Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

Bet these people who call us bores don't object if they are given free fresh fruit and veg!
My Dad's eyes constantly glaze over when I harp on about how fabulous my chickens are but he still accepts the eggs.

I was in the middle of my response when the network went down.
Just another bandwagon they jump on; next week they will have forgotten what they were so anxious to insult this week and move on to their next victim.
I only get papers myself to put around the spuds on the lottie; best thing for them.

Why would we (or anyone) give a flying **** what any of the Murdoch papers say
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom

So whay does she feel the need to try take the p*ss out of us? What a piece of lazy, boring journalism.Like real ale bores, car bores and DIY bores, gardening bores need to realise that sometimes we're just taking a polite interest and we're not that bothered.
They're plants. They look nice. Get over it.
(and I only read the 1st and last para's!)
Carol love - must try harder!
