A conspiracy of plots?

In a comment on an earlier post, my good Antipodean friend Nick Galvin has alerted me to the fact that I have competition in the Plot 28 world. An alternative flagrant claim to the Plot 28 brand can be found at www.dougmartin.co.uk You may want to pay a visit to the competition, but I wouldn't advise it; I've been and it's about as interesting as watching your borlotti beans grow. (Sorry Doug).

There are dark forces at work here, because a Blospot site of the same name used to exist, but like an overgrown and forgotten allotment, has long since been abandoned. Perhaps this was just Doug up to his old tricks again, but could it have been another conspirator who is still out there harbouring delusions of a claim to my birthright?

If that wasn't enough to convince you of the existence of an unsettling underground movement, there is an even more shocking piece of evidence. Go to www.plot28.com and you'll discover that someone has ill-advisedly made a bad Spanish movie of the same name. The film's themes? Unnerving coincidences, subterfuge and illegal claims to the property of others. Spooky, eh?

  1. Crikey! And folk think that allotments are boring! Hard to credit really.
    Taking a leaf out of your "Enjoying this week" column and settling down to a large bowl of pasta with cherry tomatoes washed down with gin. Important safety tip: do not confuse your pasta recipes with compost recipes after too much gin.
