To think William Morris and Gransnet are poles apart

I think this thread will rate outstanding for its beauty! Not sure about its usefulness. Still one out of two ain't bad!

Joieann I know that you are far from common. Me, however…

Yes, I love the owl one too and the Alice in Wonderland one is so sweet

JaneJ I’ve got the JL Wm Morris dog bed; dog bowl and dog toy all in Hawthorn print

I'm a bit common. I've got all the dog stuff in the navy Joules material!

I love Voysey too! Especially the owl one, obvs ?

awww does anything ever beat his prints? I like the Charles Voysey ones too but he was part of the same movement

I always seem to miss the controversial threads!

Dogs and bones come to mind

also I thought my fact that his rage was so wild it would provoke him to have seizures was apt too surely they were limbic seizures though in todays money

Love is enough: though the World be a-waning, and the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining.

I'm off to examine my WM mugs

Yes, of course, they are relevant and there is a link because I often have a cup of coffee in one when I browse Gransnet.

Maybe they are thinking of that unofficial addition to the useful and beautiful, "which you love" ? We all have things that are neither beautiful nor useful, but we value them just the same.

Some threads have value, some are valueless but we still love them, particularly if we started them. It is just that posters' judgment of what to love or value differs from person to person. We aren't all the same!

I think WM and GN are very similar.
We swoop on the not so rich pickings, devour them, strut about, squeak and sqwark, spit them out, then flounce off into the blue.

I wish they would intervene on the threads that are obviously trolls. Its driving me crazy.

As GN’s unofficial Morris Correspondent I was intrigued by this too!

I’m a volunteer at Kelmscott!

How wonderful!
You haven't noticed any GNHQ moderators lurking around have you?

Are you LadyLeft!?

I’ll be the ‘Assistant Unofficial GN Morris Correspondent’ then!

I blame Jane Morris. She’s got wind of you posting FannyC and trying to sabotage

As "not in the spirit of GN" is now old hat maybe they are looking for new suggestions.
I like your idea Farzanah perhaps they could use"Jane Morris doesn't like it"

Another of their favourites is ‘not doing anyone any favours’

I have some William Morris curtains, that are both useful and beautiful. However, I fail to see the relevance on GN.

Some of the GN threads are useful.

I don’t think many of them come across as beautiful.

I agree it was a rather silly way to describe threads.

Also, I have stuff in my home that is neither useful or beautiful, but it doesn’t make me get rid of them.

You and we know that it wasn’t deleted because of the William Morris quote though trisher. In the immortal words of Elsa, - Let it go. .
