Welcome to all new posters

grannyjules Warm welcome from Kintyre. Is it possible that the computer decided to play silly b's? When you wish to add a smiley face [or any other] you need to type smile in brackets - and so on. Then preview the message. If you're happy with it, go to post message. If all well with your computer, you'll soon get the hang of things. Have fun

Now then, thank you for the welcome.
I've just written a reply, went to look for a smiley face and my msg dissapeared! So you might not be hearing too much from me just yet, any idea what went wrong, or is it just me?

Well said

Oxon

What a beautiful - and accurate - description!

Fascinating as lurking can be, it's much more fun to take the plunge and get right into the strange but alluring melée that is Gransnet.

Hello to FeeTee and grannyjules and welcome - and to anyone else who is still lurking, come and say hello!

Just popped over to the other site and bumped into you grannyjules. Looks like we will be seeing each other regularly

Good morning grannyjules and welcome. If you start to understand what you're seeing, give us a shout, will you? We don't!!

You should have lots of laughs on here and there is warmth and support when discussing more serious issues.

Welcome FeeTee and grannyjules

Hi Numberplease, I'm from Lincolnshire, in the North.
Just looking around this site, still not understanding it all, but couldn't not answer you. So this is my first go.

FeeTee I'd like to add my voice to the welcome chorus.
We hope you'll stay around and eventually feel brave enough to turn blue by putting up a profile.

Thank you all - I feel most welcome. Barmy and wise sounds like the perfect combination

FeeTee - welcome to Gransnet. Enjoy yourself. We can be completely barmy and at other times wise and supportive. Depends what you want...

FeeTee Welcome welcome

FeeTee Most of us are 'harmless' I can guarantee that you will have fun and will be sharing experiences ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. A warm welcome to the gang

Here you are again FeeTee nice to see you around x

Hello, feetee and welcome. See you around on some of the threads!

Hello everyone. I have joined recently but this is my first post. I wanted to have a proper look around before I introduced myself - and I must say I really like what I see. I'm very much looking forward to being part of this

The first time I got drunk was on Babycham . In my 20s it was G&T or beer. Nowadays, I only drink if I'm in company, and then mostly white wine, preferably pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc. Also partial to a glass of cold prosecco. Cheers!

Ooh! Must try that, I used to be a big cider-drinker in the 70s and 80s...

You can't beat a nice pinot.

I like pear cider too.

Funny how these fashions for drinks go - I used to like Babycham and Cherry B in the 60s, then it was sherry, vodka and orange, gin and tonic, then I discovered wine - very sweet wine!! Then I developed my taste buds and good red wines. I hardly touch alcohol now - perhaps 1 or 2 glasses every couple of weeks. My children (adults) have discovered pear cider, which tastes just like Babycham!

When teenagers it was Cherry B and Cider,it was cheap and you always had a good time,it sent you to another planet.No wonder the 60s are all fogged up in my brain.

My guilty pleasure is Cherry B - when I can find it in the shops!
