Sounds like a form of rurally grown cannabis.

Like Motown Gold perhaps?

Can anyone explain the difference between surreal and absurd please?
My pet raccoon is writing a book of surreal haiku and doesn’t want any absurd limericks to sneak in.

If absurd then you will wait endlessly for a mysterious figure named Godot who never arrives. If surreal then whilst you wait you will see melting clocks in a desolate landscape, defying the laws of physics and creating a dreamlike, illogical scene.

We can’t be sure, Chris Rea has been dispatched to the near future to see how daft it will become :okay:

Shropshire Blue is a relatively recent invention

Despite no supporting evidence, I am convinced that Shropshire Blue is an invention by cheese makers to make Stilton outside the area defined in the 1966 trademark ruling.

I suspect it is in the context and presentation-
Real Madrid - 2
FC Barcelona - fish
would be illogical, and absurd.

Come to think of it, where does bizarre fit in, I don’t want Sheldon, my raccoon,* posting his manuscript off only to have it rejected by the publisher because a bizarre sonnet has wormed its way in. I hate to see a grown raccoon cry.

* Although he is very much his own raccoon, he likes to spend the nights on my bed.
