That's my local high street, which isn't hugely surprising.

thirst trap your hare (DJ Mencap), Sunday, 8 October 2017 12:40 (eight years ago)

not traditional real england fodder but i'm still haunted by this story from time to time.

In his suicide note, Mr McRae wrote: "I believe I was not an evil man until the balance of my mind was disturbed by the fact that there is a patch of Japanese knotweed which has been growing over our boundary fence on the Rowley Regis Golf Course.

It's like something out of one of Roald Dahl's uncanny stories. I keep thinking about the time he first spotted the knotweed, crouching down to get a better look and tugging at it in an initially puzzled fashion.

why go into all that when you're going to off yourself anyway though?

You can spray, or inject, herbicides into its stem, but this takes six months so you'll have to be patient. And rich, too - this can cost Β£1,500 for just a small patch of the weed
It has really a wide-ranging root system, which can extend up to 3m in depth and 7m in all directions. These can pose a serious threat to construction works and have devastating consequences to building foundations and drains.
If you are found to be failing to stop the spread of the plant, you can be issued with an Antisocial Behaviour Order - yes, an ASBO. Under these orders, you could be fined up to Β£2,500.

Japanese Knotweed doesn't fuck about!

calzino, Sunday, 8 October 2017 22:45 (eight years ago)

true but that said i'm p sure there is not one documented case of it actually wrecking a foundation

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 8 October 2017 22:57 (eight years ago)

When people are charging Β£1500 to kill a small patch of weed, it is probably a handy myth. If I'd have got obsessed with it I would have just dug like fuck with a pickax + shovel until every last root was gone. I don't really buy this guy's suicide note and explanation for murder.

calzino, Sunday, 8 October 2017 23:10 (eight years ago)

jesus that's some awful story, it's the perfume bottle detail that gives it a proper Real England tragic flavour.

I choose to believe the note because of the unbearably sad notion of the ever-growing weed as metaphor for it growing over his brain, smothering his him. Last drop 'Falling down' style.

Also, lol Estela.

"Jane and I were a very private couple, we chose to have no real friends, just enjoying each other.
"But the despair has got so bad that I have killed her, as I did not want her to be alone without income when I killed myself."

Sigh, one of these fucking guys

killing your wife because of your impending japanese-knotweed-related suicide: insecure or thoughtful?

pressed veal is the archeological find here imo

mark s, Monday, 9 October 2017 10:50 (eight years ago)

from cooks.com:

PRESSED VEAL

2 lbs. veal
1 lb. pork (fresh lean)

or

3 lbs veal
2 lbs pork

Do not chop. Put on to boil and cover with water; boil until only 1 cup of liquid remains.

Pull apart with a fork and pack into a small bread tin. Season with salt and pepper and onion juice, if desired.

Cover with oil paper and press with a flat iron.

This is a very old recipe passed down from Minnesota relatives.

i sometimes make a terrine which is a fancier version of this but i never use veal as nowhere sells it any longer

mark s, Monday, 9 October 2017 10:57 (eight years ago)

Waitrose sells veal.

kim jong deal (suzy), Monday, 9 October 2017 11:23 (eight years ago)

What is 'onion juice'? I can make an educated guess, but suspect I'll be wrong.

Dan Worsley, Monday, 9 October 2017 11:24 (eight years ago)

if you put an onion or five through a blender and then press the resulting paste through a fine sieve then i suspect that is what we are after

quite. still laughing at Tracer Hand's emoji story here.

Fizzles, Monday, 9 October 2017 21:15 (eight years ago)

the ritual declaration of the house price reminds me a bit of medieval deathbot's ritual declaration of the weapon price

A stranger, killed in 1363 by Henry Gibel, who did strike him in the body with a knife. The knife was worth one penny.

mark s, Monday, 9 October 2017 21:24 (eight years ago)

that valuation might be a little optimistic what with the knotweed and the murder-suicide

plp will eat itself (NickB), Monday, 9 October 2017 21:32 (eight years ago)

imagine the indignity of getting killed by a very heavy sheaf of wheat back then.
