As its less than 3 weeks until the 1st Anniversary of Gransnet 5th May ( I hope thats the correct date, if my memory has not failed me altogether) smile
How are we going to celebrate?

Do we need to start making bunting or baking, any suggestions?????

Can you still get izal?

Anagram Sat 21-Apr-12 22:46:33

I can play the comb with old-fashioned toilet paper - but I think someone else mentioned that earlier?

jeni Sat 21-Apr-12 22:44:12

I can only play the recorder and fiddle, both very badly as I haven't played for years. Looking back, my brother called it a vile din a d the Alsatian used to howl when I practiced!

And all I can do is whistle with two fingers sad

jeni Sat 21-Apr-12 22:04:50

A lyre, two violins and three recorder!

yogagran Sat 21-Apr-12 21:53:46

Irish drums AND a harp jeni, whatever next shock

Anagram Sat 21-Apr-12 19:43:38

Thank goodness, jeni! Bod imam sounded like something (or someone!) quite different....grin

jeni Sat 21-Apr-12 18:33:57

An Irish drum!

yogagran Sat 21-Apr-12 17:52:16

What's a bodum jeni?

Anagram Sat 21-Apr-12 17:52:10

grin

yogagran Sat 21-Apr-12 17:51:00

Shall I start practising anagram - no, on second thoughts, perhaps not, that wouldn't be a very pretty sight blush

There might be those naturist window cleaners that phoenix was talking about

Anagram Sat 21-Apr-12 16:53:14

I think yoga should be careful what poses she does in the altogether! wink

soop Sat 21-Apr-12 16:43:52

jeni I prefer the alternative spelling. It sounds exotic grin

jeni Sat 21-Apr-12 14:16:55

.? That should be bodum!

jeni Sat 21-Apr-12 14:16:25

I've just ordered a bod imam grin

................still thinking

glassortwo Sat 21-Apr-12 13:56:49

We could have jess behind her book. smile

glassortwo Sat 21-Apr-12 13:55:15

Ha ha what a brilliant idea, old I think I might need the large variety of glasses (the ones that hold a bottle) grin

jeni Sat 21-Apr-12 12:09:28

Me strategically placed cruise catalogue, oh and sorry, must have my pearls! All of them at once , superglued to make bra and loinclothgrin

Anagram Sat 21-Apr-12 11:21:31

Not sure about the scythe for bagitha, OGM! Might remind folk a bit too much of the Grim Reaper! grin

Oldgreymare Sat 21-Apr-12 09:58:11

Ariadne.... I blame my Gran, it's what she used to croon or perhaps it's verse two!

'On Mother Kelly's doorstep, down paradise way, I singa-longa Nellie, I singa-long Joe... her beau......

Jeni I have some 'nice' pearls given to me by a friend and bought in Oman, I had them made up into a necklace. But we can't have pearls as our uniform lest we are mistaken for those hussies (grin) the Calendar Girls!
I wish I'd thought of that idea... but then it has been copied lots.
O.K. Here's the deal.... A Gransnet Calendar:

Soop.... partly hidden by a strategically placed by a palette and brushes,
Greatnan..... snorkelling mask and flippers,
Bagitha.... a scythe ( all that cutting back!)
Glass..... a couple of wine glasses ( full, empty might reveal too much!)
Me a riding hat with veil (hides face/ adds air of mystery) back to camera!

Any more suggestions?????

Shout, shout, sing ye along
Who has nicked borrowed my avatar?

Ariadne Fri 20-Apr-12 14:36:00

Could turn my ode into an anthem?

SOOP Fri 20-Apr-12 12:45:56

JessM...nice thought! smile

JessM Fri 20-Apr-12 12:15:32

I wonder if we should also celebrate by highlighting our favourite gransnet moments...
