Default Oil seed rape - GRRRRRRRRRRR

I hate the bloody stuff, it gives me such awful hay fever. I have to take anti-histamines to cope. It's everywhere. On the way home from Liverpool today the fields around Chester are full of the damn stuff, I could hardly see where I was going, my nose was that runny and my eyes were that itchy and of course I foolishly stopped and rubbed them, it just rubs the pollen in deeper.

I'd like to arsonate every goddamn plant of it on the planet

Eh? oh you mean the bees eat the pollen from it! for those that suffer allergys of the stuff honey is meant to be a good remedy, start eating local honey before the hayfever season starts and its meant to acustom your body to the stuff before the pollen comes.

But we'd have no margerine if you napalmed it all!

I can't wait for the flies blocking my vision by rudely sticking their lifeless bodies to my visor.

SUMMER'S COMING EVERYONE! YAY!

T'is a blight of our pleasant land.


Could you imagine William Blake today writing

I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's yellow and pleasant land
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's yellow and pleasant land

Arsonate.


Now there's a great new word that can be taken out of context waaaaay too easily!

Ditto Ed, ditto... I suffer with Grass & Tree Pollen too... So I get my symptoms early in the season...

My reaction can be so bad, the whites of my eyes swell up
