I thought poppers.......

There are those party popper things...

To close my duvet cover

There are some on the front of my raincoat

Why, has someone tried to sell you some, Luckygirl...?

I think the poppers the OP is referring to (obliquely) might be Viagra-type poppers.

??

They are some sort of 'legal high', yes. There was something in the news about them recently.

Oh, pill poppers!

I thought they were amyl nitrate, but I think the ones for babygros and quilt covers are more useful and party poppers are probably more fun.

Party poppers make too much mess!

Yes, but at least it's clean mess. (Just been looking at the dog poo thread...)

I have a lot of poppers at my house if you would like some Luckygirl

(They are rattling around in my sewing box, and I have three or four of those pliers to insert them too! )

I have no use for any sort of poppers, thank you very much?

I remember trying to sew tiny poppers on to baby clothes, terribly fiddly ?

I much prefer poppers than buttons on duvets, quicker to fasten.

<wanders off to make a cuppa, probably missing the point altogether>

Yes they are amyl nitrate and who would have thought we'd see a senior Tory MP standing up in the House and revealing his (legal) drug taking habit, with that drug being one that is used to facilitate a homosexual sex act.
What is the Tory party coming to!?

Same as it's always been!

I remember an MP died using that and strangling himself as well as other unspeakable things - he died. Quite extraordinary.

Never mind the Tory party, jess. What is the world coming to when nothing is private, sacred or too personal to "come out" with in public. I shake my head.

sacred? *Grannyknot?? but it did seem to me to be a case of TMI for the House of Commons.

Lol at my sacred. More like please keep it secret. Definitely TMI. What an idiot.

Whitewave. I've never been able to look at a Sainsbury carrier bag in the same way again.

Do you remember the popper beads that you could link together to make necklaces and bracelets?

Does anyone find it difficult fastening poppers on baby grows with arthritic hands. I certainly do. I just don't seem to have a lot of strength, and then get moaned at to hurry up.

I thought popper were jalapeno peppers with cheese.... totally out of touch
