Geraldine's latest

I knew a girl at school called Frankie. She was a brilliant debater – won the Observer Mace – and also a good actor.

I sometimes think Frank is acting a part....

Marelli Just read back - what do you mean "Ah - Elegran, might have known!" ? What might you have known? Should I be taking offence here and stomping off?

Sweet baba though.

Oh bloodhell Ana I will delete it forthwith.
That is not me sucking my toe either!

Oh you said that!

Should be Nelliemoser !

*Me
Lie,* you've reversed it! She's now R handed.
Gracesm I don't fancy doing winter in the cold unless I can be draped in ermine!

I assumed the person in the DT article was frank
Only joking

Can we start a new thread? The title of this one gives no hint of the real subject - the image of over 50's that the media seem to have. Lots of people on here have opinions, I am sure, but the thread title does not grab them.

You do realise, Nellie, that everyone looking at your profile photos from now on will think that's you....

Can we wear green and purple scarves, strategically draped?

I've looked at it again ; I think she's my Aunty Marjorie - she's nearly 98 and lives near Brighton.
I've got wall paper like that in my hall

How to publicise the GN image? I think the time has come for the Gransnet Calendar. I see Galen with her wonderful silvery hair as January, Phoenix rising from the ashes as February. Gally would be good as March and somehow Bags suggests April. We seem to have lost Mey so maybe Mishap if she can gaurantee to stay on her feet Kitty would kick off the Summer as June and j08 would be our alliterative July. August has more than one meaning so maybe Elegran? September is glorious in Scotland so I am suggesting Soop and Tegan can be October (if whichever racing season it is, permits) Can't leave JessM out so you are November and for December? Why Father Christmas himself, otherwise known as Frank.
Apologies to those I have missed out - once you have finished breathing a sigh of relief, you can get cross at the omission. Personally I would be glad not to necessitate the "bigger buns" of the film!

I have flipped the lady horizontally but it doesn't seem to make any improvement to the wall paper.
On my profile pics. I have probably now infringed someones copyright!

Ah when I blow the photo up I can see that.
I do sometimes wear multiple strings of pearls though. I have about 9lengths of small cheap ones that you can twist to make a choker or just wear loose. They are interspersed with the odd jagged crystal which makes them sparkle
My costume jewlery

Galen She's wearing beads not pearls. Shame on you – of all people.

Unless she's in a forest....

That's probably wallpaper, jingl.

And she's wearing pearls!

Shame the curtains are closed.

She might not wear her wedding rings. If she hates men her ex enough.

Left-handed and unmarried – unless the picture has been flopped.

She needs a booster cushion as well as a stand for her laptop!

a poster reading, and disapproving of, someone else's post

No names no pack drill.

I always flattered myself that I looked quite good for someone I her early sixties, but my ( Younger) sister says its a really good likeness !
