Because it's funny innit? Or are you content in general health?

Hunker should do our marketing, for sure. You do talks with Justine and see if you can pull some strings and get a regular fruit buffet sent over to village hall?

Girls both ILL atm Hunk, again. But getting better.

BBBee · 25/03/2009 20:42

oh god - yes please - will make my life a lot easier!

hello fruties!

hunkermunker · 25/03/2009 20:39

Boco! Hello! How are your divine girls?

And Franny, how are your boys, which is what I should've asked in my last post to you!

If you have the 10/10 threads all in one place, who would sponsor the section?

And would posters with more than 1,000 genuinely amusing posts in the section get e.g. a free Abel and Cole (other veg boxes are available) delivered once a quarter?

Boco · 25/03/2009 20:36

Hunker! Not seen you for aaaages!

hunkermunker · 25/03/2009 20:36

Hey, Franny!

(I'm lying, btw, about the BK apple chips )

I have had literally two portions of F&V today

I shall forage a bit. Does privet count?

FrannyandZooey · 25/03/2009 20:35

oh can't i
oh bother

hello hunker!

hunkermunker · 25/03/2009 20:34

They COUNT, you know.

Boco · 25/03/2009 20:33

You can't demand they tell us that they want us to have our own category because we're so funny and lovely, and then turn them down though, that's just bad manners.

Guadalupe · 25/03/2009 20:32

Ha ha ha.

FrannyandZooey · 25/03/2009 20:30

justine they are telling me you are just doing it to tidy us off the board
you aren't are you? you meant it about us being funny and important and lovely didn't you? [beseeching]

FrannyandZooey · 25/03/2009 20:19

boco we aren't voting on here
shhh
it's a secret vote on the other thread
you know, the thread no-one except us reads

Boco · 25/03/2009 20:13

I vote yes.

Guadalupe · 25/03/2009 20:13

Yes, a budget would be fab. We are good at budgeting and quite prepared to plump for prosseco rather than the real thing

ahundredtimes · 25/03/2009 19:58

I know.

you could have a Fruit and Veg topic. Then Pointy could do lots of That's Life type threads with pictures, and there could be 10/10 and then also people could start 'should I eat this apple?' threads and 'what to make with one potato and one carrot? Quick! I've got 12 people to feed in half an hour.'

oh and there could be allotment chat and grow your own chat and all sorts. It'll be very zeitgeisty, very thrift and also very healthy.

I'd like a taxi account please.

FrannyandZooey · 25/03/2009 19:38

LOL
we are a cut above your usual MN riffraff though

pointydog · 25/03/2009 19:38

I think people want to distance themselves from chicken keepers and pony lovers.

mollyroger · 25/03/2009 19:36

well, mangos don't come cheap, you know....

pointydog · 25/03/2009 19:36

lol molly

Oh, it would be so so funny

MNHQ
JustineMumsnet · 25/03/2009 19:35

This is all very surreal - we spend our whole time telling folks why they can't have their own topic and you 10/10 people will only have one if it includes an expense account .

OP posts:
mollyroger · 25/03/2009 19:34

why yes, Pointy. I had a pea once. it looked just like a tiny wee bollock....

A green one.

quite like this!

pointydog · 25/03/2009 19:31

could there be a slot on amusingly shaped fruit and veg? I bet someone has asked that already. Such a witty idea.

mollyroger · 25/03/2009 19:21

oh dear lord! Have people been complaining about us? Do they want to move us into a special section where they pretend we do not exist?
[paranoid]

Are we the MN equivalent of Mad Old Aunties who smell of wee but everyone puts up with becuase they know we will die soon and we are mostly harmless?

FrannyandZooey · 25/03/2009 18:54

can we have special guests? like famous fruit and vegetable eaters?
justine if we get our own topic can we have a BUDGET? i mean can we claim expenses and stuff

SuperBunny · 25/03/2009 18:48

Def not a club. That makes us seem cliquey and we really are not. We have lurkers and vistors galore.

FrannyandZooey · 25/03/2009 18:47

ha!
