Angela Rayner ghastly trouser suit

My dog wears a lime green collar. Does that count?

It’s irritating when posts are swiftly deleted because they breach GN guidelines, which then leads to doubts and outright denials that they ever existed from those who just didn’t happen to see them. It happens time and time again and skews many a debate.

Once a post is made and an opinion aired it should, imo, stand for all to see and judge accordingly.

Lime green! Had forgotten that one, and mint green and leaf green too.Mum worked in a small tailoring shop and one of my earliest memories is sitting on the floor while Mum and other ladies sat working at a huge table, and playing with a samples book.All the colours of the rainbow with names.
Chartreuse! Scarlet, Sky Blue, Cinnamon and so on.

So cute Joseanne green suits him😄is he a red setter or just a trendsetter? I like the little Union flag, so patriotic of him.

I’ve got a dodgy knee, so leg up and alternating ice/heat,plus the weather is awful ☔️💨

So much for my decision to spend less time on GN 🤷‍♀️

Oh dear, as a fellow knee sufferer, you have my sympathy!

Knees are very poorly designed, weren't they!

I think God must have been getting a bit bored by the time He got to knees.

The Union flag disc on his collar is so all the French dogs know how to speak bark with him when we're over there!
He's a golden retriever of the darker type.

Who was it who used to do the filibustering thing? It used to happen a lot when I first joined GN, but I was new, so the names didn't stick in my head. I think a few people were banned at the time, though.

I found it all baffling, as they ruined quite a few threads because they decreed they were boring, but their friends launched a campaign to have them reinstated.

Well, if you are thinking of the time that comes to my mind then that is not quite as it was and I think someone needs to put the record straight.

We had a very prolific and clever troll on here and he managed to fool a lot of people.
When some posters tried to tell GNHQ and also challenged the poster on threads, they got banned, very upsetting as one very popular poster needed the support of Gransnet at that time.
Then, when it was realised the new poster was not genuine, they were reinstated.

Report me if you wish.

Sounds like a difficult time back then Callistemon😲

Joseann do dogs bark differently in France? I’ve heard that animals can sound different even in neighbouring counties let alone countries.🤔Are French pooches more stylish?

It wasn't that long ago but yes, it was all very upsetting.

I don't report people, and why would I want to report this post anyway?

Honestly, I don't know if that's what I'm referring to. As I said, I was new, and learning my way around, and from that perspective I found that when 'Some Posters'* got sick of a thread they just talked about kittens or something to drown out others who wanted to have a say, maybe because they'd been out all day when the kitten talkers had had their own. It nearly drove me away.

This would have been somewhere around 2017/18, I think. Pre-Covid anyway.

* I use that term as I can't remember who they were - I think they were banned, so their names didn't stick.

English dogs bark – woof, woof
or ruff, ruff
French dogs bark – waouh, waouh
ouahn, ouahn - more like a howl!

I'm not sure what little yappers say in French because my dog plays with the bigger sort.

Babies cry differently in different countries... why not dogs?!!

My cousin has a French dog ( born in France) He is a Jacque Russelle but now barks in English.

Useless information alert coming ........
If you want to know how an animal speaks in French, you need to go to the verb to pick up on the sound made.
So " aboyer " to bark in French comes out a bit like woiw wow.

I bet he doesn't really, AGAA4.

There are newer studies now.
Just saying.

That study looks interesting, but I can't read it after the first sentence or two? I'm guessing there will be a difference between intonation in Gernanic languages and say Romance languages which the baby's ear will pick up on?

I wasn't being serious but thanks for the link about babies. I had seen something like that before.

I heard very little English until I was four, (Welsh speaking mother, no father). When I went to live in Brittany, France, as a teen, I picked up Breton in no time at all,nprobably because being Celts, the languages sound similar.

Just read a post on FB where someone commented that Angela Rayner’s outfit looks as though it has been kicked from one end of Primark to the other. 🤣

Since I started this thread I am now going to ask for it to be closed as I think everything that there is to say has now been said.

Has anyone been in the Primark on Oxford Street? I only went past on a coach but it looked really nice - clothes looked higher end than usual

that said, they have really nice t shirts and hoodies in just lately

Not Oxford Street, but the ones in Westfield, both Stratford and Shepherds Bush. My DgD buys a lot in Primark.

When we first moved to the part of Scotland where we are now, we reckoned the great-tits were speaking Gaelic.
