How many Grandads do we have?

Yay PoppaRob!
You win the
I haven't got a question but Notsogrand has...

Got to remember Rob is in a different time zone to all except the insomniacagrans. So really, Rob, it should be G'night....

Grandadbumble reporting for duty, should be good fun to chat to all these Grannys.

Well! There is only one of me.

Hi, sorry been bust with RL for a day or two, back now.

First my laptop has been slowly dying, so I had to re-install the op. system.
Monday, we went to Wicken Fen with friends, just a wee bit windy, but did see some Hobbys.
Today, I've been to hospital in London, as acountry boy, I hate going to London.
Tomorrow I'm having a camera put up my pipe !!!! Might expand on that later after your minds have worked overtime.

Lastly, thanks Geraldine for our own topic (although I think "ask grandad" was your idea, I was just trying to locate fellow males.) So far it seems there is just Rob & Myself (Chris, btw)

Rob, what do you get up to in your workshop ?

bust ???? now was that a Freudian slip, I meant "busy"

GrandadBumble, hello, I am guessing jennybumble is your better half (that should be worth a brownie point!). You will have to create your own login so we know who is chatting.

Royston, you a Grandpa? Hope so, that makes 4 of us.

Guys, please make it clear if you are a Grandpa, names worldwide aren't always obvious.

is gransnet non pc sexist ? hmm

Great to see all the grandads arriving...is gransnet HQ going to set up a proper Ask a Grandad section for DIY or similar queries? I hope so!

Magsie....I did have a couple of Ask a Grandad questions, but my very wonderful window cleaner came today and supplied the answers. There'll be more!

Anther gramp has just come in from the garden and joined !!!

Notsogrand (and Geraldine if you are watching). I think we need a topic "Ask a Grandad" where questions can be asked for Grandads (or any informed person) to answer. Questions primarily those that you would expect a Grandad to be knowledgeable on.

But, we also need a Topic "Grandads garden shed" where us Grandads can chat about Granddaddy (is there such a word) things. Ladies will always be welcome if carrying a couple of beers !!!

Smike, yes this is probably a bit non PC and somewhat sexist, but a slightly non PC/ slightly sexist world is fun, so long as we are respectful of others.

I totally support the idea of a Grandads Garden Shed, it's lovely idea. As long as we can eavesdrop.

Hope you're lurking Geraldine......

Sincere apologies, my first post and my spelling makes me look like I came in from the Pub not the garden.!!
Better pull my socks up if I want to continue and not let the side down.

Hello Grumpy, pub, garden, who cares, so long as you are here :-)

Oh, and I've just realised that "Ask a Grandad" was Crimson's idea.

Grandad or Granddad, which is correct, my spell-check says Granddad, but that just looks wrong.

OK, Im Here, what more do you nice Ladies want...

Hi Michael, we are going to need a bigger shed soon :-)

It's Co-op 99.

What cake/s will you need in the shed?

Wow!! just popped in and what ahs happened!! we have males in the camp....thats brill! woooohooo..[]...should make things interesting, and will be great to hear "grandads views on things that make the world go round".. cheers to all..(maybe we should have a beer glass smiley)! or perhaps there are a lot more wine drinking grandads? I know my hubby loves both [] thats when I unlock the cabinet {wink] lol

Cakes for the shed - that sounds good, for me, rock cakes, yummy.

I'm OK with a glass of wine in the shed. hic.

Well hello grandads, we thought you had done a runner

LOL, no, as I said earlier RL wanted a share of me.

Hello all. I am Grandad to six gorgeous girls. I trained for the Merchant Navy on the "Vindicatrix" at Sharpness in 1959.

It suddenly has become a grandad fest! wow.. it's amazing what can happen in one day! I'm now putting all my DIY queries in alphabetical order.. but suddenly feel sexist for doing it. Funny thing is that probably most of the grandads are into cooking, and cleaning, and half of the grandmas are probably into DIY, and cars. lol. I'm just into anything I can do, and want help at anything i can't .. so still doing that list but just changing it a bit.
