I'm a newby.

Mornin' all, my what a windy night it was, in fact, it was so windy here that we woke up in the next street
I think the worst is yet to come bb123 - Doris is on her way
Batten down the hatches

ERR, I think I'm going to look a bit dim but I err can't find my way to Soop's Kitchen. When I get there all the doors are closed and the last letters are from March of last year. There is no Add your message here page. See, my wife is right when she calls me a brainless dude. H E L P.....
How do I get in?

Judthepud & Bellanonna, just going to have a nana sarnie then will have a look at Soop's Kitchen. Will I need an apron?

Checking back on some of your input.
Shysal, my wife will give some input from time to time. She is very busy with some embroidery. Photo of that later. What are your cats called?

Hildajenni, Do you have a photo of Wiser? Our Benny is quite deaf too. And I am.

Hi Luckygirl, like your humour. I am enjoying being a member of Gransnet. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Thanks for your welcome nanak. Great place this.

.Cherrytree59, my wife likes rugby and all sports. My favourite is cricket.
I noticed that you spoke of your doggy in the past tense. Was your loss recent?

.Hello there Nanaandgrampy. What part of the British Isles are you from? I think........Yorkshire. Am I right?

.Hello Christinefrance and judpud. Is that france as in France Christine or is France your second name?
Judpud, I have to ask, are you or were you a cook? I'm intrigued by your name............

Bye for now all. If I've missed you I'll be around tomorrow.

Bumblebee.

Hi again bb. I've been looking out for you on the other threads. It would be nice to see you in Soop's Kitchen where you are always sure of a warm welcome, as are your pets. Or on the many other interesting threads that abound
on Gransnet. Mrs B might also like to join in if any of the conversations catch her eye?
Just trawl through all the various threads , see what's been happening, and add your comments. It's good to have a male viewpoint now and again. Meanwhile hope the wind has subsided in your part of the country. It was pretty fierce here during the night too.

Theresa May, bb ?

Morning BB. Had you and Mrs BB thought about calling in to 'soop's kitchen' thread? I think you would enjoy it. You would certainly get a warm welcome.

Mornin' all, my what a windy night it was, in fact, it was so windy here that we woke up in the next street .
Now here is a fresh puzzle for you. I say puzzle but I suppose I mean question. What was the Prime Ministers name before David Cameron moved into number 10?
Careful! OH, gotta go, my frusemide are starting to work.....
Bumblebee.

Welcome to the forum Bumblebee there are lots of interesting threads on here for you to contribute to, on every subject under the sun, am sure you will enjoy the chat/debates.

Sorry I didnt "turn the page". Thanks for the explanation but it did suddenly come to me.

Interesting romance, yours. You both sound very happy bb !

Me too, now! You had me puzzled bb !

Don't let her kid you, we're too old to be gorgeous. The last time I looked in a mirror it broke and when she puts lipstick on it backs up into the tube . Yup, we met on the Net. She was looking for someone good looking and rich. I was looking for someone good looking and rich. Mmm, 2 out of 4 ain't bad. She came across here and fell in love with England. She wouldn't go back to the US. I wouldn't let her.
BFN.....Mr. Bumblebee.

Bella: How very astute of you to pick up on the Americanism.
You are right, at least one half of us is American. And that is the brainy one, Mrs Bumblebee. The other half is from South Yorkshire and we married in 2003 on Valentine's Day, having met on the internet. I come from Minnesota and I'm gorgeous but then again, so is my husband. See ya later .....

OK, the man holding the photograph has no brothers or sisters. He is the only family member from his parents. He says, indicating the man in the photograph, that the father of the of said man, (the man in the photo) is his father's son. The man holding the photo is the only offspring, thus, that makes him the father of the man in the photo. His son. Best thing to do is hold a picture of someone, anyone, and repeat what the man holding the photo says. Easy if your brain cells are like mine, double jointed.
Bumble bee.

Got it! (I think,) I worked backwards from the answer.

Btw if anyone else has worked it out could you please explain it to me slowly (pretend I'm 5). Not wishing, of course,to offend all the bright 5-year-olds.

Blimey. I'm still trying to work it out.
Btw, are you American? (Y'all, etc). Just curious! ?
Have a nice day too tho miserable here (South East)

Good Morning All,
Nice day so far here in S. Yorks. Hopefully I will manage a walk.

Now, the puzzle, y'all think that the person in the photograph is himself. I can understand your assumption on that but, it is wrong. Read it back to yourself very slowly. The person in the photo is the son of the man holding it. Answer, his son.

Have a nice day. Bumblebees.

Another for himself.

I say 'himself' too.

Bellanonna, we will wait for a few more answers before I say if you are right or wrong.

Himself ?

Are there any other octogenarians in this group? Do you maybe want to keep your age secret? I was born on St. Georges day and on the same day as the Big O, Roy Orbison. From that you should know my birthday.

Now here is a little puzzle for you. A man is holding a photograph and says "Brothers and sisters have I none, but that man's father is my fathers son". ... Who is in the photograph?

Forgot to mention, we do have a small fridge in the kitchen, so it wasn't an outside trip every time we wanted something cold. I bet y'all guessed that.
The brainy Bumblebee.
