hoges Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Can anyone tell me why YEW has been titled the potato admirer... am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 potatoes rock!! I think it's to do with some Douglas Adams book or something, I've only read "The guide" & the first Dirk Gentley book so I'm unsure the total significance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeyBoyR Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Why WOULDNT you admire potatos? What CAN'T they do? HMM?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViS Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 It's his forum (even though he probably says it isn't anymore), so he can have whatever title he wants Plus, he really likes to look at potatoes And the dirt that's on them probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 What's not to admire about such a lovely starchy tuber . I do indeed admire the soil that covers potatoes - did everyone know that in 1 gram of soil there is 100, 000, 000 living cells, representing between 5000-1000 species of bacteria, fungi, archaea, protozoa and other critters? That's 1 gram! The more you think about it the more astounding it becomes!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Yew, if you love soil so much then why aren't you a "Soil Admirer"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeyBoyR Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Because "soil admirer" sounds far more dodgy and deviate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 G'day So Yew is trying to obtain some respectability by falsely claiming to be a potato admirer, when in fact he is a DIRT admirer. This methinks is using dirty tactics Good to see you back!!! (Even if you are a little dirty atm ) CYA at the auction. PS So what is the real story, come on give us the dirt !

YeW Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Hi All - I admire soil as well . Don't make me choose! Havent been online that much guys - soil, roots, fungi etc are keeping me very busy. Looking forward to an unmicrobiological weekend :D! Though manning the "hotdog" stall can be a microbiological experience (joking!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiona Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 There are some wonderful varieties of potato too. Big ones, small ones, knobbly, smooth, white, golden, red, purple, black ... sweet tasting, nutty tasting, crunchy, floury, so many kinds. Potatoes are a terrific tuber.
