Thus proving that all thread drifts lead to hootoo

Not a bear pit, or a fiery pit, we just send the trolls to Milton Keynes then?

I lived in Milton Keynes for a while. Most of it could have been descibed as a pit.

Did no-one here have immense fun as youngsters in a sand pit?

Maybe I should start a FB group about the positivity of pits?

Anyway sending them to Coventry is more traditional.

But sending to Milton Keynes is a more post-modernist form of damnation, don't you think.

my kids have a sand pit

they have a play house on stilts, so i nailed some planks between the legs and filled it with sand, building sand, because it makes better sand castles, every year i get 5 or 6 bags of sand to refill it

I could never see the attraction of sand pits
Noohootoo is going to be an interesting journey isnt it. After the initial shock I am quite looking forward to it. A clean broom.

but no log on at work

As long as no-one ever proposes stopping topic drift we should be fine...

Sand pits aren't something to see the attraction of...you just get stuck in.

I remember there being a nice natural sand pit amongst my grandpa's cranberry bogs--my then-stepsisters and I had fun digging out miniature cities in the not-quite-sandstone sides...



I like Vip's idea of a button alongside the yikes button--not to hide a post, but to bring it to the mod's attention as part of a pattern. Maybe call it a yoohoo button?

##I could never see the attraction of sand pits##

today its a construction site, tommorrow a lost world with dinosaurs, after lunch its a huge mound with an intricate castle on top, and at the weekend its the saharah and gi joe is stranded without food and water

whats not to GET!!!!


whats not to

"my grandpa's cranberry bogs"



What a cool phrase. It just reminded me you're typing on the other side of the world.

don't they harvest cranberries by flooding the fields????

sort of like a reverse paddy field!!

Yep--flood the fields, beat the vines, and use booms to shove the berries to one side--cranberries are mostly dry, gritty bitterness wrapped around air and a few mustard-sized seeds.

>>whats not to <<

Sand in all your orifices

Yes no work log on is going to be a downer.
