In the supermarket this morning when I overheard a little girl very patiently and calmly explaining to her (I presume) mother why she shouldn't buy the vegetables she was looking at. Her reasons included they looked funny, they had been in the dirt (!) she didn't like the look of them wouldn't eat them and it would be better for mum to spend the money on something she would eat - like the sausage roll being sold at the hot food counter! She was putting her case in such a logical manner I think she will grow up to either be a scientist or a politician!

I like G and S too...
' the flowers that bloom in the Spring tra-la,
Have nothing to with the case,
I'm forced to take under my wing tra-la,
A most unattractive old thing tra-la,
With a caricature of a face....etc. ( not aimed at any Gransnetters) grin

grin I bet you were a lovely little maid from school!
I love G&S, sadly underrated these days.

I recognised your quote Daphne. I sang YumYum once. Would have to be TumTum these days.sad

Rather reminds me of Allo Allo, which character was it that was always jotting down names in a book, or am I getting confused with another sitcom

My comment which had me accused of being a playground bully was to quote Poo-Ba (?) from The Mikado who sings a song going "I've got a title list, and they'll none of them be missed"
PS it MIGHT have been Dad's Army, you know "Don't tell him, Pike!"

When in doubt say nowt.

What have I done??????

DaphneBroon Sun 14-Aug-16 16:58:09

Careful phoenix or you'll be joking me on the norty step for being childish grin

What exactly constitutes "bullying" in what I said jingl??
A harmless quote from The Mikado? You'll be seeing reds under the beds next.

NanaandGrampy Sun 14-Aug-16 16:20:43

I quite like sausage rolls.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 14-Aug-16 16:09:45

Santa won't come to the norty ones. grin

sunseeker Sun 14-Aug-16 16:08:04

Making a list (are you checking it twice!) gonna find out whose naughty or nice! grin.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 14-Aug-16 16:03:38

What exactly is she threatening?

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 14-Aug-16 16:02:25

Posts directed at one particular poster.

Jane10 Sun 14-Aug-16 16:02:15

I'm sorry that you don't perceive the implied threat in the post.

annodomini Sun 14-Aug-16 16:01:36

jane10 smile

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 14-Aug-16 16:01:11

You've reported that?!!!

There have been some diabolically horrible posts on Gransnet in the last couple of days, and no one seems to have batted an eyelid.

#shame

Jane10 Sun 14-Aug-16 15:52:55

In what way is s/he right? That we have no friends? That's real playground stuff. I've reported him/her for writing such a threatening post. I'm not hiding that I've done it. S/he can add me to the list.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 14-Aug-16 15:48:51

Marmark is right. And why shouldn't she make a list of posters she wants to avoid?

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 14-Aug-16 15:47:35

DaphneBroon your posts are sounding more and more like that of a silly little playground bully.

Sad really. flowers

phoenix Sun 14-Aug-16 15:44:57

shock Totally agree,Jane10

How gobsmackingly rude!

One thing to do it,i.e. make a note of names, quite another to brag post that you are going to do itshock

Rather reminds me of Allo Allo, which character was it that was always jotting down names in a book, or am I getting confused with another sitcom?

DaphneBroon Sun 14-Aug-16 15:38:05

Oh no! ??
Not another little list (?? and they'll none of them be missed??)!

Jane10 Sun 14-Aug-16 15:36:36

That is a really nasty and threatening post. Quite uncalled for.

Marmark1 Sun 14-Aug-16 15:26:03

I wonder if some of you have any real friends,so so bitchy.Will make a note of names,good job it's only a few.

sunseeker Sun 14-Aug-16 12:42:22

No worries jbf - we good (as I believe the kids say!!!)grin

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 14-Aug-16 12:37:54
