I tried, I really did......

I am quite new to GN so you don’t know me
curvygran Sincere apologies I'd like to, but you don't know me either! I wouldn't be unkind to a lady to save my life and we do have something in common ;
We have 2 sons in OZ, Melb., (one grandson) and the other in Brisbane (4 grandchildren)
My excuse is that I noticed you'd joined in with the senior girls in having a go at Grandad1943, tongue in cheek, of course, but the whole thread was not in the spirit of "being kind to other posters" '
I've only recently been "released" on a good behaviour bond, so it behoves me to watch my "Ps and Qs!
I get rather nervous when my name appears in a thread in case someone's coming for me!
Where are you speaking from,? A Mancunian by any chance? and where are your sons enjoying life in OZ?
Good Health

Bit unkind Rufus , I am quite new to GN so you don’t know me.It was an innocent question.
My sons are in Australia so I look forward to views from the other side of the planet .

Now there’s an idea Grandad1943.......because we are running very low on chutney!??

Rufus2, good to see you are upright and still going strong for there are so few of us males on this forum.

Indeed, I often think they will have us pickled and preserved when we go. Last of the few. ?

Stay safe out there Rufus.

Fatgran57 I've just made that its delicious especially poured over hard boiled eggs with a touch of paprka
What's that called again it was a 60's or 70s party thing wasn't it?

On holiday in Austria we had cooked lettuce as part of the meal many times.....not something I want to eat again.
Just last week I made a chilli con carne (DH likes it more than me) but anyway, I really enjoyed it, and DH had no complaints.A bit later that evening I realised that I hadn’t actually added any chillies.☺️

Has anyone seen Rufus on GN recently

Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute!
curvygran Who's asking? What's he done now?
Or have you realised that Grandad1943 has got the better of you all and now you're looking for an easy target on which to practice your "humour", i.e. this 92¾ year young OAP?
FWIW; he's been busy searching for a thread that implored us to be kind to other posters!
Also starting up a thread "Good Evening xxxDay" reporting in from "Down Under", which aims to be humorous and informative! Not very difficult!
Actually, I was very surprised that my name only appeared twice; I must be something right for a change!
Good Health.

Thanks fatgran57, looks interesting...I’ve got a tin of condensed milk lurking at the back of my cupboard, originally bought for a lovely lemon cheesecake recipe
On second thoughts, I think I’ll postpone the experiment for the foreseeable, I might need that tin ! .

Errors- apologies:
Was enjoying it at first.
Have skipped to the end to write this comment.

I haven’t read all the thread but was d joking it at first. Then grandad1943 made what I thought was a very valid point and from that moment (I read up to about p 5) almost everyone seemed to gang up against him, make fun of him and comments about his wife who none of us know). I thought it was appalling bullying and have W up writing to make this comment. Men have feelings too you know and even if he annoyed you with his comments please don’t start making personal remarks.

I'd forgotten about condensed milk mayonnaise -
love it but OH hates it so I don't bother making it anymore.

Stansgran, have you got an actual recipe? I’m interested in trying it!
Sounds like a rather weird version of Caesar salad dressing without the anchovies.

Yes, I think you’re the only person who thinks that Stan

Zut Alors! Monsieur Chen ne pas parler a lui meme.

Yes plus malt vinegar and dried mustard. Evidently it's delicious

Yes, in my "dinner party days" (many, many years ago ) I was known to do petit pois a la Francaise, but iceberg lettuce with condensed milk! Sacre bleu!

Am I the only person who thinks that Grandad1943 and SirChenjin are in fact husband and wife?
I wish they would launch their own thread and bicker away happily so we can hide it.
And furthermore petite poisa la franchise as my iPad would have it petits pois a la francaise works however bizarre it sounds. On the other hand talking of iceberg lettuce has anyone tried iceberg lettuce with condensed milk dressing - a kiwi. Recipe.

I'll thank you not to use the word Knob.

I was thinking about the poor kitties, perhaps they had consumed fur balls.

Greymar, I think I need a little more to go on there.......
Fur balls?

Lordy - and here’s me thinking we’re talking about cats who have sadly passed

Are you swearing Greymar if so Fur balls to you too with knobs on ?

Fur balls

Thank you SirChenjin - its okay, I have quite a black sense of humour and my daughter actually found it funny when I told her (much) later.

I do hope the cat you are referring to finally got a dignified burial!
