Why are so many old threads being resurrected?

I have noticed over the last few weeks that lots of old threads are suddenly resurrected long after the original poster has gone.
Often the posters adding to the posts seem unaware that they are out of date.

I always watch that with bated breath Calendargirl in case someone misses their footing.

There are very few subjects that have not been discussed so they are bound to come around again. If a new one is started someone will point out that there is already a thread about it so it makes sense just to add to an old one.

Going off topic, but I wonder if Boris Johnson has a good singing voice? It’s just I notice he always looks to sing quite lustily at events such as at the Cenotaph this morning.

Of course, he might just enjoy singing hymns or he could be simply miming.

This has made me laugh ?.

Who knows, but it could also be that he is just very confident of his own abilities, or doesn't care if he drowns others out.

I have no idea whether Boris can sing, but if anyone enjoys choral music I have just listened to four choristers singing "In Flanders Fields" on BBC1 Songs of Praise. So pure, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up!

I thought he not only looked sombre but seemed very emotional. Perhaps thinking of his late father and also the fact that his mother is having health problems. I felt the tears weren't very far away.

Very much so Grayling.

When I went to the bottle bank this morning, it said on the radio that the Queen was not there as she had pulled her back? that may not have been the correct wording...

I would like to raise something. WHO suggested Alma's not normal? It was definitely someone on Gransnet...well....I watched two episodes yesterday with my husband who now refers to it as 'your sex program' He seems completely disgusted grin I told him it was recommended on Gransnet and he said effin hell grin
