Correct.
Bamboo is wonderful stuff, used as scaffolding in many Eastern countries as it's tensile strength is greater than steel.
It has over 5,000 uses including desalination, fuel, snorkel, making canes for school teachers, growing runner beans.
It grows very fast, some species up to 4 ft a day hence it's use in torture (under the fingernails, rooms full of the stuff etc.)
You can see it grow.
Some only flower after 120 years of growth.
No siren, but wrong and too late.
I want to start a bamboo grove like you wouldn't believe but worry it'd get away from me so I've got to wait till I move back out into the country. It seems much less satisfying growing it in containers.
And speaking of bamboo, how many Edison's does it take to change a light bulb?
Right.
We've got a couple of groves of it between here and the New Town.
it's grown to make cane furniture.
Terrific.
none? he didn't invent them?
He didn't, but he patented and made them.
Yes, he did.
Have a nice time. hmmmmm.
Hi, Gillian, got time wrong.
Lesson in an hour and a quarter.
...he was afraid of heights so wouldn't go up the ladder to change the bulb when it went
In that case we have some to for a chat.
hi miss gillian! how are you today, sandstorms passed yet?
Ermmm, it was a mental condition though....he was afraid of heights so wouldn't go up the ladder to change the bulb when it went
Indeed we do, my friend.
