How many vases do you have?

[Cloo]

Six or seven I reckon... three or four in the form of jugs. They get quite a lot of use. One of my faves is a modern version of this antique salt-glazed one:

none, they are pointless objects. i hate knick-knacks and decorations.

They're not pointless! They contain flowers. Sometimes.

Random ornaments are pointless, I agree, because they make me think: Lovely dear, but what does it *do*?

But vases aren't in that category, they perform a useful function!

 

[Orang Utan]

flowers are also pointless unless they're in the garden

You don't have any house plants then?

god no.
i have a picture of my family when i was a kid and nowt else. and that was a present.

 

[London_Calling]

ditto. You've got to water the bastards if they're in the house.

Are you pulling our legs a bit here? Plants (and flowers) about the place have a beneficial effect on one's health and wellbeing, so they're not pointless at all.

Out of genuine interest, where do you get comfort and enjoyment from if you're so austere?

 

[Orang Utan]

i want to vote, but there's no option for me. poll is flawed cos it attempts to presume voters' reasons.

a chair, telly, books and music. and a kitchen for making nice food. i never sit and look about me, so i don't see the need for any fripperies like flowers or decorations. i like looking about me in other people's nice houses, but don't see the need to feather my own nest.

 

[Orang Utan]

and i don't think i'm being austere. i'm just indifferent.

maybe, but i'd neglect them and let them die and then they'd have a detrimental effect.
there is a dead plant in my bathroom and outside my front door that have been there since i've moved in.

Several, ranging from single stem efforts to large glass tanks. I have a friend who gives me a vase practically every year for my birthday - and always from the same shop in Herne Hill.

Luckily hendo buys me flowers fairly often. He has the florist's number programmed into his phone.

 

[Vintage Paw]

At least 5 I can think of. You don't even need flowers in them because they can look nice as objects in their own right.

 

[mentalchik]

O - but no poll option as i just haven't got one, no reason at all !

 

[cesare]

At least 20 ranging from tiny to big. I like vases and containers

 

[EastEnder]

Zero.

I am a man, living on my own. Vases have no place within my modest domain.

Dead flowers and plants are really bad feng shui y'know. You're jinxed!

 

[Orang Utan]

one day i'll throw them out, but what bollocks!

 

[Rollem]

2

i want more

 

[Griff]

Loads probably. Some bought and some left over from selling glass and ceramic ones in my shop.

Vases are so diverse. Wonderful things.

 

[fractionMan]

Vases are good in their own right. Flowers ruin em imo.

Ah, looks like a Leach/Leech! Nice stoneware.
