Happy birthday Jingle
Hope you have had a good day. flowerswine cupcake
Tried to PM you but wont accept message so dont know if you are having a break away from GN, I am not around much so out the loop.

It surprises me that older grans who say it how it is are now on MN and accepted with their wisdom. To get rid of Jings is appalling!

I saw a different point of view being described as angry on here today. I expect that poster, who was ignored will leave. I thought she had a very interesting point of view.

Agree Phoenix . Jingle may be a bit volatile sometimes, but nowhere near as vindictive and nasty as some are.

phoenix Wed 28-Sept-16 22:34:37

As mentioned, jings and have had one or two disagreements over the years, but I'm not happy to hear that she has been banned sad

Looking back on some recent threads, I feel that there are other "members" who were far more deserving of that!

(No names, no packdrill, as I believe the saying used to go.)

cornergran Wed 28-Sept-16 22:32:34

I'm saddened that jingl has been banned. Will miss her humour and perception sad. May need to get my head around Twitter.

Jalima Wed 28-Sept-16 22:31:18

Let's hope it is just temporary.

NfkDumpling Wed 28-Sept-16 22:29:43

Many Happy returns jingle wherever you are wine

Please try to come back. Somehow.

Are they so strict on Mumsnet? I think not!

Ana Wed 28-Sept-16 22:28:18

The reporting of posts certainly seems to be going on much more recently. Sometimes people even say 'I'm reporting that'. Ridiculous!

merlotgran Wed 28-Sept-16 22:28:17

They need to let her back in. We're NOT children. There are plenty of threads for the sensitive souls who don't get jingl's style. Some of us like a bit of edginess and she was always up for it.

Without jingle Gn wouldnt be the same angry
I dont know if its since Geraldine left and HQ and the new members just dont get jingle but its a sad day for GN.sad

Jalima Wed 28-Sept-16 22:21:25

We could all go on Twitter instead .....
I have never tweeted

Happy birthday Jings! grin

Just read the above post from thatbags. The goose will kill the golden egg with its reporting.

Such a shame that intelligent dissent can be got rid off and a regimented forum take its place.

thatbags Wed 28-Sept-16 22:13:41

Bad, isn't it, merlot? HQ usen't to be so silly, giving in to every complaint about offensiveness. I wonder what changed.

Jessielovestuna Wed 28-Sept-16 22:12:25

Oh, never on the Archers. I switched my car radio to Radio 4 from Radio 1 very recently. I was probably the oldest Radio 1 listener ever. When "flowers in the rain" came on, I stayed until I was 64. It defeated me in the end.

I hope jessielivestuna is ok. She is a very old cat of mine, and she still loves tuna smile.

merlotgran Wed 28-Sept-16 22:09:38

FFS. angry

Is this Gransnet or Toddlernet?

Ana Wed 28-Sept-16 22:07:29

Thanks, bags. So do I.

thatbags Wed 28-Sept-16 22:05:27

Jings let me know via Twitter that she has been banned from Gransnet. I hope she is allowed to reregister soon.

thatbags Wed 28-Sept-16 21:58:54

Well done, glass smile

Happy Birthday, jings. You've been in my thoughts today. x

aggie Wed 28-Sept-16 21:56:09

Many happy returns of the day Jings xxxx

merlotgran Wed 28-Sept-16 21:46:58

We have noticed Jessie but jingl often nips off on short breaks/holidays.

Might I suggest you don't set foot on the Archers thread with that username? grin

NanKate Wed 28-Sept-16 21:44:14

Anya posted on the Low Carb thread recently that she was taking a bit if a break from GN whilst her step sister is having a holiday with her.

NanKate Wed 28-Sept-16 21:42:14

Hope you have had a good Birthday Jing, us September Babes must stick together. flowers

Jessielovestuna Wed 28-Sept-16 21:41:30

Maybe she got reported once too often? How nobody has noticed that she hasn't posted amazes me. There are a few people who have vanished recently. Where is Anya?

merlotgran Wed 28-Sept-16 21:41:03

She was joking about needing another holiday but if PMs are not getting through I fear someone has pressed the button on the ejector seat.

phoenix Wed 28-Sept-16 21:34:41

Where is she??? confused

(Still have some regard for her, even though she had a pop at me on another thread!smile)
