Previous GN obsessions

Shoes on or off indoors.

People not being grateful for presents.

People not sending cards.

Cycling on footpaths and/or pavements.

Which beauty/hair products are the best for....

Perfect Families…

(No such thing)

Definitely every year people being astonished what other families think is normal for Christmas.

Don't get me started MawtheMerrier! 🤬

The trolls ain't what they used to be either. How I miss onesies, plimsoles and the like
Oh, me too, Grannybags
I thought that the other day on the thread about school uniforms and short skirts!
Perhaps onesies in school colours should be the compulsory new school uniforms!

Any TV programme that you might mention that you like; several join in and say how enjoyable it is, them along come a couple of posters saying how much they hate it but that they've never watched it. 😁

BLM/wokery and the entire snowflake shower of them.

The (bloody) boat people

Ukraine

What is the best name for a grandmother?

Guaranteed that four posts in two posters will have declared that a Nan(na)(ny) is a goat, banana or (loftily, with nose firmly in air) a paid employee.

Is there or is there not a GN clique?

(Retreats swiftly to bed before anyone tries to answer that one).

But before I do, I've just thought of another.

The rise and (mostly) fall of M & S.

Very seldom poster - very long term lurker here.

Yes HRT/no HRT/menopause threads.

... or declare that it is "rubbish", whether they've watched or not!

I never understand this. There are programmes I would never willingly watch (Love Island, for one), but TV has to cater for all tastes so obviously we're not all going to be pleased with every production! I'd never insult people by telling them what they are viewing is 'rubbish'... people also watch programmes for different reasons - sometimes they just want something that isn't challenging or 'thought-provoking'... it can be quite cathartic too sometimes to watch a programme you wouldn't normally watch.

Some of these are before my time.
I feel I've missed out!

From the beginnings of GN.
Frank, his little dog, and him doing a Bums and Tums class.
Anyone remember?

Fond memories!

My favourite was a highly aggressive (and absolutely hilarious) bun fight about a woman in the HoC who wore a revealing top. How dare she....or.....why not? Some people took it very seriously whilst others were splitting their sides.

Does anyone admit to wearing leggings, having a tattoo and likes sausages?

Me! Me!
(But vegetarian sausages only - preferably Cauldron Lincolnshire ones, and definitely not the ones with bits of vegetable in them)

Daily Mail readers.

Me again. I’m the only DM reader on here

The OP never coming back or hating the advice they get

Scottish politics. That woman who just resigned, Nicola whatsit.

Did anyone mention handbags ?

Those threads certainly kept us busy!

Complaints about pedantry in Pedants corner

Misandry = OK misogyny = not OK.

Private schools.

Moving to be near AC.

How did you choose your GN name?
The Diana, saint or sinner one which is currently being resurrected, I see.

The OP never coming back or hating the advice they get

In a similar vein, a poster starting an ‘introduction’ thread to declare themselves a new member;
getting a warm and fulsome welcome; and then never to post on that, or indeed any other, thread again.

That really gets on my goat
