Diversity

I have just seen there is a thread with the title, "Ancient Iranian pottery-making"

Just how diverse do you expect Gransnet to be?!

Don't extend it then, unless you can change the direction completely.for instance - how many different pictures of tree baubles can we post before Christmas? I shall go and photograph one of mine for a start. Back in a few minutes. Diversity here we come.

Galen - phew! jingl -

Btw, I haven't got a clue what this thread is all about.

And how could I forget -da dah- THE PEARLS
Now, decisions decisions, which strands to take?

Quoting Lara:

"Just wanted you all to know we are around...and wishing this thread would disappear "

Right! How long can we keep it going for. Till Xmas Eve? Boxing Day?

Ok!
Hold this space for pictures of gorgeous meals, lovely waiters and ----me!

There will always be disrupters and nutters - best ignored - or joked about. Certainly not taken seriously for goodness sake! Life's too short.

Don't go galen - your nautical wanderings are the nearest I will ever get to a cruise - please don't deny me that ongoing vicarious pleasure!

Galen. Don't go. Everyone will miss your " pearls" of wisdom. . And I'd love to hear about your upcoming cruise. Just for the sake of one rather unenlightened person who has really gone a bit too far this time with playground mutterings of reporting. Enjoy the Canaries, have a lovely time, and let us hear all about it too !

I went to a panto on Thursday with a JW. She is the GM of my GD's best friend and the four us went together. I had not met her before and she was charming and very friendly and loved the panto. Just a bit of diversion and reality really. I made my real point round about the the third post.

And GN ( when not being disrupted)

That is what relatives are about - and friends.

Elegran I don't have any JW rellies, happy to adopt some! But all my others are lovely too! Some I handle with more of a 'kid glove' approach than others but on the whole we all get on well, despite all our differences we have enough similarities to glue us all together!

Point. Missed. As per. Favete linquis soon.

Night night, everybody else.

Penstemmon Just read your list of denominations and you have missed out JWs. Can I fill that gap with a JW relative of whom I am very fond - she is a nice, funny, generous person, just like most gransnetters. We just have to avoid discussing religion in any depth.

And I thought my family were an interesting bunch!

Galen please stay.

Wow, Penstemmon with all that diversity we don't need anyone else at all!

don't let soon drive you away galen, we need good sense and wit. As for you soon you can clear off as quickly as you like. I have no interest in contributing any more to this, and suggest we all leave soon to it.

Lordy! Just read all 7 pages of this thread..sad woman that I am.. all I can say is that I am from a diverse family!

P.S. I do agree with GillT57

soon
company, enjoyment, fun, interaction, diversion.
It must be just me then that thinks that's what chatting is

After noon,
No comment.

You're not alone Galen. It's very wearing isn't it.
To think we might lose one of our most respected and popular posters because of her mindless drivel!
Perhaps GNHQ might advise us - if someone chooses to report not one specific post but an ongoing stream of inappropriate comments and unacceptable behaviour would an admonishment be handed out?
How many p*****-off posters does it take to have one nuisance advised that her attitudes are unacceptable? I assume of course that it would be kept on record ???

What a lot of boring c...p, I have read this with interest, you have all had a go at each other and for what. Who cares if the posters are black/white or sky blue pink/lesbian/gay/fat or thin/transsexual/bi sexual or hetrosexual.
I don't care and nor should anyone else.
