stoli Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Sometimes you just get pleasure out of growing your own food. Believe it or not, I grow Thai chilis on my condo balcony. There cannot be a cheaper, more plentiful product, to buy at any store. You have to be crazy to grow them for yourself, and I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAMHERE Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 The Frenchman figures the bananas are his. Maybe he is wrong. He can not own land in Thailand and so he cannot own trees in Thailand that are growing in the land. The bananas are Thai bananas not French bananas. He is barking up the wrong tree thinking those are his bananas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onni4me Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 he was just about to savour the golden phallic fruit of his desire That made me almost puke thinking about...er...the French with their bananas... Anyway, banana is not a fruit as such. Closest plant in the same family would be basil. And it's not a tree, more of a grass plant. Very big one. Just wondering how much he is going to pay for his CCTV set? Does he have any common sense, at all? I suggest he could buy a dog. I have one and no-one is willing to come near it or the bananas...
