Garden Olympics

LOVE tossing the caper, but do you think it has a fuchsia?

Great idea Andrew! Love the comment stera!

Balance bean ~ gymnastics
Bean pole vault

Very boring but there's fencing!

Do they have climbers?

Swimming~ Butterfly bush stroke ?
" mile a minute" plant..sorry,can't recall its correct name..

Pentland javelin throwing? Runner beans?

Let's discus this further

I love the butterfly bush stroke! Stroke of genus lol!!

Lol,Tet..how about Hibiscus discus throwing? :o)

Tree day event..( horse riding...)
beanpole vaulting
I'm 'hedging' my bets a bit now that there won't be a
Tree-legged-race......

I've heard for the USA that 'Boston Ivy' is doing well but Virginia is just 'creeping along......
as for the Russians their Star player Vine can run a 'mile-a-minute'.....doh!

TThanks for jogging my memory,re mile-a minute plant,..couldn't remember it at all..Good ones,Pam.:o)

The Mexicans are expecting great things from their 'jumping Bean'

I can't get it out of my head.....:0)))

lol! LOL! This is going places girls...as they say about news stories...ITS GOT LEGS!

now Tet stop thinking of those mens legs in their shorts....

long juniper would be a good one Andrew :o))

oh well done sanbaz ~ i tried to think of one for long jump and couldnt

in fact San if you had 3 in a line you'd have....wait for it...'triple juniper'.....mutter mutter I'm off for a lay down in a dark room......

LOL! Pamg, you really do me the world of good..I can just imagine you slinking off, muttering like a mad woman...Let out a hoot of laughter, OH wonders what the heck Im laughing at...

made me laugh too pam ~ mind you that fencing from you is good too tet!!

Doesnt have the ring of a good athlete like triple juniper tho Sticki! Besides which, the thought picture of Pamg was just too much....

dont think you had better tell the fencers that tet!!

i did wonder about re-cycling??? if you run the race again??

Does the variety 'Skyrocket' count as a high juniper then?

are astronauts allowed in the olympics?? or should that read asternauts?

This is really hotting up..great one Andrew, but sorry, even better Sticki!

;-)

thanks x...... the weather was getting me down yesterday but this cheered me no end.....x

now!..... a Poplar event could be Willow hurdles it could Weed out the opposition... the Koreans would Pine for more medals.....
need coffee......

Need alcohol! I am getting exhausted with all this sport!

Sticki - I think re-cycling is the result of a false start

I believe there's a South American who will do well in the shot put - the man from Chile peppers the 20 metre line

Ready, Steady, get onion sets and go!

take your mar-guerites, get set and Go!

lol Pam and andrew,
nice one sticki.
does fencing count, not a plant but in the garden lol
butterfly bush stroke in the swimming :o))

the winners were originally presented with a crown of laurel leaves

there was aneuonymus runner who's bean asked for her thyme she said mind-your-own-business--- such a rude-beckia

thats really good pam!
made me smile even when im having to 'hold' on the phone forever!

ooh Sticki I really dislike that!

the call center man

not a man with a van

should beware of the wrath

of our Sticki

If she should find out

that he lives heareabout

she'll set Tet on him

pretty quicki.......!

you are so clever with your rhymes ~ and words pam. they never did answer so now they will be losing my business and i shall tell them why ~ i am taking it elsewhere ~ somewhere they answer the phone!!!

they don't deserve it!!

we keep getting those recorded messages from banks/ insurance companies, they start 'don't hang up this is important' or 'are you aware' Grrrr-- can't stop them as its a business phone.....

i shouted at some of them ~ i was SO cross ~ when i run down the stairs, in the middle of doing something and then its just another person either that i cant hear or understand or its the 101st person to ask if we want a grant for insulating the walls etc. we have registered the fact that we done want these calls but still we get them. and we dont have double walls so we cant have their insulation anyway!!! as you say ~ grrrrrrrrrrr

That sounds SOOOO familiar Sticki, I used to get angry and rude but realised I was only stressing myself more, so now I just quietly replace the receiver, take a deep breath and shout "YEE HA" (or words to that effect lol!)

i have sometimes left the phone off the hook ~ and they talk away but im off doing something else!!!

Just thought of another one ~ for 2012 it has to be ~ London Pride!!!!

Go to the top of the class,Sticki..best one yet :o)

Brilliant Sticki.... )( )( )( )( applause!!!

very good sticki and agree with the unwanted calls to, i dont get angry now i just put phone down, even getting then as early as 7.30am other morning and as late as 8.30 last week grrr

the trouble with the recorded messages is if you don't pick up the phone and speak it rings again-- believe me I've tried-- the most irritating call for me is british gas wanting me to swop to them-- I tell them thereis no gas in this area so good bye, usually they don't believe me and want a long conversation-- now its goodbye !!
