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

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

Yes - and of course it works both ways! smile

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

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

Sorry Anagram crossed posts

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

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

The (gentle )men have gone very quiet?

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 21:22:26

Agreed! But!

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

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

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

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

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 23:07:50

Whatever you say, nellie! wink

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

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

Pete Thu 28-Jun-12 23:35:17

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 Fri 29-Jun-12 11:39:13

Pete Fri 29-Jun-12 13:36:05

matron has been worrying about the increase of local elderly residents of care home admitted to hospital with a wide range of ailments arising from inserting objects,applying creams,taking and sniffing drugs to aid enhancement,a theft of amyl nitrate and glycerine suppositories and a wide range of sex toys which I have confiscated and a wide range of fruit and vegetables which are no longer edible and some really strange injuries inflicted with residents locked into painful positions .....have had to confiscate copies of 50shades of grey hair from the rooms of all affected.......virtual drink and sex......pour me a stiff one..now THAT is multi tasking..........matron

gramps Sat 30-Jun-12 13:38:14

OH Matron. Where am I and which year is iT?
Whathappened?

gramps Sat 30-Jun-12 16:40:02

Nellie, where are you?
Don't let Lil get me again! (so soon)

nelliedeane Sat 30-Jun-12 17:48:47

oh deargramps has that hussey been about your person and taking liberties againxxxx

gramps Sun 01-Jul-12 13:25:13

While looking for Pete,I fell into the ditch around the shed. (Whose idea was that -a "moat" indeed, with just a narrow plank to cross!)

Lil helped me get out, then took me back to dry me out. The horlics was lovely, then I nodded off. Next I know, I'm outside , freezing cold. 'Don't remember more.
'Think I'll go home now!

Bye bye dear Nell! xx sad

nelliedeane Sun 01-Jul-12 14:28:57

Oh dear poorgramps perhaps you had better see if matron can help you,why dont you pop a long to her clinic ......you obviously haven't been feeling yourself....

Ella46 Sun 01-Jul-12 15:17:56

Hey gramps I see that your favourite film The Italian Job with Michael Caine is on this afternoon,I hope you're watching it with Mrs gramps. grin
It should keep you out of nellie's hair for a while.

gramps Sun 01-Jul-12 15:58:16

Thanks Nellie for your advice re. Matron.

I had to stop feeling myself - it upset the dog, and we don't have one!

What time are Matrons opening hours?
