Sorry guys but the antagonism is there on both sides, and this thread has concentrated on "demonising" one person,

That’s several of you who've picked up the real issue here - decking……

So PasturesNew, are you one of those FTPers (FlogToPavers)? Leaving the "sinking ship" with all the other rattus norvegicus? Or maybe it’s just jealousy because you’ve only got turf, actually ..no, I bet there’s just mud and two dandelions, and your pop-up-tent. Maybe if you got a third job you too could have climbed aboard at the right time, instead of whining about your lot. How dare you come on here questioning & having a go at my decision - …..I’m not one of those jonny-come-lately BTLDers (Buy To Lay Deckers) you know, and what’s more I provide a roof over the heads of all manner of critters - yes, including rats - who should be grateful. I’m proud of my portfolio of shiny brass screws and countersunk holes. I took risks, me, and I deserve to do well…. what is your problem?

To be swiftly followed by distant cries of

“D-e-c-k-i-n-g ?????? - you sheeple………you must be utterly mad to even contemplate getting into decking in the current market … ever read the Finance Pages in Lumberjack Weekly? "

and then…

"See that first post just above - was I rude…no. Was I in anyway personal….no and then SHE comes in and tells me I’m a sheeple. That’s just so offensive. (I know I could add her and that other one - wotsisface- Shortsleep? to my ignore list but no, where’s the fun in that……….) There’s a PRINCIPLE here you know….and I’m not the only one who sees it….people like that hiding behind their keyboards, making judgements - I bet they've never done a day's real work....they need to be told"

;)

(Ps Cheers for the comment Snooze - have I blown it now?)

I just wish I was clever enough to answer this with a witty response. Unfortunately I am not skilled in that type of writing

I hope some other witty writer can pick up the mantle and defend the pop-up tent.

Let's be sensible here and return to the subject of decking..

I predict that my house is now worth circa £35k but don't get down about that, cos I know my decking is holding up at circa £250k!!!!

God those lads at B+Q sitting on a goldmine.

Of course even decking has to crash..

Can we have a link to the cheesecake? We might be able to find a better/bigger/nicer/creamier one.

We might be able to offer tips for toppings that treat the tastebuds.

Which is why sales fell by 8% when they compared May 2008 figures for May 2007 figures.

Decking is SOOOOOOO DIY !!!!!! from the TV.

The real money's already moved on ... into cheesecakes I think.

Buy cheesecake futures now. Ditch those DIY chain shares.

Donate the decking to a homeless family now.

Your cheesecake is a dump... the toppings too red, you need to make it more neutral....

Yes, last course is: Key Surprise (replacing that old favourite Key Lime Pie). If it LOOKS like Lime Pie ... run very quickly....

Update:
Key Lime Pie Recipe (sod making it, that smacks of effort, just look at the yummy picture) http://www.nestle.co.uk/OurBrands/Recipes/OldFavourites/Key+Lime+Pie.htm

I suppose it depends on the type of 'dinner party' you are holding, barnaby!

:grouphug:

*think I should add an edit here to say that I don't hold, or go to, that kind of dinner party myself:D
