NorthernStar Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Flowers, why the heck do people buy flowers; I refuse point blank to buy anyone flowers because frankly they look better where they grow. Flowers to me seem to symbolise nothing more than an act of vandalism, they are plucked from nature so someone can put them into a vase on the telly and watch them slowly die for a couple of days - I don't get it, it's just wrong.

horribleblob Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Flowers "plucked from nature"? From a polytunnel more likely. I don't think nature has much to do with the flowers you buy from a florist any more than the pork you purchase has connections with wild boar rooting around in the greenwood. Now; if you'd said plastic flowers, then there might have been a meeting of minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horribleblob Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I always pronounce it to myself as "llama-tron" and see it as a boy llama wearing a glo-stick collar. Enough of your fantasies, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree with that, something that is dying when you get it-I get people pot plants occasionally instead! Plastic flowers are worse though. I love basil fawlty telling polly to put the plastic flowers in the dish washer:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamatron Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Phone books, I mean who still uses a phone book! I admit they will be useful to the occasional home without internet but just think how many go straight into the paper recycling:loopy: Add to that every leaflet that comes through my door. If I want something I will look for it, stop using my letterbox as a bin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickiethecat Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Car stickers that say "baby on board" "little person on board" or any of that rubbish. Does anyone think ooh, I was thinking about crashing into the back of that car but now I've seen that sticket I'll crash into someone else insteadr?
