If heaven was a shop..... what would your shop look like ??

Mine would be choc-a-bloc with beautifully scented blooms in a rainbow of colours...

[Nicola_Red]

Do you mean what would we want it to sell, or just what would it look like aesthetically? Or both?

[Vivienne]

I kind of meant... what it would look like ?? but selling's good too, I guess....

[Console]

Stupid question, what's the heaven part got to do with it?

[Vivienne]

I'm not going to explain to simpletons.

[Nicola_Red]

Oh, okay. Black with big red velvet curtains and matching chairs and stuff I guess, and nice 50s style pinup paintings and pictures of scantily-clad ladies. Like my bedroom, in fact. I'm an old goth at heart.

[Console]

I'm not going to explain to simpletons.

That's nice, but would you mind explaining it to me?

[foot-loose]

She will have meant it as a joke Console.

Its the way she works, insults people then covers it up by saying it was meant to be funny.

[Vivienne]

I just meant.... what would be basically glorious for people on earth (!!)... couldn't think what to call it, so called it basically the first thing that came into my nut. Hope this makes sense now.

[Console]

Couldn't you have just said, 'If you owned a shop, how would you decorate it?', except with worse punctuation and double question marks?

[Vivienne]

To be totally blunt: your title is much more boring... and, if you don't like it, well ... you can just take it away !!

[foot-loose]

Oh go on Console - wave yer modding willy!

[Vivienne]

It all gets v. petty sometimes... and often over nothing @ all.

[Nicola_Red]

Oh and I guess mine would sell designer clothes at 80% discount in sizes to fit normal people. Just to actually answer the Q!

[Vivienne]

thank you...!! normality now restored.

[Console]

To be totally blunt: your title is much more boring.

Sorry? Which title did I propose? As far as I can tell, I offered no title, but if I had, I find it hard to see how it could be more boring that 'If Heaven Was A Shop....".

It all gets v. petty sometimes... and often over nothing @ all.

You're right, perhaps poeple shouldn't attempt to insult one another over asking simple clarification questions.

[Vivienne]

well... you appear indeed to have proposed a title. And I don't think I'm being insulting or meaning to be nasty ... this is my brand of humour.

[Console]

I didn't propose an alternate title, but an alternate question. The title would have needed to change for it to make any sense, but this is one of your threads, so that wouldn't be a problem. And I don't think I'm being insulting or meaning to be nasty ... this is my brand of humour.

[Vivienne]

And it is recognised as such.... ok!

[Yudster]

If I owned a heavenly shop it would sell - actually it wouldn't, it would supply, free of charge - peace, security, happiness, love and contentment. It would be decorated in such a way that any individual who entered it would feel instantly at ease, whatever their personality.

[Vivienne]

I like that one a lot, Yuds.!!

[Nicola_Red]

See, Yudster is all deep and thoughtful whereas I'm just shallow and want cheap clothes.

[Yudster]

Your boutique will be next door. Never heard of the best of both worlds?!

[claradooblue]

Talking of other worlds. A Mr Ben type shop where you can just walk through a door to somewhere else would be the one for me. Put on a nice dress and ... there you are in Brazil.

[MK Chris]

Viv you have plumbed new depths with this one.
