I think you are a secret Louie fan Dave. Come on, out of that closet and admit it.

Why has your post made me start singing

'Ive got a loverly bunch of coconuts'

Bugger, I'll be singing it all day now

Oh poo - I'm confused now.
Quick - if you're pruning a rose, cut just above an outward facing bud, with a sloping cut away from the bud, not straight across.
Make it a clean cut.

If it's a Spence - hack away

I tried that on a few branches and they died Now it's half the bush it was and I'm scared to prune it anymore for fear of killing it off! It's started to lean over the gate so badly that everyone but me has to duck. I so want to be a good gardener, but I kill things Rose bushes, threads, spiders... sigh....

awh thanks An, i would have just gone to the diary room and done a speech about how you were my best friend in the thread and now i feel betrayed, that i can never ever speak to you again because you make me feel so uncomfortable, nominated you for eviction from the thread and then when you next posted in the thread told you "i adore you, i adore everyone in the thread but i adore you " and asked "how to do you really feel about me?"

*muffled voice*
I'm only coming out because I need a haircut and have a few errands to run, you know.

I kill everything too All my plants die Even the huge false yucca that my friends bought me (daring me to kill it) died. It got too hot in the conservatory and the glue melted all the leaves off it My husband went in there one morning a few weeks ago and came out screaming like Victor Meldrew 'I do not f**%ing believe it! You've even killed the false one!'

i've been reading this thread today very funny

I just went to see how many I had started. I too thought it was maybe 5 or 6 - twenty effing three in this series. How did that happen?

Anyway food in the title seems to be the thing that sets the forum alight. My 'Tapioca' thread was most successful with 104 posts and What type of biscuit goes with BB? went for 40 posts.

The secret life of threads did quite well with 56 responses. Any techies still up did well as it gave the late night geek community an opportunity to treat IE as if it were a housemate. Many of the others died at birth.

My neighbour is 90 years old and she is the Alan Titchmarsh of our neighbourhood. I try really hard to keep up with her, it is a losing battle.

Everyone comments on how beautiful her front garden is too which doesn't help

I don't suppose she spends most of her time on DS though

Its brilliant I would love to post in it but everyone is so witty I would just fade and die.

Hey Muggins - yep still around!! Nice to see you about too!!

Sign her up for DS - she'll get nowt done then.

I shall chuckle about that one all the way into town

(say it with smilies)

In your lovely high heels

Maybe you should start a thread in advice........

Oh is that what you call it..........I'm assuming it's yellow!

So funny

I'm never going to hear the end of this, I can't wait for CBB to start

I'm going to try that on *1* branch! Thank you!!! I did cut at an angle, but not in any particularly direction. It was a lovely bush when we came here - I feel evil


That's ace! Thank you for making me slightly less of a plant failure Maybe you should just try pictures of plants!


Ahhh yes, I remember that one! The Secret Life of Threads - excellent one that was. I might try a food one... seeing as its my favourite subject and all

Wow

How did this thread go from discussing usernames, to dogs, plants and bushes?

We've had a great time

You forgot babies

it's been on a journey, a rollercoaster of emotions but really we are all here for the experience

A few more days and we will have achieved world peace.

Just goes to show what can be achieved with cooperation, tolerance and teamwork doesn't it? (and she deftly takes the thread back to BB)

If only we could
