    PS there are no such thing as 'seagulls'.............they are a range of birds not a specific species.....:) and anyway I don't have any gulls of any description in my freezer.

    Fact for today - with increased latitude (ie up north) growing stuff at sea level is kinda like trying to grow it half way up a mountain in central Scotland as increased altitude and latitude have similar effects on plants cos of climatic exposure (allegedly)

    not too bad, still fed up with work, need to feel that i'm making progress at home to be able to face work issues.
    Have you considered just burying the hamster? may solve some problems and free up space for those gulls you haven't yet got.
    put my piano on the notice board at work, kind of need it to sell as i really want the money to put towards my debt, but i really wish i could afford lessons again and make some wonderful use of it.

    Looks like a great black backed....they're a good size (Herring gull size) - would do a meal for two at a guess........might taste a bit fishy though?! (That's fishy as in "tastes of fish" rather than "suspicious")

    I was wondering about Piq too....

    but they take up so much less space we'll have to try and find some more for you. I'm braving brownies but i'm not sure....... singed on top and runny in the middle and i think the room is filling up with smoke and i've turned the oven down. Hope i don't have to write them off entirely.

    Help, anyone know a knack with them?????
