If Radio 1 do play that wretched song.....

Now I wonder which threads those might be................................

I read that reversing polarity in some mountains (magnetic rocks?) was endangering the lives of climbers because their compasses got confused. The pages on GN threads are like that. sometimes they start at the beginning, sometimes at the end, whatever you put into your preferences. Makes nonsense of some threads. Except the ones which were nonsense to start with, you can't tell which way up they are.

I am 8/8.

O sweet mystery , who will solve it ?

This is better than sliced bread , I can bring laptop down here , watch TV and keep up with u gals

I'm still on one! But sometimes it gives other numbers. No rhyme or reason?

Oh! Mine says 4.

Pages (guessing). I only have four pages because I specify 100 posts on each page. The default is 25.

Elegran flip the thread.

What does "sixteen" mean?

ladies are allowed to change their mind !
Have to la\ugh am watching "MID" she is showing him yoga moves , I used to that with himself , when i used to go , how sweet we were when we were young , thought we could change Everything and teach them things .

He used to go along with it though , such a sweet man .

Weren't you going to watch Holby City?

Sixteen. I am sure Jo was not as far as number 8 when this thread started.

Look inside yourself Eleothan.

Gosh don"t want to miss MID. still, done the important thing , fed the hungry hunter and gatherer

"In case he gets blown up tomorrow" - is there a material difference?

I'm sure you understand that sentence but if not: People have to make up their own minds whether they have said or done something that they regret - statements of regret or apologies shouldn't be made to placate other people.

I don't understand how the Boston bombing has been dragged into this thread.

And, before you think too badly of me, yes, the thought of the little eight year old boy has crept into my mind at times during today, but tbh I try to shoo the thought away. I'm all cried out for the children in the news recently. Almost.

" But I think people should only express regret of their own volition and only if they actually feel regret."

What the fuck are you on about?!

I didn't actually mention the word "bombning". Your Honour.

Where are all these people rushing to defend me and my totally unrelated to the Boston tragedy joke?! I haven't seen 'em anywhere!

I've counted 2! (I think)

Nonu,are you sure you don't want to see Monument Valley in Utah? It's one of my dreams to see.

In response to a silly song, the original post states the country is "losing any semblance of moral decency".

Some people on Gransnet thought that a comment about blowing people up, though probably spoken unthinkingly and in jest, was unfunny and inappropriate, particularly in the light of the bombing in Boston yesterday.

Those who had expressed shock and indignation regarding the song on the radio and who subsequently criticised others for having a different point of view, now rush to defend the "bombing" remark.

It is perhaps unwise to claim the moral high ground and subsequently make, or support, jokes about bombing people. But I think people should only express regret of their own volition and only if they actually feel regret.

Shall we have a go now Greatnan? Dinner microwaved cooked and eaten. Forget about the washing up.

You first.

Must fly I will leave you and greatnan to it x

You are soo right , that is apart from my holidays , I NEVER find them tedious .

Sure you don"t find yor holidays ^tedious
