Why do you come to Gransnet?

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

OK Menopaws thoroughly chastened

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--

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

Me too. Non of that wishy, washy stuff

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!

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

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

I may have to have a Magnum now because I feel

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.

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

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!

They do say that eating a piece of cheese between meals helps keep the metabolism going.


That's my excuse today.

goody!!

It's all the beer that they put in the cheese Penstemmon
Or it could be the fermented anchovies in the Worcestershire Sauce
(I didn't partake, being a good two-shoes)

Recently joined - as retired in May so more time!
Mainly for the Forums and the chance to compare the differing experiences of life and the various ways we have of coping.

You all sound as if you have fallen, slightly drunk, out of Soops Kitchen or that other place that wants to be more 'edgy'!

Menopaws

Pity that is a bit ling for a strapline, but yes, it really does say it all

Well said Menopaws
