Just to clarify - I have not been chucked out of a Wetherspoons, or indeed any drinking establishment (at least to my knowledge).
I was just being a silly sausage - sorry

Notinthemanual - what on earth had you done?

Notinthemanual Mon 03-May-21 11:04:31

Fannycornforth I was barred from Weatherspoons. My witty mum, who was still around then, said "Ah, you must have been raising the tone."

Thank you Grandma70s I feel happier now - I've done all those. Also, LadyGracie, I have had fun with Mr J not in a field but in a wood, such a long time ago! I think "Blanket on the Ground' inspired us.
I haven't
-Been on a cruise (never will now because of a health condition)
-Had a Facebook account (no regrets at all)
-Written a book (always wanted to)
The last one makes me a bit sad.

Had 'fun' in a field, it was always a goal that has passed me by.

I have never been drunk.
I've never been on a sledge.

FannyCornforth Sat 01-May-21 19:19:55

That's not really what I meant.
But nevermind.

GrannyGravy13 Sat 01-May-21 19:18:56

No problem Fanny we’ve all been there ??

FannyCornforth Sat 01-May-21 19:17:20

Sorry- my reply was to GrannyGravy

FannyCornforth Sat 01-May-21 19:16:01

Blimey! Now there's a question.
I suppose I just enjoy having fun and being creative in daft ways when the feeling takes me.
My life is a bit limited at the moment (even more than most).
I suppose I use GN a little bit differently.
It takes all sorts doesn't it? smile
I know that I get on a lot of people's wick...

It’s interesting reading this thread, thinks I’ve done that others haven’t and vica versa.
