All new members should have to undergo a probationary period...........

whatsgoingon, you have been with us for a whole week and not been frightened off? Welcome! . Gransnetters can be friendly, helpful, sympathetic, funny or even grumpy, but they add up to a great bunch of people!
I have just bought a solar powered nodding/flapping sunflower for my car dashboard . Does that make me far too common for GN? I have pearls (synthetic), but no twinset.

Was that you, Frank* making a joke? On someone else's thread too?
Must say I like the idea of a Plain English test as a condition of joining. And after 2 years you earn the right to throw in the odd fancy word like arcane

Ok, I'll take the bait.
Why Frank?

Graduates should be exempt from the probationary period.

Frank

I like it Baubles !!

Riverwalk do you have a hidden camera?!

Actually Ariadne can vouch for me, as we have met. I maybe round, but not brown, and my head isn't yellow, it's a sort of reddish brown!

Nowt wrong with twinset & pearls!

whatsgoingon!

I've only been on here a week so how long is probationary period ?
As a newbie on here I am quite happy to post about puppies and kittens BUT I will have to draw the line at wearing a twinset and pearls.

Thank heavens - thought this was serious to being with!!

Just round and brown with a yellow head then Phoenix

PS I didn't mean brown and sticky!

perhaps I'm a bit like marmite?

I told you we'd missed you. Phoenix!

I bluddy love you lot!

Phoenix , of course you have not .

We are here for a good time . not a long time !!

Not a bad idea that Galen

Perhaps we should all contribute to paying her to keep on posting?

galen . now we know why we missed phoenix so much when she was working.

galen

I thought it was serious. I've just gone on line to try and find a twinset!

Indeed.
Could you tell that mine was?

FFS. Short and succinct enough? Deciding to morph.

Everybody knows it was tongue in cheek phoenix.

Surely!
