Was the neighbor who bamboo bombed your garden the one who you gave the soil to; or did you drop a bamboo bomb of your own on some chump?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
--Zachris Topelius
Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

Different neighbour and he was warned, and puled the roots out by hand, deeming it much cheaper than buying top soil.

You haven't concreted your garden, have you?

That's one buzzword I will try to use next meeting.
"I've concreted my new implementation".
I'd rather be phishing!

Luckily, I won't be at that meeting.
So you might not get a slap.

Putting in a patio. 5 by 8.5 meters. Beside the house. The thing is, the French seem to over do things, and the guy is putting in foundations you cold build a friggin house on! Hence the large volume of soil. (As well as having scraped the top 5 inches off part of the garden to get rid of bamboo roots that have invaded from a neighbours garden).
All in all, it was a massive amount of soil. God knows what putting in a swimming pool produces!
I will probably sling that in the gully we have, it is free of bamboo, and thus safe.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q.

Now I am relieved. When I read "Another Thought for the Day" on the main page, I was afraid that OG thinks twice a day
Sorry OG should only be a joke I like your TODD, but usually I'm not able to give comment.

He's therefore a reverse Scrooge, so we need to handle him carefully -- with a left-handed scroogedriver.

"on his Tod" is cockney rhyming slang for being alone

This quote is commonly mis-attributed to William Gibson, as well as (for the gullible) Freud, who says its source is Steven Winterburn. There are other claims to authorship: [^].
«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009
