Welcome to this new episode of Rich Pickings. There’s yet more controversy, this time about worm-tickling and whether or not Nina’s biscuit choice actually is a biscuit. There’s a furry rodent theme (sorry in advance) with one-eyed squirrels and dubious groundhogs, and there’s even a short discussion about the dreaded pruning, in which we do acknowledge both the possible dullness of the debate and the over-complicatedness of the task itself.

But never fear, we soon shake ourselves out of this, and into ponderings on how much a worm weighs. You have been warned. Discover that we don’t know our equinoxes (Imbolc is between winter and spring, we really do know that!) Find out what biscuit actually has made it this week, and Who We Should Be More - it’s an old faithful this time; can you guess who it might be …?
