Is it me?

Nah! For that I would have to keep the light on.

So that you can lie back and think of England admire it?

I'd better focus my mind on getting back up the stepladder and finish painting the bedroom ceiling.

Merlot!!!

merlot! Freudian slip?

Did I notice on the "Younger Man" thread that someone had had a PM containing a proposition? It may have been somewhere else, but if it was on that thread, HQ must have traced the poster.

AAAAAAGH......I meant Wellies

I'm off to have a look at the Style and Beauty thread. I normally give that one a miss because my idea of style and beauty is a cheap as chips moisturiser (I haven't used chip fat yet but never say never
and anything that tucks into willies!

As Riverwalk says, there were some funny posts on the Younger Man thread, whoever started it. It was a bit of lightheartedness at the end of a rather trying day! (So of course, it had to go...)

I find it insulting that someone can create a thread and watch the gnashing of teeth and wailing whilst, at the same time coming back and posting under another name [if that has happened]. And I also don't understand why it is found to be clever/amusing as I feel that people are being manipulated.

"It was a tr**l" Lona?? I have been assured that we will not be seeing this poster again but "his/her" post on "Grey hair and Make up" is still there (it's the last one on Style and Beauty) and frankly this Granny is getting increasingly hacked off with people who have nothing better to do than play silly games with genuine posters or manipulate them into factions . OK maybe I am too gullible but WYSIWYG - that's the way I am and I am unlikely to grow an extra skin after all these years. Maybe I do trust people to be/say/do what they claim - is that wrong?
This weekend has been a(nother) wake up call. All the bleating "Come back Jingle" - like the Wild Things ("Oh please don't go we love you so") for what? All of 36 hours before the reincarnation of rosesarered? And icepan 11111 whoever you are - what sad sort of existence do you lead if this is the best you can come up with?
I am sure GNHQ do have better things to do than police this site as if we were naughty kids having a crafty fag behind the bike sheds. To say I am disgruntled is perhaps an overstatement - but I am certainly not gruntled!

Ahhh - thought the lack of information might be an indicator.

Nm - you bet!

I wonder what sort of advertising would be most relevant to GNrs. It makes me think these advertisers need to wake up and research their potential client groups a bit better. Are they still thinking we are just cosy grannies?

It's interesting the reasons given for deleting a whole thread.

If a thread is started by a troll but the subsequent posts are within rules, as with the thread in question, does that get deleted because of the OP?

There were some witty posts about billy goats and a husband who'd only had 18 birthdays. Pity to delete them all.

But the p*ss-take on the Colman's Challenge - that wasn't started by a troll and had some very funny posts but it was deleted no doubt for business reasons.

This thread is also doomed!

It was a t**ll apparently, (according to GNHQ)

The whole thread? Not just the odd post? How odd!

Oh come on GM - are you really asking?
