But I have learnt something: the plural of cheetah.

Also, Allington Nursery and... what?
Hello. There will be a 'Newcastle' post, but not until Monday. Real life is in the way. In the meantime, though, and from the same cycle ride as the Salad Depot, the most English 'advert' imaginable.
I was going to crop it to just the top half, which is the bit that made me take the photo. But actually, I like the bottom half as well. 'Showroom'?

Ever wondered where salad comes from?

Happy Birling Day
Just a quick one, to say there's plenty of me on Radio Four today. Perhaps too much. New Cabin Pressure at 11:30, featuring the return of the mighty and hilarious Geoffrey Whitehead as Mr Birling; and then on the Now Show at 6:30 I get to express my important opinions about the News of the World hacking Milly Dowler's phone. Sneak preview: I'm broadly against it.
Family stuff to do today, so I'll put my 'Paris' post up tomorrow. Hope you enjoy it!

He also invented the petard.
strange target of this radar plot
victim of his own invention.
enabled cloud-bound planes to fly
it spots the speeding motorist
the hand that once created it.
who may be nailing up your coffins,
(particularly those whose mission
is in the realm of nuclear fission)
pause and mull fate’s counter plot
and learn with us what’s Watson-Watt.
