This thread has turned out to be unbelievably boring.

I don't know about troublemakers - I would not like to call anyone that - but several new people lately (can't remember who) have seemed to think Gransnet is a site for one-on-one personal chats or for dating, and get quite annoyed when no-one reponds on that level. Is there a misunderstanding around? Some mistaken publicity? Should GNHQ have a quiet word with them?

I don't mind being called 'Middle Class'....its a welcome demotion from the 'Posh' that I was always abused with when at school......and that only happened because when I was growing up in Swindon in the 60's my Mum brought us up 'speaking properly'..whatever that was!!!!!

Good point elegran - I wonder what relic, messenger et al have to say? Perhaps GN publicity is misleading orperhaps they are lonely and sad people who will give anything a try? It annoys when we give them a friendly welcome and get it thrown back in our faces. sad

I hope am not a trouble maker ,

soop Fri 23-Nov-12 13:27:39

london Certainly not. smile

Sel Fri 23-Nov-12 13:31:36

london hmmmm, there might be a bit of the Cheryl Cole about you...but troublemaker, no! grin

jO5 Fri 23-Nov-12 13:47:26

london You are not. Def!

jO5 Fri 23-Nov-12 13:48:49

Elegran - can't see anything wrong with having a quick one to one chat on a thread. confused

crimson Fri 23-Nov-12 14:47:48

I'm not sure how london got embroiled in this confused when it's all about the jenricks person? But I did mis alot yesterday....

I think these posters might be coming in from the Oldie mag. in this thread it sounds as if messenger and relichunter might know each other. Perhaps from a previous forum in the mag. Just a thought

jO5 Fri 23-Nov-12 15:14:17

I might buy that mag. sounds quite interesting

jO5 Fri 23-Nov-12 15:14:42

shock Hope that wasn't advertising!

gracesmum Fri 23-Nov-12 15:22:26

Sounds desperate interesting? grin

Ana Fri 23-Nov-12 15:26:00

That would explain it then! Messenger probably does want to know whether it's possible for octogenarians to have rampant sex...

london Fri 23-Nov-12 15:27:53

its just me been paranoid hmm

soop Fri 23-Nov-12 15:30:49

That can be said of any one of us [from time to time]...smile

Ana Fri 23-Nov-12 15:32:58

Jingl - get over to Lil's Bar, someone's looking for you! wink

jO5 Fri 23-Nov-12 15:37:19

You get in there NOW Ana! hmm

jO5 Fri 23-Nov-12 15:37:46

I got pressies to wrap up.

soop Fri 23-Nov-12 15:37:51

jingle I am a little concerned for Jenricks. If he/she needs companionship, we should try to help. You're good at sorting such matters. smile

jO5 Fri 23-Nov-12 15:46:17

Well, I'm trying!

Where've you beetled off to? hmm

Sel Fri 23-Nov-12 16:45:38

As a relatively new member, I'm confused - are j05, Jing, Jings and Jingle all the same people? Don't do this to me, it's confusing enough!!confused

jO5 Fri 23-Nov-12 16:47:31

Yes. It's all me. Sorry. blush

Elegran Fri 23-Nov-12 16:48:46

She changes her name from time to time, although that is not really allowed. Those of us who knew her in her earlier incarnations still think of her by her old name(s) She answers to any of them (or "oy you" )
