Sept 4: A stunning discovery...

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 14:13:00 GMT

We are not the only people with a pet tomato.

August 29: Clive is reborn

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 12:09:00 GMT

As you know, the walnut killers had been dripping a poison called juglone onto Clive and we'd been unintentionally helping it get to the plant's roots every time we watered our 'pet'.

August 22: La Tomatina

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:03:00 GMT

In at least one way the news that Clive's producing fewer and fewer fruit is good news. It means that the office idiots will not be able to carry out their threat of bringing La Tomatina to Hounslow.

August 14: Ethnic cleansing

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 14:03:00 GMT

Guess what.... walnut trees like to kill tomato plants.

August 8: Rat attack!

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 10:11:00 GMT

Our hunt for wolf urine, taking in the Pound Shop, has drawn a blank so far

August 1: Clive is suffering from sheer exhaustion

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 12:54:00 GMT

There's no doubt about it, Clive is a shadow of its former self.

July 29: Bad hair day

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 09:16:00 GMT

Clive's pruning has not gone down as well as we might have expected. Or hoped for.

July 23: A spot of tea

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:19:00 GMT

Well a plane didn't land on the office, David Beckham hasn't popped in for a cup of tea on his way to Brentford FC and, most importantly, Clive is still in one piece.

July 21: While the cat's away

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:32:00 GMT

Yet another edict from the editor causes uproar in the 'rank and file'. We print it in full as there is absolutely no chance she will know we've done it.

July 17: Economic woes plague Clive

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 13:32:00 GMT

We all have to economise, what with the shares gloom, fuel prices, housing market and credit crunch.

July 14: We are not alone

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 15:20:00 GMT

We Are Not Alone. Across the area covered by hounslowchronicle.co.uk a series of UFO spotters come forward to reveal how they watched weird lights in the sky.

July 11: Shower time for Clive

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:45:00 GMT

Rain, and more rain. Strangely, Hounslow Chronicle news editor Dan Lyons has not been called upon to do a repeat of his Superman act of rushing out into the flood to rescue Clive.

July 10: Clive saved by human resources

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 15:30:00 GMT

Tomato War has ended, at least for now, in the Hounslow Chronicle office and everyone is trying to appear effective, efficient and organised.

July 9: Tomatoes are so evil

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:19:00 GMT

Polarised, there's a good word. And it sums up office opinion after the Tom Shaw blight debacle.

July 8: Salmonella scare

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:32:00 GMT

So far so good. The editor has not spotted we are monitoring the policing of poor Tom Shaw.

July 7: Infectious

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 12:21:00 GMT

Guess what hounslowchronicle.co.uk has a scoop.

July 4: First aid

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 16:36:00 GMT

We don't have room for babies in the Hounslow Chronicle office. Whimper about a paper cut or trip over a sleeping sub editor and you can expect no sympathy.

July 1: Poison myth

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:25:00 GMT

Guess what we've discovered? It was mostly posh people in Elizabethan times who thought tomatoes were poisonous.

June 30: The history of tomatoes

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:24:00 GMT

More orangey-red tomatoes greet us on arrival this sunny Monday morning.
