Hi all frugal persons,

I am looking for a get-together group or club or frugal course to
exchange ideas and learn something more about how to avoid pollute the
earth and being consumeristic.

I live in Southampton (Hampshire).

Anyone knows a venue where people meet to discuss about this?
Anyone is interested to start a group?

Many thanks.

I am also a beginner sewer and a crocheter, but this is another
subject. :-P

Thanks for any reply.

Cheers,
Stef.

Crotchety or not, if my wife began smelling like a sewer, I'd have
that talk with her about hygiene. ;-)

The only way to avoid pollute the earth is to kill yourself thoughtfully.

No such animal.

Your problem.

Yes.

Yes.

Is that in the sense of being only a small sewer with not
much shit in it yet, or at the start of a much bigger sewer ?

Niether of which are particularly frugal today.

Even one that orders you to shove your head up a dead bear's arse ?

Since dirt cheap clothes etc from china.

Even the materials alone usually cost more than the finished product from china now.

:-D

Oh, I see: I was convinced it was not the case, but luckily I have met
a real gentleman who knows it better.
Therefore, we all know it right, now!

And tell me, you touchy Einstein do you violate Usenet terms and
conditions because you are underage or because you have a very
particular friendship with the moderator of this newsgroup?

Have a nice day.

...and above all, about the spelling of a nickname which could be
everything...who says it needs to be a British nickname :-D

William, it is not worth it, let him stew in his own juice:
he might have been molested when he was a child and probably it's not
his fault if he is like this: we need to make an effort and be
sympatetic with him...;-)

Cheers,
Stef

I'm sure it is related to that huge stick stuck up his A$$. Just
ignore him. He is all bluster and no sense. His sole point in life is
to harrass people, and he is careful to never offer useful or
pertinent information in any postings.

Any 2 year old could leave that for dead.

Get one to help you before posting again, if anyone is actually stupid enough to let you anywhere
near one.

If someone (for once) agreed with him, would he change sides just to
maintain his opposite stand on everything?
