How many Grandads do we have and are they happy to be asked things? Step forward lads!

Right....men were quiet because the football was on !! ...Summer house seems a good idea, then those that wanted to spend time in the 'shed' male or female could do so....but once your choice is made thats it smile ...as someone once said "Dont come a knockin when the shed is a rockin" grin Think it was Lil that said it..

nelliedeane Thu 28-Jun-12 23:09:17

Or even grin

nelliedeane Thu 28-Jun-12 23:08:50

[Grin]

Anagram Thu 28-Jun-12 23:07:50

Whatever you say, nellie! wink

nelliedeane Thu 28-Jun-12 22:46:38

Oh yes nag matron knows best it isn't domination it is part of the treatment meted out to sauce boxes who don't know their placegrin

Anagram Thu 28-Jun-12 22:41:13

Dominatrix nellie! grin
Is this allowed under the new guidelines? confused

nelliedeane Thu 28-Jun-12 22:36:27

nellie holds the key and will lock the saucy buggers in if they don't behave them selves....they will get a court martial....I'm with the sister hood.
I have had a change of career and now am Matron after using my nursing skills over the last few days and will be preparing a nice big enema for them so they suffer from any more verbal diarrhoea

Behave boys or I will slap your legs grin

jeni Thu 28-Jun-12 21:22:26

Agreed! But!

Anagram Thu 28-Jun-12 21:18:43

Probably sulking in their shed.
Sorry - couldn't resist! They are lovely gentlemen.

jeni Thu 28-Jun-12 21:16:36

The (gentle )men have gone very quiet?

whenim64 Thu 28-Jun-12 21:12:41

Yes Jacey - any user - I said females because I was riled about being referred to as 'gels' and reading that the gents were going to 'look after us!' Grrrr! grin

But, yes - let's move on and have some decorum! grin

Jacey Thu 28-Jun-12 21:07:05

Sorry Anagram crossed posts

Jacey Thu 28-Jun-12 21:06:09

How about ...agree not to be patronising to any user? grin

Then perhaps everyone will be happy? hmm

or we could just move on? smile

Anagram Thu 28-Jun-12 21:04:55

Yes - and of course it works both ways! smile

jeni Thu 28-Jun-12 21:02:58

I'm happygrin with thatsmile

whenim64 Thu 28-Jun-12 21:00:03

Oh dear, we're in danger of being as oppressive as the behaviour we have complained about. Can't we call a truce and just start afresh with an agreement not to be patronising towards the female users on here? smile

jeni Thu 28-Jun-12 20:31:08

Quite. They will try to woo her with (probably false) promises of virtual drink and sex, and then leave her weeping with a virtual hangover when they get bored.

It is our duty to show nellie the wicked way these men have. She is obviously naive, the poor young innocent mite!

Anagram Thu 28-Jun-12 20:25:46

nellie holds the key, though - will she show solidarity with us, or will her head be turned by the likes of gramps and Pete?
BTW, what's happened to Pompa?

whitewave Thu 28-Jun-12 20:19:27

Blimey! Grandads - you seem to be treading on dangerous ground

jeni Thu 28-Jun-12 20:14:29

If we can keep nellie off the thread, we could boycott it until they learn some respect for us gran's?

whenim64 Thu 28-Jun-12 20:11:36

Yes, the other threads can be on our terms if that's the grandads' rule! (how come all of a sudden, rules are being imposed?)

Anagram Thu 28-Jun-12 20:04:22

Yes, you're right, Jacey! hmm

Perhaps it's we who shouldn't be here! That'll learn 'em! grin
Leave them to their own devices (or just vices!).

jeni Thu 28-Jun-12 19:51:31

Yes. But we built it! I object to being patronised by either male or female GNers!
(give them an inch and they'll say it's 6") grin

Jacey Thu 28-Jun-12 19:41:52

jeni shock Anagram shock ...I thought it was called 'Grandad's shed'? confused

Perhaps we should have 'The Lady's Summerhouse'? grin

Anagram Thu 28-Jun-12 19:29:45

Yes! The Shed is a privilege, not a right!
