Has anyone heard from either of these two ladies recently? I know that EllanVannin was banned, but thought that she had been reinstated.

I miss reading their posts.

Downton Abbey I haven’t watched 😂
All episodes

I just can’t keep up with any episode of anything

I know I’m overly paranoid regarding these threads, but me and GSM didn’t see eye to eye but I didn’t report her either. I haven’t got the energy to report anyone

Who has?

I think I’ve missed a complete episode

Shades of The Mean Girls in the playground really.
Very sad.

* a concerted effort to get someone banned is just ridiculous playground behaviour *

Well said DamaskRose and yet, it’s pretty clear that has happened. Maremia, there was a concerted campaign resulting in a well liked poster, whose strong political views rattled a few cages - it succeeded. Efforts were made to allow GSM back, sadly to no effect

I’m sorry if Growstuff has been banished. It’s news n politics that often causes disagreements. Surely we are old enough to disagree without forming a gang with the aim of an irritant being banned (evidently not ).

Maremia Fri 13-Mar-26 14:05:53

You can appeal, and present a case to have Posters re-instated.

DamaskRose Fri 13-Mar-26 11:45:07

Because I’m old (and old fashioned even thought I am wearing my Lucy and Yak dungarees today 🤣) I hadn’t realised Growstuff had disappeared ie banned. I don’t think I can remember her being as deliberately rude as some are here. I always found her posts enlightening. I did not agree with many of GSM’s posts but I liked her when she was in solicitor mode and because she loved German Shepherds, which I do. A concerted effort to get people banned is just ridiculous playground behaviour.

I often need the head banging against the wall emoji but can’t remember the posters name.Hope she is well and esspee who disappeared too .
There used to be a poster MCM.? Whose daughter had/has the same conditions as my daughter ,if she still reads this I,d love to know how her girl is doing

I think Fanny decided she was spending too much time on GN, she had a new dog too, I think.

Very sensible 😁

JaneJudge Fri 13-Mar-26 11:03:14

I have never watched Downton Abbey or owned curling tongs but that is quite a thread confused

Where did Fanny go? she was here all the time and then nothing

I miss MissA too

I guess.

I’m quite bored with all the bits of my body that require attention. Hair is lucky to get one job carried out on it, let alone two😬

Anyway I think I probably only bought the brush because it was pink and shiny😳

My curling/taming brush blows hot air but it's quite old. It's a Vidal Sassoon one.

It's black (but shiny). The brush, not my hair.

Maremia Fri 13-Mar-26 10:25:58

And that's a good enough reason.

My DGD has pinched my curling tongs 😀

I bought a hot air brush last week that you can have.

I thought it would blow hot air to dry my hair but it just gets hot.🙁

Sort of curling tongs with whiskers………

Some do, some don't Lathyrus.
Rough dry your hair then use it?

Millie22 Thu 12-Mar-26 21:51:02

I can't remember exactly as it's a few years ago but FH was rude to a number of posters at the time. One particular one was upset as she was called something that rhymes with witch.

kittylester Thu 12-Mar-26 21:45:22

I think he/she reported loads and loads. Some people got banned because I suspect he/she bombarded GNHQ with repory messages.

Maremia Thu 12-Mar-26 21:35:43

Why would you be reported for supporting someone else?

Allira Thu 12-Mar-26 20:00:37

I think it was flying handbag that got a few people banned.

Yes.
Very unpleasant.

Grannybags Thu 12-Mar-26 17:26:24

Ok I take that back. I didn’t realise he/she got people banned

Millie22 Thu 12-Mar-26 17:03:55

No I don't either as he/she reported me for supporting someone else.

Grandmabatty Thu 12-Mar-26 16:57:35

Flying handbag was very rude to people and the stories grew more fantastical over time. I don't miss him one iota.

I thought she could be funny but obviously a troll.

He? Yes, he was, I believe.

I miss Flying Handbag!
