Are Gransnetters just vicious online trolls?

Momentum anxiety?! Let's keep that on the political threads.

Leana

That's the trouble with momentum annsixty, you risk it carrying you too far and leading to disaster!!!!!!!

And me! Because my skin is paper thin it tears and the resulting scene looks like a massacre

And I fall over my own feet !!!

Oh dear, am wrinkly and a hesitant tapper

Thank you * Lona* or shall I call you Lena now? I hope you are settled and very happy

Can I just warn all you "leaner overers" that it was leaning right over in bed to turn my electric blanket off, that ripped my shoulder (rotator cuff). I heard it tear, and it takes approx. a year to heal! So beware!

Sorry Elegran I did of course mean heterogeneous. Dratted predictive text plus I didn't preview before I fired it off in a strop!

Although I have my own double bed I sleep right on the edge and I have fallen out several times reaching over for something on the bedside chest of drawers . As I have got shorter in height and wider the other way , when I lean over momentum carries me too far. One day I shall do myself a mischief.

I have always been quite good at falling down stairs, tripping over even when I was young, I slid sideways off this typing chair with it on top of me not long ago (over-reaching for the bin, not because I was dizzy).

Must concentrate more.

Thanks, Jalima, made me laugh.

We had to move into a bungalow when my husband kept falling downstairs, so I was asked if I'd gone dizzy, lost vision, lost my balance. They are very worried that I am turning into an old lady.
In hospital, the nurses ticked the box for living in a house before even asking me. My son had to tell them I fell down his stairs!

I reckon a velcro sling would qualify!

When I fell over recently (twice ) DS said 'I do hope you're not turning into one of those old ladies who keeps falling over

Just going by his photo, Jalima. Mind, I never realised that all those ladies in the photos had lots of wrinkles so maybe I need bottle-base specs.
I do just use one finger at the moment on my left hand, but I'm slowly getting faster. I don't wear slippers, but I've got velcro on my sling. Does that count?

As I said on another thread (the Huffington Post one) - just who do they think invented technology?

I didn't read much further about him durhamjen, so hadn't realised he is a grandad.
(not on here is he?, it could be any one of us!)

Not me, though, I am female, 4' 11" with a crinkly grey perm, bottle-base specs and heavy wrinkles, dressed in my beige crimplene outfit today.

That's me to a T Elegran!!! I jest.

Did you mean heterogenous, Jane? Sorry if that was too acerbic for you, but homogenous does mean all the same, and heterogenous means all different.

The Daily Mail thinks we are are all 4ft 11in with crinkly whitey-grey perms, bottle-base specs and heavy wrinkles, we are dressed in crimplene skirts, beige twinsets and Velcro slippers, and we frown as we tap our pads hesitantly with one finger.

Telling people how to deal with the media doesn't exactly imply that that he has an exhaustive research background especially related to such a homogeneous bunch as us. Ah well there's one born every minute so credulous people and unscrupulous media outlets won't worry about that.

Looks as though he could be a grandad himself, so he ought to know not all grans think the same, Jalima.

But he gets paid for this Jane10

I have enjoyed the most profound thorough and ultra professional media training. I took the option of 1-on-1 training via skype. The understanding of my work with celebrities and social networking facilitated a very bespoke media session imbued with the highest level of critical analysis that has really enhanced my media career in television. My trainer took a very tough perspective in his approach and questioning style that really developed my own responses to well seasoned journalists – a solid grounding for cutting edge television work.
I strongly recommend this site.

Doesn't seem to have given him much insight into grannies and grandads though; we are not a homogeneous group.

Says it all!
