Kind of got myself lumbered with some boring rock n roll stuff for the next couple of weeks...

I'll think up something when I'm back from my holiday.

Wonder if it might be helpful if boardies posted what subjects they might be interested in?  :-/  Then those amongst us who don't mind giving their opinions (who, me?!) might have a go!

Hi Dan

If you thinking of slug control articles then look no further than us ex-Beebies - we got it down to a fine art involving coffee and strap on headlights ;-)

Hi, I have found having the pool brought the frogs and toads to the garden so no slug snail problems those I did find snails one foot on them and onto the conservory roof for the birds so easy this year. But I always wanted to try the beer methord but hubby thinks the garden would get more beer then him. ha ha Teresa

Hi Suze
I'm a Beeb-boarder myself, but have changed my identity in an effort to develop an air of mystery (didn't work - Ozzy had it sussed in a heartbeat!)

I'd completely forgotten about the strap on headlight....thanks for the reminder - it was one of the best threads ever!

Yes,wasn't it great, had good fun over there till it went all pear shaped.  Great  thread that woz.

Trouble is, this is so quiet over here.  Altho I count about 10 ex bebeies here .......

I recommend patience - and surreptitiously including something along the lines of 'type allotments4all into your search engine .......' on as many posts on aunties boards as you can manage without getting modded off!

Really miss Gavin and Big Bob (such a wise fellow!)....perhaps we could entice them here somehow?  With Lish's coconut's, perhaps!  Where IS Lish?  8)

Sneaks a quick glance over his shoulder.  

Gets winter overcoat.

Huddles over screen and keyboard.

Everything hidden - bit hard typing, but go for it . . .

Tap G

Tap A

Tap V


NO --- STOP!  Somebody'll see me!  Recognise me!



As another ex-brief-beebie, I feel really flattered that Gavin should be missed!  Thank you, allotment_chick, - you've made my day.

I almost went back to beeb to find out how many Gavins there were - but couldn't face the disillusionment!

But, brief though I was on beeb, it's nice to see a fair few familiar names!

All best - Gavin

And I forgot what I wanted to say in the first place!!!!  I've got all sorts of bits and pieces I'd happily write up, cutnpaste, whatever.  

But how would you want them, Dan?  As posts - they might be quite long?  Or a chunk of text e-mailed to you?  Or HTML files?

All best - Gavin

A chunk of text, or HTML files would be best.

Hope to have a proper home page, with links to the forum, and articles etc.

Cheers
