Why gardening bores should wither away - Times Online



Oooops

[Winky]

There are no gardening bores on the vine, just fantastic, friendly, helpful folk

[piskieinboots]

They're plants. They look nice. Get over it.

Carol Midgley - you write for the Times - get over it!!

[HeyWayne]

She can't help being a one dimensional person I'm sure.

Ever had an interesting conversation with a journalist (apart from you of course Paul)?

.....(apart from you of course Paul)?

of course

I've just sent this to her:

I challenge you, Carol, to visit this site and tell me gardeners are bores.
Grow Your Own - GYO Allotments, Growing Fruit & Vegetable Advice, Gardening, Chickens, Seeds for Sale & Organic foods

and yes, I did leave my name and contact details

Bloody good idea piskie. Be interested to see if:

a) she replies
b) she posts
c) she admits it

How many people would rather chat to a gardener than a journo (again, with exception to Paul).

Bet these people who call us bores don't object if they are given free fresh fruit and veg!

My Dad's eyes constantly glaze over when I harp on about how fabulous my chickens are but he still accepts the eggs.

The only bore I can see around here is Carol Midgely.

[squashysu]

As the saying goes.

"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story"!!!!!

Carol who??????? = oh that boring bird who tries to write witty intellectual columns for a newspaper that is soooooooooo boring!!!! (sorry all you Times readers - but i prefer the crossword in The Sun!)

I was in the middle of my response when the network went down.

Just another bandwagon they jump on; next week they will have forgotten what they were so anxious to insult this week and move on to their next victim.

I only get papers myself to put around the spuds on the lottie; best thing for them.

[Seahorse]

Why would we (or anyone) give a flying **** what any of the Murdoch papers say

[smallblueplanet]

Like real ale bores, car bores and DIY bores, gardening bores need to realise that sometimes we're just taking a polite interest and we're not that bothered.

They're plants. They look nice. Get over it.

So whay does she feel the need to try take the p*ss out of us? What a piece of lazy, boring journalism. (and I only read the 1st and last para's!)

Carol love - must try harder!

[piskieinboots]

re my comment above, she hasn't come back to me yet to take up my challenge

[areia]

bores boressssssss least we have a productive hobbie, like to know what she does in her spare time
