BONG ~ where is my cosmetics order, please ?

Have you asked the flower pot men?

Hi Mavis... I sent the Flower Pot Men an email...
no reply yet..... but good suggestion :o) Thanks.

your welcome.

:o)

I am really puzzled - who's 'Bong', Tt?

Perhaps the garden gnome has hidden it. ?

Hello Spritz...

Bong is my very favourite supplier of exotic cosmetics.
I miss him when I don't see him for a while...

Hope you find it, but i was wondering aswell who is Bong ?

Hello Tulsalady26 ~
Garden gnome was look VERY guilty this afternoon.
I'll put him near the top of the list of suspects.... Thank you :o)

Hi Clarice...
Would you please ask Smokey...
I think he might have some useful information for us.
Thank you. xxx

And here's me thinking it was a play on 'Ding dong .. Avon calling' !! lol Lovely blog TT :~)

Hello Sue...
You are very astute without realising it...
I'm sure Bong would agree and be having a giggle... :o)
Glad you like this blog.
A lot of work went into it ...
and I hope.... very sincerely...
... that it will be appreciated and understood.........

Cheers TT thanks for a great blog, got us quessing:o))

I understand now you've enlightened me, Tt! Love the photos....

Well done TT great blog.I guess that lets him off the hook then ?

Hi Clarice.... I know that Smokey won't let us down...

Hello Spritz.... Glad you like the photos... not very much suitable for photography in my garden right now.... but Conker and Truffle are always ready to star in my screenplays.... :o)

Tulsalady25... whoops, sorry, Tulsalady26 ~
Garden Gnome is still a suspect... please keep your eye on him... Thank you.:o)

TT ..... i too am waiting for a delivery :-(((

Long Acre plants short delivered a Tricyrtis at the beginning of October and despite ringing them and emailing them they STILL HAVENT sent it onto me yet. This is now over 3 weeks later.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Isn't it bad when things don't go right ?
:-(((

Hi Louise...

I've looked up Tricyrtis on the internet.... many different lovely varieties... no wonder you are looking forward to receiving yours...
...It is described as the Jewel of the Orient, but surely Long Acre plants is situated in Somerset... not like they are mailing the plant from the Exotic East ? more like the Wet West..... ? !

Good luck with receiving your Tricyrtis...
... and let's hope this blog has an equally happy ending. ;o)

Long Acre IS in this county TT, that's what's making it SO bad.
They said they'd send it on but it's now over 3 weeks ago that they said that, for goodness sake :-((((
It's very poor isn't it ?
I'll give it another week and then just ask for a refund.
I'm fed up with it.

Yes. Not easy to plan your garden work when plants arrive about a month late...
You deserve a refund AND a free plant of your choice for your inconvenience. :o)

I think it might be sleepy ask him when he wakes up. if not ask sneezy, he could be alergic not good .

Good suggestions Tulsalady 27,ooops Tulsalady 26....

Mustn't confuse the Tulsaladies....they are all very lovely :o)

Yes, please ask Sleepy,,, and, as you say, could be some of my plants causing an allergy problem and preventing Bong from visiting... I wonder what Bong would say.....

...he is very witty and usually has an answer for everything.
He could probably provide his own list of exotic cosmetics I could buy .....

Thanks for the laugh TT
Compost flavoured lipstick ! Are you sure you want that delivery ? ...lol

But I'm going to write the name of your evergreen climber down ( Pileostegia ), so I can remember it. I need something like that to hide an ugly fence.

Hello Hywel....
My toadstool flavoured lipstick is almost used up, so I really do need Bong to turn up soon... very much want him to be here...

The Pileostegia Viburnoides... I have two of these evergreen climbers... the one which gets more sun has grown faster... I don't think they grow as fast as indicated by some garden plant suppliers....maybe plant a Trachelospermum Jasminoides next to it and the two evergreens can climb up together ? There are some close-up pictures of the lovely TJ leaves at the top of my recent blog called "I used to LIKE you, now I LOVE you" ... I hope this helps. :o)

Thanks TT. I remember the blog with Trachelospermum.
I'm glad us guys don't wear lipstic lol, but I hope Bong arives with your goodies soon :o)
lol

Perhaps Postman Peat has purloined your goodies...or if it is a Postman Pat-ricia
she maybe has taken a fancy to them?

Hywel - check out my plants (page 5?) where there are some photos of pileostegia in full flower

Hello Andrew.......
I'll be checking out those photos myself. Thank you.. :o)

Hi Alz and the GG's ~
Postman Peat and his black-and-white Rat....?
...there's a song about those two !

Postlady Patricia ...she MUST be put on the suspect list...
... but Bong did promise to deliver the parcel personally, and I'm hoping if he realises how important it is to me, he will appear eventually..

Knowing him, he'll keep us waiting a while, so he can read more on this blog....:o)

Thanks Andrew

That Bong!! Honestly! I'm waiting too! That compost flavoured lipstick is just irresistible! (To flies, unfortunately, but the colour's great!)
BONG!!! Where are you??? :~))))))))))))))))))))))

i still dont get who bong is? please put me out of my misery...........

Hi Seaburngirl....
Andrewr has a wonderful yellow book garden where the famous wooden bears live... BRUNO and BARNEY....
Their names also being with B... just like BONG...
I wonder if that is relevant ?
PS. I love the rose on your avatar picture.
Which variety is it please ?

Hi Madperth...
Have you noticed how the compost lipstick changes colour with age ...?
... in fact it breaks down into a wonderful dark black crumbly mixture which is very good for the garden. :o)

Yes, but doesnt look quite so good on the lips!! Lol!

Others might disagree....:o)

LMAO!!!!! Great blob, sorry, blog, by the way!!

The only Bong I know is that infernal "Bing Bong" that you get on BR trains!!!
Either that or I am just too long in the tooth to know about wooden bears TT !!

ah.... that's useful information Alz... Thank you...
...It seems Bong may be arriving by train...
Not sure the exact age of the bear duo BARNEY and BRUNO....
...maybe Andrew will tell us..... please....:o)

still non the wiser tt.
the rose is 'New Dawn' awarded the RHS AGM 1935/6.

Thanks Sbg... I tried to find the rose on your photos via your tags...
but no luck...

Now you have me scratching my head ....weren't Barney and Bruno a couple of TV puppets about 20 odd years ago? What have they to do with BONG??!!!
For favour sake..put us out of our misery TT
I want my tea - and can't give this up until I know!!!!

the original photo was from my brother's photo file, with his permission so i dont think i have a copy of it.

but what about bong?

please, pretty please put me out of my misery

Andrewr is the Barney and Bruno expert...
... maybe those who have visited his Yellow Book garden will know more... or perhaps that's just leading us down the garden path... to his wonderful newly-planted bit on the side ? :o)

Hi Sbg....
Sounds like your brother has some lovely flower photos... :o)

I've just dropped sleepy in the water butt,(well he wouldn't wake up) he swares on Dopeys life it wasn't him. Sorry.

Thanks Tulsalady26 for your noble efforts in helping us here....
....very glad you are on GoY...xxx

That Bong still not turned up TT ?? Tut, tut ! ;~))

I'm still hopeful... :o)

im lost to Terra, i dont know who bong is, your not alone sea... lol

Hi Sandra...
I reckon you'll be delighted to see him.. and he'll hopefully bring those cosmetics... :o)

BONG!! GET YOUR BUTT BACK HERE!!! Please?

Bing Bong Merrily On High.....
We are waiting ...Why?
Bing Bong Merrily On High..
You've left us high and dry!!

LMAO!! Brilliant, Alz!

It might be a bit early for him yet ..... ??

Maybe a practice run....?

Great song Alz...
I hear Bong's distant cousins are that "Road To "couple..

Bong Crosby and Bong Hope... :o)

LOL !!

Not sure if I can keep awake much after 9 pm....
but for Bong... I will try..

I'm sure Bong would understand after all the excitement & trauma you've been through!

I have come to the sad conclusion TT - that you are "on something" tonight!!!
Either that or I've lost the plot.....and at this rate ...it will be the will to live as well......who in the name of the wee man is BONG Hope? If I'm right - then Bob's your uncle...LOL

About time, Alz! Lol!

whatever Terra`s on i want some plez , make it a double :o))))

This blog is a Terratoonie special....
.... I pray it does the trick.... xxx

Lets hope so! Me too, & smudge says me 3!!

Sandra.... what I'm on is something called relief at having a bit less stress than usual.... if I could bottle it for you... I'd send you a truck full. xxx

This must indeed be a TT special...we are ALL agog to know (a) what you are on ...lol and (b) the answer to this puzzle before we beat a path to your door and play BONG on your bell!!

I hear extra support from Scotland on its way..:o)

If we all sing a song .... then Bong might come along !!! ;~)))

The Bong and winding road ?

LMAO !!! It's a Bong way to Tipperary ?

Have you checked inside your wheelie bin tt? sometimes the put it in there to keep it out of the rain..............................

BIN BONG!

Mac

Good one Mac...
I was thinking of that movie King Bong... :o)

SCOTTISH Bong, Sue....!! How about Scottish support being tartan braces....they would go BONG if twanged...LOL

Lol. Don't forget Wallace and Gromit....

The BONG Trousers... :o)

thanx Terra im glad your less stressed, im still puzzled lol i keep looking back but cant see the clues, even though they are probably there, and barbara seems to have seen the light

AAAGH!! So I was barking up the BONG tree!!!

You are doing very well Sandra...
just keep helping us to find Bong and you won't regret it... I promise....xxx

It's the same old Bong, but with a different meaning since you've been gone ;~)))

Do you think if I get musical and play the BONGos it would help ?

Sue.... that is so appropriate....... well done :o))))))))))))))))))

is this just about words that rhyme with bong? or am i still being thick!

Every little helps!! I won't sleep tonight unless I get to know what is BONG with my brain,....it seems to have gone on strike.....BONG!!!!!!

Hi SBG ~ We are hoping that words that rhyme will help encourage Bong to appear..

have you see on GoYpedia Spring Blossom... your daughter is one of the top photos....! Yay ! :o)

News at Ten will be on soon

BONG

Well done, Mac.... If support from Scotland were the key to cracking this... we would be getting there.... :o)

A bit of Zeppelin......The Bong remains the same .... :~)

Mele kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaaian Christmas day....
that's the island greeting that we bring to you
From the land where palm trees sway......
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele kalikimaka is Hawaai's way
To say 'Merry Christmas' to you!

C'mon, BonG, for goodness sakes!

;-)
xxx

Good stuff, Brenda...

Do you think he's gone to Hong Bong ?

or Bong Kong ???

I thought it was Rod Stewart that sang "It's the same old song" etc....no?
Isn't he Scottish - or half S and half English?

but i'm too tired to get my brain to work.

I noticed you have chosen a few of my piccies. i feel very honoured. my lovely pets too.

..a 'bong' is, of course - not that I'd know - a smoking accessory beloved of the post hippy generation.....

For what it's worth....

;-)

C'mon Bong ..... my Sunset Cowboy !!!

Alli know is my brain has LONG GONE BONG!!!

SBG.... I'm just so glad you are on this thread with us....
thank you..... makes it all the more interesting...
your brain doesn't need to work....
and your daughter looks stunning in that dress :o)

On Youtube there's a BONG guitar...

The name's Bong ...... James Bong ..... ;~)))

BONG SUNG BLUE.......

Lol. really doing well there in Birmingham this evening... :o)
...and Scotland.

Nearly my bedtime.....

BONG THE BUILDER.... CAN I FIX IT ?????!!!!

We really hope you can !!!!!

Erm.....shouldn't that be BOB the builder???
Can we fix it?
YES we CAN!!!!!

BONG...it will soon be midnight....BONG!!!

And so say all of us, and so say all of us !!!!

Can't think what Bong the Builder (ahem!) has to do with cosmetics.....and garden gnomes....much less the Avon Lady.....as you will see I have been trying to re-cap and like I said before...have lost the plot!

Lovely blog Terratoonie, found this by acciedent, wonder why all your things never appear on my news yet I have you as a favourite.

Think outside the bong Alz !!! Lol ;~)

Come on Bong you've been gone too long! Does he wear a kilt?

Hi Morgana...
Nice to have you here :o)
This evening another member said that my blogs etc are not appearing on their news.... Hope it isn't happening to everyone...? Please let me know if so, and I'll contact management. !

Alz knows better than anyone I can't keep awake much longer...
where's Bong....?
with or without a kilt, Lily..LOL. :o)

Last time I hear a BONG was inside a grandfather clock!!

Not on my list either TT.

Nor mine, TT...get onto the boys asap.

Nor mine TT

have i bong to the dogs?
is this the sort of thing we are after?

yes and tt that dress has been worn a lot. you have to get your monies worth dont you.

Gotta go to bed!

Last thoughts:

Cosmetics = 'make up'

Lipstick = 'kiss'..............so........

Kiss and make up.......

I leave the Coming up smelling of roses bubble bath and the Evergreen 'grass roots' face pack to someone else!!!!!!

Or am I barking up the wrong evergreen, here?????

xxx

Got to go to bed now, can't find any matchsticks for my eyes......someone wake me if Bong is exposed.....wouldn't want to miss it!! LOL

Hi SBG..... Excellent...
and yes, that dress was a good investment wasn't it. :o)

Fabulous final comments from Brenda and Lily.....and well done everyone on your comments...
wonderful response, especially as apparently my news isn't appearing on members' pages !

I've messaged management....

Good night... and let's hope we find BONG very soon.. xxx

~didn't come up on my news either TT!

Goodnight TT. Sleep well xx

Checked up and you'd disappeared from my favourites. My brain is totally scrambled by the above - need sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Nite nite.

Bing BONG - At the last stroke it will be 22.10 hours precisely

Nite nite all......Cxx

Sue, that was VERY well deduced, methinks!! LOL!
Perhaps we DO need the GrassRoots facepack!
As for Rod Stewart, he claims to be Scottish, but..........??????????

Ding Bong! Avon calling!
There is a package for Tt it has arrived early at 23:40.
Thankyou to all I could not stay away after all those lovely P.M.s And this wonderful blog.

YES!!!! Welcome back, Bong!!! :~)))))))))))
You've made my week!!
XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Thank goodness your're back, Bob, I just couldn't make sense of TT's blog but now it has all fallen into place. Bong, the penny dropped!

Me neither Gee till computer went Bong and woke me up to say Bob had returned ..thats the Avon lady fired then Bob as dont have a door bell and she refuses to make all the right noises ...welcome back ..well done TT .

Personally I like to think it was threatening to come and visit you Bob that did it ..

Hey, hey.....It's Bob!! Yahoo!!! Bob's back....or should that be Bong's back?
Welcome home Bob.
No, I think it was my plea that we couldn't handle Ian without him, BB. :o)

4.15 a.m. and I'm in tears of happiness :o)

Anyone who is confused by all this... put Bobg into GoY google and see what it asks you. LOL...

Also had a message from Ajay who was nobly burning the midnight oil to fix some GoY glitches which meant you weren't receiving notifications of favourites' new blogs etc. I've just checked on Conker and he is fine. Going back to bed a happy bunny.... that's me... Conker and Truffle are happy doggies and Crocus is a happy budgie... See you all soon.. xxx

Well done Terra...brilliant blog...didn't have a clue what you were on about at first but after I did cotton on I couldn't get a word in edgeways anyway!!
It was lovely to see everyone rally round with love & support...& the occasional threat!!LOL.

See how hard we all work to bring a good guy back Bob?!! Good to see your face again! Welcome back.xxx

Morning ALL.....it's just 6am and this is quite the nicest wake-up call I could have...BOBG IS BACK !!!! Welcome Bob......we have all missed you and I did as I was bid and Goggled you and there you were..... BONG indeed. No wonder TT had us tied in flamin' knots....LOL
But - in all seriousness - it is good to have you back - where you belong, BONG!!
Thank you TT for leading us a merry dance last evening......even if you did cause me nightmares.....it was definitely worth it.:>>)))
Bing Bong Merrily On High.............Cxxx

Welcome home, Bob!!!!!!
Well done TT!!!!!

Love to just about everyone...off to work....06.10 a.m. TGIF!!!

;-)))
xxxxxx

Good morning my sunset cowboy !!! You're back where you belong. Life is SOOOO good ! :~))) xxx

Just look what you did to my computer Bob, just the thought of Bong being exposed made it freeze with horror! Haven't been able to get it back on for 1/2 hour since reading the wonderful news. So lovely to have you back, all is well on Goy now xxx Well done Tt

Hi Mavis, Spritz and Tulsalady26...
Yes, great news isn't it !
Thanks for all joining in this blog...and helping it have such a happy conclusion. :o)

I read this last night TT but I still don't understand what it means?

Hi Ian....
Nice to see you on this blog...
It means we have Bong back...
... and, at last....
I have the compost flavoured lipstick. :o)

Ohhhh, I see ................ ;~)))))))

Digs.... I promised you a Terratoonie Special... xxx

Three cheers for Tt - and another three for Bong!!!!!!!!!! Hip Hip...........

Thanks, Wagger....:o)

You did TT, you certainly did. Trouble is I STILL don't get it?

As a relative newby to GoY I hadn't a clue what this was about. Having read it all I'm thrilled to have found this community of warm-hearted people. Well done TT and welcome back BONG - even though I had not been aware you had gone away!

Hi again Digs...
What is it you didn't get?
Are you disappointed you didn't receive your order of evergreen grass-roots face pack with come-up-smelling-of-roses bubble bath ?
...or are you hoping Santa Claus will bring you the compost flavour lipstick ? ;o)

Hi Claire...
One of the wonderful things about GoY is how the comments all get out of sync.
Lol.
Yes, GoY is a wonderful global family of garden lovers, and I can tell by your photos and comments you are already fitting in very well.. Glad to have you on board. :o)

Great Blog TT.......... i had to laugh as i read the bit about conker in your wellie..... i read it as conker Peed in your wellie...lol ... think my eye test is due soon..lol........ better get to specsavers......

Lol. Holly....
Conker would have needed to stand on a chair to manage that... he he he..

Lol...lol...lol... : O )........... hows your weather........ its torrrential rain here today... its awful........

I am a newbie too,and like Claire,wondered what was all this about Bong.It was good to have a happy ending,and it has made me laugh at all the comments.What a mad lot you are !Think I will feel at home here,and welcome back Bong,whoever you are. :o))

Lol. Holly... I've just been talking to you about the weather under Truffle's new photo... Wet here, but not as yet the downpours you have at the seaside..:o)

Hi Bloomer...
Once again, you'll notice the GoY way of comments getting out of sync. Can make for funny reading sometimes, like that old fashioned game of Consequences. Lol.
I notice you joined GoY on Hallowe'en Night... that was very brave of you, wasn't it ?! Yes, I reckon you'll fit in well on GoY and I'll look forward to chatting with you over coming months.xxx

I think Bongs bin and gone on Strike!

Lol. :o)

So glad I didn't read this "live". Would never have got 2 work!

Very well done, Tt!!!!! And Bob, too, of course!!!! :-D

Thanks.. David...
I knew you would understand. xxx
... but don't you mean Bong ?

Of course, Tt! Glad that the sound of the bongos reached darkest Lancashire. Might have been forced to add some deafening piped music! :-))

Oh no, David...!...not in the kilt again ???
..or are we back to Wallace and Gromit and the Bong Trousers ? ;o)

Well TT I can only say I`m glad the parcel went missing otherwise we would not have seen those lovely plants, and had a laugh at the same time at some of the zanny answers.

Thanks, Stroller...
I'm pleased you like the photos of the plants and my dogs..
I had to get special permission from the actors' union "Equity" for Conker and Truffle to act in the story... Lol.

So, he's back - Bong's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt...

Three cheers for Bong all together now.
Hip pip hooray Hip pip hooray hip pip hooray.

Hi Tulaslady and Bamboo...
Yes, we're all cheering here.....
King Bong is back :o)

Hi,Terratoonie.Nice to meet you.I hadn't noticed the Halloween date.Come to think of it,I could do with one of your cosmetic packs,so I can take the mask of now its over !! Have used the broom to sweep the leaves up.Now, what shall I do with the cauldron ? Before I get lots of suggestions,I will use it as another planter.LOL. :o)))

Lol. Bloomer... good idea...
Another member joined on April 1st and didn't realise till some time later.... we've had a joke about that... she didn't mind.. Lol.
I reckon I shall be early to bed this evening, maybe after using that come-up-smelling-of-roses bubble bath...Lol.

You have a nice, relaxing, fragrant soak, TT, and a good old snooze...you deserve it!
Lotsa love,
B
xxx

Hi Brenda..
Need to get rid of the aroma of that compost flavour lipstick...Lol. xxx

Oh, ick!
xxx

LMAO!! I've decided I much prefer the elderberry lipstick myself, Terra, but to each his own!!
Welcome to GoY , Bloomer! Do you know what you've let yourself in for??
:~))

Awwww...ding dong bong...I'm so sorry to have missed all the fun on this brill blog :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
WELCOME BACK BONG xxxx and thank you TT for making all things possible xxxx
PS. "Believe in the Magic" :))

PPS. When I was a student, I can remember what "bongs" were used for (shock...horror...please don't let my kids read this!!! ;)

That was the dawning of the age of Aquarius, age of Aquarius ...... !! LOL ;~)))

For blowing bubbles!!!!!!!!!

Me heads getting bonged out with this damned website hehehe I cannot get a link to work and guess which link it is .......GoY!!!!

But if it doesn't work.....how come you're here ??? You'll have to explain in words of one syllabul, you know me and teccy stuff Bob !! lol ;~))

Doh! Just sussed what you guys are on about...bit slow today! Got the wind up!

'Doh', indeed, Fluff! I told Tt - I still don't 'get' it??????

Just catching up on all this morning's comments....
Unfortunately Conker has been reacting badly to his final dose of chemo, so it has been a stressful morning of trying to get the right medication from the vet... now achieved. :o)

Ding dong, Crazydi... Yes, I'm so pleased Bob is back on Goy !
Thanks for understanding the weird and wonderful intentions of the blog..xxx

and, Bob....yes, please explain yourself to Sue... she is waiting....
patiently...... Lol.x

Hi there Fluff.....
Glad you sussed it all... and pleased to see you here. xxx

Hi Spritz....
I've answered you about that on Conker's blog..Lol.

Conker's blog and Bong's blog are overlapping a bit...
...he he he... :o)

sorry Terra but i still dont understand what its all about, maybe im a bit stupid ;o))) x

Hi Sandra...
No you are NOT stupid...
My intention was that initially only one person ....Darling Bobg ....would understand it.....

P.S. Please send me another comment and you'll make my inbox reach 10,000 Yay ! :o) xxx

oh glad im not stupid and it got bob back, so thats good enough Terra, well done x

You and me both, Sanbaz - I understand that Bong means Bobg, who left the site and has now returned. What I don't understand is the bong reference - the only bongs I know about are often used by the "pharmaceutically challenged" shall we say, so I'm not sure what the connection is, really

Do a GoY google.

If you mean google Bong, that just takes you to this blog, Louise

i googled bobg and there are lots of bobg`s and differant subjects, is that what its about ;o( lol, im loosing it im sure heheh

Hopeless, isn't it, Sanbaz! When I first saw this blog, it did cross my mind that maybe Terratoonie had been at the Colombian marching powder...

put the word Bobg in GoYgoogle... top right....

press Search...
and you will be asked "Did you mean ..... ?"

What the hell is that all about?! did you mean bong, for goodness' sake. Mind you, I never use predictive text on my mobile - never forgotten it putting in the word "nun" when I wanted "mum". I mean for heaven's sake, how many times in your life are you likely to want to use the word "nun"?

.....or 'bong'?

Well in my case, Lily, I've probably used that word a lot more often than I've used nun (in the past, I hasten to add) but I take your point. ridiculous isn't it;-))

Yes TT, i see it there.

When you do a GoY google and type in bobg, at the very top of the page in blue writing i think, it says "did you mean bong?"

THIS is TTs play on words :-)))

Software is funny though - some years ago, I remember mistyping "jealous" - the spellchecker asked me if I meant Jesus....

GoY friends are very welcome to summarise this blog in their own words and give their own explanations.....
....that might help me understand it.... :o)

Bamboo, talk about dumbing down :-(

Is everyone happily sorted now ? hope so.

Tulsalady26... you've helped make this blog very special...
thank you. xxx

Thanks TT I enjoyed every minute . I think it does you good to go a bit crazy now and then.
Love to you and your babies xxxx
just realised does this make 200 ????? If so well done to you.

Correct, Tulsalady... 200 !
... and, yes, good to have a grin now and then...
love & hugs to you and yours. xxx

Well, hello Terra ! ;~)))))))))))

Hi Sue....
I'm really looking forward to your summary and explanation of this blog..;o)

Moi Terra ?????? ;~))) xx

Hope that that laugh didn't wake Conker up ?? xx

Conker has taken his head out of the wellie and is awaiting your blog summary.... didn't you do precis at school ??? Lol.xxx

Absolutely our kid !! Also did Latin ..... only for two years though ....!!!!!! ;~)))

Alas, I studied French and German instead...
no wonder we have trouble communicating.... lol..
Next time I write a Bong blog I'll provide a Latin translation.. ;o)

You are SO kind TT !! I didn't do German, but French ....... Voila !! Didn't pass the 'O' level though !! ;~(( Was told afterwards that I'd passed the oral but not the written. Hey ho ;~))

Yes, Marie... HOTTIE...
Lol. Sue... tell her she is on the wrong blog. :o)

Terra! LMAO!! I havent mentioned the hottie on THIS blog!!

Just looked back bab. Think it's you ....... tee hee hee !! ;~)))

YES .... it is YOU TT !!!! LMAO !! xx

So what's this about a hottie, then (or shouldn't I ask)?

We're waiting with bated breath to find out Bamboo !! lol

I STILL dont know!
But at least I know who Mary is!

Marie... HOTTIE ? You're on the wrong blog...
Check my outbox. :o)

Have done ..... are you being too subtle ... even for a Brummy our kid ? ;~)))

And for a scot!! Nice trick, by the way!! Caught me out good & proper there!!

Sorry, Mr Hottie Blobby will appear in one of my gardening blogs of 2010. :o)

Hatter !!! Gis a clue !!!! lol

LMAO! You wicked woman! Leading us on a wild goose chase like that!
:~}}}}}}}}}

Just came straight over !! Methinks perhaps that the Carlsberg (probably !) might have something to do with the reason for the Brummy thickness today ! Mr. Hottie Blobby ????? ;~))))

Dunno about the hottie, will need to wait for that I suppose, but Mary? Pack it in!!

I think the penny is dropping !!!!!!! LMAO !!! TT ....... you little b****r !! xxx

FOFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I'm STILL not sure !!!! LOL !! Hottie Tottie ..... BBBBBb****y hell ????

I'm giving up for now! got some work to do & I'm getting stiff sitting at this pc! See you in a wee while!

Laters bab ! xx

San The cosmetics bit comes from me, I said that ......erm .... hehe I cannot think what I said now 'coz I've had a sleep since, but I did make reference to Avon ... you know "Bing BONG Avon calling" and Terra took up on that.
Sue just to clarify things a little, when building a website it is made up of lots of code and I was trying to put a link in that, when clicked, would open the GoY home page but I could'nt get it to work at first, but I have now Yyyay!!!

Thats as clear as mud, Bong!

'Tis to me too Marie hehehe

Wouldn't it be funny if a new member joined using the name Bong...Lol.

Ah yes Tt, the hair restorer please, mine seems to have a distinct liking for disappearing down the plughole lately......in the meantime, where's that black wig gone?

Hi Lily...
You are looking much more beautiful than yesterday...
...what's changed ? ;o)
We have the Baby Biong hair restorer at our special winter price.
That's winter price, not Katie price... :o)

Why Oh Why,did I start it off again by placing my order.! will I get any commission on all the sales you are getting? :o))).You will have to be competitive in this retail market.I suggest a B.O.G.O.F.F. if you will pardon the expression.you could throw in some plastic toothpicks free if commission not forthcoming,but I will keep my receipt just in case they have been used for something silly,like gardening.Ugh,horrible thought.:o(((
By the way,can you tell I used to work in a supermarket?

Hi Bloomer...
great to have you to advise us....with your years of supermarket sales experience. :o)
Yes, your commission will be paid in the dual purpose white plastic plant labels/toothpicks.. but one get 1,000 free...:o)

Wonderful! About the Hair restorer.You must be physic (can't spell it ),as I am just going to my Sister in laws shop to have my haircut,so will see if she wants to place a bulk order!!!

Hope I don't start laughing about this on the bus,as they will think I'm crazy---
not far wrong I think.Anyway I am a pensioner,so thats my excuse....:o))

Lol.....then I warn you not to look at the banana photos on my latest blog. Lol.

Anyone want some Glyphosate hair remover? I don't need it. Mine's dying back naturally!

Lol. Ponty...
Surely there's a garden related cosmetic we could order to make your Christmas better.... something to soothe your feet ?

Don't think I need anything for my feet. There's a whisper my wife's getting me a buggy!

Maybe some tea bags ? Over on my new blog we're discussing the benefits of coffee grounds, used tea bags and banana skins... maybe you've used some of those on your orchard/jungle and can add your experiences over there please ?

I'll go there TT. In the meantime, I am NOT going to put teabags on my feet - so there. Anyway, who's been talking about my feet?? :>))

Lol. Ponty...
I think I'll have to put in an order for you...
the scratch-n-smile holly-leaf foot massager...:o)

Could I have vanilla & elderflower fizzy bath foam as well please?

Is it the BONG with luminous nose? Or has someone already suggested that? I am always the cows tail! Now there a suggestion. The cows tail backbrush for reaching into those far flung places that ordinary backbrushes don't reach. Sorry bit slow, but GJ in hospital having his waterworks inspected.

Hi Dorjac...good suggestion...
not yet mentioned by anyone else !
.... Edward Lear poetry ~
here's one verse...
Slowly it wanders,--pauses,--creeps,--
Anon it sparkles,--flashes and leaps;
And ever as onward it gleaming goes
A light on the Bong-tree stems it throws.
And those who watch at that midnight hour
From Hall or Terrace, or lofty Tower,
Cry, as the wild light passes along,--
'The Dong!--the Dong!
'The wandering Dong through the forest goes!
'The Dong! the Dong!
'The Dong with a luminous Nose!'

Best wishes to GJ. x

Of course it is Di ! lol ;~))

Oh, Di....That's a good one.... going to prove VERY popular with our regular customers... I reckon I better put in a bulk order for those special anti-wrinkle, air-brushing mirrors....

Let's hope Santa Bong Claus will be able to carry them all on his sleigh.... might need extra transport using Digger's new motorbike... I wonder if he'll have the repairs finished in time.???

any more last orders ? :o)

I need one of those mirrors too, please!
If the bike's not done, he can use his scooter!

A definite must for the mirror for me too Terra ! :~)

I'm making a note of these extra orders...
...the special mirrors look like being our very best seller...
could be a profit-making cottage industry either for Crazydi .....or for Ian...made from all the spare parts off his Kawasaki. :o)

I don't really need one as I'm very yoofful but it would make a good prezzie for a 'friend'.

Ah, yoofful Wagger...
...seems you need a large dose of our mint-flavour, porky-pie-shaped, "Tell The Trooff" tablets...
...for your friend ? ;o)
Shall I put your name down for the economy size box ?

Can I get some of those tabs for some of MY friends please? I take it they're to be used with caution!!
I also need (for my NON yoofful eye-bags & dark circles) some witch-hazel & cucumber eye gel, please!!

Sure that's enough Marie ?? tee hee hee ;~)))

Madperth...Just checking here...
is that the normal strength witch-hazel...
... or the extra-strong wicked witch-hazel ?
..which witch would you wish to order ?

LOL Terra :~)))

Sue! Not right now its not!! X~{{{
Terra! Definitely the wicked witch hazel, please, but not of the West, I'm an East of Scotland girl (sic) lol!

Marie...
we have a new product which you might prefer....
..... more appropriate ?
.....Eastern Prickly Pear eye gel ?
..not yet tested on architecture students....
...but has a great aroma...:o)

LMAO ....I actually just clapped my hands at that one !!!

Prickly pear? Shouldnt it be thistlemilk??????????
;~)D~~~~~~~~

Just googled It !! Me as well please Terra !! LOL ;~))

Just googled what, Sue?

Thistlemilk ! lol :~)))

That's a good idea - for my friend, Terra. ;-)))

It's great stuff, but the thistles are a b**** to milk, lol!

LMAO

It's true! :~))

Lol :)))
TT please make sure that the mirrors aren't sold to minors under 53...they don't need 'em ...;)
And can I be greedy and order some of those spiders' legs eyelashes what will make me look like Cheryl Cole?? Thankyou...I don't mind how much they cost, as long as they are not more than 50p.....

I DO need it, Di!! :~{{{{

LMAO Sorry for repeating myself ... I can't help it !!!

For doing WHAT to yourself??

LOL !! ;~))

Seems like after I went to bed, you naughty girls were busy commenting...:o)
and Di...are there any members on GoY under 53 ? ;o)

Don't worry...
nothing on the garden cosmetics list is priced higher than 49p....

Sadly, we have only one spider's leg eye lash left....
...do you mind wearing just the one..? ..could start a new fashion...Lol.

and.... would someone please explain how, at the weekend, according to my GoY profile, my place of residence changed mysteriously to AVON ?
Do you think Peter and Ajay are having a joke....
....ding dong bong...Avon calling..? :o)

A drop of hair-restorer, TT? Thanks for the thought - but a TOUPEE?? Thankfully I would have no use for it other than to line a nest in my Laurel hedge. Some people can be sooo cruel! :>)

We'll take your word for it Ponty .... honest !! ;~))

Yeah! Flying pigs over Brum today?

Oink oink !! LOL ;~))

Well it couldn't have been any of us, so I think it must've been A&P!
Or maybe Crocus has given your password to the FPP again!!

Lol :)) Avon calling TT....come in TT....we are calling you....:))))
Now then, about those spiders' legs eyelashes.....
Do you think I'm crazy????? How can I only wear one lash when I've got two eyes??? Must I cut it in half with a pair of secateurs??? I'll never get a kiss under the mistletoe unless I can flutter those spiders legs....sob, sob., boo hoo...;)

If she only wears one set, she'll look like something from a Clockwork Orange! Cant have that!! You'll have to go to Lily's shed & get her spiders, Terra!

I am a fan of the very first "Short Circuit" movie.....
..in which the "enemy" is NOVA.........
...and what is that backwards ???

...working on a new batch of eyelashes...
...watch this space... :o(

My Welsh Terrier used to celebrate 1st March with his Welsh flags..Lol.

I know about St David's day cos its the start of the fishing season & my Dad's from Wales. Also I tend to get birthday greetings a week early (I'm on the 8th) because he mixes them up!! Lol!

I would vote for most seductive eyelash but there's no point for me - past it.
Most fluttery eyelash is no good 'cos every time I try it I get asked if I have something in my eye.

Lol.... amazing acceptance speech Sue :o)))

OMG Sue...your mascara will have run long ere now ..find a tissue TT - quick!!
Has anybody told poor Bong what he is in for.....LOL

Thank God I wear waterproof ... !!! Wwaaaaaiiiiilllllll !!

What will you wear for the dates Sue ? Wellies ?

Retro ones Terra !! You have a picture ..... sob sob ....;~))))

What armour will Bong wear???

Terra ... not dates but date !! Who came second ???????? ;~)

I think I'm second at the moment but Di hasn't voted yet...Lol.
I could share Bong with any of you yet..in second place...:o)

Ponty... Armour or disguise ? :o)

Have just returned and I am dying to find out what is waterproof Sue....LOL
Keep the party clean, old girl!!!

Forget the armour TT, I think his best option is a good pair of running shoes!! :o))

If Bong were given a good pair of wellies, he could break the 100 metres sprint record in the Wellie Olympics :o)

Ponty !!!!! Are you saying that Bong would run away from one date with me ???? (Or two dates with Terra ?)

Alz.....psst ... the way that this could turn out, I think you can guess what's waterproof !! LOL ;~)))

As I see it he's threatened with SIX - and he appears to have gone into hiding! Or a monastery!

At least, once our garden cosmetics are delivered, we will all look wonderful... and have an alluring aroma ;o)

Oh no Ponty ! Our Bong is a bit of a 'night owl' ! When he sees what is in store for him, he will be over the moon !! Don't you think Terra ???

Don't ask me about being over the moon... ask Moongrower...
...full moon was yesterday...:o)

.......and heading for Mars.
I seem to recall that someone recently said "in your dreams."

LMAO !!

A Mars a day helps you work, rest...... and play :o)

I remember that !! LOL ;~))

So do I ...they are very moreish.....but they also put the weight on....my old dog Honey was given one every morning by the newsagent for the first EIGHT YEARS of her life apparently.
Her original owner didn't know any better obviously and let him do it..:<<((
Not much wonder she was 55 kilos when she was rescued!! Now down to 29-30 ..thank goodness!!

Well done on keeping Honey at a better weight...
Chocolate with its theobromine can be lethal for dogs...:o(

With it's WHAT ???
When I had my boys, the absolute was Cadbury's Buttons !! Not often !! Honest !

But when I threw them all over the floor.............OH ..... happy days !!! lol

Google Wikipedia... theobromine toxicity...

Theobromine is especially toxic to horses, dogs, parrots, voles, and cats because they are unable to metabolize the chemical effectively. ...

Soz Terra, but they both lived 'til 15. xxxxx

The MILK buttons are far less toxic actually Sue - so you probably got away with it - same as everybody else did for years...until the Theobromine - particularly in dark/black chocolate was identified as lethal. Like my recent escapade with Di and the 2lb tin of Roses chocs that she devoured in one sitting while I was out...LOL Not enough chocolate in that lot obviously to bother her......which says a lot for Roses chocs..ha ha !!

I'm not having a 'go' Terra or Alz.
The thing that I'm remembering is being down on the floor with my boys to see who could get them first !! LOL :~)))))))))))))))
