And the award for "The Most Stupid Question" goes to.........

chewbacca, funny that you ask.............

Waitrose do very nice biased bone fingers, they come in packs of ten.

ooh yes, I remember now ……..

Maybe a curse might be appropriate....?

Have you had occassion to use your biased boned finger of late Phoenix?

BTW absent I do actually have a biased bone in my body, it is very small (located in my left index finger, which I use when posting from my tablet) and it's use is carefully considered

Thank you absent for posting what so many of us think.

I think it would take a great deal to make Phoenix cross.

I'm off to Curse the Gammon

Absolutely Absent. Here’s to looking at the wry/bright side of life, whatever gets chucked at us! ??

Agree Absent

What a wonderful post absent! Spoken for many of us too.

Well said, absent. I couldn't agree more. xx

I like your post absent (22.12.16 at 06.23). Well, I;d like it if we had a 'like' button. I also agree with everything you say about Phoenix and Mr P

I am puzzled, a post address to me says ‘if you must know’ followed by another epistle , but I didn’t ask a question !

Many of us who have been members of Gransnet since the beginning have found, through Phoenix's postings, that Mr P's slightly idiosyncratic view of the world is endearing and delightful. We have developed real affection for him. Many of us have also developed a real friendship and affection for Phoenix who never lost her wry – and often self-deprecating – sense of humour, even when going through a very difficult time a while ago.

I do not believe, after some years of being "friends", that Phoenix is at all misandrist. I don't think she has a biased bone in her body. She just like to find the funny side of life. How good is that?

Windy out there, I blame the beans.

Ignore who? Is anyone there??

Not a breath of wind here, btw, which is very unusual.

Ignore the b***er!!!

Why bother to pretend to mistakes Grandad when you have managed to make plenty up to now.
And yes, I think we are all too aware of your lack of “edikation”

Phoenix, wid reference to yous post @ 21:21 today regardin me gramor, see I nevor got much off an edukasion.

Gosh, thank you for sharing your post of 21.26. Grandad
I really wanted to know (all of) that yawn

In fairness to the man in Poundland ours has a few items which are £5?

Hello all nice normal GN members!

May I propose that we stop feeding the ego of this excuse for a decent person, and declare this thread closed?

No need to post a response

I'd like to "here" the comments!

phoenix the wind is getting up here to.

So glad this thread is still up and running...

Anniebach, how you love to pick up on peoples personal lives and invariably fall flat on your face in doing it.

Since you must know, My wife works alongside me as we both started this business jointly in 2003. Carol went home at around 3pm after making sure all the wives, partners and other associates of all that were going to work late that we would meet them in this pub at 6:30pm.

As we never got here till nearly 8pm, they were all pretty merry by the time we got here. We are now endeavouring to catch them up and now knowing of your post; you should here the comments.

We are supposed to be working tomorrow for a few hours, but I do not know what sort of state they will be in (or me )if it goes on like this.
