It is now the time to start buying seeds for the new growing season.
I bought a packet of broad beans with the instruction 'store in a cool place' on the packet. I of course assumed it meant somewhere like the rear window shelf of a flashy car or suchlike to impress my friends with my packet of broad beans.
Any ideas for a cool place to store them?

While we're on the subject, does anyone know how to measure coolness these days? The Andy Williams/ Arthur Fonzarelli scale seems a little outdated now. Suggestions for the new extremes of coolness would be welcomed. Daniel O'Donnell/Samuel l. Jackson might be a good benchmark....

Obviously being cool is cool but wanting to be cool isn't cool because the very act of wanting to be cool is an admission that you aren't cool but are, nevertheless, eaten up the desire to be cool...

You can't rename the scale, it's the standard. Parcel shelf of your car would only rate at 1.5 Fonzarellis though I'm afraid.

Or if you're getting serious, you could build yourself a seed repository in the arctic circle, keeping up with the Norwegians (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4605398.stm)

...if you're getting serious...

Ah, but the youngsters of today have no concept on how uncool Andy Williams was, even though today he might be considered quite cool in a retro kinda way. The Fonz on the other hand is now associated with a crappy French car, so that is un-cool.

And as for getting serious:- As if.....
