Thought I would share this with you...

I am so sorry to hear that Greatnan has left. A strong, sensible, caring lady whose posts I will miss.

Why different people like different types of humour is weird. I fall about laughing at Father Ted. South Park and such like, just don't really do it for me.

Now you're talking, Nellie. It was such a bit loss to comedy that Dermot Morgan died before his time. My GC are all hooked on The Simpsons which is one of the few shows that can appeal to all ages on different levels. Brilliant and satirical.

Gretnan all who wanted messages passed on. It's done!
I am now definitely to bed. Vim looking after DGD tomorrow while DD has arest! ( unless she's produced by then!)
Night all!

Just called in to see what's what and read that Greatnan has left! Galen please pass on my best wishes and hope that she'll do a J0 and come back to us.

I'm not at all sure jingl will come back this time.

It's like having moths. Once there's one of them, they're absolutely everywhere.

Mothballs....

Galen - please do pass on my good wishes to Greatnan. I know that her posts on the denied contact thread will have helped many people; and she has given me good advice in her time.

Ana So what would be the virtual equivalent of mothballs to rid the threads of this ubiquitous ex-member?

Which one?

Ubiquitous is a clue.

I don't particularly want to rid the threads of anyone, absent.

All the best to Greatnan, will miss her.

If not moths, then bindweed – creeps everywhere.

Did greatnan say she was going - why and how did I miss that? I've notice the lack of posts but thought I must have missed her saying she was going on holiday.

I will also greatly miss Greatnan, who having led (still leading!) an interesting and varied life was able to make worthwhile contributions on many topics. I have learnt a lot from her posts and come to admire her.

Greatnan - truly one of the Gransnet 'Greats'

Good toast granny23 - definitely a Gransnet Great

Ah, the mist is lifting.

Indeed Greatnan was a hugely valuable and highly valued member of Gransnet. I think she just went for her own reasons and saw no need to make an unnecessary fuss and comment about it.

Yes, Greatnan and J0 were very different characters weren't they?

Aren't we all? Aka Aren't we all?

Not a bad thing Absent variety is the spice of life.

Not that I see Greatnan as a spice, more a thickening agent, something that holds everything together and J0 ? probably chilli flakes, you need to be certain to add just the right amount.

Greatnan was never thick or stodgy and j08 never once recognised when enough was enough.

Absent you have misinterpreted me. I intended no insult to Greatnan, indeed I spoke of her as an agent for binding people together and I thought that was my point about chilli.

Please don't take offence where none was intended
