9pm and it's like mid afternoon, long shadows aside, this far North.

 

Slug bait?

 

Yep. They’re thirstier than George Best Fall in and they drown happily

picture from internet below, but shows potential

 

It's funny how different peoples experiences are.
We had a fair bit of cover round the veg plot by chance and a fairly wild garden generally with some big trees and thick hedges and even a bramble patch as well as lawn. After a couple of years instead of slugs we had frogs. No idea where they came from but one winter I accidentally uncovered a hibernating mound of them the size of a football! Between them and thrushes and hedgehogs they ate everything that tried to eat the veg except frikkin collar doves that scragged anything that looked tender. To be fair the birds probably had half the fruit too but it was nice not really doing anything to protect anything.

 

Yep, the food chain in the garden.

Thrushes eat snails and slugs and there are a few thrushes about, just not enough. Slugs can ruin all your hard work

beer it better than pellets for all

 

One I found, from around 1998.

 

It's lovely when a random plant pops up



I'm guessing it's a foxglove

 

Wow..
You have been chosen to be saved....

Sign up quick..

 

Quick runaway, they'll be round yours shortly to give you a good talking to on your doorstep

Don't, whatever you do, invite them in

 

Ask them a meaningful question......like what oil should I use...or.....should I get a 123 etc

 

My ex had some kind of JW relations. When we had our first nipper she spotted them coming up the drive, ran upstairs and hid.

I had to answer the door, I had no idea who they were, no warning. They just stood there smiling with a copy of a JW magazine that had a nativity picture on the front. Eventually, pointing at the picture the woman said...

"We heard you have a new baby"

"Yes?"

"Jesus was a baby."

So I said " That's nice" smiled back and closed the door.

I only found out who they were later.

 

Meaningful questions like "what should I do when Microsoft Word highlights areas of text with a blue wavy line or a red wavy line"?

 

That genuinely made me laugh out loud. Oh for a doorbell cam then to see their faces

 

I shared a house with my cousin in the early 90s. He used to get mid week days off when we were all working. He’d get bored. One day after a particularly large intake of herbal remedy he gets a knock at the door. It’s the god botherers. Being under the influence and with nothing better to do he invites them in for a coffee.

weeks, it took weeks for them to finally stop coming round. Trying to save him. At one point I thought we might have to move. They are like a pit bull when they lock on.

I couldn’t understand why they kept knocking on our door. Eventually he remembered he’d invited them in.

 

Yes, fair point, they're not probably allowed to go door knocking at the moment, bit of a shame really, it's quite good sport, as you say, if you have the time

 

Just answer the door wearing a burqa. Sorted

 

I had a friend who was a house-husband. He invited them in every time. He bought himself a Bible and politely argued with them whatever they claimed the Bible said/meant. He looked forward to it for the intellectual stimulus (stuck at home with rug rats). They kept it up once a week for over a year hoping to convert him and he was disappointed when they gave up.
