Grumpiness!!

If people can grump, or have a go at someone they do. This was never the case in earlier times.

I’m not talking about the N&P threads because they are different, I am talking about what May start off as cheerful, jolly, fellow man well met sort of threads which descend almost immediately into grump, grump moan, moan, criticise, criticise, argue, argue.

Sad isn’t it?

And he was good in the series 'Only Child'

Gregor Fisher is very good in the comedy series The Cockfields, set in the Isle Of Wight.Written and starring Joe Wilkinson, wish he’d write another series.

Wow! The guy in the vest is drop dead gorgeous 😂I bet he likes a pint and a fun time.

Allira Wed 02-Jul-25 12:20:53

He does scrub up well when you take charge of him, Marydoll!

Allira Wed 02-Jul-25 12:11:30

Oh dear, give him my apologies.
I should have asked you to iron him a clean whitevest first!

Marydoll Wed 02-Jul-25 11:33:30

Allira

Oh dear, it's all gone quiet.

Sorry Marydoll, I shouldn't have outed you blush

Alira, Rab is raging that you published his photo, before he got a chance to put on a clean vest (or semmit) as we call it in Glasgow.😂

Marydoll I see you as tiny and red haired a bit like Lulu, but people are usually wrong with guesswork.

You are close! 😂

We all know what Marydoll looks like 😂
Here she is with Mr M!

Agree Merlot.

Sorry to disappoint - 5'5", size 14/16 highlighted mousy hair. Obviously gorgeous though.

In my minds eye, all lively, funny and strong willed Scottish women look like Lulu. 😂

If so I’ll be impressed by the armchair sleuthing powers😄

Yes!

kitty you are small, slim and dark haired.

That's how I see you kittylester!

Are we close?

I bet you’re completely and utterly wrong😁people usually are when it comes to these things.

She is!

Marydoll Wed 02-Jul-25 08:48:16

She was smaller than 8ft. wink

Oreo Wed 02-Jul-25 08:44:44

Marydoll

BTW, when I eventually saw a photo of Chewbacca, she was nothing like how I imagined her!

So not eight feet tall, incredibly hairy and wearing a bandolier?

Tbh - I suspect that there are two reasons for being banned.

Either you are using language or nastiness towards another member on a regular basis, and don’t desist even after warnings.

Or

You are putting GN into disrepute or breaking the law in some way. Usually racism I think.

I suspect that the last one is more usual.

Marydoll Wed 02-Jul-25 08:30:42

Nanna, some who disappear are actually not banned, but still here under a different name. wink

I think you have to have a history of warnings, before you are banned by GNHQ. There has usually been a conversation beforehand. I'm sure some on here can clarify that.
It is not usually for just a trivial matter.
We never know the full story and what is has been happening behind the scenes, unless the banned poster is in contact outside GN.
