...if I suddenly go quiet, I will have been banned. grin

Ten and a half years on Mumsnet followed by Gransnet, and at the age of 71 banning looms! shock grin

Come on who snitched to Matron grin and what have I missed.

Ana Wed 19-Jun-13 22:22:56

I heard on the news today he's back in prison - 11 months this time! Think he was arrested minutes after his last release...

bluebell Wed 19-Jun-13 22:19:32

Where's the evidence j08? Are you just winding us all up?

j08 Wed 19-Jun-13 22:19:07

I wonder if he's still in prison! He probably is! And I'd forgotten all about him! shock

I don't think you are offensive jingle. It's just that some people take offence at other people's remarks and then carry on about them. They are the ones who should get reported for their ruining a good conversation. I start to turn off when the nitpickers start dissecting posts they don't agree with.

Errr..... just in case they boot you off, I have to admit I didn't agree with your views on that man who jogs around Britain in the nude, jingling his jangles for all to see. What was that all about? grin

j08 Wed 19-Jun-13 22:02:31

Don't blame me for the numbers. That was that Bags's idea. hmm

Elegran Wed 19-Jun-13 22:00:25

It saves having to remember what number you are on now.

harrigran Wed 19-Jun-13 22:00:09

Been looking back over the last couple of days and think I have guessed who may have taken out a contract on you jings
I like the way you don't pussyfoot.

j08 Wed 19-Jun-13 21:55:47

It's j zero 8 ! Leave off this flipping' "jo" stuff! #specsavers

Bags Wed 19-Jun-13 21:43:53

Surely they wouldn't ban you, jings? Detention maybe....

annsixty Wed 19-Jun-13 21:27:32

I wasn't picking on JO8, others have done this by reporting. I was merely pointing out that if someone does, HQ must make the decision as it would seem by the post they have.

whenim64 Wed 19-Jun-13 21:25:26

Sounds like GNHQ might have taken a contract out on you, Jingle. Look out for the horse's head under the sheets! grin

Elegran Wed 19-Jun-13 21:25:12

Yes, she has upset people various times over the past couple of years, and I think she has been rapped over the knuckles for it. Is that not right, JO?. However, I can't think of anything just recently that anyone could take offence at. Maybe I have not been focussing.

Ana Wed 19-Jun-13 21:21:14

Many people other than J08 have upset people on Gransnet, annsixty.

annsixty Wed 19-Jun-13 21:08:37

Why are people on here scared of calling a spade a shovel and being so hypocritical, JO8 certainly wouldn't, She has been very outspoken at times and has upset people. If that is grounds for being banned so be it. HQ should be the Judge and jury,they make the rules.

I hate it when somebody on a board feels they have to go and tattle to Sir or Miss... sneaks we used to call 'em.

mollie Wed 19-Jun-13 20:50:21

Of, not if...

mollie Wed 19-Jun-13 20:49:59

I've only been posting for a couple if weeks and I thought you were a bit, er, forthright and, well, scary at first blush. I think I must have got used to you now! Lol! BTW, it wasn't me who complained...

merlotgran Wed 19-Jun-13 20:46:21

jingle's posts are often a welcome diversion when threads get heavy or argumentative.

Ana Wed 19-Jun-13 20:37:48

Abrupt!? What's wrong with that? At least jingl's comments are straightforward and to the point - and in language we can all understand.

Elegran Wed 19-Jun-13 20:11:53

You were a bit abrupt a short while ago (sorry, I can't remember details) so maybe it is a delayed reaction to something. Have they been busy with other things?

Lilygran Wed 19-Jun-13 20:08:06

Gransnet is getting more and more like the High School Movie!

petallus Wed 19-Jun-13 20:06:29

Tittle tattling!

petallus Wed 19-Jun-13 20:06:04

Oh I suspected someone had made a complaint but really, really hoped not.

How unpleasant!

j08 Wed 19-Jun-13 20:01:35

They have had complaints about me. I honestly don't know any more than that.

Ariadne, don't! grin

I'm not gonna get sad about this.
