Geraldine, Could you please.....

Oh yes, I'll second that. It would make for some interesting threads wouldn't it?

Yes. Don't like her 'Party' but she seems a straightforward kind of woman, which I like.

I like her too. She seems to be totally free of 'spin'.

I'm agreeing with Baggy again!

Jangly - you didn't hide your identity very well - really everyone, it wasn't I who suggested it!
Josie Brilliant idea - I'm sure she'd agree especially if you promise to make her a Hon. Gran

You SO did Gally!

Josi, have we driven matron Geraldine away?

Was it my fault?

Oh heck.

Does that mean the Honorable one will read this crap stuff?

I should think poor Matron has taken to a cool dark room for a few days peace, with a and a kit-kat, ready to face the New Term and all the 1st Year Grannys

Oh well!

I've got used to Josi now.

So there. [tongue sticky out emoticon]

And Cari of course.

She tries hard.

But she is SINGLE. Is it being suggested there are secret Widdy children and grandchildren hiding out there?

Of course not!

Why would you need to be a gran to enter into a webchat?

And people are made honorary members of universities without ever having studied there.

I think its probably what the honorary bit means.

Not a gran.
Not a mum.
Never even had a if the stories are true.
Give me a break!

So, if she's never had sex then she's not a real woman?

Life experience counts for nothing does?

What about being a decent human being who cared for her ageing mum until her death? That not worth anything?

Because she has never had sex.

Right.

There have been a load of experiences in my life that have been a blooming sight more worthwhile than fucking!

Not sure I ever envisaged saying this but I am totally in agreement with Jangly's post. Surely we all have friends who aren't married, mums or grans and who may even be virgins! Do we write them off as non-women? Like others, I don't agree with her politics but she seems to me to be someone worth listening to! You can always disagree with what she says!

Jangly! Language! Doesn't shock me but there are those with tender sensibilities - even if it is not used as a swear word.

I was being controversial of course, (can't let Jangly have the monopoly on shoot from the hip, slightly scandalous posts. In fact did not seem to be a seriously meant thread in the first place...) but AW is free to join if she wants isn't she. Doesn't mean GN should go crawling. Where would it stop? The whole of the cast of Strictly past and present? Camilla? Dawn French? The Queen?
Mrs T?????
Perhaps the queen mother could be persuaded to come back from the grave and be a ghost in the machine?

Heaven forfend, JessM!! Not that lot, please, NO!! I wouldn't mind Ann Widdecombe though - I think she'd have plenty of sensible stuff to say, without being self-interested. Perhaps it's just not occurred to her to join in?

I seem to remember the thread was started as a bit of a joke between Gally and me. But I've got nothing against Ann Widdecombe. I think her heart is in the right place iykwim.

I doubt if GNHQ "go crawling" when they suggest a webchat to anyone. They just offer some publicity, usually for a forthcoming book.

Your other suggestions - Camilla? def yes! The queen? yeah, likely! Can do without Dawn French. And Mrs T.

(I think Geraldine must have been reading some "back issues" when she brought this thread back!)

greenmoss - I doubt she knows we exist!
