Troll hunting

I have been told off for troll hunting to which I hold my hands up- though I wasn't hunting, I'd found one!!

Shouldn't GNHQ be troll hunting for us. Those of us that have been here a while will be instinctively aware of malicious posters generally and can report (as I was told to) but how long does it take hq to look into something and what harm can be done to unsuspecting members in the interim?

Well that's cleared that up then Jalima - I'm on the outside with my nose pressed up against the glass !

Back to the kitchen then , at least I have a seat , a mince pie and a glass of something there...erm ….cup of tea !!

I bet I'm not in the inner circle - I never am!

Squiffy Wed 19-Dec-18 16:46:13

Ah, but, could we apply this logic to it - to misquote Groucho Marx, "I wouldn't want to belong to a club that would have me as a member." tchwink

I m doing the okie cokie in the outer circle waiting to get in the inner circle, is there any space ?

Chewbacca Wed 19-Dec-18 17:38:07

There's loads of space inside the non existent, completely imaginary, totally fictitious inner circle.

I saw Ramsey Lewis a couple of years ago at Ronnie Scott’s.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas everyone tchgrin

janeainsworth, we could adopt that. as the the GN Inner Circle theme tune. grin

I would give anything to be part of the Inner circle, but I failed the initiation interview. sad

Whether part of the secret sect on GN or not, I will continue to report links I think may contain malware or porn. This is not out of malice nor smugness, but out of concern for my fellow members, some who may not realise the danger in following the links.
Spotting links like this was part of my remit before I retired and I cannot forget all the training I had.

I'm reminded of the apocryphal cricket quote 'The bowler's holding the batsman's willy.' grin

BlueBelle you are in the outer circle because you are doing the ‘okie cokie’ whilst we chosen ones in the inner circle are doing the ‘Hokey Cokey’ there is a subtle difference that makes all the difference.
Come, join us! tchgrin

Jane10 Wed 19-Dec-18 21:05:24

Go on, put your left hand in, your left hand out...

lemongrove Wed 19-Dec-18 21:05:25

Exactly Marydoll me too, and I really miss those MI6 days.grin

MawBroon Wed 19-Dec-18 21:12:58

Is that the Brexit Hokey Cokey Jane10?

Chewbacca Wed 19-Dec-18 21:14:58

My days of shakin' it all about are behind me literally. Where do I stand in the circle please? hmm

Jane10 Wed 19-Dec-18 21:24:04

If you can shake it all about you're in!

Chewbacca Wed 19-Dec-18 21:24:55

It shakes the minute I move Jane10!

BlueBelle Wed 19-Dec-18 22:07:02

Now i know what I ve been doing wrong all this time

Marydoll Wed 19-Dec-18 22:29:11

BlueBelle how did YOU manage to get in?

Squiffy Wed 19-Dec-18 22:29:16

BlueBelle Hold that door open, please! tchgrin

Jalima1108 Wed 19-Dec-18 22:30:07

Hang on, I still have my left leg out, don't shut the door tchshock

Chewbacca Wed 19-Dec-18 22:32:31

You've got to shake it all about Marydoll. Then, when you've shaken it all about, you've got to throw it all in and turn around. Apparently.

lemon tipped me the wink earlier. wink

Jalima1108 Wed 19-Dec-18 22:37:03

it all sounds very difficult, co-ordinating your arms and legs, lefts and rights …..

I think I'm Out
or possibly Out Out

Please throw me a mince pie and a glass of mulled wine

Chewbacca Wed 19-Dec-18 22:38:45

Come come Jalima, it's a serious business getting into the inner circle. Concentrate now.....

Squiffy Wed 19-Dec-18 22:39:03

Chew That's multi-tasking, so is that why males haven't made it to the phantom inner sanctum?

(Runs for cover. . . )

Chewbacca Wed 19-Dec-18 22:40:42

Surely that's self explanatory Squiffy! tchgrin
