Thought I would share this with you...

So I guess that makes Greatnan a good egg.

My gran always used to say eggs are binding!!

I often found greatnan's posts to seem somewhat entrenched and left wing for me, but that of course is just my opinion and others will no doubt disagree. Have Movedalot and Mice Elf also moved on to pastures new? I seem to have missed a lot of comings and goings if that is the case.

What is wrong with sincerely felt opinions - even if you don't happen to agree with them, Ceesnan? I have made no secret of my left-of-centre leanings and you have made no secret of the opposite. We agree to differ. It doesn't have to make us enemies, does it?

No of course it doesn't, and I'm glad of that

I've just seen this. My 'pastures new' have been the view from a hospital bed and subsequent convalescence.

Hope you're feeling better MiceElf

for MiceElf wishing you speedy recovery

Sorry to hear that MiceElf; hope you're on the mend. number isn't around as much as usual, although she did post t'other day. Hope she's on the mend too.

I forgave Robin Cook because I had such respect for him as a politician. And realised that it must be difficult for a politician to be based in London for so much of the time and have a family elsewhere. Europeans don't seem to bother so much with the antics of their politicians, but then they don't pretend to be squeaky clean in those countries. Whereas in America so much mileage is gained by proclaiming how religious and happily married they are. If you campaign using those morals you should fall from power if you abuse them. Got to be honest as say that I still have the utmost respect for Bill Clinton as a politician as well so am a bit confused as to how I really feel on the subject. Maybe different people, different circumstances etc etc. Need to think this through a bit.

oops; wrong thread again ; must concentrate more!! sorry..

But, why did Greatnan go and did she announce it.

No she didn't make a song and dance about it. I'm still in touch with her and she hasn't had any nasty accidents in the Alps.

That's good news, anno. Just reading some of greatnan's tales of going 'off piste' made my knees ache.

Please give her my best wishes.

does anyone know how to copy/past the 1st post from nanapug .cant seem to grasp it in windows 8..maybe I need to post in tech..but would love to send it to a good friend of mine.

Highlight the text you want to copy. Press CONTROL C; then choose where you want to paste it and press CONTROL V. It's always worked for me.
