Troll hunting and thread deletions

Hello
We wanted to clear a few things up:
1) We don't allow troll hunting on the forums. If you are worried someone may not be genuine, please email us directly or report any concerning posts to us. We will deal with it. Making accusations on the forums is not helpful and could, if incorrect, lead to possibly vulnerable people feeling victimised. We will have to delete threads that accuse other users of being trolls.
2) PMs. We take a very dim view of this being abused. If you receive an unwanted or unkind PM please report it to us. We can take a look and deal with it. You are also able to block other users so that they are no longer able to PM you. Please use this. And apologies in advance if this does happen to you. It's not nice and not what Gransnet is about at all.
3) Despite what it feels like tonight hmm we do not enjoy deleting threads. We have a handful of guidelines, all there with the purpose of making the threads better, and more welcoming for users. We are doing our best and rely on you to report things to us that seem concerning, so thank you for caring so much about the site and reporting anything that looks suspicious.

Thank you
GNHQ

Sorry, Charleygirl, you know I'm quite disobedient!
I am now resting!

Charleygirl5 Sun 23-Aug-20 17:02:21

Marydoll you are well aware that this mean spirited old bag will nag at you to rest.

Marydoll Sun 23-Aug-20 17:04:18

I think you are lovely, Charleygirl, not mean spirited at all! ?

phoenix Sun 23-Aug-20 17:05:27

Humph! Could do with a rest, but need to get on with dinner. Mr P and I moved another dumpy bag of soil (just under a ton) in buckets, as the wheelbarrow won't go through the gate!

I was on the shovel, he was bucketing. Bit twingey in the lumbar region!

Squiffy Sun 23-Aug-20 18:03:28

phoenix You’ll probably be getting a ? for such wondrous hard work! I think stiff gits are off limits …

Message deleted by Gransnet as it quotes a post which has since been deleted. Here's a link to our Talk Guidelines.

phoenix Sun 23-Aug-20 18:11:03

Thank you Squiffy! Only another bag to go, that is until we order the next lot confused

As I'm currently a stiff git, I'm having a glass of Cava while cooking the dinner, because I'm worth it! grin

Oh phoenix I obviously have no idea who miscalculated the gate door size when you moved in!!!! You did explain zilch can be done about it but it is killing you.

Take the bottle with a straw- you deserve it. Later a long soak in a hot bath.

phoenix Sun 23-Aug-20 18:44:37

Oh Charleygirl definitely having the soak, and planning on using one of the bath bombs Mr P bought me!

The lavender one is very relaxing, except when you get out of the bath the oil and the little bits of lavender are plastered all over the damn bath! angry

Charleygirl5 Sun 23-Aug-20 18:49:16

I no longer have a bath but I do miss a long soak, reading a book. Now me getting in a bath with all of the metalwork inside me would be like the sinking of the Titanic and getting out would be impossible without a crane and as I live here with Tara my cat a shower is much safer although I still take every precaution and lots of time.

phoenix Sun 23-Aug-20 19:53:28

We have an over bath tower shower (never sure if that should be shower tower? confused) which has the usual over head thing, 6 body jets and hand held spray bit.

The body jets can feel a bit like being water cannoned until you get the hang of how far away you need to stand, but they are very good as a sort of hydrotherapy for aches and pains!

Doodle Sun 23-Aug-20 20:18:33

Good gracious phoenix what ever is going on between you and Mr P . You have an amazing sex life, you on the shovel and him bucketing. Then he planned to blow you up with a bath bomb and turn the water cannon and jets onto you. ?
I should think you need a drink after that. ?

phoenix Sun 23-Aug-20 21:53:04

Doodle, I vaguely remember the phrase "sex life", from the dim and distant past sad

Lucca Sun 23-Aug-20 22:00:54

What a good memory you must have ......

Callistemon Sun 23-Aug-20 22:23:19

The lavender one is very relaxing, except when you get out of the bath the oil and the little bits of lavender are plastered all over the damn bath!

They sound like the posh ones I was given, they make the bath slippery too so it takes a while to summon up the courage to get out.
Then the bath needs a good scrub.

Charleygirl5 Sun 23-Aug-20 22:28:26

Are they worth it if you are likely to break your neck getting out of the bath?

Callistemon Sun 23-Aug-20 22:46:17

That's what I wonder?
And then cleaning the bath afterwards gets you all hot and bothered!

Lucca Sun 23-Aug-20 22:53:45

I claim my stiffgit.......
Am completely bewildered.

cornergran Sun 23-Aug-20 23:34:26

Having just read all through this thread so am I! grin. If anyone can explain please do, although best not if you’ll get deleted. hmm.

Lucca Mon 24-Aug-20 00:17:43

I’ve been deleted, this is why I am bewildered ?

cornergran Mon 24-Aug-20 05:13:23

I’m just bewildered by the whole thread lucca. But then often am smile

Charleygirl5 Mon 24-Aug-20 08:46:22

I was deleted at least 3 times, I suppose there is a first for everything.

I have a hair appointment today- I cannot believe it. The cost has gone up £10 which is not so good but I have done such a marvellous job myself since March I suppose I have easily saved that money.

Lovely sunshine here and it is normal weather.

lemongrove Mon 24-Aug-20 09:23:26

Charleygirl ! Deleted three times? Using bad language again I expect, which is why we threw you out of The Argy.?

Charleygirl5 Mon 24-Aug-20 09:31:49

lemongirl no- I was mean spirited for not going along with the (stupid) flow. I was sticking up for myself and one other poster who was having a hard time and I was not allowing that.

I was convent educated and my father never swore so it was a revelation to me when I entered the big bad world. I have never used the F word in my life.
