The influence of Gransnet Daily

It is an interesting phenomenon how the mention of a thread as the title feature of Gransnet Daily often results in a massive increase in posts to a thread.

For example, today the thread

www.gransnet.com/forums/relationships/1301027-How-is-a-mother-in-law-addressed

is the title feature and lots of new posts have appeared.

the bit, not to.

Fess up, who bought the giant chocolate buttons?

Personally I like to bit at the bottom of the GN Daily that tells me what you’ve been buying. How do they know?

So far, FannyC has been a troll, a clique, a sock and a staff member. Maybe we could have a competition on what her next rôle will be (joke klaxon)

Pitch forks aloft!!!

Of course I’m not being ‘unkind’ to Mick.
I was making reference to the ‘phenomenon’ and ‘influence’ of GN Daily.

It was ElderlyPerson not Michael12 who spoke of the “phenomenon” in question.

Didnt one poster think Fanny was part of the GN HQ team. I thought that was funny. Fanny wasnt being unkind.

What do you mean FannyCornforth?

Even as an attempt at a joke that is pretty unkind to Mick - the most harmless of GN posters.
Fortunately he is unlikely to have seen your post FannyC as he might well have taken it at face value.

It was obvious it was joke smile but I have no idea who Mick is blush

FannyCornforth Tue 21-Sept-21 14:21:27

It was a joke Kitty

Mick used to do a good morning thread on his previous forum and asked if we would like him to start one here. Those of us around at the time said we would. It is a lovely start to the day.

Galaxy Tue 21-Sept-21 12:39:25

I have ordered it. Mind it will go on my big pile of books that I need to read because I spend too much time on GN.

FannyCornforth Tue 21-Sept-21 12:33:30

GalaxyIt’s brilliant. One of the best books (about anything) that I have ever read

Galaxy Tue 21-Sept-21 12:30:15

Sorry fanny I have just seen your book recommendation, I will have a look for that.

It was a rather feeble joke, that’s all.
Please accept that I’m not some sort of dodge-pot Chewbacca!

It’s arrived now. I hadn’t seen the ‘I thought this was worth passing on’ thread, so I guess that’s one thing I found useful today. It’s a good thread and I missed it.

FannyCornforth Tue 21-Sept-21 11:02:13

grin you arent spending enough time on GN. Stop having a real life you fool.

Ah, now that’s where I really shine

Toy Shortage - not the best one in the Woody and Buzz franchise

JaneJudge Tue 21-Sept-21 10:56:34

Ok, I'll give it a go if I get some time!

I hadn't realised the good morning thread was on every day!

Galaxy Tue 21-Sept-21 10:54:28

I like it Jane, although I think it sometimes tries to put in every single 'characteristic' of someone with autism into one character. I really enjoy the young people in it, his best friend and sister are brilliant, I find the parents not so good but mainly because of the acting.

FannyCornforth Tue 21-Sept-21 10:54:24

The GM thread is always on.

I'm grin that good morning Tuesday is on there.
