To suggest that on this forum, there is more to be had than politics and games?

Not everywhere lemongrove my bit of Bucks went back this week.

The threads might be more 'discussion' and less 'bombardment' now.

As other posters have said, GN is generally a force for good with advice, support, fun etc.

Where are the schoolboy/girl posters I wonder?
perhaps they are all busy exhausting their grandparents.

and wont now it has lost some of the most vocal leftwingers ,might be a bit one sided
On the other hand, they could be a bit more balanced paddyann, I think there are still some left wing posters to give us their points of view and others who are centre left or just centre right may not be discouraged from posting now that they will not be called 'right wing' at every opportunity.

It is the school holidays

Because I'm easily amused.... I look forward to the regular thread 're plimsols, onesies and "the right footwear". The fast and witty responses from posters have me in tucks of laughter. Roll on the school holidays....

Thanks for the responses, they reinforce my own beliefs.

Just sorting of sounding out because of comments on some posts on another thread.

Its been a lifeline for me, as well as a source of advice when needed.
Its given me a kick up the bum when it needed kicking, and buoyed me up when I'm down.
P.S - I've laughed like a drain on some of the silly games threads.

Yes, I'll 'third' Chewbecca's post
I have gained much useful info from this forum and have shared some laughs and some sad times too
Oh and <whispers quietly> I like the games

Wot Chewy says.

typing quickly It definitely is much more than politics. GN is support for those who need it; advice, hints and tips; sharing life experiences, sorrows and funny moments; sharing gardening, cooking and household information; discussing pensions and benefits; discussing topical news items and, of course.... games.

News and politics is of interest to most of us and I think that more people, of all political persuasions, would have joined in more frequently but the atmosphere was, at times in the recent past, acrid to say the least.

I like politics so I enjoyed the forums ...but there are many other things that catch my attention.To be honest I dont post on politics much now either and wont now it has lost some of the most vocal leftwingers ,might be a bit one sided
