What the.......?

And probably upsetting a good proportion of gransnetters who have got quite enough on their plates at the moment. (Sorry)

Kangaroo? Are they eucalyptus?

In the unlikely possibibility that one slender gran is capable of deforesting,in her lifetime, ALL of Scotland. How long would it take all the Scottish grans?

If seven maids with seven mops, swept it it for half a year
Do you suppose the walrus asked that they could get it clear?

That was in reply to E.

F - only pulling her wee leg. smile

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 12-Sept-14 11:03:34

Och nae! We wouldna want any damage done to a puir wee lassie now wud we?

Kangaroo court before we start? (just as a formality you understand)

If I were to believe that b was engaged in the de-forestation of Scotland then I would be most unhappy. #crosspollinationofthreads

How big are the trees, jings ? If they are just saplings, would they hold the weight of a gransnetter? Most of us are fairly . . . substantial.

Thatbags should clarify this. We don't want to send a deputation up a tree just to have the trunk bend over and drop them onto the boggy brae.

Galen Fri 12-Sept-14 10:45:25

Does anyone understand what Jings is on about?
Has Bags been chopping down trees again?

Say it quickly and it sounds just about right for the chainsawer.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 12-Sept-14 10:13:42

I was just going to apologise for the misspelling. (It's early. For me)

durhamjen Fri 12-Sept-14 10:12:11

Was that a Freudian 'r', Jings?

(please note this is in "Chat". Not "Environment")

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 12-Sept-14 10:00:01

Should we allow this to continue?

Is it besmirching name of Gransnet? (We all know which gransnetter is responsible for most of it)

Is there anyone in the neighbourhood willing, and able, (especially able) to climb a tree and stay there. Could the kitcheners supply the necessary rations to the protestor?
