I thought poppers.......

Isn't it amazing what people with money to burn get up to?

Amyl Nitrate ???

What about the poppers down below on the older foundation garment. I wore one to smooth me a bit at a wedding and it did the job nicely. Luckily I'd had the foresight to take a bra and spare knickers with me......just in case.

Just in case arrived at about 10pm.

yes I remember bracelet poppers - I used to love them.

I did hear the relevant gay MP explaining them on the Radio - it's some sort of muscle relaxant to make sex more enjoyable/slower, mainly for gays but also used by heteros. So that went well. Too much information to my mind, keep sex private to a greater extent and why on earth he had to be interviewed on Radio 4 about it is beyond me!

Petra, I'm howling here ??????

Actually i now precer buttons on duvet covers because poppers ( presstuds) seem to stop working after a while. ( i have to admit some of my covers are ancient single pnes from when my offspring were little, now used for grandchildren)

I remember the beads. Thanks for the memory.

Luckygirl, I am not sure in what context you were investigating poppers. Duvets and baby grows and party poppers didn't seem to be the correct answer.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Same as it's always been!

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!?

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>

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

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! )

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

Party poppers make too much mess!

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.

Oh, pill poppers!

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