Calling all those from the Ecologist magazine thread...

....okay, so my Ecologists go to fullmoonfiend, then Tatties, then Franny&Zooey. Is that right? And does anybody elsewant to join the chain? Rather than sending money for postage, why doesn't everybody just makean equivalent donation to a suitably green charity?

y'all enjoy now.

FrannyandZooey · 14/10/2006 13:59

I don't see why we would need to donate postage anywhere, because we will all be paying the same in postage each time we send it on. So it cancels out. Doesn't it?

TooTickyTheAppleBobber · 14/10/2006 14:21

Do what, Filly?

I don't think she likes the Ecologist. That's how I read it, anyway (but her mind is turned by Playmobil aardvarks tbh)

FillyjonkthePumpkinEater · 14/10/2006 14:28

zac goldsmith....advising...the tories...bad...tories win election based on green policies then use as excuse to do bllx all...kyoto...nuclear power not answer.........can't afford products they keep advertising and actually, the booja booja truffles weren't that good...

aardvarks, frank, where where where?

no, don't post a link...

TooTickyTheAppleBobber · 14/10/2006 14:31

Hmm. Didn't know. But the magazine is jolly informative.
Booja booja truffles not that good?

disapointingly dry

i think i got them as part of a subscription last year...or maybe it was juno...

TooTickyTheAppleBobber · 14/10/2006 15:06

Was it the magazine or the truffles that you found disappointingly dry? Please clarify

OP posts:

FillyjonkthePumpkinEater · 14/10/2006 15:14

truffles

magazine i enjoyed but...was a bit worried about some of the info, tbh. aaargh. can't remember exactly what. there was an article on depression which kind of made me but can't remember why. I know relatively f all about science but have seen some stuff in there which makes me . aargh. i can't quote or reference, have long ago given my magazines to my friendly cranial osteopath...so just a rambling hunch.

I guess I can't get over zac goldsmith advising the tories. it really sticks in my throat.

Tatties · 14/10/2006 15:23

Oh yes I'm still up for this.

TooTickyTheAppleBobber · 14/10/2006 15:37

Filly, if you ever get given any more "dry" (oh so scrummy!) organic, vegan truffles, you will send them my way, won't you?
Goodo Tatties

FillyjonkthePumpkinEater · 15/10/2006 07:41

ah tick, what i think you need are cotons truffles.

argh i don't think they are vegan though

my mum pronounced vegan "vay-GAN", it always makes me chuckle

she is vay-GAN, btw, at least in theory.

FillyjonkthePumpkinEater · 15/10/2006 07:41

Whaaaaat? Vegans don't eat honey....

FillyjonkthePumpkinEater · 15/10/2006 09:38

at honey

thats the kind of thing that drives my mum up the wall

and me

especially given how a lot of honey is extracted from hives

theres a bit too much scaremongering in there for my liking also-i remember an article advising parents not to let their kids sleep in the same room as electrical sockets (cos it causes childhood leukaemia, apparently), also tho i quite like her, that bella whatever from the cliff edge is a bit of a nut job. in one article she let her daughter burn her hand on a candle and then got her to swim off in the pitch black sea at midnight.

still quite like it, its very steinery, which brings me over all fuzzy and nostalgic.

oh that school, I know the one, I think (subscribe but get issues a little...ahem..irregularly )

If its the one i think, thats an interesting school, run on steiner lines but not actually one, IYSWIM. In particular, it has a headmaster.

TooTickyTheAppleBobber · 15/10/2006 11:14

I just have to say RATHER LOUDLY that real, classical homoeopathy is startlingly good, very scientific and well researched and nothing to do with placebos oranything else that gets trotted out regularly. Does have to be the proper stuff, though, just one dose of a single remedy, not yer over-the-counter mixtures to be taken 3 timesa day...
