I have just been invited to a retirement party next week and the person has not invited any of his colleagues.

If they were that anxious to contact me, Frank I would think that they must have found a mistake in my records somewhere. I hope you were not as creative in the bank as you are online.

Elegran

The only interest I have in the bank now is my pension arriving at the end of the month.

Someone, methinks, is getting somewhat defensive. wink

Orca I can think of another word for it but am too much of a lady grin

I worked at a Day Centre and my party was a circle of adults with LD wearing party hats and singing to me. I was sat on a 'throne' and wore a crown. The manager refused to present my leaving gift to me, probably because I told the absolute truth about the managements lack of support in my 'leaving interview'. I wouldn't have had it any other way tho.I love all the Adults I worked with and I do not mean all the staff. The majority were fine but I wouldn't want a false leaving do, just with those I enjoyed time being with.

Utter gonads, dangly bits, spherical items, crown jewels, scrotum contents...

Been ransacking the thesaurus, phoenix?

Anne58 Sun 24-Mar-13 15:33:32

No, anno the list would have been much longer if I had! grin

Well I must be a very good person to be invited to that retirement party when I do not work with him.

Or he's desparate!

Jadey Sun 24-Mar-13 22:30:53

Why is everyone so horrid to this hunter I dont understand, I dont see the need to be horrid and so rude to him, if you dont wish to post on his thread then dont, but being horrible to him should not be permitted and I dont undersatnd why it is allowed to go on by GN HQ.

I have read his threads and they are not that bad, he is always polite and replys to anyone that posts on his thread.

So why is he treated so badly and why does he continue coming back after being treated so rudely!

Its usually grandma's and never granddads from what I can see.

Orca Sun 24-Mar-13 22:53:38

Probably because he talks a load of bollocks Jadey.

Orca Sun 24-Mar-13 22:54:20

He comes back as it's his mission.

Orca Sun 24-Mar-13 22:57:56

He's enjoying himself.

Orca Sun 24-Mar-13 22:59:00

What do you mean 'it's never Granddads'?

Orca Sun 24-Mar-13 22:59:31

Ana Sun 24-Mar-13 23:01:36

He doesn't always talk bollocks, Orca, that's unfair. I really don't understand why people are getting so incensed about his very presence on this site - at least he's never crude or suggestive.

Anne58 Sun 24-Mar-13 23:18:07

I'm not incensed, I don't have the energy for incensed.

Galen Sun 24-Mar-13 23:43:27

He's just obsessive, egocentric and boring![yawn] emoticon

annodomini Mon 25-Mar-13 00:08:28

And everlastingly repetitive. moon

Jadey Threads don't actually belong to the person who made the opening post. Some gransnetters have been known to get a bit fed up because the thread they have started has wandered off into a completely different subject but, other than continuing to post on the original topic themselves, there is nothing they can do about it.

NfkDumpling Mon 25-Mar-13 06:58:59

So, it's not going to be "Be nice to Frank week" this week then?

You're obviously a big softie where your DGDs are concerned and for that alone I still like you Frank. I may not agree with the way you go about things - or a lot of your opinions - but you certainly add a certain piquancy to a thread.

Enjoy your party!

Orca Mon 25-Mar-13 07:31:10

Ana sorry to be a grump but what is funny in small amounts just gets too much in overdose mode. And I'd have thought someone as kind and caring as yourself would find the egocentricity unacceptable.

Ana Mon 25-Mar-13 09:41:34

Orca, Frank's apparent egocentricity is part of what I find funny about him and his posts. I just skim over the long, boring ones!
