I thought I'd make just a little quiet place to sit and sing 'la la la' inside my head.
It's a special place where no-body gets hold of the wrong end of the stick and no-body feels insulted or marginalised.
La la la........
Nice to have some company! Have come to the quiet corner to have a gentle simmer about BT and lousy internet connection, but I'll simmer to myself and not disturb the peace
I've had the one 
allowed on my gransnet diet, but under the circumstances, and as it's Friday night......I may have another.
The roses sound lovely JessM. I used to live in Norfolk a short drive from David Austen...stunning roses!
Happily, my BT Broadband connection is now working properly. I too spoke to a charming person at their call centre. They were unable to help and I was advised to monitor the situation for 48 hours. A young relative told me that BT monitor Twitter. I tweeted a complaint about BT at lunchtime and it was re-tweeted later by someone else. Returned home at tea-time to find everything working perfectly and a fantastic Broadband speed.
That's nice isn't it?
I go away for just a few days and whilst my back is turned you all get together to share loveliness and peace without me - please may I come in and join you? I am much in need of both after a long drive home from a visit North of the Border, where I encountered a strange land named 'Motherwell'. I would, of course, like to make a contribution to the 'goodies' on offer in the shed, but have brought only battered deep fried lettuce and cucumber home with me, so I think perhaps I'd better not offer it around. Unless there are any Scottish people here who would like a taste of home?
I'm so glad that my lovely long lost twin baggy has already dealt with the candle situation as I too have the same difficulty.
Welcome back, GA! Looks like the Scots had it right first time with the battered lettuce and cucumber — only safe way to eat the stuff with E-coli on the march. 
Yes, I know I'm wicked but the last (admittedly media-published so probably wrong) statistic I saw suggests a death rate of 0.73% (less than 1 in a 100). I don't know what the usual rate is for this kind of bacterial infection but this doesn't sound like a plague to me. And yes, I know it's terrible for the people affected and their relatives but, to put it bluntly, as is my wont, this is how life works. It annoys me that the media whip a frenzy of panic about every bloody thing! Look at the damage that has been done to Spanish farming. Most of my sympathy (but not all, obviously. Sorry to state the obvious, but it's so no-one gets hold of the wrong end of the stick — not to mention the fence-throwing antics we have seen elsewhere!) goes to them.
And no, we never will beat all the nasty bacteria because they evolve to cheat our traps — because that's how life on our dear beloved planet works.
Good morning BtC, woke with a headache this morning, so thought I'd try the Quiet Corner for a while. Please don't make too much noise with those needles .
Perhaps we need a sound proof, "Rant & Rave" room, what do you think ?. Be a good place to de-stress.
Is it okay if I just curl up in the corner ..mind, I might not want to leave.
I will be very quiet.
I will just whisper this baggythecrust, my sister lives in Hamburg and the outbreak is awful for them. It is not just causing tummy upsets, these patients are requiring dialysis and it puts a strain on the system. Creeping out again
rilorian, come in and sit beside me. This is one of the best corners on Gransnet. I've made some nutty breaded cheese rolls and coffee. Would you care for some?
baggythe crust...your picnic sounds far tastier than mine...and a glass of chablis would go down well. Any left in the bottle?
baggy your focaccia sounds superb...may I have a little bowl of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip mine in please?
I wondered if it was a bit early in the day for , then realised, it all depends which time zone you set your clocks to, so cheers!
I have brought a bottle of home made pineapple wine, so please help yourselves.
The pineapple is quite crisp, I think you'll like it glass
I've also brought an experimental bottle of lemon balm wine. First batch...a nice bit of 'cling' around the glass....and very warming.
With the wind howling a gale and blowing all the drapes in our corner, something warming may be just the job.
Hope you like them.
