I have just scrolled down the Christmas book thingy and amazed at all the grans there. Most I have never heard of, come on secret grans love to hear from you on our chat line!!!

Ok! Shall we not go there?! hmm

Unless you're really bored.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 16-Nov-14 10:07:17

Please don't let GN degenerate to the old nudge and wink stuff!

Is there a record of any grandad attending a meet-up - with or without a purple scarf?

TriciaF Sun 16-Nov-14 10:39:56

To the men on here - I can imagine what you feel like. One of the forums I belong to is male-dominated, it's all you guys, blokes, lads, fellas etc.
I hardly dare put a word in, and when I do I can see my view is always different from the masculine opinions.
I've tried to get my husband to join in here but no success yet.

Yes, I remember seeing the photos of a Grandad going to a meetup. Someone will most likely come along shortly to remind us.

Marmight Sun 16-Nov-14 11:09:38

I remember that too When. I have a feeling Galen was involved. -perhaps chez-Galen a couple of years back?

annsixty Sun 16-Nov-14 11:14:52

I think a GD,a man anyway, attended a get together at Galen's house. She posted some photographs,could be wrong!!

annsixty Sun 16-Nov-14 11:16:10

Great minds Marmight.

Marmight Sun 16-Nov-14 11:21:57

wink

Lona Sun 16-Nov-14 11:24:51

Yes, there definitely was a granddad who went to a few meetups. lefthanded you're not alone at being ignored, most of us are ignored some of the time or even quite a lot of the time, it's not because you're a man, it just happens!
That's life smile

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 16-Nov-14 12:33:57

Sometimes I'm quite glad of being ignored.

Greenfinch Sun 16-Nov-14 12:47:08

12Michael has suggested on the local forum (Oxfordshire) that he would be interested in a meet-up but it hasn't been taken up I don't think.

Lona Sun 16-Nov-14 12:55:05

It's hard to ignore you jings but it can be done wink

pompa Sun 16-Nov-14 16:12:03

TriciaF. I post fairly often and sometimes on subjects that are not targeted at men. Everyone (except JBF, who as you see earlier in this thread does not want my comments) appears to accept my input and even welcome it occasionally (except JBF)

My comments are often tongue in cheek and a little over the top, they seem to be taken in the right spirit (except for JBF)

Galen Sun 16-Nov-14 16:53:23

Yes! We had a man to a local meet at my house!

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 16-Nov-14 17:12:06

shock Well, you've made your feelings about me very clear in that post pompa. Thank you very much.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 16-Nov-14 17:15:10

"except JFB" x 3!

Do not try to bully me.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 16-Nov-14 17:16:02

"jBF". Silly way of shortening a name anyway.

pompa Sun 16-Nov-14 17:19:12

Like be clear about things, I know when my wink/wink nudge/nudge comments are not wanted. I shall continue my study of ladies in leggings in silence from now on (another pig flies across the sun !)

Love from pompa flowers

I like the posts from both of you, but have seen over the years how some personalities don't always gel. It's like having a dinner party and inviting your two favourite sets of people and being shocked when you realise they don't like each other. You just can't understand why not, but there it is. Ye gods that was a dreadful dinner party. One lot was accused of lying, the other lot was accused of being pretentious and I was asked how I could be friends with people like that by both sides.

pompa Sun 16-Nov-14 18:08:46

OMG, we are joking with each other -- posts are not serious. Sorry if anyone took my comments to heart.

Ana Sun 16-Nov-14 18:10:51

I don't think jingl was joking, pompa, although she's probably calmed down a bit by now.

janerowena Sun 16-Nov-14 18:14:08

I agree. Which just goes to show how easy it is to take things in a different way from that intended. But just you carry on, all you can do is be you.

pompa Sun 16-Nov-14 18:20:07

I would be very sad if I had upset her.

"Ok! Shall we not go there?! hmm

Unless you're really bored."

I was only responding to this post, which I never considered to be serious, in my usual way.

Jinglebellsfrocks, sorry if I have upset you. sad

Galen Sun 16-Nov-14 18:22:07

JBF doesn't like Rose either!
