stick.&lt;br&gt;I carried a rolled up umbrella all sumer rather than admit I needed a stick, I live on the sunshine coast of essex where it never rains,  so I did get a few remarkes about it. (exspecting rain ? here comes mary poppins ect) but I let it go over my head. I was adamant that I was too young for a stick.&lt;br&gt;Then I remember'd grandads walking stick,or is it great grandads. My dad always refererd to it as grandads walking stick so perhaps it was his grandads. Three years ago when my dad died I found it verry hard as I supose most people do, but one of the few things I could bring myself to keep was grandads stick. It had been in dads shed all my life and i am aproaching 60, I took it home and put it in my shed assuming that is where it would stay untill one of my kids took it and put it in her shed.&lt;br&gt;  This is no ordenary stick it is a thin, I think rosewood cane with a silver band on whitch is embosed a shotgun and a brace of phesants toped with a carving in bone or ivory of a dogs head snarling.(I will try to upload a picture to my media)&lt;br&gt;Since I have been using the stick I quite often get the feeling I dont actualy need it now,but i never leave the house without it, even just walking to the car parked on the drive I take the stick.&lt;br&gt;It has become like a third legg even though I have two perfectly good ones. It does not make me feel old like the rolled up umbrela did it makes me feel,,,I think the word that sums it up is dapper and I walk twice as far and fast with the stick. Its all a bit confusing, hey ho

&lt;span&gt;He finally got his cactus home.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Planted it in his backyard, and over time it grew to about 2 metres.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;One evening while watering his garden after a warm spring day, he gave the cactus a light spray.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He was amazed to see the plant shiver all over, he gave it another spray and it shivered again.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span&gt;He was puzzled so he rang the council who put him on to the state gardens people. After a few transfers he got the state's foremost cactus expert who asked him many questions.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;How tall is it?&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Has it flowered? Etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Finally he asked the most disturbing question. "Is your family in the house?" The bloke answered yes.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The cactus expert said get out of the house NOW, get on to the front nature strip and wait for me; I will be there in 20 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Fifteen minutes later, 2 fire trucks, 2 police cars and an ambulance came screaming around the corner.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;A fireman got out and asked "Are you the bloke with the cactus?" I am, he said.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;A guy jumped out of the fire truck wearing what looked like a space suit, a breathing cylinder and mask attached to what looked like a scuba backpack with a large hose attached. He headed for the backyard and turned a flame-thrower on the cactus spraying it up and down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;After a few minutes the flame-thrower man stopped, the cactus stood smoking and spitting, half the fence was burnt and parts of the gardens were well and truly scorched.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Just then the cactus expert appeared and laid a calming hand on the bloke's shoulder. "What the hell's going on?" he says. "Let me show you" says the cactus man.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He went over to the cactus and picked away a crusty bit, the cactus was almost entirely hollow and filled with tiger striped bird-eating tarantula spiders, each about the size of two hand spans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;The story was that this type of spider lays eggs in this type of cactus and they hatch and live in it as they grow to full size.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;When full size they release themselves.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The cactus just explodes and about 150 dinner plate sized hairy spiders are flung from it, dispersing everywhere.

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Its got onions and Garlic,&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;br&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Although it fascinating to watch,&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You must flush it strait away,&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I watched for too long once,&lt;/p&gt;
