Do you ever feel intimidated?

I always hated that shop, now I know why!

Perhaps we should always let the OP have the last word. (smile)

Or perhaps we should try to get up to 1000 posts as fast as possible. Don't have to keep on topic, after all. [little devil emoticon]

Night night.

A long way to go bags.
Jura. Thank goodness, I can now return from sainsburys

Well, soop, me ole pal (for 'ole' read young and beautiful, if not quite so young as once was ), the other strategy doesn't seem to work, does it?

Hmm. Every time I use the word strategy, I think strategy-strategum, wonder, wonder, which one?

Heads dictionarywards....

Might help if I could spell stratagem! Will stick with strategy and try to recall that stratagem is faintly geological — gems in strata.

stratagem? They come from a Greek word meaning 'general'. Strategy is the general scheme; a stratagem is a particular aspect of it. I think.

Come on, peeps! We have some way to go yet. Onward gransnet so-o-o-oldiers..

Ah, oh, um. Thanks, anno. Ponders....

Yes, that works! Alongside my gems in strata idea. You see, the gems can be parts of the big bit of rock.

You do see, don't you?

Good punning, Bags.

Gosh - this is the first time I have opened this door/looked at this thread!

I can honestly say that I have never felt imtimidated. I am intrigued by the views of those with whom I disagree, and we can learn something from everyone. Neither do I feel intimidated by those who are clearly far more knowledgeable on a particular subject than I am.

I have subjects about which I feel particularly strongly, as do others, but I do not feel at all intimidated by listening to views other than my own. Inevitably there will be times when people express their views with some vehemence, but that should not be confused with intimidation.

I am impressed by all the people with whom I pursue a debate on here and find it interesting and enjoyable, and had always assumed that others did too.

It takes all sorts, as they say, and there are all sorts of grandmas which is great!

With you all the way Mishap

Can't disagree with that, Mishap.

You have my vote, mishap!

Bags...all I have to say is - Hey ho...hey ho...
Did the pic arrive?

Yes, thank you, soop. Sorry I forgot to let you know and say thank you. I was in the middle of something when the post came. It is a lovely memento .

Your hey ho hey ho made me think of the seven dwarves (Disney version)

Only 600 or so to go now....
[little devil]

Titter... Only 600 - should keep us out of mischief for a while.

Meant to say - should keep some of us out of mischief.

[pussy cat] emoticon 600 what?
