I envisage myself lying in it with a book while also "supervising" sandpit activities

Anchovy · 05/06/2007 14:58

'wait a minute, mummy's outside sitting on Adrain and she doesn't like to be disturbed.'

That JL one isn't very special for £250. I'd rather pay more and swing with Adrian.

PrincessPeaHead · 05/06/2007 17:41

I'm going to sit dh down, and tell him about adrian, tell him how much I've been fantasising about him, and then ask him if he wants a threesome with him

all summer

JoolsToo · 05/06/2007 17:44

hwo much?

bundle · 05/06/2007 17:44

there's an adrian lookeelikee on the johnnylou lou website, about £800. the montana

or maybe you could call adrian, "adrienne" and pretend it's not so grannyish. looks bloody comfy to me.

JoolsToo · 05/06/2007 17:50

I like Casanova www.unopiu.co.uk/html/catalogo_liv3.php?id=441

and it's metal so no upkeep

LynetteScavo · 05/06/2007 18:18

The teak armchair is called Pauline . It's rather nice, but I've already got a simmilar one.

PrincessPeaHead · 05/06/2007 18:18

do you think so CD?

I think if you lay back and thought of england (while sipping your pimms) you might change your mind...

you see I think the JL one looks horrid

Adrian is the only one I've found that I think I could enter into a long-term relationship with

jools its a bit monumental and swoopy for me

anyway we are all teak here, it would look a bit black and urban

I had an affair with a bloke called Adrian, who chucked me to go back to his Soulmate.

That aside, I have to say it would get filthy (I know it's washable, but you can't wash it every day, can you?).

You could do a LOT worse than a hammock. I love hammocks.

bundle · 05/06/2007 18:24

ooh there was a lovely hammock in one of the weekend supplements it looked like you could fit 3 (small) people in it.

Adrian was the only English pope

and I too went out with an Adrian, who was Maltese and very nice.

motherinferior · 05/06/2007 18:25

I spent two very happy summer holidays in France lounging mainly in a hammock a couple of years ago. Occasionally the Inferiorettes tried to climb in. Mostly I sipped wine.

JoolsToo · 05/06/2007 18:56

oh I agree the wood looks tons better but it's the upkeep - I suppose you have a 'man'?

PrincessPeaHead · 05/06/2007 21:35

oh I do
upkeep doesn't scare him
he is MARVELLOUS

MrsJohnCusack · 06/06/2007 06:18

well I'm only 33 and think it looks fabulous (however I think I was boen middle aged)...but all the Adrian talk is making me feel pretty nauseous as that's the name of my vile FIL.

PrettyCandles · 06/06/2007 06:36

Oh I love the Montana one. Every time I go the snobbier of our nearest garden centres I sit in it and covet. I love the high back because I can just lean back and relax completely, don't even need to make the effort to hold my head upright. And the built-in drinks tables on either side.
