CAMERA MUST BE UP! NO NUDITY

Just put all my chili pepper plants inside for the remainder of the season. They're about two months behind this year because I initially put them in the wrong kind of compost after germination, in which they refused to grow. Normally, I leave them out until October, but the impending cold weather will not be good in order for the peppers to ripen fully.

Always make sure your chili plants get a good head start. I usually start my seeds the day after winter solstice, and it has proved to be ideal for every variety I've tried so far, because at our latitudes here, it means they will get the mid-summer sun right when it matters the most, while the peppers are ripening.

I've got maybe three or four chilli plants in a windowbox on top of my tumble dryer (in the living room) and they grow maybe three chillies a year, and this year I had one that was black for weeks. It went from green to black, then stayed black, only turning red about a month later. That was a bit bizarre. I'm no gardener, but I started to get worried that these ancient plants that are tremendously mismanaged might finally be dying.

Chili plants can last longer than one season if they are looked after well, but generally, they tend to bear less fruit and are less vigorous the following years.

I always grow all new ones every season, but I'm feeling tempted to keep one plant this year as an experiment to see how it actually does after another year or two.

You can cut back this year's stock and create a bonsai chilli that'll take less space, if you're feeling particularly masochistic.

>>454454

I got a bonsai pine tree once for my birthday, but it didn't go all that well. It eventually just died.

>>454454
>>454455
Every bonsai tree I have ever seen has actually just been a branch from a bush. They're meant to look like fascinating miniature trees, but they're always so disappointing that I can't see the appeal.

This country is a giant fucking shithole, filled with cretins.

>>454459
Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.

>>454459
Oh look, the Bonsai Tree Internet Defence Force has arrived, here to shill for Big Bonsai AKA Tree once again.

I miss the days of lockdown when people threw way more parties and enjoyed cheap supermarket booze. My bank balance is dwindling and I'm spending too much even if I engage in a bit of heavy pre-drinking before going out.

Regards,
Master of frugalism

I kind of stopped drinking altogether during lockdown. I've always been more a social drinker, never really saw the point of getting drunk at home by myself. Especially not during the pandemic.

>>454459
You're not wrong. You can't say it, but yeah, sometimes I can't escape that feeling either. I often think about this story David Sedaris told on Adam Buxton's podcast about a 12 year old calling him a prick for picking up litter, and the lad's dad not giving a shit. I know it's a weird thing to focus on, but it's stuck with me as a very English (derogatory) incident.

>>454464
David Sedaris is undeniably a prick though.

>>454465
He might well agree. Regardless I don't think that lad was offering literary criticism of his most recent New Yorker piece.

Since when does leek give you gas?

I had some chicken breast with rice and steamed leek tonight (they were 50p per stalk at Asda today, so why not), and I'm here tooting like I had chili con carne.

>>454467
Anything in the onion family can do that thanks to being rich in sulphur.

>>454466
Don't be so classist.

Putting Lemsip in fizzy water doesn't make Lemsipade. It's crunchy like sand and I can taste the chemicals, this is awful.

>>454473
You want effervescents.

>>454474
Not after paying through the nose for lemsip in the first place mate, eff that vescent.

Amy Lee is a looker but I don't see how early 2000's nu metal will help.

I called in sick for work. I've heard for years on the internet that a top tip is to hang your head off the end of your bed/sofa so it's upside down which is supposed to make you sound much sicker.

It had the intended effect, in that it caused an actual, legitimate coughing fit while on the phone. My through fucking kills now.

Just so we're clear of how much of an idiot I am - it's not like I was calling my boss or anything, I don't have one. I was just calling to let them know I'd not be in. I had no reason to fake an illness, and definitely no reason to sound convincing while doing so. I just felt like trying it, and felt like lying to someone who really doesn't care why I'm off. I might be becoming bored of my job.

>>454485

You've learned that it works for when it might be useful.

>>454486

Aside from the coughing fit I definitely sounded blocked up and raspy. It's also harder to think when upside down, which is probably conveyed nicely in a conversation with someone who knows you.

Would recommend, just don't cough.

Why is lemsip so expensive?

>>454489

Because if people are anything like my mum, they buy one box and take four years to go through it.

>>454489
You're paying for the colourful branding and marketing. Look for near identical own brand alternatives.

Would I get in trouble with the law if I do not call for emergency services when some random person gets hurt badly?

>>454496
I have no idea, but why would you not do that regardless of the legal consequences?

>>454497
I really didn't care to be honest. She got hit by a car badly, and the car drove off. Now I am wondering if I will get in trouble. I am sure someone helped her at some point, but it was quiet and the middle of nowhere.

>>454498
You seem like a very unpleasant and immoral person. Please do try to do the bare minimum the next time something important is happening around you.

>>454499
Thanks - will do.

>>454498
Whose car?

>>454501
No idea. It mounted the curb and hit her some 15 yards ahead of me.

>>454502

And where were you? Watching out of your bedroom window? In the car behind?

I'm pretty sure it's in the highway code that you are obligated to stop and assist if you witness a road accident, but I can't imagine how they enforce that. If you were the one involved in the accident you'd definitely be in trouble.

Karma will get you for this though, don't you worry.

>>454503
What is your problem? Similar thing happened to me ages ago while cycling, and everyone just drove around me. I'm sure not everyone stops to help.

It wasn't my car, it was an aggressive moron who took a turn while speeding, mounted the curb and hit a lady. I was on foot behind her 15 or 20 yards back.

I don't care for the ethical nature of the question, I am only wondering if I can get in some legal trouble by not helping and just walking past her.

>>454504

Not him, but it's pretty obvious what his problem is. Ethics aside you're thick as fuck if you don't understand why people might have an issue.

>>454504
You might be a sociopath lad.

>>454504

What do yoi mean what is my problem, I wasn't at all rude or judgemental.

Are you assuming I'm the other lad who saod you were a bad person?

>>454507
The threats about karma and all that nonsense. I Googled, and it seems I won't be in trouble. but I wasn't too sure.

Sometimes people just don't want to bother with it all. Stop making it seem like I kill babies.

>>454505
>>454506
I definitely wouldn't help you two if you got stabbed on a night out.

>>454509

I don't think you'd be this invested if you didn't feel some semblance of guilt.

Saw a woman with really big boobs in a wet top because of the rain today. I love women so much.

Wake up babe, new Georg just dropped.

Sarah Millican is on the new series of Taskmaster. I hope there are plenty of tasks that involve bouncing and jiggling.

Fat Stewart Lee, as acknowledged in his new iPlayer show Tornado, looks exactly like fat Jim Davidson. He doesn't acknowledge that but it's true.

I started crying because I love Rocco Botte so much just now.

>>454567

Fuck, now he's going to take twice as long to get to the joke because of his COPD. I can't wait 40 minutes.

There's a play on Radio 4 which is actually quite funny. Most unexpected.

>>454567
Stewart Lee and Jim Davidson are the same person.
