Hi all,i'm obsesed with the green man at the moment...NOT the one who flashes as you cross the road! The celtic one.Whilst on me hols in some place called llannassanan i found a very unusual one on a tree by a water mill.He was about 12ins tall and wide but under his face his hands where held out so you could put stuff in e.g bird food e.t.c.I've been on ebay and a serch engine trying to find one to buy,any one know a place i can find one?

Hello Grock, glad you looked after Lizzie when you were on holiday, i'm sure she can be very troublesome when she wants. :wink:
I'm afraid i haven't got the foggiest where you would get a little green man from, maybe you should have taken the one from Llannassanan, for a little holiday, you could have taken him back next year. :shock: :wink:

Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

It'll be good to see if I can still pull :twisted:
Lots of love

There's lots of places round here that you can get them from - all sorts of shapes/sizes and purposes! You'll probably find a few at Malvern too.

There's a big rusty looking man stuck in a field as you travel North...a bit bigger than 12" though

Perhaps that would do you :wink:

It's OK I am feeling in a wicked mood this evening

Hi There, I'm in Shropshire too and there is a great tradition of the green man here abouts. So much so that there is an annual green man festival every May day weekend in Clun. Its a great day, highly recommended if you are into all things green!
Theres a chap on Ludlow market who sells the green man in all shapes and sizes, I'll keep an eye out for the one you want.

But the Grock thinks :

1. Men are like ..Laxatives ...... They irritate the crap out of you.
2. Men are like. Bananas ...... The older they get, the less firm they are.
3. Men are like ......Weather . Nothing can be done to change them.
4. Men are like ...Blenders You need One, but you're not quite sure why.
5. Men are like .....Chocolate Bars .... Sweet, smooth, & they usually head right for your hips.
6. Men are like ...Commercials ....... You can't believe a word they say.
7. Men are like Department Stores ..... Their clothes are always 1/2 off.
8. Men are like ......Government Bonds .... They take soooooooo long to mature.
9. Men are like .....Mascara . They usually run at the first sign of emotion.
10. Men are like .Popcorn .... They satisfy you, but only for a little while.
11. Men are like Snowstorms .... You never know when they're coming, how many inches you'll get or how long it will last.
12. Men are like .......Lava Lamps .... Fun to look at, but not very bright.
13. Men are like Parking Spots ...... All the good ones are taken, the rest are
handicapped.

The problem with running around looking for little green men is that the men in white coats might come for you............... :D

But surely all women think of men that way...we have them fooled chaps :wink:

A piece of simple male logic....how would you find a little green man in a garden?....unless you meant 'green' in the environmental sense
