Giant sunflower and the police

[Feral007]

lol - when I was share flatting in Sydney in my youth I was reclaiming a garden bed. Had a lot of lovely flowers in it and up came a.............sativa! I laughed to one of the guys I was sharing with and he said 'Oh that's a tomato plant.' Yeah right - my father grew a lot of tomatoes and none of them looked like that! Turns out the tenants before us had had a little greenhouse operation going. Talk about self seeding. Permaculture at it's most unlawful

It sounds like a bizarre occurance indeed, but I must take issue with your absurd generalisation that the Midlands Police are all idiots. Now that really IS ludicrous.

Mine are seeds I saved from my Mongolian giant plant from last year that grew at least 10ft. Mine had started budding about 3 weeks ago but I am hoping with this good weather on the way they will get even bigger. I will have to be careful mind as the boys in blue may converscate it from me lol :-)

Well if the seed harvest is good this year wouldn't mind getting a hold of some in a swap =p. Seems like they would have come from really good stock!

Sorry if I offended anyone. I should perhaps refraze that and say most police officers I HAVE CAME ACROSS/delt with we're waste of time. Just my opinion . Once again. Sorry if I offended.

Although I second Two Sheds in saying that it't the CPS which handle prosecutions, not the police, I'm pretty sure I knew what a sunflower looked like from a very early age!

Having said that, on a horsey forum I frequent, one lady had somebody ask her what kind of animals her ponies were. When she replied 'ponies', they thought she'd said 'Pennies' and went away talking about the wonderful 'Pennies' to her young companion. I've also been asked at what age my 'foal' (pony!) will grow up to be a horse.

These people are stealing our oxygen. Now that IS criminal!

pity it wasnt a sweetcorn,then you could have threatened him with the jolly green giant for being a jolly big turnip... and i know what they are like ,i was born in the area and went back there for 10 years,now in scotland,you work it out..

I am sure the fella's colleagues (not lady friends ) were winding him up . The police have a hard enough job to do especially when the courts, CPS and the government only seem to give them support when they are up sh!t creek......think riots and G4S fiasco .

I actually find this thread quite distasteful.

As I stated earlier, I didn't mean to Offend anyone. However we are all entitled to our opinion. No upset intended, I just thought it was very strange myself.

Sounds to me like a wind up of a very gullible young copper.
