Aside from the virtual cake obviously... grin

It would be really helpful for us to know what you like about Gransnet, and what draws you to the site? Is it the general chatter and social aspect, the advice, the competitions, the word games, the articles, the webchats. If you were to pick your top three (or if you can't think of three then just one will do!) reasons for logging on, or what keeps you coming back, what would they be?

I posted in the kitchen a conversation I had with Mr Duster earlier today in the car after we had sorted out the loose ends for a project. ”Do you think we've actually achieved something today?" "Yes", he said "Cheese will be fine"! It may keep the metabolism going but it soesn't do much for the hearing!

You're supposed to put it in your mouth not in your ears ..........

Jalima, sorry, I know you said you were on a diet, but the other day I bought some of this "Montagnolo Affine" and it was just gorgeous.

I had cottage cheese today, a very poor substitute for the real thing.

I may have to have a Magnum now because I feel sad

But cottage cheese with pineapple is a truly tropical treat, surely better than a block of cheddar!

Chewbacca Wed 02-Aug-17 21:23:43

Never Menopaws ! Cottage cheese and fruit is namby pamby! You can't beat a good chunk of extra strong cheddar; onion pickle and crackers. I like a cheese to be strong enough to bite me back!

Marydoll Wed 02-Aug-17 21:31:37

Me too. Non of that wishy, washy stuff grin

Menopaws Wed 02-Aug-17 21:41:06

Let me finish. Firstly it is not namby pamby if you put marmite thickly on biscuit with said cheese(minus pineapple) on top and secondly get back to the Argy where I can argue with you properly rather than offend the real ladies on this thread. Then I will challenge you to a pickled onion eating competition Chewy if you're hard enough

Although Saint Agur is good too. Very versatile, good for adding to cheese sauces because it melts so easily. And Black Sticks. And Roquefort. And.........--my name is Chewbacca and I am a cheese addict--

Chewbacca Wed 02-Aug-17 21:47:23

grin OK Menopaws thoroughly chastened

Marydoll Wed 02-Aug-17 22:09:40

Sorry Menopause ?
You know I would never intentionally offend my café pal.

Chewbacca Wed 02-Aug-17 22:11:32

Better get over to the Argy Marydoll , I've put you up for a pickled onion and chilli eating contest. You'll be fine! No bother! grin

All too often to put off something useful I should be doing instead! I really am going to do that hoovering now...

love the friendly environment the freedom to be oneself and love the advice i get

For me, this sort of forum is rather like the chat I used to have with work colleages. Rarely do I make comments on anything serious - so unlikely to change anyone's opinion on a forum. But like general chat, gossip about soaps, (why is there not a separate radio thread?). Talk about what we do each day, etc. etc. New to this particular forum, but I do read an awful lot more threads than in which I post.

Menopaws Wed 09-Aug-17 18:07:42

Mary don't be daft, I don't get offended x
