Triffids,
I never thought of that one as an excuse, I wonder if it would work for me

. Mind you they would not last long up here, as it has been showery/ pi--ing down for about 4 weeks now.

Cheers

A.M.

Trouble is, Triffids are like Darleks. Their big downfall is when mankind goes upstairs.

How do they follow??

You guys eh! from Stella activity to giant plants and Doctor Who, tangent anyone? No doubt the Stella comment will twist this into some lager fuelled piss take
