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

Frank

Looking back at Jadey's post , I think that there is an important distinction to be made, there is a member with the user name of Hunter and then there is the user name HunterF , which is Frank. To be fair, Frank does always put "Frank" at the end of every post he makes, not just the OP.

I do think that it's important to understand the difference, otherwise there could be upset and confusion, which is the last thing we need!

I think Frank is fun. I also belong to a weight loss and fitness online forum. On chat there is one guy who seems to be the butt of jokes and comments but he keeps coming back and obviously enjoys winding up others.

I do not think a Lot of people are mean to hunter , a Lot are quite pleasant to him .

I am sure he takes the bitter with the better , and shrugs it off .

I reckon Frank deliberately repeats himself to see the reactions.

Ana, funny/amusing or funny/peculiar? confused

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!

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.

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!

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.

And everlastingly repetitive. moon

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

He's enjoying himself.

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

He comes back as it's his mission.

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

Probably because he talks a load of bollocks Jadey.

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.

Galen Sun 24-Mar-13 21:31:28

Or he's desparate!

HUNTERF Sun 24-Mar-13 21:00:41

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

Frank

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

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

annodomini Sun 24-Mar-13 15:31:37

Been ransacking the thesaurus, phoenix?

Nelliemoser Sun 24-Mar-13 15:27:37

Phoenix grin grin grin

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