In #ScienceFiction there was The Day of the #Triffids by #JohnWyndham. One character was #Coker , a nasty chap whose pre-disaster occupation had been speaking to order.
"Subject no object" was his pitch, he would argue or rouse the popn for anything, if paid.
#Farage has already been very expensive for very nearly all of us.

I always imagined this was about the Nullarbor… i only travelled that road once by bus. It was long. I’m sure Ive posted this for a previous JFN … some songs have it all.

@bananabob Triffids stole all the glory. There was a tv series and radio drama. #Triffids
This Is My GlasgowGiven the sign on the right, I'm not surprised this pathway in the Glasgow Botanic Gardens is currently closed!

ideogramIf you live in #Hackney and *really* like either #TheSmiths, #Blur, #TheCranberries, #KaiserChiefs, #Babyshambles, #Courteeners, #StephenDuffy, The mighty lemon drops, #Triffids, #Pretenders, #Sleeper, #Suede, #NewOrder or #TheZutons then you should email your councillors to have a highway named Stephen Street Street after the producer of the above acts.
It would both recognise an artist who was born in Hackney according to Wikipedia, as well as obviously being funny, and also increase tourism

We Are GlaikitHave you ever wondered where John Wyndham got the idea for the eponymous human-munching abulatory plants in his classic 1950s sci-fi novel The Day of the Triffids? If so, this plaque in Glasgow's Botanic Gardens provides an answer. Admittedly, it's nowhere near the true one!
It seems there's an entire history of Glasgow which no one never knew existed until someone starts putting up plaques about it. And once there are plaques, it must be real, right? This one is by the abandoned railway station in the city's Botanic Gardens, and there are about a dozen similar Glaikit plaques in all at various points around the city.
