    Pockets? In ladies' clothes? You jest ;-)

    I’m having a hard time thinking of inappropriate things to do with gnomes.

    It’s for people like you the internet was invented! ;-)

    PS I’m pretty sure this counts. [Don’t watch unless you have some brain bleach handy.]

  • Southerly: Village People, in reply to Joe Wylie,

    "We had to provide an image of them before they would sign off on the green wall going in the gardens, and my understanding is that they went through the Christchurch City Council and CERA to approve the whole lot."

    Security was also required. "The gnomes had to go away at night and be locked up, not left on site, in case someone stole them and did inappropriate things with them."

    [...]

    But he says Gardner, a recent art and design school graduate, took care with the "gnomification" so the models were in no way disrespectful.

    WTF?? Didn't think we were quite in Dear Leader territory....

    if we move to a rental in Christchurch, we can simply transfer our existing contents policy

    You may want to check if that's conditional on zoning. I have just moved from green zone to white and was dismayed to find when I rang my insurance company (State) to advise my change of address that they wouldn't necessarily cover my contents here. It took a detailed report on the condition of the house from my landlord before they said they would provide cover.

    OK, next time I'm getting dressed I'll seek advice before proceeding ;-)

    Lesson learnt, wear tighter trousers

    I think looser trousers are the way to go! Less conducive to bumble-panic. ;-)

    Can’t have Sofie get all the bee lovin’

    A couple of weeks ago a bumblebee flew up my trouser-leg and got stuck. It stung (or possibly bit -- I'm told they don't sting) twice and I got these enormous red welts on my calf. I don't blame the bumble, but it's made me a little wary of them!

    yes, I am mildly obsessed by it

    ;-)

    There were at least a couple of snow-dalek attempts in my street (not by me, incidentally!) at that time, maybe it's a thing? But none of them were in the same league as Emma's.
