Who Did We Lose In 2015?

[Guest]

Going off topic slightly -what about funny threads/posts from last year.

Jimmy's one about flowers being weeds was hilarious.

There was also one when Big Mallly got into a spat with another user, who started to call him Big Molly - again really funny.

Can anyone remember some others ?

SP's marmalade v jam thread and BM's biscuit dunking thread. Oh neither of those have anything to do with GYO. I think it is safe to say I do enjoy random threads

Don't get me going on piggin' biscuit dunking cos I still can't get the hang of it. Now every time I get the biscuits out, I grab a spoon..............

the secret to it is,know your biscuits density,like so,choc ones melt,morning coffee one dip,and try,whilst the thicker ones,both cream centers and the thicker hard ones,need a bit more,only dip a small portion of biscuit at a time,the amount needed to go into the mouth,failing all else,suck in it

Choc ones - Messy but get your point.
Morning Coffee - They only have to look at the drink and fall in half. It must be the heat.
Custard Creams - Forget it, they just split in half.
Dip a mouthful at a time - That'll be the whole biscuit then....................

That biscuit thread was hilarious ��

Disappointed FB has up sticks. Thought I hadn't seen his moniker in awhile. If that guy ever wrote a book on fruit trees I'd be first in the queue! As I recall the subject of my first few posts on this forum was seeking apple advice, and I was helped very much . Orangepippin very knowledgeable so that's another loss. And of course fellow chilli aficionado's are always going to be missed
I'm not a Facebooker or blogger, and I tend to come and go here. I used to use the BBC gardening forum until that closed. But I can't imagine other forums covering more than this one does.

I've seen Orangepippin mentioned a few times -is it the same person that runs the orangepippin website and fruit tree sales business ?

[veggiechicken]

Yes, it is.

[KevinM67]

Yes, it is.

Cheers VC.

Strangely enough our School has just recently done some business with them. We're looking forward to the various trees/bushes we've ordered.

[KevinM67]

I'm sorry for straying off topic, again -but...

Just to add to my last post - said company informed me today that our delivery of fruit trees/bushes are due next Tuesday.
Their communication and customer service has been first class throughout the whole process.

It's the tiny touches for me - you send them the order and they were straight back giving advice about some of the plants we had ordered, that their main fruit picking time was in August - would they be suitable for a School when everyone was away for Summer hols, etc.

A1 so far.

I'm back! Thanks for missing me xxx been very busy with a new business and been working six days a week. The seventh was catch up,on washing etc day. Easing off a bit now and just popped on here, what a coincidence!

[Bigmallly]

Welcome back ancee, hope the new business is doing well.

[ancee]

Thank you. It's getting there, takes a long time to establish things but it's all positive, and very exhausting! I am not quite sick of pizzas yet as my OH keeps inventing new ones, and I just have to try them before releasing them on the public. Sort of an official taste tester ahem! Also, I've lost weight! Before you get the idea that I rolled myself into the forum! Haven't got time to do stuff like eating!

[Bigmallly]

Brilliant, sounds like a job some would dream of............designated pizza taster..............
