I've had an idea.
Inspired by the responses to AL's thread about the numpty old geezer who's giving her grief (if he only knew the wrath of the vine), and a conversation I had in the office with two dudes talking about games consoles I've thought of something that combines the two.
With the Nintendo Wii and other games consoles now adopting a "get up and move about" style of gaming, how about something along the lines of "Allotment Wars" or "Garden Force - Compost, or be composted".
It could be used as educational - it can be used in all weathers (for those of us frustrated by the rain we've had recently), you could adapt the game with different modules, oh the possibilities.
One game could be purely educational - providing best practice and guidance. It could also just be out and out warfare, instead of guns you are armed with hosepipes and seed grenades.
Sabotaging other plots/gardens would therefore be only virtual fun and no plants would be harmed in the making of the game. Breed rabbits/squirrels/guionea pigs and unleash them on neighbouring plots.
It would allow you to do all the things you secretly think about doing, but would never do in real life.
Help me, I've gawn mad.
