I'm new here! Tell me about GN!

Keeping with the alcohol theme, has anyone tried one of the variations of Jack Daniel's?
There's a cinnamon one, a honey one and a new Apple one.
I'm not usually a fan of whiskey, but they do sound tempting.

Just discovered who Sweet Fanny Adams was; an 8yr old English girl who was brutally murdered in 1867 by a solicitors clerk.
I though the phrase referred to mean nothing or very little. No idea it was anything to do with an 8yr old being murdered!

my granny was Frances but always called Fanny!

Re sweet Fanny Adams
I imagine that its use developed to be a more socially acceptable of saying sweet f* all.

Now you’re talking Fanny !

I’m saying nothing...... but I’ll have a gin if anyone is offering.

I'm just about to do my Tesco order.
Who knows what might happen...

Too late for me, my Tesco order’s on its way! ?? There’s always next week, I suppose …

There is a very funny Irn Bru advert about a baby being given the name Fanny, if anyone remembers it.

Yes I remember the advert Parsley....Granny’s explanation for baby’s name was, there’s always been a Fanny in our family. ?

I was just going to say that you can't adulterate whisky, FannyCornforth, but then realised it is whiskey, so that's ok!

pm'ed you Callistemon.

Thank you Ellianne

My DH, who is in the garden, has just come up to the window to see what all my hysterical laughter is about. My reply ‘A load of old fannies dearest’. ?

I’ll join you for a drink Lemongrove. A glass of chilled white wine would go down nicely. ?

NanKate I’ll join you in that if I may...?

JD is a bourbon, not whisky...x

I'm having a Guinness, dying laughing!

I thought bourbon was a bourbon whiskey (with an 'e')
Not whisky without an 'e' as in 'Scottish whisky'

What a funny word it is!

I sound like Miranda.

Have you been to Manchester City Art gallery FannyCornforth?
They have a very good collection of Pre Raphaelite paintings. I have been visiting every now and again since I was a teenager, to remind myself of how lovely they are.

As regards Gransnet, I like the News and Politics threads best

I'm just going to throw caution to the wind and show off now, because I am tracing a sketch I bought at auction some time ago with no signature.

It's a portrait which I've since been told could be of Lizzy Siddall (wife) but could be one of the other muses, who all look similar to me, by D.G. Rossetti.

I'm trying to get some more info at the moment.

The Victorian frame it came in was painted in possibly the '60-70's, in a psychedelic mix of lime green, purple and orange.

I think that's why no one else wanted it!

We'll look out for you on the Antiques Road Show, namsnanny!

Yes wouldnt that be exciting!
I'll carry a newspaper and wear a red carnation so you'll know who I am

Wow Namsnanny, how exciting!
Lizzie Siddal is much finer boned than Fanny Cornforth.
Much more delicate features.
FC had a prodigious amount of hair.
