Hello.
I'm going to upset people:rotfl:.
I've just managed to listen to that Justin Bieber song - or actually I haven't as I found it so 'unbearable' that I didn't even manage to get all the way through:rotfl::rotfl:, which tells you something - and, yes, no surprise to me whatsoever and entirely predictable, I don't really like it


I managed to last 35 seconds with the Justin Bieber song before I had to switch it off:rotfl:, as it just got too much for me.

You aren't upsetting me savvy......I don't care for it either:rotfl:

I'm looking at it too deeply. Do you think so?:D I think I'm looking at it too deeply by thinking about me thinking about me looking at it too deeply:rotfl::rotfl:.

In a way, it's wonderful about the human mind isn't it? I have more recently (last few years) wondered about whether the music I like is related to my autism. Yet I'm sure some other people who have Asperger's will like some different music to me and won't always like everything I do (indeed, I know that to be the case - even the autistic people at places I go to always put only music I don't really like on:rotfl:).

Yet I did used to like almost all pop music at one stage (and still do like that music), so I'm just old. Maybe people more generally didn't really like older pop music and think pop music now is fantastic (I just can't understand that!).

Conclusion (of this detailed analysis:rotfl:): I think there certainly are some elements to the music I like that are related to my autism. For example, my dislike of songs that have "emotion" (I find precisely the emotion offputting to me - it comes across as offputting sentimentality - and other songs have emotion to me), my liking of "repetitive" dance music as one of my most favourite genres, that doesn't sound repetitive at all to me, my liking of music with complex and detailed elements and arrangements. However, since I did (and do) like pop music at one stage, which was all recorded now much longer ago, I did at one stage share and 'get' music that many people liked, so my musical taste (or lack of, from other people's POVs:rotfl:) is not necessarily related to my autism.

Everything I see, hear, perceive though is through the prism of having autism and I have never it, and will never see, it any other way (just as most people's is through the prism of not having autism or Asperger's). So that would include music and it's surely got to be (as a matter of "common" sense?) through the prism of that? - although I can never tell as I am unable to get out of that prism and view it from some other place that I cannot do. How can I ever know how anyone else perceives the world? And, even if they tell me, I can only perceive and understand it from my own understanding (so still not know how they really are perceiving it)*.

Nice, esoteric, interesting discussion as usual:rotfl::rotfl:.

*Um. I'm now thinking, very thoughtfully, I don't know how something might affect someone else. I just can never know, and maybe it does - or clearly it does - affect them the way it which it does. So, (literally) everything is now up in the air about how other people might perceive anything. (It's all unclear and, fundamentally at the end of it all, I just don't know anything anymore, that I thought I knew before:rotfl::rotfl:. I have an idea about how things might, but no knowledge.)

We could call and collect a few bottles tomorrow morning we should be passing through Bristol at about 6am, you'll be up then won't you :rotfl:

You'll get a response but probably not the one you'd be looking for :rotfl::p:rotfl:

I started off with one bed too:rotfl:

I let the runners overgrow the bed and transplanted them into another bed.

They also say that you need to make a new home for them once you've had a bumper crop, usually every 3 years or so.....but you haven't had your allotment that long have you? But time flies so perhaps you have:)

This is my third year with the plot :eek: but the strawberries are on their second year. My plan is to keep replacing them at each site with runners every few years - Quite how I'm going to do that is another question :rotfl:

These plants were all from runners :cool:

Morning

I'm so jealous of the strawberries QoC, you'll have to get jamming!

I might have to give up my allotment just can't find any time to get down there. I took 2 days off work and got a space cleared, planted some runners but didn't realise about protecting them from the wind so they got burnt and died. I then got a second lot planted (around 40 each time) and they all got eaten by slugs. I also planted 2 lots of french beans (I put 3 seeds in each hole), all eaten by slugs
I hope I'll be able to pick it up in a few years, or maybe the next place we live will have a veg plot, fingers crossed anyway

There is plenty of jam :eek:

Slug pellets, crushed egg shells of used coffee grinds are great for keeping the slugs away. Use them all at the same time or separately.

Such a shame you feel like you should give it up
