I'm new here! Tell me about GN!

New posters who answer every comment worry me! Not sure why!

8sodapop* do you not think it a tad early- I realise you are only sampling it but even so----

I misread the thread title and thought it said " tell me about Gin" I was about to wax lyrical when I realised my mistake. I have just been given a bottle of lemon drizzle gin so I will let you know my verdict.

Thanks JaneA. I've always been fascinated by the Pre Raphaelites, even believing I might have lived in those days. Will certainly look at the biography you suggest as I like facts not fiction.

Right.
So, I'm inane and fancy myself.
I'm speechless

Marydoll and Bluesky if you want to know more about the fascinating lives of the Pre-Raphaelites and their friends, you might enjoy Lucinda Hawksley’s biography of Lizzie Siddal. It’s very well- researched and gives a great insight into their unusual lives as well as Victorian society generally.
Fanny Cornforth was one of their models but had a sad life, being in love with Dante Gabriel Rossetti who left her to go back to Lizzie Siddal.

However, I will read from now on, but no more posting from me! ☹️

I’m currently doing a course on artists’ models and “muses” and all I can say is that somebody fancies themselves.

That was actually meant to be a compliment!!!!

Oh for heaven's sake!

I'm unsure, Charleygirl. I'm afraid of saying anything, in case I'm bagged!!.

I have to hand it to the posters of inane and prolific threads, where do they get the inclination, time and energy??

Can you tell me what you are accusing me of please?
Then I might have a chance of defending myself!
Thank you.

Am I slow but I cannot decide if handbags are at the forefront again.

They are but heavily involved in plans for a bit of a do

Am I slow but I cannot decide if handbags are at the forefront again.

I believed the name was made up so I had to Google it showing my ignorance and I thought I was well educated! Well I've learnt something new!

Crackers, more like it!

I had never heard of Fanny Cornforth, it just goes to show what a philistine I am.
However, it set me wondering how much effort some posters make to choose a user name! ?

This thread is really taking the biscuit now.
I’m out.
?

I've no crisp bread recommendations though.
I favour a Cornish wafer or a water biscuit.

Nankate, yes I have been to Whitwick Manor several times!
I grew up in Stourbridge so it was quite local.
Wonderful collection of PRB paintings at Birmingham City Art Gallery too.

Hello again, I honestly don't know anything about 'handbags' (I do have a lot of them though).
I assume that you are accusing me of trolling?
I'm a genuine poster, I can assure you.
And yes, my husband is 27 years older than me. We met when I was 26.

Hello everyone.
I am looking for someone to recommend a hard crunchy Crispbread.
I have enjoyed Ryvita for several years now, but I am finding that recently the recipe has changed somewhat.
The firm crunchy texture which I appreciated, seems to have gone.
I am finding the taste now to resemble damp cardboard!!!!!
I would be interested to hear, if any of the ladies on this site, have experienced the same disappointment with Ryvita in its current recipe.
A recommendation for a change of brand, would be very welcome.
Kind regards to you all.
Thank you.
