to giggle about Boden opening their own forum...

Which will be up and running in a few weeks, and is being tested now.

And suggest all the Boden addicts go there instead Grin

Honestly, a forum just for Boden customers? All jokes aside, it seems weird...

I cant imagine anything more boring

Katisha · 18/08/2010 17:51

Oh lord. Will it be "fun" and hotchpotchy and members can update each other with their favourite cities (Paris) etc...

Full of diet tips so you can look like the uber thin models like eating paper towels to make you feel full

It's going to be a hoot. Fun and sassy in a laid-back, Cornish-sunset sort of way. It's going to feel like a bracing walk on the moors, like breakfast in Provencal patesserie, like lunch with smart friends in Norfolk farmhouse. It won't take itself too seriously, it's self-deprecating with lots of in-jokes so that you'll laugh while throwing back your glossy hair. You don't have to be clever to join, we'd prefer it if you're not actually, just tanned, slim, rich or just desperate to be upper middle-class.

Patisserie. God, I'm such a silly Moo! Pass me a Marlboro light.

sloanypony · 18/08/2010 18:14

That was very good though Nomedoit!

Can anyone outdo her?

gramercy · 18/08/2010 18:22

Perhaps there will be amusing competitions where you can post pictures of your dcs to see whose has the floppiest hair.

scottishmummy · 18/08/2010 18:23

is the forum going to be on mn?

TheCrackFox · 18/08/2010 18:26

I just don't get Boden. Lord knows I have tried but IMO it is the same catalogue reprinted every year.

innocuousnamechange · 18/08/2010 18:26

I was about to come and recommend you all take a gander at the Jack Wills forum but see I have been beaten to it Grin Knobbers, one and all

scottishmummy · 18/08/2010 18:28

who is jack wills

innocuousnamechange · 18/08/2010 18:30

The fact that you have to ask suggests that you are too old and too poor to be on their forum Wink

scottishmummy · 18/08/2010 18:33

yes i expect so

flibbertigibbert · 18/08/2010 18:33

Scottishmummy: hideous

scottishmummy · 18/08/2010 18:38

aghhh now why do you do that.my eyes seared at the ostentatious image

flibbertigibbert · 18/08/2010 18:40

"my grandparents used to own like loads of land around the village i live in but they sold a lot of the land, and now only have like 200 acres when they used to own like 1500"

I love all the uses of 'like'

innocuousnamechange · 18/08/2010 18:42

I can hear the braying just reading it, yah?

thisisyesterday · 18/08/2010 18:42

yes what is with that?
i just had an e-mail saying that as one of their "better" customers i was invited to come and see what was going on

better?? better than what? or whom?

and why, oh why would i want to belong to a forum on a site i sometimes use for buying kids clothes? i can't imagine

a while back when they sent me a questionnaire about Boden I specifically said that i thought they were crazy making a forum/social networking place out of the site.

Katisha · 18/08/2010 18:45

I haven't got time to post on a forum. I am too busy meeting my friends in cafes, where we all laugh with our mouths wide open.

We are also busy sitting in such a way that you can't actually see the front of the shirt you may be interested in buying.

quaere · 18/08/2010 18:45

Just looked at the Jack Wills forum... If I was their mother I would be gutted if I had actually paid for their education

stealthpony · 18/08/2010 19:08

eating paper towels makes you feel full?? Excellent, I'm off to give it a go.

2kids2dogsandahorse · 18/08/2010 19:14

Err that's it really Confused you may all go back to laughing at me for thinking Boden was slightly sexy once upon a time Blush

"eating paper towels makes you feel full?? Excellent, I'm off to give it a go."

I learnt that off of Casualty. :)
