I need to cut my lawn. Do you think I'll need to do it again before the winter?

Rustybear, I think the question 'what do snails ponder about'? is deserving of the most dull question on the boring thread award.

Thanks

I think ponder is a quite exciting word.
Also what have you been doing to get fingermarks on the laminate flooring EP?

I have vacuum the crumbs out of the toaster. I did it on the way to the stairs.

Thanks

Can I tell you about our builders? Can I? Can I? I have already bored Tamum and Foxinsocks about them, and DP has bored all his colleagues to the point that one of them fixed me with a basilisk eye when I sat next to her at a conference on Thursday and said yes she knew we had builders. I can go on, and on, and on..........

That concrete book cannot be as boring as it looks. It has a quite respectable amazon sales ranking cf eg Harry Potter.

Unfortunately they have quite an inventive catalogue of excuses, which lifts them out of the Strictly Bore-room category. But I can bore you about flooring, and how we're going to have a particular sort of unremarkable flooring in one part of the kitchen, and of course it'll have to go horizontally to look like the flooring in the other part of the kitchen diner which used to be the kitchen, and I'm not really sure I went for the right yellow overall, is it yellow with a hint of green really, or even worse a yellowy-green or perhaps even a greeny-yellow, and will this matter, and oooh look you can see a damp stain coming through and...

...and yes I did buy, today, the silicone cake tin to make heart-shaped cupcakes, but that's cake, it's not boring, sadly.

But that is fascinating mb I did it with nail varnished snails which I afterwards flung over the chapel wall next door. I am waiting to see how many come back and I have got my old stats book out and I am dying to do a chi squared test.
