Saw a big row of carved pumpkins on a balcony the other day opposite a bus stop. Some students had carved the letters “BUS WANKERS” into them, one letter per pumpkin! (It’s next to the Tesco-that-never-was in Stokes Croft, Bristol).

i just read this..
A man has lost his foot after his leg became stuck in a machine used to de-seed pumpkins.
The 28-year-old was airlifted to hospital after the incident in Binderton, near Chichester, West Sussex, but was not thought to have suffered life-threatening injuries.
Friend Simon Sprackling said: “He is alive, but he’s lost his foot.”
Mr Sprackling said he had been trained how to use the machine but believed he had gone behind it and slipped.
A West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said firefighters used a variety of small tools to dismantle the machine while the man was tended to by medics.
A specialist technical rescue unit was sent to the incident just before 11am yesterday and spent nearly two hours extricating the man.
The spokeswoman added: “The machine is thought to be the only one of its kind in the country.
“It was certainly a very unusual call-out.”
