All in the name


Remember when buildings used to be covered with ivy, but then people were told to tear them all off because they destroyed the brickwork and acted as a highway for vermin?  Silly Outer Party members!  Just call them "vertical gardens" and you'll have the benedictions of the priests of Blessed Gaia

    A: The errors of both are covered with vegetation.

    I'd call that an (unintentionally) good thing from the greenies. I was doing the student thing back when ivy was declared ungood, and thought the buildings looked naked when they tore the stuff down.

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
