How many Grandads do we have?

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.

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......

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.

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

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!

is gransnet non pc sexist ? hmm

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.

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.

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

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 ?

Well! There is only one of me.

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

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

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

G'day! :-)

PoppaRob reporting for duty! I've just come in from my workshop, finished a couple of instruments and I'll be popping them onto eBay, then I'll spend some time on Gransnet and Mumsnet. It's become an addiction... dammit! ;-)

Rob

Are they all in their sheds?

They cant be watching football.

Or a for the first one to appear!

Try a piece of cake.

No sign at all. Perhaps they've all had an attack of the shys.

Should we try bribery?

Pint of beer?

Cup of tea and a big chunk of bread pudding?

Has there been any buses yet.

That rings a bell nanafrancis!

Quicker to do it myself, notsogrand!

Only tell him nanafrancis if all the DIY jobs you need doing at home are up to date.

Do I have to tell my DH about this site?
