Who would you like to meet. That’s it really, though they must be living. And can we add GNers one would like to meet.

cornergran

Definitely two of us usedtobe, I’m with you.

Hmm, yes.

It’s a bit like Strictly, isn’t it?

Voting for your ‘favourites’.

(Obv not me!)

💃 🕺 😆

I really don’t like the second part to this post.
I find it uncomfortable to be asked “ who would you like amongst GNers” and not give a reason.
Are most of us boring with no personality?
Why not ask as well, who wouldn’t you like to meet and why?
Am I alone in this?

No you’re not alone.
There has often been posts from members bemoaning the fact that nobody recognises their posts.
I’m certain that there are members reading this asking themselves why haven't I been mentioned

Goodness, it's only a bit of fun!

I'm sure a large majority of gransnetters are probably lovely, interesting people.

The two I chose are - one - because she always makes me laugh, and the second because we frequently crop up on the same threads and tend to have similar views.

It didn't even to occur to me to get offended if I didn't appear on anyone's list.

Well you and I nearly met a few years ago UTBB when I came to Manchester to go to the theatre with Annodomini but I think you were poorly at the time.

It’s nice to be able to put faces to names and I have met some lovely Gransnetters over the years.
Naming names now (or worse omitting them) though might offend somebody.

Yes sorry to be a Grinch but I don’t have to like all threads and I was merely expressing an opinion.

Yes RosiesM I remember the occasion, Waiting for Godot I think and I couldn’t leave my H for any length of time.
I have met two lovely GNers in my time.

It was “Happy Days” with Maxine Peake. I’d never been to the Royal Exchange before and loved it.
Sorry that opportunity is unlikely to come again, I remember the awful strains you were under

I am more than happy to give the reason for my GN choices

MaryDoll - her posts make me smile, she has a lot of health issues, but somehow just carries on regardless. Added to this is our like (obsession) with shoes and matching underwear to outerwear!

FriedGreenTomatoes2 (Urmstongran) simple really her happy place is very near my family home and where my sister went to school. Our parents are dead and, our home has a new family, when she posts about it I can visualise and smell the air, bittersweet memories.

Whitewavemark2 we are politically opposite, but I respect her sense of right and wrong. I love her descriptions of her garden and would like to know how she designs her various flower beds.

MaizieD I have learnt more about a countries economics from her posts and links than I realise.

There are many more posters who I would love to meet, especially those who I have exchanged emails with. I am sure we would chat for ages 👍🏻🤣

I have made good friends through GN and we do meet up and put the world to rights ☕️🍰

I’d like to meet Queen Camilla. She seems very down to earth and friendly.

I’ve met some GN’s in the past which was nice.

I don’t feel comfortable naming GN’s I’d like to meet so won’t, and understand the reason given by usedtobeblond, too.

David Nash sculptor
John Walker painter

Silverlining48

and especially GermanSheperdsMum I hope she is thriving

David Hockney because I admire him and his work.
Robert Harris Ditto. Ditto Ditto

Miss Adventure because I have always thought she would make a great neighbour and we would have some laughs.
Whitewavemark2 as she is very informative and I agree with so much that she says.

God. I'd like to have a word.

I think I'm a bit too old for a glorified popularity contest .

Well being “right of centre”I don’t expect anyone to want to meet me ha. Think most GN Posters are to the left- but I like having other discussions on all topics really. I have learnt so much about life in general on here 😊

escaped

I'd like to meet
Jamie Oliver
Aled Jones
David Hockney

Gners would include
Maddyone
Callistemon
Urmstongran
but we've all had to change our names, so you won't know who I'm talking about now!

“But we’ve all had to change our names”

What’s that all about. Why did people have to change their names?

I have no wish to meet anyone famous. I agree with Usedtobeblonde. Picking 'favourites' reminds me of school. I would like to meet every GNetter,

I think there are a fair few of us who are to the right of centre to a greater or lesser degree.

kittylester Mt61: there are definitely right of centre posters, I am one 👍

#metoo. 😁

James Norton, actor
Judi Dench, same

My dear friend who passed away recently.
Have so much to tell her.
😞

I know why nobody on GN wants to meet me. It's due to my prowess on the Farting thread. Understandable really.

It’s so very difficult to name Gransnetters I’d like to meet, because there are so many. I haven’t met any Gransnetters except one, and that was a long time ago, and she hasn’t been on GN for several years now, and I’m no longer in touch with her.

Briefly I’d like to meet:

Escaped
Allira
Oreo
MissAdventure
FriedGreenTomatoes
GrannyGravy
Marydoll
Merlotgran
kittylester
Mt61
Nanna8
AnnieBach

I think there are more, I’ll come back later. There are so many kind, compassionate posters on GN. I have similar views to those I’ve named, but not necessarily on everything. It’s about life experiences that I’ve read about from those posters, and about their views. I’m right of centre too, but it’s not about views for me so much, it’s about the way things are expressed. I may not agree with someone necessarily, but if they express themselves kindly, then I’m more likely to read with understanding.

Oh yes:

Smileless too. I think she’s a lovely, empathetic poster.

I’d definitely like to meet more Gransnetters.

I’m going to stick my neck out.

I actually have no desire to meet anyone on GN in real life.

The beauty of this site is you can chat to others, discuss things, disagree, (courteously I hope).

Some posters you take to, some you don’t.

You can picture what they look and sound like, but for me, that’s sufficient.

They are like pen friends who you never meet up with.

My view only, and if others like meet ups and getting more involved, that’s fine.
