In praise of Gransnet & friends

Oh bless him and you. Mind you we can be party animals too as evidenced on New Year's

You're welcome Grannyknot, I enjoy your company too
MrA does moan sometimes if he thinks I'm on GN too much, but I think he also has a sneaking admiration for the variety of topics that get discussed, and some of the contributions too.

DH is always asking me what's occurring on Gransnet. He doesn't like to miss the gossip

If I had £1 for every time I've said 'according to gransnet' over the past couple of years I'd be rich now! Has even overtaken the gospel that is wikipedia.

Ditto for every time I've said 'it's a GN recipe' eg chocolate vodka, raspberry gin, creme de cassis, etc..

Yes - same here

My other half, is always saying, "is that you on that flipping GN again, whatever do you find to talk about" Next breath, "anyway whats going on , anything new"

Cheers, gknot! Like soop's abode in bonny Kintyre, where I live is quite isolated. Gransnet is a lifeline of company when I want it.

I second that

Even my Gardner asks what's new on GN ?

bags Well said.
MacSporran fully understands and agrees that my lovely Granspals have enriched my life.

I have been reading through the many touching messages on Going It Alone. Roderick is new to Gransnet. I hope that he finds supportive friends on this forum. Please check.

erm!! Grannyknot you have obviously chosen not to tell DH about our virtual parties lol lol with lots of not to mention the policemen and handcuffs (from previous parties) vodka jellies/punch bows/gin/inflatable friends and lots of fratanising goings on! shame on you

gk Re. last sentence. Likewise.

One of the most memorable virtual parties that I can recall, was held in my room at Ross Hall [after hip surgery]...the place hasn't been the same since. What's more, the hip got well in next to no time.

Sorry disagree. I think the best one was the one on Glastonbury tor!

Galen I couldn't attend. I heard that it was a blast!

My OH does not comment at all on my GN use. I have a sneaking suspicion he may have found out things I have said about him which in general are not complementary. He buries his head in the sand and refuses to discuss anything. Anyway he spends far more hours on his computer than I spend on GN.

What we got up to at Glastonbury would have made your OH's hair curl GN I never want to meet that Policeman again in all my life oh those vodka jellies have been the death of me at some of the parties,we must be due another one soon

Only been on here 24 hours and very much enjoy the company.

palliser65 most are quietly waiting for the men in white coats to arrive. The others are waiting for their evening injection.

!! horror! it seems I have missed a few parties !! I have lots no more than that of catching up to do!!

Parties? There are parties?

Our very first party - Halloween on Pendle Hill was pretty memorable. That's when the broomsticks made their first appearance and whatever happened to your inflatable friends, biker? What was it who got arrested?
