You don't have to be feminist to post here, but it helps...

I've noticed that whenever a 'non-feminist' view is brought up, there are occasionally some posts along the lines of 'this is a feminist board, why come here if you aren't...', etc.

Genuine question - is this a feminist board, or a board about feminism? Obviously the majority of posters are feminist, but I'm not sure whether that is because feminists (surprise surprise) like discussing feminism, or because it is seen as a feminist 'safe haven'?

DontCallMeFrothyDragon · 30/08/2011 22:18

I assume that's sarcasm, claig...

Seeing as you asked sooo politely scottishmummy a quick google of conkers and toxicity would have given you this

scottishmummy · 30/08/2011 22:18

are all conkers created equally or are there anti-conkers

ChristinedePizan · 30/08/2011 22:17

Not hard to find - google conkers and toxicity - it's well known (well should be if you have children)

The weird thing about spiders is that conkers give off a vapour which is toxic to spiders (because they are v small). There are loads of threads about it

Having said that about the brambles, we did find a few lanes with lots on Sunday and I made a delicious frozen yoghurt with them. Found an ice-cream maker in the loft that came from my great-aunt's and have been testing it out.
