What do you mean Soupo? Confused

Does Johnnie send you bodybags filled with models that have grown old & fat?

I'm curious.

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 14/12/2010 19:21

Actually, according to that article, I've just noticed that I've called my puppy the same name as Johnnie has called his dog. Fuck fuck fuck.

Catalogues. FFS

There is a website called www.damnyouautocorrect.com and i think that post qualifies.

catinthehat2 · 14/12/2010 19:45

That is an autocorrect out of left field, couldn't work it out at all.

I have never bought anything from Boden (and never will), and judging from the website the clothes look frumpy and boring!!!

SoupDragon · 15/12/2010 09:58

it occurs if you type "Fatalogues" which is surprisingly easy to do. Why on earth it doesn't suspect you may mean fatalities, i don't know.

CaptainNancy · 15/12/2010 10:10

Rofl- I thought you meant dead trees! Grin

HuwEdwards · 15/12/2010 10:12

Tis shit. Awful patterns, fussy styles. And frumpy, even for me - and I'm a 'woman of a certain age'.

I've shopped at Boden for years and I always found it to be two extreme's. Lovely Classics that I will buy and wear year on year - Plain print coats wrap dresses, some jumper dresses and wardrobe staples. Then there's the loud naff prints that screams I bought this from Boden that I would never buy !!

On the whole I choose wisely, and love the kids stuff

Just seen:

"I emailed Johnny , asking him why on earth they sent me fatalities every fortnight and did he not care about the environment".

Tee Hee.

My friend, and her gorgeous 3 month old daughter visited earlier and the baby was wearing a fabulous, funky pinafore dress and tights. Easily recognisable as Boden, but nonetheless lovely. UABU

if you email boden and say you don't want any paper catalogues, ever, they stop sending you them - i still order stuff from them online but it never results in me getting another catalogue.
like some other posters, in my email i said while i liked a paper catalogue, it seemed a total waste of resources to churn out so many, often just with exactly the same photos of the same clothes as the last catalogue, just with a different cover and the pages in a different order inside...
