The irony is that when I saw the headline my initial thought was "What A Good Idea". As a male gransnetter I have always thought that the name is slightly sexist and discourages a lot of grandads for participating. So when I read a little more and could see that it was obviously a wind-up I was a bit disappointed.

At the risk of sounding (well, I'm not sure what) I'm a bit worried by what some members might have found if they had been unfamiliar with an acronym/term in the OP and had Googled it!

I'm definitely NOT putting what I think it means on here, and the PM function seems to be currently broken.

There's only one rude word in it - which has been used on here several times in the past...hmm
