It's in the back of my mind when I'm on here that some of us have disappeared since the onset of C19. Who are we missing?

MawB posted yesterday
Meryl Has she gone or not? I hope not! Otherwise Jennifer's prophecy might be coming true. sad
When I enlisted in GN a couple of years ago she was "MawBroon" then later "MawBroon'sbackagain" and now a simple MawB
So there's every chance it's only for another name change!
Otherwise I'll miss our entertaining verbal jousts and she did thank me for paying her a compliment recently, which was nice of her. smile
Here's hoping!

I have recently congratulated Bikergran on winning a lovely prize- well deserved and nice to see a name I recognised for once. I did not check the date but surely it must be recent?

sharon103 Thu 28-May-20 16:05:12

Oh, thank you Charleygirl5. I must have missed it.

sharon103 Thu 28-May-20 16:07:28

Thanks to you too Marydoll regarding NanKate.

merlotgran Thu 28-May-20 16:48:05

Bikergran is still here.

Atqui Thu 28-May-20 17:11:21

Did someone say a poster had left because of “nasty RIGHT wing viciousness”? confused

Callistemon Thu 28-May-20 17:22:57

Atqui
I went back to check and, yes grin you are correct.

I saw Teetime today somewhere, was it the breakfast thread?

Callistemon Thu 28-May-20 17:24:33

Yes, Teetime started the Revolting Breakfasts thread!

JenniferEccles Thu 28-May-20 17:33:02

I think the RIGHT wing viciousness comment must have
been a typing error.

mrswoo Thu 28-May-20 17:34:35

Has anyone seen Phoenix recently? I always enjoy her posts.

Callistemon Thu 28-May-20 17:36:31

I think there is some which comes from all political sides.

Some posters may think the battering is not worth it.

farview Thu 28-May-20 17:44:57

Is Bradfordlass still around?

kittylester Thu 28-May-20 17:51:33

Saw phoenix not long ago! Hope she5ok! She did me a brilliant spell for my ex son in law - unfortunately it didnt work!!

phoenix Thu 28-May-20 18:00:21

I'm still here! (Just)

Thank you mrswoo I usually post utter crap light fluffy stuff, very occasionally venture into other territories!

(Usually with disastrous results confused)

GagaJo Thu 28-May-20 18:01:44

NOT an error. It was why Jura left. Don't believe me? Search under her name.

Still hoping MOnica is OK.

dragonfly46 Thu 28-May-20 18:14:05

Doramarr has not been around for a time.

Kamiso Thu 28-May-20 18:19:47

Atqui Really puzzling but down to perception. Interesting that all the "only an idiot ......" comments from the left minded voters seem perfectly acceptable.

I've cut right down on GN because it no longer enlightens and entertains. Just bitter people high jacking well meaning light hearted posts to spout their own political agenda over and over again. Boring!

Atqui Thu 28-May-20 18:35:01

Kamiso Exactly . Perhaps Jura was the victim of right wing vitriol , but it is definitely not one sided.Its a shame that people with different political views are Sometimes deemed to be lacking in intelligence.Still, When some people leave we shall probably never know the reason

maddyone Thu 28-May-20 18:41:41

I suddenly realised I haven’t seen notanan2 for several days, and she was a prolific poster. Hope she’s okay.

maddyone Thu 28-May-20 18:43:32

Still haven’t seen Monica or jura. I don’t look at all the threads though. Hope they’re okay too.

Lucca Thu 28-May-20 19:12:53

Can we please agree that left wing and right wing and no doubt middle wing like a good argument which should not then be described as vitriol or viciousness. I was told my comments were crass the other day for example but that was considered OK.
Just saying that cutting remarks are not the exclusive preserve of the left wing leaning grans.

GagaJo Thu 28-May-20 19:15:19

Maddyone, Jura left before the pandemic. She hasn't disappeared.

Callistemon Thu 28-May-20 19:16:53

I've probably 'known' jura longer than you, Gagajo, argued with her and agreed with her!

I hope she and her DH are OK.

bikergran Thu 28-May-20 19:19:54

I'm here ....lurking around smile

I have my passwords written down and if something were to happen I would ask dd to let GN know.

We did have a lovely gnetter whos sadly died and her son let me know as we used to email each other.

some of you may remember her as "Falconbird" a lovely gentle lady, who missed her late dh so much.

bikergran Thu 28-May-20 19:20:47

I did let oposters know as that is what he asked.(her son that is)
