hasn't this gone far enough? these threads are being allowed to stand which considering the "policies" of the BNP and the views expressed by "activists" is appalling. yes, free speech is wonderful, but some of these threads can be seen as inciting racial hatred, there are many, many, disablist, homophobic, racist remarks made and implied and they always go the same way. the threads are started to cause a bunfight. the BNP will not get anymore supporters on here, so why be deliberately controversial?

mn is a self-moderated site. this is great and one of the reasons i use it. however, the mners are now moderating and saying that we have had enough. we have complained a LOT about this type of thing - please take note!

Yes definitely. Like the sound of sweet potatoes too but thought root veg would be a no-no in pots?

I'm actually thinking of a kaftan to the what-to-wear-while-wafting problem, but it might look a bit dated

Steelfairy - theres always that lonely one that stares at you from the pack screaming "eat me!!". I bloody hate it..

Peas! Peas grow really well in pots. As do strawberries.

ChickensNeedOpposableThumb · 16/05/2010 16:11

I have a long white skirt. Sadly lacking in the floppy wide brim hat though. And if I go outside with bare feet, the chickens will try and eat my toenails, which upsets my wafting.

TheSteelFairy2 · 16/05/2010 16:11

Ok, peas, tomatoes and Strawberries, thinking some salad leaves as well, did rocket once and that was great, you cut it and more just grows back. Goes on for ages.

ChickensNeedOpposableThumb · 16/05/2010 16:12

Yes, can't go wrong with salad. Also herbs.

TheSteelFairy2 · 16/05/2010 16:13

Would love to be able to keep chickens, I dream of moving out of the city and having about an acre of land to just wander around on.

brightongirldownunder · 16/05/2010 16:15

I had a chicken called Gwen once, who was addicted to watching the washing machine.

I think we need the help of a hypnotist to solve the doughnut issue

PuzzleRocks · 16/05/2010 16:15

DD1 is currently decimating my plants gardening wearing only a rain mac and DH's slippers. Is that a look you could pull off, perhaps?

brightongirldownunder · 16/05/2010 16:16

If you can recommend one Quattro, it urgent over here...
May have to undergo overnight liposuction as it is..

Quattrocento · 16/05/2010 16:17

Only 339 posts to go ...

Or we could try aversion therapy for the doughnuts - ie you eat them until you make yourselves sick and then hopefully you will be cured. Or not, of course ...

noddyholder · 16/05/2010 16:19

wellies t shirt and trackies then

brightongirldownunder · 16/05/2010 16:21

There is actually one more doughnut in the box as I write...can you please remind me why I shouldn't just have a nibble.

Quattrocento · 16/05/2010 16:22

Just

brightongirldownunder · 16/05/2010 16:24

Its smells so good....is there such a thing as the food police? Arrest me officer, I'm about to eat my 5th doughnut..

Quattrocento · 16/05/2010 16:25

Say

TheSteelFairy2 · 16/05/2010 16:25

If you had to choose between eating only Fruit or eating only Veg for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

Obviously you can eat other stuff with, whichever you decide. So Fruit OR Veg?

brightongirldownunder · 16/05/2010 16:25

I am holding it up to my nose and breathing in the delicious perfume.....maybe if I just lick it..

TheSteelFairy2 · 16/05/2010 16:26

Me - Veg.

noddyholder · 16/05/2010 16:28

Don't start licking things or you will end up like me licking doritos while ds looks on in shock and disgust as I throw whole bsgs of soggy triangles into the bin

Quattrocento · 16/05/2010 16:29

No

TheSteelFairy2 · 16/05/2010 16:29

I do that too! With Pringles. Can't believe other people do that as well.

brightongirldownunder · 16/05/2010 16:30

Ah Noddy I've been there too... I'm also one of those freaks who eats the contents of a pie but leaves the pastry for fear of excessive calories - insane considering said contents are normally full of cream.....
