I have just joined the club today (2/10/2003)and i think you are all totally mad :P and here i was thinking i was all alone in the world, but i'm happy ;D to see more like minded people. Keep up the good work, and happy gardening. ;D
Hello Jethro!
Welcome to the board! Yes, we are all mad and it sounds like you'll settle in just fine!
Watch out for Hugh's tales in the shed folder - very amusing!
Best wishes,
Claire
Hi Jethro
Have you tried the Playing thread on the Shed board
now that good fun. Especialy when the garden gets the better of you a little stress relief. ;)
This is a lovely board with lovely girls and guys mad as hatters :-[ so welcome aboard. hee hee

Who says I'm mad :o, just because I was all alone on the lottie this morning with my flask of steaming hot coffee, standing in the rain, surveying all that is mine with a grin ;D, yes you guessed it, from ear to ear, looking at the weeds and the falling leaves, with that fresh rain on dry mud kinda smell wafting up my nose - happy as a pig in s**t! Me mad......never...... ;D ;D
Welcome Jethro - have fun here and with the lottie. Loads of knowledgable people here, too, should you need them.........
Love Palefire

Mad? How can you say that. Yes - devotion, determination, dividends, disasters, desperation, double digging, doubt, decision, DELIGHT.....................
Mad? NO, just DELIRIUM? - Tim
My! There`s alliteration for you. Did you manage to copy & paste it Tim?
It's alright if your mad and you know it. It's them that is mad and don't know that I feel sorry for. I know I'm mad. Sad ain't it.
Jethro - got any good jokes to tell us?
Did someone mention Rain?-can I have some please?
Stephan.
We had some, got excited, checked water butt......... >:(
Oh well, guess we will get more!

Hello Jethro!
The only Jethro I knew was the one in The Archers...any relative? ;D
And have you checked out my UFB thread on the wildlife board? ?Any suggestions?
Cheers! Lishka
I look skywards and yes! RAIN! It seemed to pour for ages.......the lottie looked wonderful and wet, until I cracked the surface! Driazabone! An optical illusion I fear :P
Hi Alishka, the reason i use jethro is that i'm totally mad about a group called 'Jethro Tull' ;D (showing my age now) also it seems apt don't you think as he invented the seed drill ( not the group of course). Where is the wildlife board ??? i've looked everywhere and can't find it :-/ but that could be just me being stupid :'( but it would help if someone could direct me in the right place.
Jethro, go to the main page where all the various forums are listed..Wildlife Forum is beneath non-edible plants.Alternatively, scroll down this page & there's a drop-down menu of the Forums you can use. Do hope you can come up with a suggestion of my UFB. I've trawled and trawled the 2 sites, looked at so many pictures, rushed to the window just in case the bird returned...and, suddenly I realise that I've lots of other things to do..
(So why am I here? ah well, back to the slog..) - Lishka
oops, cancel last message i've found everything :P i.e. wildlife board etc, just me being lazy as usual.
Colin, sorry the only jokes i can tell are to say the least a bit on the raunchy side and i don't know if Dan would let me loose on this site.
Why are people complaning about the lack of rain :-/ try living up here in the North East (Durham) :P you don't need a lottie just a paddy field and a bullock to plough it, and good waterproofs. One consolation is that at least the rice grows if nothing else :). I'm thinking of changing the lottie into a water garden and cultivate khoi carp it would be much easier :o.
rain? - checking water butts? yes we had rain - desperately needed - and yes, I checked the 6 butts - oh, not again? - inlet pipes blocked by grot from the drought. - Tim
