Synopsis

What is the best way to kill weeds in paving? How scared should we really be of Japanese knotweed? And what is a weed anyway?

Biologist Ken Thompson set out to write a different kind of gardening column, one that tackles what he calls 'the grit in the gardening oyster'. In this new collection he takes a look at some of the questions faced by gardeners everywhere in a bid to sort the truth from the wishful thinking.

Why are the beaks of British great tits getting longer? Which common garden insect owns a set of metal-tipped running spikes? Why might growing orange petunias land you in hot water? Are foxes getting bigger? How do you stop the needles falling off your Christmas tree?

This expert's miscellany of (mostly) scientifically-tested garden lore will make you look at your garden through fresh eyes.

    BLADE RUNNER 2049 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY DENIS VILLENEUVE 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Blade Runner 2049 is a neo-noir science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve, set 30 years after the events of the original Blade Runner (1982). The story follows K, a replicant blade runner played by Ryan Gosling, who uncovers a long-buried secret that could alter the balance between humans and replicants. As he investigates, K grapples with his own identity and purpose in a world where artificial beings struggle for autonomy. The film explores themes of humanity, memory, and artificial intelligence, set against a dystopian backdrop of environmental decay and corporate control, all while examining the complexities of existence. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    "Director Denis Villeneuve's first choice for the role of Niander Wallace was David Bowie, but sadly, he passed away before filming began." 
      
    "The opening scene where 'K' (Ryan Gosling) confronts Sapper Morton (Dave Bautista) mirrors an unused scene from the original Blade Runner (1982). In that scene, Deckard was supposed to shoot a Replicant and remove its artificial jaw, but the sequence was ultimately abandoned." 
      
    "To emphasize Joi's artificial nature, editor Joe Walker experimented with freezing her image for nine frames just before she responds to a question, creating a brief pause as if her processor was occupied. However, this approach felt forced, so it was dropped in favor of other visual cues, like her changing costumes."
