Bluebelle I am interested in EPs threads , it is refreshing to have something a bit different.

Which threads do you think are interesting to everyone ?

MissAdventure Fri 30-Jul-21 17:56:23

And yet here you are, posting on them.
It's entirely up to each person what they want to post, as long as it doesn't break any rules.
Bog all to do with anyone else.

Meant MawBe and BlueBelle.

Mouseybrown60 Fri 30-Jul-21 17:53:34

Agree with you nanna8 and MawBe.

MawBe Fri 30-Jul-21 17:49:35

And EP dominated hmm

BlueBelle Fri 30-Jul-21 17:37:23

Good for you EP. The more threads we have, the better, is my philosophy.

Don’t get it ! lots of threads started but about what !!!
Why not start a thread about something that will interest others EP and not just yourself I m sure you’re a nice chap but all your threads are a bit EP orientated

Are you hoping, eventually, to be the instigator of every thread on GN, EP. You bemuse me.

I do not instigate anything.

It amazes me how many people in public life say that they are instigating something.

Something to notice when watching television news and current affairs programmes.

The word instigate implies doing something wrong.

The word for when the purpose is honourable is either initiate or institute depending on the context.

Ah, such a gap between the words muse and bemuse.

Not necessarily EP

Instigate is usually ( but not always ) a negative word used to describe a sinister action intended to provoke or generate a negative outcome. Instigate can also be a positive word when used to describe an attempt to create positive change in behaviour or policy

Of course that may also be a reflection on certain threads…..
And as you (didn’t) say - the difference between amuse and bemuse hmmhmm

Than you so much for that Bilko clip. I still think it was a great comedy and he was so funny.

ElderlyPerson Fri 30-Jul-21 12:25:23

How did this poem arise?

Dans un château
deux canards
mangèrent un gâteau
et des épinards

You can read about it in the following thread.
