Now I know that I have to be careful about mentioning the 'O' word or even this year and probably even the capital city of this country BUT.... get a look at the athletic prowess of this Garden Snail as it somehow manages to slide to the end of this piece of Black Mustard so that it can radulate to its hearts content whilst somehow clinging on with nothing but the muscles in its 'foot'.

Oh and by the way, I know that the word radulate does not actually exist.... but the tongue-like organ of molluscs, comprising a toothed, horny strip which is used for rasping, boring or scraping off particles of food is called a radula and therefore ipso facto the act of using it should be called radulation....

Well in my world at any rate!
