zotzThat was a misprint. What, of course, it should have said is "Thrips in the new growth room". Clear as mud, eh? Somebody hasn't been following procedure, and now there's been a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrip">thrips outbreak. It's all fun until someone gets hurt . . .
Also, many thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sclerotic_rings for pointing to this demonstration of why the seventies had to be abolished. Personally I'm going to avoid it, because I remember the seventies and have better things to do that achieve the sick realisation that the livingroom wallpaper we had in 1976 has been immortalised in print. There used to be a saying that the seventies were the decade that taste forgot, and having been there I can tell you that it's true. The eighties and nineties had their fashion disasters, but the seventies managed to be searingly ugly without apparently even being fun for those taking part. Truly the worst of both worlds.
