My name is simply paying homage to one of my heroes.....homer simpson.whilst the recent simpsons movie wasn't the best, the bits with the pet pig are priceless.For those who haven't seen it........the following is sung to the theme tune of the cartoon spiderman....
"spiderpig,spiderpig,does whatever a spiderpig can,
can he spin,from a web?
No he can't, he's a pig!"

[Protea]

Cool thread Wellie, only just found it though!

Protea is a genus of flower found predominantly in South Africa. My Avatar is the King Protea which is my favorite of all the Proteas and is the national flower of South Africa. It is pronounced Pro-tee-a (lots of people mis-pronounce it pro-tea)

The reason i chose it is not becaue i'm South African, but because i worked out there for a while in the wilds of the Northern Province on a game and cattle farm working for a horseback safari/riding holiday business. I totally fell in love with South Africa and would love to live there. I even had Protea's in my bouquet and table flowers when i got married 18 months ago!

I'm growing a wide variety of Proteas, leucadendrons (the foliage ones) and one or two leucospermums (the pin cusion Proteas) from seed, i've got 2 massive tray fulls of 1 year old seedlings attempting to overwinter in my draughty greenhouse, fingers crossed!

I tend to use it on other fora too (not all gardening related) but increasingly its already been taken!

that was a bit long and rambling, i apologise!

[The Kottager]

The Kottager as my surname is Kott and its one of the strange things ive been called by some of my "friends"

Great thread

[bobleponge]

I have to say I was slightly concerned at your nickame Kottager but you have truly put my mind at rest

[Two_Sheds]

When I got my plot I'd go round to chat to the other plotholders, and they'd ask where I was, and I'd say that plot on the corner, the one with two sheds ... though one fell down so now I've only got the one (sssshhhhhh!)

[purrfik]

Mine's a take Pa Larkin's oft quoted 'perfick' on the TV programme 'Darling Buds of May'...........There was a re-run playing on the TV while I was unsuccessfully trying to find a username that hadn't already been taken and since then it's stuck with me
