How can we ensure views on Gransnet are given a broader hearin?

Sacrilege...???

Or perhaps a that’s an ancient custom where ever he hails from? Is he from Oz perhaps, they have odd drinking rituals there. ?

I've never known any self-respecting Australian to waste a drop of the red juice, Rufus's tale is quite shocking.

Agree, it’s positively scandalous Jalima

OldMeg. You're not serious are you? Where are the Smileys? After I promised not to desert you, I turn my back to re-install another keyboard, the one I'm using right now, completely unsullied by Shiraz, so far, and I find you've joined with Jalima to ruin my credentials! Half-a-glass goes a long way when it's up-ended over a keyboard and into one's lap, and not being one to do things by halves, I'll have to remain alert next time i.e. start with a full glass!
Btw; I prefer "clever" over "zany"; I don't feel crazy, yet!

Zany is good Rufus2 I’d be happy with that
It’s when it gets to bonkers I shall worry ??

Maw; Don't you worry, I've got there first! I've done that in stereo and lost another message which should have been up there instead. Back to the drawing board!

It's a worrying sign when you keep repeating yourself Rufus, especially after only half a glass of Shiraz

Apart from DBH; Does that mean you've never fraternised with any?
I note that you quote only the platinum fare, which tells me that you're a lady of impeccable taste, just like my dear Vera who would have settled for nothing less; sadly she didn't make it.
High Season $4139; Shoulder $3899 Low$3269; same in either direction Adelaide - Darwin.
There' a Senior's discount fare which I can't find right now; never very much anyway and you're probably too young to qualify. You'll obviously tackle your travel agent on that.
OoRoo

Thanks Rufus Yes, definitely impeccable taste
DBH ?

is this the wrong thread? again

Jalima; Please stop confusing me now I've just overcome my earlier "shocking" accident
DBH = Dear Beloved Husband, from our Forum songsheet. Hope I'm not out of order?

Dear Grandad1943 As you feel you don't have time to start and keep an eye on a thread about men's aversion to getting medical advice, I have begun one. I hope that you are right and that the men on Gransnet will reply (as well as the women, of course) and that we get a good discussion going on the subject.

I flew over Oz once. It looked orange.

I must have missed the Tipping the Shiraz over a Keyboard incident. It was maybe past my bedtime. If it was deliberate then I stand by my scandalous comment. If accidental then ?

It was on another thread OldMeg
So I think this one has got a bit side-tracked.

I flew over Oz once. It looked orange.
You didn't fly over the rainforests then!

I have fraternised with many Australians Rufus, in fact some may even be relatives. Is that allowed?

ps OldMeg it's more red than orange.

All that Shiraz.

I have fraternised with many Australians Rufus, in fact some may even be relatives. Is that allowed?
Of course it is Jalima! I tripped up trying to separate DBH from "fraternising" into "courting", but I was too smart for my own good! Sorry!

we get a good discussion going on the subject.
Well!; So much for that! The silent minority have spoken, unless it's happening somewhere else.?
It's now a week without any responses, so I suggest we give it a rest and than I can regale you with my "pseudo-cyst on the pancreas" medical bulletin, with nobody to deter from visiting their GP. On the other hand it could entice someone to do just that! I just have to organise my notes.
