I fear for the waistline of G4 when she reads this thread

[veggiechicken]

I hope she realises the cakes are to be shared

I've just remembered this thread that I started years ago, and I thought it would be fun if our newer members could add their first posts to it.
I can't believe I was amazed when I reached 9000 posts in a year - I've made the same number each year since Sorry

[veggiechicken]

Bumping this thread so you can all add your first posts - and have a larf

[Greenleaves]

Not my first but my second...how do I know...the thread contained my first like

"Evening all

first full day on the new plot and in need of a hot bath!

After doing battle with waste high weeds I came across an enormous patch of mint. Apart from even more digging will cardboard help kill it back.

After my first post I realised that the modern allotmenteer does not use systemic sprays so any advice welcome"

"We've finally (finally!) got an allotment. I've been growing in pots and tiny beds in the equally tiny front garden for years, but now we've come to the top of the waiting list and have signed up... "

I still remember the complete sense of euphoria. And we've done better in our first growing year than I ever imagined!

My first post is already in here But as it's a thread for "first's"...........

I bet I am the first Mod on this (possibly any other) forum to BAN .......... himself

[bearded bloke]

And then a short while after that I accidentally BANNED ....... ?????????????????

Oh the trouble I get myself into

For some bizarre reason I've been trying to remember my first post on here and the only one I could remember featured a naked Bob Flowerdew. Nothing changes
Here's the thread http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...owerdew-2.html
and here's the photo - be very afraid http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...tml#post105183
Special thanks to Snadger whose description of BF has stuck in my mind ever since
Can you remember your first post, anyone?

I looked at the picture ... I think I'm traumatised now. But I'll get over it.

A beaming Bob Flowerdew and a beaming Roy Lancaster ... and a strategically placed Charlie Dimmock ....
Are you thinking what I'm thinking???

[veggiechicken]

I'm thinking...........its not Charlie Dimmock

[Knight of Albion]

And has Bob Flowerdew "recycled his teeth"?! Ah, the poor fellow! I don't know what he'd be more indignant about, that or someone getting his recently released book half price from a clearance outlet!

I think I posted about my ancient runner bean that lived in our bedroom window for nine years, actually up until a few months ago when I finally put him outside and poor runner bean bit the dust I felt like a murderer!

[Knight of Albion]

I'm thinking...........its not Charlie Dimmock

Are you sure?

Though I've a feeling neither Bob or Roy care!

[Knight of Albion]

I'm thinking...........its not Charlie Dimmock

I just did a Google image search. You're right, it's a young Anne Swithinbank.
She's a dark horse!
