Re: Seats reserved exclusively for men in the House of Lords

Religion in politics is dangerous. Just look at the woman who died in Ireland after being refused an abortion when she was miscarrying because the catholic church have power in deciding the laws of the country and they conciser abortion of a bundle of cells as murder which you will go to hell for.

Re: suspected fungus on sweet potatoes

But the leaves are still turning yellow and wilting, see picture. My husband thinks thats just what they do, or maybe they don't hav...

He's missed a trick there. You'd have thought he'd have launched it before the book came out.

Thank you for that link! I just bought the book, total impulse buy but it was only a fiver :lol:

What? I don't understand that.

I have heard about this though. Seats shouldn't be reserved for any religious leaders. Religion shouldn't be involved in politics.

Re: Growing garlic as a perennial

I didn't think they were going to form proper bulbs any time soon, but if i leave them till next harvest and keep them weeded this time they should form into proper garlic bulbs then?

Re: weight loss 2013

I think the research so far seems promising. I made cookies just now, but i halved the recipe ( didn't have enough sugar ) so i didn't make as many, but i still ate 4 of them. Will be fasting tomorrow :lol: The fasting thing is not strictly fasting. You are still allowed 500 calories, or 600 for men...

Re: weight loss 2013

I'd be interested to read any study's done on humans. Im debating wither or not to make some cookies. I don't think i'v got enough sugar though. Probably best to give it a miss.
