I noticed that the .ico for that page was the generic one. Any chance of a gnome one?

Did you notice from my earlier post that Bill Gates was at the International Gnome Conference?

My brother was right, his Bunnings is gnomeless!

I have a cache to hunt tomorrow, so I'll try then. Bah. I bet you anything there'll be a million gnomes in the shops come December [-(

I have spent a perfectly good Sunday afternoon trawling the net looking at gnomes.

I even liked a lot of them and am feeling the pressure to get more and put them in my garden. Is this what happens when you get one? (it is sitting on the kitchen bench waiting for the race)

I even acquired a second gnome from ebay for $1.95 for the race.

Is this how they are subversive?

I now own two.

Oh Gno!

It is all your faults!!!

Spoke to my brother, apparently the gnomes are there, you just have to FIND them, so I'll do that tomorrow.

Mundoo, I too am suffering the pain of finding gnomes I like.

I... I actually said "Oh, I can't use that one! He might get broken!".

My Sunday afternoon was spent gnome shopping too.

The first store I went into had some fiberglass type gnomes, so I grabed one just in case. Glad I did as all the other stores had nothing.

Will visit Bunnings during the week to grab a few.

Yea I know what you mean!
I am not laughing so much now thinking that I will have to go to Sydney (3 hours train trip, thats one way, 6 hours return) to find some Gnomes. Is it just me or is there a shortage of Gnomes out there?

I've been seeing them everywhere this weekend!

Grabbing some tomorrow from the local Chickenfeed. This is going to be fun!

The gnome display and competition included gnomes you could buy and paint. I think they were available from local hardware shops. Not sure which ones, but I'm guessing that the shops will have a few left over....

Wendy
I think it was just IGA's selling them? (and/or possibly magnet mart?)

anyway. i can not believe i'm going to participate in this.
..well, once i get around to finding victim..i mean gnomes to use for this. :)

All the best gnomes should be stolen and send post cards back home.

Score a virtual for the postcard on the way - how many gnomes does Pesky have on his front lawn?
