This forum's slowed down a lot of late. Maybe they all moved to GW to finally declare their love - under pseudonyms of course.

Where'd you go on hols? I was meant to be in India this week but things happened so I'm not.

I went to the Isle of Skye, Hedgie - and very pretty it was too.
Sorry to here of your aborted trip - hope you can do it sometime 'cos India is a fascinating place.

Oo the Isle of Skye, I used to go there when I was little. Climbing the Quiraing and finding crystals and looking at brochs and castles and oubliettes and things. Lovely.

Did you see anyone filming Stardust? Don't know the exact dates they were meant to be on the isle.

i may have a silly name (it was on a whim) but that doesn't mean I can't be articulate.

Gosh, I keep finding lovely people in all sorts of unexpected places.

Jim, I commiserate on the old gardening front. What a fecking awful winter it has been.

The heading for this thread should be Green (Vegetables) Wing Spoiler, what with lettuce and beetroot dominating its early pages.

If I thought my parsley patch could be sorted with what Dr Caroline Todd had in mind I'd throw down the spade and fork and get stuck in*, but I fear hard graft is the only way.

*well, *I* wouldn't get stuck in, obviously.

...and just to rescue this thread before it drops off the end of the front page...

There should be some kind of forum folder system where everyone could keep their favourite threads even if they get banished from the boards in a spring-cleaning exercise. I fear there'll be another one this week once the BB forum(s) kick off. *gloom*

In fact, with the new BB followed by the last GW, it'll be a wonder if anyone can use the boards at all next Friday night.

Thank heavens for boxes, eh!

Having delayed my Friday night plans till 10 for the last 5 weeks (leading me to avoid the madness that ensues) I will actually be around this Friday to witness the devastation. I'm not yet sure if that's a good or bad thing.
