Your Gransnet habit

I make my first coffee of the day after washing up from the night before and my breakfast dishes. I loath washing up. I boot up my laptop, check e-mails, Facebook and Gransnet. When I go away I almost get withdrawal symptoms from regular forays into the cyber world. Being allowed a quick ten minutes on my son's computer isn't enough. No other place to put this - on GN's Home Page is a photo and comments on improving ones garden. Why the odd photo though? Not a garden, or a park even, but what almost looks like The Cheddar Gorge. Comments please Gransnet?

Thanx Jo for the correction. Being a man I don't notice little mistakes I make - Till brought to my attn.!
Anyway, Who's an Oldie?

He's hallucinating again! Where's Matron when you need her?

Frankel, at last. Pete and I have been expecting you mate. We are vastly outnumbered.
Come and join us in Lil's Bar.
We'll take care of you and show you "the ropes"!

Pardon?

PRrrrr Prrrrrrr miaow and insinuate themselves onto
where you are sitting, or just left!
Then put themselves in the right spot to be tripped over as soon as you aren't looking!!

The Oldie is a publication. Gransnet is just this website.

What are you on about, gramps? Have you been at the home-grown produce in Lil's back yard again?

We'll look out for you Greatnan!
I "play" for the other side, but enjoy this "Mag" - Especially Lil's Bar.
Well - What else did you expect!

Seriously though, I'm very impressed with this publication!

Frankel If you venture to Lil's bar...be warned...

I do like the horse and I like the story of how it brought his trainer back to the top after some bumpy years. I like the name too. Thanks for all the kind comments. I'll look in when I can - I've been busy being Grandan all day today

frankel come with me to Lils I will introduce you to my very good friends pete and gramps think they might encourage you to stay and play xx

I try to look at GN every day when I'm at work - if work doesn't interfere! Don't always get a chance at weekends at the moment as DD and her family have been living with me between houses. My evenings are taken up with helping with the children, cooking, washing, etc. The weekends are pretty much the same. BUT they completed on their new house today. So I will be getting my life back very soon. I use my iPad to check in at weekends and evenings. If only there was an iPhone app, I could check in even more often!!

Unfortunately due to work and family commitments I can't access GN everyday, but on the days that I can I find that I am on and off most of the day. Sometimes just reading, having a giggle, sympathising (and I must admit shedding the occasional tear) I tend to post only if I have something relevant to add.

Nellie ...introduce Frankel to the boys in the games room.

Glad you've got them all under control, nellie. Good for you!

frankel go and have a drink with the blokes at LILS bar....drinks are all on the house while LIL is on maternity leave ..don't go

Congrats. merlot
Good result re. your T.V license.

ana my turn to cook tonight,If I cook I don't clean away,he was on hoovering and polishing duties today...ticking away nicely since I kicked ass and threw a wobbly last week ...thank you

Perhaps Frankel is called Frankel because he is his second biggest fan in which case he'll have to stick around.

You might confuse crimson though, Frankel seeing as you share the same name as her favourite racehorse

You're one of us now Frankel so stick around

I do agree about the 'special'. I've tried one or two forums in the past, but this one shines out for the intelligence and thoughtfulness of most of the comment - and the delightful humour from time to time.

Oh, don't go Frankel! It's good to get a male slant on things sometimes, and you seem to fit in just fine.

I have mentioned gransnet to people and, being a bloke, they probably think I'm odd. I am not myself sure that this is a place for a man so I may just fade away. It's a longish story but I was invited to register to post an e-petition and I have hung around since. I do feel like an outsider but the topics are varied and the discussion is polite, maybe because there are not too many men around. In another place I have been online, discussion of politics and religion have been banned because the 'debate' invariably became a slanging match. Whether I stay or go, I think gransnet is a bit special.
