    I know quite a few people's names, or what they tell me their names are anyway! But in my head you are all your forum names. :) I'm very slightly worried that when FC visits I'll keep calling her FC to her face:o

    edit: ut then we all use nicknames in my family anyway.....often as our ''normal'' usuage names.

    I can see it now......


    Nearlynew-- Beans are wealth. Crop price inflation is theft.

    Cleaver-- Mate, enough of the beans. And if you fart in the bed once more I'm going to subject you to death by graph.

    Nearlynew-- This time next year, caves will be cheaper. 100% guaranteed.

    Cleaver-- You said that last year, and the year before. For the love of god can we have a cave price crash please, so you can move out and stop with all the bean farts in this one.

    Nearlynew-- Where's McTittish, he said he was going hunting hours ago and I don't see no rabbit on the table. He should have let me go with the ferrets.

    Mrs McT-- Dinners served. Who'd like some lovely roast rabbit?

    Hamish-- I didn't get any rabbit......

    Nearlynew-- Where the hell have my ferrets gone?

    fc123-- Oh dear....

    I can shoot, I have a very nice Browning and an Army and Navy over-and-under.

    The fat, lazy mutt is a trained gun dog. Knock a stone off her and I reckon she would be good to go.

    I don't do camping so I will need a south facing cave. It can't be any worse than the private let I once lived in.

    I haven't shot anything for years, but I can fish, and I'm good with vegetables.....

    Hang on, that sounds a bit like cannibalism. You don't think it might turn out like 'Lord of the Flies,' do you?

    Perhaps I will just stay here and take my chances. :o

    Has anyone started to stock up on basic foodstuffs etc in case they or their partners are made redundant?

    I think I read somewhere that you were best to have enough dry/tinned foodstuffs in for up to 6 months (not so much frozen in case we start having power cuts).
    I've just sent an email to McVities asking about discounts on a job lot of Gold Bars - Is this the right thread?

    'Silver Bears' is a brilliant name for a niche type of gay bar.

    Who cares if Hamish is constantly wrong that "gold and silver were going to crash 100% guaranteed" when you part of the silver bears group........


    Hamish will be right, at some point. It's just it might go up by a factor of 10 first. Ask the housing bears...

    PN - just noticed on the nice people's thread you were complaining about being hot - is that weather related or were you daydreaming about the guys in the photo.

    I don't know how to break this to you but you might not be their type.
