Am I the only one who will admit to using those blue chemical pellets everywhere, and then having bird feeders with blue chemical pellets going in a circle round the base? I have a ongoing snail infestation and switched to vindictive chemical warfare after one year of playing nice.

Pistol_Pete posted:This has inspired me to look up growing cabbages ('cos cabbages are cool) and growing stuff is apparently a lot more complicated than I was expecting. Seasonal timings, transplantation, soil ph, previous stuff grown in the soil, parasites, sunlight exposure... I always assumed you just stuck the seeds in the soil and they turned into food after the appropriate time interval. Do it! It's not that complex. Just plant stuff. Then if it all gets eaten plant more stuff! I grow hundreds of chilli plants and make my own hot sauce. In Spain everything grew like mad and we then lost everything not a chilli plant so we set up a plan for the next season... Then everything fell apart and I had to bin all our tomato crop and we had a good cry as we were moving. I'm keen to get my veg on, But you really don't have to go crazy. Just find a warm windowsill and plant some seeds in yoghurt pots or those planters from a supermarket then repot them into progressively larger pots. It becomes an addiction http://imgur.com/a/BoEpOAP is my office isolation desk right now and honestly it's keeping me sane planning stuff to plant. Thanks for all the great tips all!

Sorry if this question is too morbid, but how do I make a last will and testament in this country? I don't have any symptoms of anything, but just want to make sure I can give what I have to my girlfriend (we're not married) rather than it automatically going to Prince Andrew's estate or some poo poo

Otherwise contact Citizens Advice Bureau or check their website and they should be able to give more details about making a legal will.

Yeah, if the circumstances are simple enough then one of the off-the-shelf packs will be more than enough - I think my mum got hers from WHSmiths, but I'm sure the Post Office ones will be identical. To be honest if you're leaving everything to one person, then just sign a bit of paper saying so, and have a witness do the same. You definitely don't need to get a solicitor involved or anything like that, but make sure it's stored somewhere safely.

jaete posted:Sorry if this question is too morbid, but how do I make a last will and testament in this country? If you do want to use a solicitor, then some charities have arrangements with solicitors that they will cover £100 towards the cost. The hope is you will leave something to them in your will, but there's no compulsion to do so. I had a solicitor-drawn will and with that arrangement, it cost me just £12. Though my affairs were very straightforward at that point - a couple of years ago - as I didn't own any property at that point, don't have any dependents. Just left everything in equal shares to my siblings. And don't forget - you can't use someone as a witness who you plan to benefit from the will. But they can be an executor.

knox_harrington posted:Just having to persuade a friend that deliberately getting infected with coronavirus "to get it over with" is probably not a great strategy. If you're looking purely at the individual and not trying to convince them in terms of how it impacts others: it's worth waiting to get confirmation one way or the other as to whether someone can be reinfected with the disease. I think it's important science worth waiting for if you're considering the chicken pox strategy.

Rumour today that someone's uncle read on facebook that a guy he works with spoke to the cashier in a petrol station who said his mum has seen tanks on their transporters being taken into London. If some spotty Lance Corporal puts a 120mm HESH round through a toilet roll looting gammon and takes out the Shard by accident, that will truly make my pandemic.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Don't worry too much about a lockdown though. In other countries they're allowing essential travel and I think "i'm moving house" would qualify. So I don't think you need to drop everything and move out tomorrow. Hmm. In Wuhan they didn't but I imagine we'd follow the Italian example most likely, where essential travel was still permitted. This is a big one because the absolute worst case scenario (well, short of dying) is being trapped here for the next 2-3 months.

One good thing if you wanna plant some cheap easy stuff, dried peas are cheap and will grow super easily, just shove them in whatever you can find and watch em go. I have a pot of them on the windowsill in my kitchen atm. Balchelors do them in all the supermarkets and I reckon they'll still be in stock, because who the gently caress buys dried peas.

If you want a laugh at a total idiot I bought what I thought were 40 giant competition winning Celeriac seeds, but it turned out I bought a pack of 4000 which is enough celeriac to feed this entire thread for about a year, and the seeds smell insanely strong so now my house is going to smell of Celeriac forever.

I think the early release was them basically saying to stores "You can sell physical copies as you like" rather than an actual full-scale early release? idk. I will say that I very much want to shoot some demons.
