    I just Googled "sticky willy", as I'd not heard of it, and got the following:
    Cleavers
    Scientific Name : Galium aparine
    Other names: Beggar's lice, Catchweed Bedstraw, Cleaverwort, Everlasting Friendship, Goose grass, Grip Grass, Scratch grass, Stick-a-back, Sticky Willie, Scarthgrass, Sticky-willy, White Hedge
    Family: Rubiaceae

    It's what I've always known as Cleavers, and according to one of my books on herbology, the roasted seeds can be used as a coffee substitute.

    There you go.... a bit of useless information for you! :rotfl:



    good evening:j :j


    Candygirl as you can see Lame Wolf run it through Google and there is no such thing as sticky buds:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: willie,,, willy,, lice,, bedstraw,,,goose grass,,, grip,,, but no buds

    My ex is a doctor, so they aren't going to believe me, even though my last GP was quite clear in my notes about his behaviour - he'd marched in and had a go at him before. :( I avoided going for so long because of the things he used to say - he told me once that I risked getting sectioned.

    ((Hugs)) celyn - I think you will find that Dr's realise that they are all not nice, I am sure they will have met some who are not, maybe ask for an appointment with a lady one? As you said, sectioning is not that easy, I hate bullies, for that is all these sort are.

    Watch out - this will turn into a M-ing as I have to build up slowly, due to my darn connection.

    Well done SuesySue 91%.

    candygirl - thanks for the good wishes, coming round now, yesterday was nearly a sleep all day day

    I just looked up a picture of Cleavers and when we were young we used to call it love weed, as in you picked a bit, chucked it at your mate and it stuck to them. 'oooooooh you're in love cos it stuck to you' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
