Has it got boring?

There seem to be some astonishingly dreary and dull subjects up for discussion at the moment. Have we lost our edge?

Night!

I'm not being a misery! #moretolifethangransnet hmm

Faye Sat 02-Mar-13 23:14:49

i should get out of the flay
Even get a job for the pay
Gransnet can get too much
Wasting my time and such
Time I went and enjoyed my day

Galen Sat 02-Mar-13 23:12:45

sweet Eglantine Cheer up. Don't be a misery

Galen Sat 02-Mar-13 23:11:12

No! More is less
Unless I confess
You have no fun at all
The purpose of GRANSNET
The reason we all met
Is so that life does not pall

Perhaps Frank was taking the mick out of the dreadful *Good Morning Thursday/any day of the sodding week" threads.

If he was, well done Frank #withyoualltheway smile

After not sweeping the floor
And heading out the door
There is more to life you see
Than wanting to be Queen Bee
Sometimes Gransnet can be a bore

j08 Sat 02-Mar-13 23:09:09

I'm getting bored with it.

You'll be glad to know.

Is Gnet becoming a bore?
Is responding to threads now a chore?
Once we threw in our lot,
Gave as good as we got,
Now the trend seems to be 'Less Is More' hmm

grin
To talk of decorum
On this type of forum
Is really a waste of time
The laydees of GRANSNET
Are more of a mindset
That thinks that modesty s fine

But when on a spree
I think they'd agree
That modesty goes to wall
For talk of decorum
Is fine for all um
That don't have fun at all

The grannies who post in this forum,
Are not quite queens of decorum,
Their joints may be creaky,
But their minds are still cheeky,
Like their knickers in days when they wore `em!

There was a man called Frank
Who only posted for a prank
In between bums and tums
And helping out with his friend's mums
You could not imagine his joy
To see how much he could annoy. smile

There was an old biddy from GRANSNET
Who said that her needs were well met
By gramps and by Pete
Who quick on his feet
Always got to a woman I'll bet!

Lilygran Sat 02-Mar-13 22:18:13

There was an old granny from Frome
Who was hardly ever at home
She would frolic and gad
But she took her iPad
And would GN wherever she'd roam.

Not rude, sorry!

Ana Sat 02-Mar-13 22:16:57

There was a young woman from Norway
Who hung by her heels from the doorway
She called to her man 'Get off the divan -
I think I've discovered one more way!'

Notso Sat 02-Mar-13 22:10:22

The old ones are the best....?

There once was a Gran from Devizes
With false legs of different sizes
One was small
Hardly anything at all
The other was big and won prizes

I'm no good at them, but some of you creative types must have a dirty mind!

Lilygran Sat 02-Mar-13 22:02:30

Go on, go on, go on!

sunflowersuffolk Sat 02-Mar-13 21:50:14

Yes it has a bit. Make up a rude limerick?

Well I've heard of ghost writers before!

Ana Sat 02-Mar-13 21:21:34

I agree, Ariadne. This is like a previous thread 'Have we become victims of our own success?'. Some members seem to relish controversy and confrontation, while others back away from it. It's a forum for grandparents, after all. hmm

Ariadne Sat 02-Mar-13 21:16:03

Mmmm, think it is so at the moment, but there is always a rhythm to this; if we wait, something will happen, but I'm not starting it! Oh no...

Anne58 Sat 02-Mar-13 21:12:46

Thought provoking, challenging, controversial, cutting edge.................perhaps not.

HUNTERF Sat 02-Mar-13 21:12:21

Come on Galen

Who is writing on this site.
