidence of cancer should remain in all cases. The virtual absence of malignancies in mummies must be interpreted as indicating their rarity in antiquity, indicating that cancer causing factors are limited to societies affected by modern industrialization," Zimmerman said.

The research team examined mummified remains as well as literary documentation and evidence for ancient Egypt, but only literary evidence from ancient Greece, because there are no known human remains from this period. The team also looked at medical studies of animal and human remains from earlier periods, extending all the way back to the age of dinosaurs.

Short lifespans not a factor

Overall, evidence of cancer in early humans and animal fossils, as well as non-human primates, is extremely rare. There are only a few dozen examples in animal fossils, though these are mostly disputed. However, there has been a metastatic cancer discovery of unknown primary origin in an Edmontosaurus fossil, while a separate study lists several possible neoplasms – new and abnormal growths of tissue in some part of the body, especially as a characteristic of cancer – in fossil remains.

Some scientists and medical researchers have suggested that the rare incidence of cancer in antiquity was due in large part to short lifespans. While this statistical construct is accurate, humans in ancient Egypt did not develop other conditions that primarily affect young persons.

Another explanation for the lack of cancerous tumors in ancient times is that tumors possibly are not well-preserved. Zimmerman has performed some experimental studies indicating that mummification actually preserves the features of a malignancy and thus, tumors should actually be more well-preserved than normal tissues.

Still, though hundreds of mummies from around the world have been examined, there are still only two publications showing microscopic confirmation of cancer. Radiological exams of mummies from the Cairo Museum have also failed to show evidence of cancer.

thats coz people have instincts which animals dont....we have so many emotions,which get the better of us,we hate,despise,etc etc,,,,,animals on the other hand, are protective about their young,show effection,can show aggression if provoked and eat,sleep like us.

humans even tho we are more advanced and intelligent more than animals,many of us are worse than many animals out there that show no remorse.

i love dogs,especially big ,fat,cuddly,cute,furry huskies! they are absolutely gorgeous,,,,,,,,,,i also like alsatians,labradors and st.bernards.

catwise i do like a siamese,or a burmese,infact anything cute and sweet

well im going to experiment this year,im taking a whole bunch of every veg seed available here,homebase or somewhere,then taking em' to Pakistan,i want to see if the british veg will grow and survive in a different climate. hope it does coz then i want to build a greenhouse and try to grow veg all year round.

has anyone anywhere,taken seeds from one country and tried to grow it in another?

are there seeds available online that are really sturdy and can withstand harsh weather and changing climates?

theres alot of bookies,casinos in England,,,alot of advertising is focused on these ,i mean not really a good thing to be advertising on t.v when so many people are struggling...followed by loan and credit companies to help you out when you lose haha,,,

2 types of people go to casinos or gamble,,,the rich who just want to have a good time and got nothing better to do with their money and the not so rich ones that just try their luck to make a few more bucks...at the end of the day its a 50/50 chance and these casinos will always win eventually.

i remember the twilight zones in black and white,,,pretty good stuff for the time..........timeless they were

here similiar stuff is t'tales of the unexpected' and 'hammer house of horror'? heard of these?

Oh thats cool i will see it later 2night then and give my verdict,,lets see your taste niko dear
