Does anyone else think that there is far too much petty bickering on GN

If you read the threads there is quite a bit of banter between members, I am sooo dissapointed at this because at our age we really should know better. It makes me feel un comfortable and I have actually been at the other end of such goings on. Really not sure what response I am going to get with this thread but can not help but be honest.

Looks like they've opened the madhouse again. wink

Yes, I've been on the mince pies and now plan to start on the booze. If DH has decided it is fizzy water with dinner he will be in big doodah grin

You don't do the 3 from the numbers along the top. Use the ones over on the right hand side. And press Alt left of spce bar) at the same time.

turns.

...but clearly not on here! My daughter also has a complex set of symbols that turn into a penguin. Too clever by half.

Movedalot I did and I do! [heart emoticon] to all of you. In fact on facebook <3 converts to heart ...

This isn't what they call banter is it *jingl? You'll be getting us into trouble! grin

jO5 Wed 19-Dec-12 17:17:01

Oh I've just seen the joke there. grin

It's not really evaporating is it?

Ana Wed 19-Dec-12 17:12:30

It does that, gracesmum, I've noticed it myself.....hmm

gracesmum Wed 19-Dec-12 17:10:59

Here we go again? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooshock

Who's had their first mince pie then? I try to resist until the week before Christmas or I am sick of them by the day itself - so today was my first (and second) The Baileys seems to be evaporating however blush

GrannyK just read the last couple of pages and you will feel loads better grin

After I posted I realised that it could be misinterpreted, but smile what I should have said is I did read your original post, but not every single response because of previous threads along a similar vein. I also didn't mean not bothered with all the people who took the trouble to respond, I simply meant (thought) at that moment "we've been here before so I know what to expect" and impulsively expressed that. Sorry!

CHEELU Wed 19-Dec-12 15:17:13

Emmmm you are saying that you could not be bothered to read a thread that someone else has written, water off a ducks back and all that has worked tremendously well for me after been given that advice by members on GN. Sorry but if you had read all the thread you would have known that I was going to comment.....

Grannyknot Wed 19-Dec-12 14:47:39

I haven't read this whole thread because I couldn't be bothered. Yes there is frequent petty bickering but I quickly leant to ignore it because it is excruciatingly boring - and predictable. I just do my own thing on here, people can take what they like, and leave the rest! There's a lot of warmth and friendship too, so that's what keeps me coming back. Oh yes and interesting posts too.

Ana what's wrong with a little bit of cheating to show you all my superior talents? [fsulk] Won't do it now and you will all just have to believe I am so very, very clever without any proof. (runs off to hide from the clever lot)

Ana Wed 19-Dec-12 12:20:01

Movedalot - that would be cheating! [superior emoticon]

Ana Wed 19-Dec-12 12:19:20

Sorry jingl, it should have been 9734 not 44
