"Former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher has died at 87 following a stroke" - just saw on the BBC.

Well, you know the Vikings? Norsemen? Well.... they wrote these stories about their travels. They were called sagas.

Noggin the Nog! In days of old...etc etc I used to love Noggin the Nog...

Bags Fri 12-Apr-13 16:17:20

Oh yes! Thanks for reminding me, tegan! I did too smile

j08 Fri 12-Apr-13 16:22:56

Yes. And they were fierce.

Sorry Bags - I'm told I'm not very intelligent but I still don't get how that links with what J08 said confused

Bags Fri 12-Apr-13 16:31:04

I think she meant this Saga.co.uk. But dinnae fash yersel' about not understanding what jings says. wink

Bags Fri 12-Apr-13 16:32:28

She's always saying she doesn't understand what I say so I'm grabbing the chance to be a cheeky blighter back smile

I suspect jingle/J08 was not paying you a compliment, Bluebell. Mumsnet is known for the foreceful language used, and Saga is a business which caters for people over 50 - I am not sure why that should be an insult!

Bags Fri 12-Apr-13 16:35:04

I doubt if it was intended as an insult, gn. It seemed like a straightforward wondering to me. She could have included Oldie Borum as well. Perhaps that's what she meant.

The Saga forum closed down because the posters got quite cross with each other.

j08 Fri 12-Apr-13 17:32:56

shock Who tells you you are not very intelligent, bluebell?!

bluebell Fri 12-Apr-13 17:34:57

Oh J08 - you ARE being naughty!!

Nonu Fri 12-Apr-13 17:53:32

Can't believe what I am reading Mrs Thatcher for me was the strongest and most patriotic prime minister we have ever had . Wish we had someone like her now .

bluebell Fri 12-Apr-13 18:12:16

Well Sprightly that's the beauty of GN - opens your eyes to the views of others!

Greatnan Fri 12-Apr-13 18:15:26

There is thead drift and there is deliberate sabotage. Come on Nonu, give us the benefit of your considered opinions about the things we have been discussing. grin Your shopping is not really relevant, is it?

Nonu Fri 12-Apr-13 18:17:43

Sprightly , read and weep !

smile

bluebell Fri 12-Apr-13 18:21:28

Sorry Greatnan - crosswords, saga etc - I just needed to lighten up a bit but I am back on track now. Started a thread about songs banned by BBC to relax - it's now segueing nicely!

Nonu Fri 12-Apr-13 18:23:39

You what greatnan , my shopping is not relevant ?

I had to read your post twice , how very , very dare you . I will send you a x to show there are no hard feelings , on my part at any rate
