Well, so he has been told. :)
It is a wise father that knows his own child — as Shakespeare noted.

Unlikely to apply to me though, as one old reactionary Baptist buffer remarked a couple of years ago, my brood carry my mark of Cain...

Shot changed, hmm.

Seed depletion as we get older is something some among us have to get used to. Not all though — Robert De Niro is nearly 80 and has just fathered a child...

Well, not short changed as such, but I bought a packet of pumpkin seeds and while it said 25 on the label, there were only 22.


It also said an average of 25 seeds so the supplied was within his rights. Plus,no big thing because half of them never come up anyway and the rest are eaten by the slugs and I don't like pumpkin anyway, except that they look cheery in the autumn garden. Still, I am used to finding an extra three or four seeds, not being three short.
