I'll start.

Why do people grow marrows? Surely the most boring vegetable ever. If you grow your own, please don't try and give them to me.

How do you stuff a flower?

Marrow flowers are trumpet-shaped, so fairly easily.

Tell it you'll give it sovereignty and a blue passport?

@ShirleyPhallus I doubt Claude is lurking in West Yorkshire but I'll watch out for him 😂

I am thinking pumpkin?

Such a difficult colour to match the fur to though. Watermelon maybe? I'm guessing you'd need a polytunnel to grow your own.

😂😂😂.

@ShirleyPhallus - the 'hold the phone like I'm on The Apprentice' rife where I live. They look ridiculous - hold flat out to talk, put back to ear to listen.

You could use the miniature gourds for the ultra-toy dogs, marrows for the longer breeds, pumpkins & watermelons for something slightly larger and tropical yams for the bruiser hounds.

Why do people who play music very loudly in cars (usually with windows open) only ever have shit taste in tunes?

... spend a fortune on designer handbags?

Ok, il answer that one - because I can afford it and going into Louis Vuitton/Chanel or wherever and purchasing a beautiful bag in lovely surroundings make me happy, as does carrying around said bag. Having an expensive handbag and shoes also "elevates" what can be a reasonably inexpensive outfit and makes it look better. IMO.

My question..."why do people obsess over what other people spend their money on?" I usually assume people just spend their money on what they like to spend it on and I literally couldn't care less! If you have any better answers please do let me know..

Your username is apt.
