Hey 👋 just had to say you’ve got a cool vibe on here. How’s your day going?

I ignored the plonker. 😝

Yep....there's probably every sort of accent going on YouTube - found Indian and Pakistani accents too.....

Oooh go on someone - string him along. I've got a male friend that took great delight in stringing along a woman (or was she) that was contacting him on his phone and professing undying love.

He's happily married actually - but strung that person along for sometime with professions of undying love back and generally playing them at their own game....we used to get told all about his latest encounter with them on his FB page.

Yes, I found one this morning saying he liked my post and how long had I been on GN.
Deleted.

Yes, 3 messages - nothing creepy or nasty. I've blocked him.

As usual I’ve been left out of the message gang - I’m feeling left out.

I feel unloved
Always the bridesmaid sad

Redrobin51 Thu 11-Sept-25 20:59:35

Yes I just deleted the message.

I’ve had a GN email to say there’s a new message from Paul in my Inbox. I haven’t looked at it. 🙄

I have a relative who loves to play along potential plonkers - particularly the "gentlemen" with an Indian accent who tell them they are from Microsoft and they are going to fix all the errors on his computer. Some of them have got really irate because they cannot make him understand how to do things on his windows computer. Eventually he will tell them its a MAC and they will hang up.

This relative built both of my desktops! hahaha

Yes, I had two messages this morning. Blocked him and reported it to GNHQ.

Lucky you !
Where's my tragically widowed young soldier ,
who when I'm able to finance his getting a treasure trove will be marrying ne - sight unseen !
I enjoyed his extraordinary history for a while ...

Grammaretto Thu 11-Sept-25 23:05:35

I had one too I had better report it since he's not my special admirer after all.... 😭

LOUISA1523 Fri 12-Sept-25 09:25:45

Sara1954 Fri 12-Sept-25 09:54:17
