Pacing the room, twiddling your thumbs and crushing pint glasses to dust with your bare hands as you wait for the new series of Top Gear (which may or may definitely not start on June 21) on BBC Two? Then why not head down to Chelsea Flower Show?
No. Stop laughing. Listen. See, the Chelsea Flower Show is great. Really, it is. It’s got… er, flowers. And herbaceous borders. And probably a number of shrubs, The Mole dares speculate.
And, more important, a Plasticine garden designed by James May. You read correctly. With the help of artists at Aardman Studios – the fellas behind Wallace and Gromit – and a rabble of school children and war veterans, Captain Slow (or should that be Captain Grow? Captain Play-Doh? Insert your suggestions below) has created a completely synthetic garden, the first to ever appear at the prestigious/pretentious/pointless botanical festival.
More than two-and-a-half tonnes of Plasticine were used to build the rubbery oasis, which missed out on an official show award but was – out of sympathy, seemingly – decorated with a Plasticine gold medal by the show judges.
“People have said it is a bit camp and a bit vulgar but I cannot do much about that. It’s modelled out of Plasticine,” James told an eager gaggle of elegantly-hatted journalists at the show. “It has been great fun and we can still go for the people’s vote.”
The Chelsea Flower Show opens to the unwashed public on Wednesday May 20. If you’re really keen to attend – or want to win a Chevrolet Aveo (well, if you’re going to have one, it needs to be free…) – head over to the Gardeners’ World site for more details. They’ve got blogs on it and everything.
What do you mean you’re busy pruning your hardy perennial?

Whatever happened to morph… or is he just someone recognised by people of Katie Hopkins’ generation (and their parents?)?

Hey! Surely Mask was the Saturday morning “car’s the star” cartoon show of choice?! DeLorean Back-to-The-Future-seagul l-wing-style-doors but fitted with Airwolf-style jet engines?!!
Everyone was “in there” in the 1980s with the technology that you might now see in a Toyota Prius if Gallileo-satellite-enable d drive-by-wire were available: K.I.T.T., Automan’s digital car, Street Hawk, Transformers… so why would Top Gear hold back from delivering those 1980s TV dreams in the twenty-first century?
If Top Gear can turn a Reliant Robin into a NASA Space Shuttle, and if it can attempt to build James Bond’s amphibious car from “The Spy Who Loved Me”, why not step out of the 1970s and start delivering 1980s dreams? Build a flying DeLorean (*if* a De Lorean can be found and taken past 88 miles an hour before it’s used to claim a scrappage discount on a 21st century “moata”)?!
Oh! and I get the Tony *Hart* thing (he was fantastic!), but Morph and cars? At least Wallace and Gromit are the kind of inventive duo that Q branch, or Caractacus Potts, would love.
By contrast, Morph and Herne hang out with Friends of the Earth. Oh… hold on! May*flower*! Greentech cars! Plug-ins. Hybrids. Bio-fuel: “flower power”! Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, pink diesel and Energy Independence. Chelsea Flower Show… see where you’re going now.
Wonder how Gene Hunt (an Algarve pensioner by now?) would feel about scrapping his Quattro to get a discount on a GM Volt?

a modelling clay garden? I suppose it’s the logical step if you’ve spent more than one series getting hammered with Oz Clarke.

You might just be right: plasticine and wine parties – a whole new craze!
P.S. What are the odds of Chelsea Clinton showing up at the Chelsea Flower Show wearing the latest Chelsea Football Club kit?

What’s up ya’ll?
My name is Billy, I just wanted to introduce myself since I am new to this site…
I am a newbie to the internet but I am learning alot real fast!
I’m a Hair-sample Matcher and devoted father.
The things I enjoy most in life are family, friends and nascar.
On week days you’ll usually find me riding my bike. On the weekends I like to party and watch nascar.
My idea of the perfect day would start with a morning jog. And then I’d go to the park. Later I’d eat a great dinner from Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. And I’d top it all off by snuggling with my GF.
I also love snoop videos.
Anyways it’s good to be a part of your site!
Thanks

Payday lending is really a type of credit where the borrower provides the creditor authorisation to make a computerized withdrawal
from their bank account. This really is used as security for a short-term loan to be repaid, an average of, on the next payday.
Payday lending in the UK
Payday advances are a recognised type of lending in the united states and they have now been growing fast in the united kingdom market on the
last five years simply because they give you a relatively small amount of cash (usually around £500) for a quick term, around 14 days
(or until ‘payday’). The providers charge a payment for the loan usually expressed as a flat fee per £100 borrowed – usually
around £25.
Payday loans are actually a rapidly growing industry in the United Kingdom, with four times as many people utilizing the loans
last year compared to 2006. In 2009, 1 . 2 million people took out £4. 1 million in loans, with total lending amounting to
£1. 2 billion (1).
http://www.payday-loans-s ince-1997.co.uk
In britain, payday loan borrowers take out on average 3. 5 loans per year and the typical size of a payday loan in ’09
was an estimated £294 (1). You will find no restrictions on the interest rates cash advance companies can charge, but they
are needed legally to mention the effective annual percentage rate (APR).
Lately the marketplace for pay day loans has growth rapidly, especially with online financial institutions. Research by the
Office for Fair Trading (OFT) suggests the demand for payday loans could rise steeply as time goes on (2). Using the figures
using this research, IRN Research predicts how many borrowers might rise by 40-45 %
in the coming years (3).
