  How about yet another new slant on Gardeners' World - just for a couple of weeks: bung Monty, Carol, Joe, Rachel, Sarah, Chris, Titch and Bob into a controlled environment and see what happens?
  
  My money is on Carol and Sarah having a serious barnie, Bob and Monty huddling in a corner discussing how much the programme is damaging the environment but at the same time redesigning the garden, Chris scything the grass (PLEASE?), oe doing all the day to day chores and I'm not sure about the rest.
  
  Any other possible scenarios?

  Monty, Sarah, and Carol could be locked up in that pretend space shuttle on an aerodrome in Norfolk and left there.
  
  Joe, Titch and Chris could be locked up in one of the American space programme biozones - probably the desert environment and see who eats whom.
  
  Then Chris, Rachel and me could be put in another group and it's a sad reflection on my bodily desires but I'm ready to admit that I want Rachel along to distract Chris so I can nick the helicopter!

  Ahhhh Alan I'm afraid you are too late! I've already nicked the 'copter, but I do occasionally lend it (and pilot) to members of these boards.

  I've actually had one hour and forty minutes "pilot in control" on a R22 and if you don't know that's a helicopter that you wear rather then sit in so a lovely big whirlybird like Chris's would be fantastic. I just love all those switches in the roof!
  
  I was looking forward to bantering with an old mate from school - he's flown for fifty years - but before I could say a word he said he had a go at a chopper for the first time - a Lynx!!!
  Don't you just hate it when they do that?

  Alan I don't know one heli from another - but I know sexy when I see it!!! I've only been in a heli once and that was to fly over Vegas at night - awesome, but there was a weird squeeking noise in my headset - until the pilot told me I was the one making the noise!!!

  Oh Baby - Come fly with me, come fly - let's fly away!
  
  Las Vegas at night eh? I saw the 9pm closing firework display at Disney Epcot, Florida from above - had First Class seats in a 747 so I was getting places before the pilot!
  
  But my real "lads dream" was meeting a load of completely crackers multi-million dollaraires they call the Confederate Airforce and sat in the front seat of a F4 Phantom (take my word for it - sex on a stick ) that once flew off the USS Constellation and had 20mm cannon fire damage repairs in its wings. Very unpopular in the skies over North Vietnam they were.

  Oh Plocket - me too!!! - and bless you for making me laugh!
  
  I've only been in a helicopter once, and that was a sightseeing trip around Manhattan - best $40 I ever spent - it was (as young people say nowadays) totally awesome!
  
  The Seedling, however, sat in one (on the ground) during the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games - we 'happened' to have gone out for tea at the hotel outside Bolton where the ´óÏó´«Ã½ choppers were stationed overnight, and I 'happened' to get into conversation with their chief pilot! Wot larks, eh, Pip?!

  To make Big Gardener's Brother really work, just add DG and Bunny Guinness. Light blue touch paper and retreat!
  
  For the posh vote, add James double barrelled with the cool hat!
  
  For the yoof vote, add Matt James (City Gardener, CH4).

  Excellent suggestions - how could I have forgotten DG and BG???!!!!!
  
  How about we get them all to vote which is the most well known gardener, or perhaps the best liked gardener?

  "Were" going to Obelixx? I DID hijack it! And the pilot came to the party at Christmas - not that I've seen him on the boards since for that matter. Perhaps he was another border in disguise.
