They think we are boring & sedate

Rather boring in fact. Do we really want to associate ourselves with people who obsessively talk babies, breast feeding and washing powders. Been there, done that, got the video and T shirt etc.

Now is the summer of my great content when I can do other things, go other places. Best friend has just returned from holidaying in Ethiopia and is planning a trip to Nepal, Whats more we can go cheaply because we can go outside school holidays and they need us more than we need them. How many of us provide free childcare at some critical time or another.

They make disparaging remarks about us at their peril

So! If you're old, how old are you?

I'm 69. I'm middle aged!

They do seem very preoccupied with their ages. I remember being a bit like that when I was middle-aged, then I thought sod it - if I'm going to be old I might as well enjoy it!

They'd probably get us sent for tests for dementia!
The thing that gets me, is that they're all so terribly earnest about it all.

Oops! ("they" Mumsnet) need to be told!

Exactly Gally Welcome home by the way

Dragonfly1 FlicketB is right need to be told about our parties and Bikergrans inflatable friends!

One day, not too far in the future, 'they' will be over here and 'they' will be very boring having been there, done that and said it all before. Just wait [warning emoticon]

I've done it. I've signed up and am going to be a MN lurker. I might even post....

Don't try too hard!

But they do not know about the underground Gransnet where we all let our hair down drink too much and sing bawdy songs.

I am member of both and feel most at home here.
Reading the MN thread it seems there are too many old people on there trying to be young....here on GN we are youngsters trying to act mature!

Oh, get over yourselves....

Pretty please?

Right Galen and Dragonfly1 please get over there now and tell them.

How dare they the cheeky B******S! Can someone still on mumsnet get over there and tell them to look in.

Member of both! But don't post over there!

Certainly I'm sedate and probably boring.

I've just been over to mumsnet to see what the fuss is about - hilarious! Are we allowed to use language like that on GN or would we be *Jingled* barred?

Boring or sedate, Galen?
(Certainly not both...)

Today DH said I was weird. But I do make him laugh. So I may be sedate but not boring, surely?

DD2 says we are like a comedy double-act.

I am actually!

Don't tell them Ana, they'll be joining in droves!

S*d it! I reserve the right to be as sedate and boring as I like! Or not as the case may be

Don't they realise there are people who are members of BOTH sites!??
