        They're used to build the ShineyFrames in the veg plot. The runner beans need something sturdy to support them. :dbgrtmb:

        The deer have stopped invading the garden since they've seen those! :blue thumb: The Devil hasn't been around much either :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                  I would also love to go as Ali G or potentially Coolio, the man who sang "Gangster's Paradise". And why not. Currently putting some cheese on sticks - not the ShineyFrame sticks yet though! Would anyone like a cocktail? Or a beer? Or a small snifter of potentially dodgy booze? :)

                        I won’t be able to join you I’m afraid. SWMBO has gone and signed us up for an extended family (her side) party. I’ll have to put my sociable head on now. I ain’t happy :mad:

                            Spare a thought for all those GC staff who have to remain sober tonight because they need to stay up until midnight when they'll be creating all the new 2018 threads and locking the old 2017 threads, plus creating new monthly threads.

                            I've been increasing the cheeseboard selection, getting some Pringles, a big box of onion bhajis and other stuff for tonight, and to make it dog friendly managed to get some free (my favourite price) dog crackers that were on clearance but wouldn't scan so we got them for nothing.

                            Bring your dogs and tuck in ...

                            No cheap king prawns this year :sad:, but I do have a half price bottle of Port.

                                Parties have been popular for many years.

                                My old pal Diogenes said, about 2,400 years ago,
                                "What I like to drink most is wine that belongs to others."

                                And I remember W.C. Fields saying:-
                                "I cook with wine and sometimes I even add it to the food."
