It's like virtual scrapbooking that you can share. You put a little button on your tinternet toolbar and when you see a picture on the tinternet of something you like, you press the button and select the picture you like on the page. You can have different boards, I have one full of garden things for me and bathroom things for someone else, just lots of visual ideas all in one place. It's handy.

And you can show other people too.

Shame really that we have no community spirited neighbours as the far end of the road is a cul-de-sac, so would make an ideal location for a street party.
I could not possibly suggest it as the people that live on that stretch of the road could feel invaded and I only know the names of about 4 of the neighbours. Plus anyone suggesting it could end up organising the thing and who would want that!

A couple of my FB friends use it, everything they link then cloggs up FB!

Eugh.... I am aware of bugg4h all occurring round these parts. And, sitting alone on a blanket, scoffing a cheese sandwich, among crowds of families/people with friends would not be on my "must do" list.

There's nothing that can make you feel more lonely than being alone in a crowd. Best avoided.

It's dominated by annoying, twee, middle-class women who bake cup cakes and have no better way to spend their time.

It's also on the way doooowwwwnnnnn the popularity stakes.

There are also image copyright issues over the model.

I'm still here (running late as usual) so I'm sure we can get to the 10k before I run out of the door (priorities and all that!)

We live at the end of a small cul-de-sac and had an invite to a street party. We're not going - that was the first we heard of it and they're all quite stuck up so we don't want to spend our day with them. The estate was quite badly planned and there is not enough parking on people's drives so it becomes quite tricky driving up to our house at the best of times. Mum was going to write a snotty/ slightly rude RSVP to them, but I persuaded her to let me do it instead (and do my best not to sound snotty or rude).

What, six pages of posts since I last logged on? A quick catch up, none of which will bear any relevance to what you are no doubt now talking about, but I haven't got to yet.

I have never lived in Herts (but eldest wants to go to university there)

Not far from the Herts NPs - our neck of the woods so to speak. If there's anything you want to know about the place I'm sure you can PM most of us. I spend a fair bit of time in that town if you want to know practical stuff..

TBF you should never go south east ever ever ever ever, unless you're travelling to dulwich village in an armoured car. Although I had a couple of very funny nights in the venue at new cross when I was a bit younger. Normally my trains are airconned and I get a seat but they can be really hit and miss, some carriages are like a freezer and others like a sauna. Luck of the draw.

I like lir had a 2CV in days past. One day I was driving through Deptford when I got stuck for a long period of time at a set of traffic lights. Top down, cassette on, lovely day, quite relaxed. Then a group of blokes appeared out of nowhere, started beating 10 barrels of sh*t out of the car in front, then as soon as the lights changed, disappeared back into the crowd as rapidly as they appeared. I've not been back since.
