Games Threads.

Now Merlot, remember you must live up to your name and bring a case of nice vino. ????????????.
If my memory serves me correct, (things are a bit hazy just now, I was out with the Air Vice Marshall and the Admiral last night) there are 12 bottles in case.
If you can't manage that, anything vaguely alcoholic will do.
Look forward to seeing you, I hope you have your party piece ready.

Just the one case?

I think I can manage that.

Well, if you have more, that would be great.
Meno and Lemon get very thirsty.
Chewy on the other hand is detoxing at the moment. She is so high ? on the fumes from her new flooring, that she forgot to put her vest on under her seven veils the other night. ?‍♀️I believe the Captain is still receiving trauma counselling.

Oops, is this a thread about a thread? I had better retreat quickly. Sorry , I'll get back to my games.

Read about the games threads so had to have a look, half an hour later ........

I know.....

I think on Mumsnet you can block threads you’re not interested in ( I might be wrong) but that would be a hugely useful tool.

The games threads are, for me, a place where there is good humour, friendship and a small degree of mental agility. And it's good to see so many new names on the games threads too; the more the merrier!

I started one about the situation in Ghouta but only got one or two responses.

Is there a limit to the number of threads that can be active? If not, then there would be room for many more.

I see that if I set Gransnet to "mobile site" on my tablet, I then get the facility to hide threads.
Could be useful for some.

I Agee Chewbacca there is fun and humour and sometimes a glass of wine, silliness and keeping the brain active on games threads. Long may they be...

I like the games threads, but why are some of them duplicated? I don't often look at them during the day, but pop in during the evening, often at bed time to help me unwind.

A couple were duplicated because the original game reached 1000 posts and then two different posters started the new thread, not realising that the other had also done so.

Anyway, I enjoy them and as Chewy and Sparkly have previously said, "A place where there is good humour, friendship and a small degree of mental agility"

It is also a good place for new posters to dip a toe in the water, non threatening and no chance of anyone taking offence. .

Thank you Marydoll

I love the Games,well some of them, abbreviation,last three letters,word pairs/association..
but there are some rather silly ones on there also!!

I like the silly ones. I can keep myself amused for hours on those.

Heaven forbid that grans are ever silly!

A place where there is good humour, friendship and a small degree of mental agility

Small?
Well, it could be small for some

Well.... I was being diplomatic Jalima!

I see GN as being a bit like an interactive magazine - there are serious topics, which I tend to stick with, but it's good sometimes to have a bit of relaxation with the equivalent of those middle pages with puzzles and the like, as well as the cookery, gardening, telly bits and the occasional bit of sport - especially when Wimbledon is on!

OurKid1 a very good analogy
(except that we are the contributors and on the www!)

Jalima - indeed we are.

I don't think there has been any suggestion that games should not be on GN. It would be better though if they had their own area as there are so many.

But they do have their own area - a topic called "Games". That title appears above every Games thread, and if you don't want to open one, you can ignore it, just as (we are frequently being told) you can ignore anything under the topic of diet and exercise, relationships, nature, science and environment, or even news and political, which has many threads.

I'd like to hide some threads and have my tablet on mobile site but can't see any hide option.
Can anyone help?
