We have it, but haven't taken it out of the bag yet! It's for dd2's birthday for a garden play tent (and possibly a refuge for frazzled mothers).

If it is being sold as a tent then it has to be fit for purpose (ie wont leak) so I imagine for a couple of nights it would be fine. No SIG though....hope your DC like communing with the bugs

I think Chippy has one too.

and up your nose

Slubberdegullion · 23/06/2008 17:39

Oh blutack is no use. The ants that come into tents always carry tooth picks to prise out any ear protection.

I've seen 'em. Clever buggers.

and if your wee bucket doesn't have a lid they lurk at the edges with ropes and grappling hooks to gain access to your nethers.

Lucycat that is a bit rude to refer to one of charliecat's DC as a bison.

We have no way of knowing what size they are, or what smell they have for that matter.

Lucycat · 23/06/2008 17:51

no a real one!

or is it a buffalo?......

my nostril hair means you cant tell whether im a bison or a buffalo.

OP posts:
Slubberdegullion · 23/06/2008 17:53

I think they were bisons. Buffalo are what make mozzarella, don't think the native indians did tricolour salads (iirc from 3rd year infants history).

Slubberdegullion · 23/06/2008 17:55

Well charliecat if you have large herbivore-esque ear and nasal foliage you are probably safe from the ants.

The argos tee pee is the tent for you

Do you know the difference between a buffalo and a bison?

You can't wash your hands in a buffalo

Slubberdegullion · 23/06/2008 18:25

ha ha ha (not sacastic laughing)

I like it Betty. I'm going to tell the dc that one right now...........

Slubberdegullion · 23/06/2008 18:27

Helloo, did somebody mention my name?
I have the medium one, it hasn't leaked but water has got in under the door and sides. Something I didn't appreciate was the pole in the middle getting in the way (I know I know!).
