Seaweed fertiliser
Seaweed fertiliser, also spelled seaweed fertilizer, is seaweed that is collected and used as fertilizer.
In the Channel Islands, such seaweed fertiliser is known as vraic in their dialects of Norman, a word that has also entered Channel Island English, the activity of collecting vraic being termed vraicking. In Scotland, it is used as fertiliser in lazybeds or feannagan. Falkland Islanders have also been nicknamed "Kelpers" from time to time, from collecting seaweed partly for this purpose.
Several of the 12,000+ varieties of seaweed in the ocean have been shown to be valuable additions to the organic garden and can be abundantly available free for those living near the coast. However, caution should be observed when collecting seaweed, particularly from areas that are liable to pollution, such as downriver (including estuaries) of industrial activities as seaweed is susceptible to contamination. There are also legal implications relating to gathering seaweed, and concerns about sustainability

Thriller Man (international Bonus)
by: FergieHe's got what all the ladies want,
The looks, the clothes, the money.
He's a thriller just to be around,
He's got the moves all down.
[Chorus]
All the girls start swarming,
He knows he's got 'em good.
All the girlies want him,
Just like they should.
When he comes into the room,
Feels like the air vibrates. (Uh huh)
Everybody turns to look,
They all look right his way. (Yeah)
He's got the moves, the rep, he's smooth, (Mmm)
He knows just how to do it.
This guy is something else you know,
He really is a thriller! (Woo!)
[Chorus]
All the girls start swarming,
He knows he's got 'em good.
All the girlies want him,
Just like they should.
So when this guy comes near you, (Hey)
Ya feel th' adrenaline start.
He gets y'all excited, (Oo!)
The room feels kinda hot.
If you get real lucky,
He'll take you 'out' with him. (C'Mon)
You're feelin' really special,
And the feeling last real late. (Uhh!)
[Chorus]
All the girls start swarming,
He knows he's got 'em good.
All the girlies want him,
Just like they should.
This guy, he's a total thriller,
The baddest of the bad.
And what he does is risky,
But every night's the best you'll have.
He's a thriller (thriller),
Thriller man (Ooo...)
He's a thriller (uh huh)
Thriller man (And what a man!) [2x]
He's a thriller,
Ooooo..........
Thriller (Thriller man)
