Sometimes the wandering and bizarre nature of threads is highly entertaining. Quite often, it's just irritating. It's like the meeting where the minutes have been read and agreed and matters arising have arisen and gone then someone who was dozing or talking to a friend or hanging their coat up suddenly realises they've missed it and wants to pick up on something that's already been dealt with. In real life the chairman could move on or they could be filled in by another member. But on GN if you refer someone to an earlier post you tend to get ratty offended remarks
I do that in the car, over sunglasses, if Mr Bags is driving and wants me to look at a map. Have perfected the technique of wearing both at once so that I can read the map (glasses low on nose) and watch the road for signs etc (sunglasses in 'normal' place on nose).
Margaret I like your last sentence. It seems as if we've taken the scenic route to nowhere. I've enjoyed the trip. Must go. Things to do, cats to feed and papers to read. Early to you lot. Thanks for a happy day.
Thanks to everyone for your welcome. I probably went off half cocked - am I allowed to say that??? Can't really expect to agree with everyone on a forum site this big. Absent, you're quite right - other half Italian and now known as Nonno, I'm Granny though but quite liked the sound of Forzanonna, your translation's spot on!
