Anyone who has noticed that she hasn't posted for a while might not be surprised to learn that she's unable to receive PMs.

We all know what that means.

I do wish the modern tendency to take offence on behalf of others over quite trivial stuff would calm down.

thatbags Sun 15-Jan-17 20:49:00

An old Jings comment comes to mind at this point: "stuffed shirts".

thatbags Sun 15-Jan-17 20:47:59

petra's comment is obviously a leg-pull. It might not be the kind of humour that appeals to many but people don't have to get so shirty about it.

Ceesnan Sun 15-Jan-17 20:44:45

But you must admit that she did get quite wound up about Brexit and certainly didn't pull any punches when it came to expressing her opinion of those who had dared to be stupid enough to vote to leave. If I remember rightly at one time they were "too thick to know better". Is it any wonder some are less than enamoured?

Agree with the last few comments and as I said before GJ made a very generous offer some months ago, which received many positive replies at the time.

annodomini Sun 15-Jan-17 19:49:20

Quite right, J52! No matter how much you may disagree with someone there is no need to be insulting.

wot Sun 15-Jan-17 19:21:41

And "banging on" is not a very nice way to put it.

varian Sun 15-Jan-17 19:18:55

If you're still out there, reading this thread, please come back, Granjura. I'm sure I'm not the only gnetter who valued your contributions.

Jane10 Sun 15-Jan-17 19:15:35

I particularly disliked the comment about her 'taking in washing' . I think I can understand why people might leave the sort of forum where this sort of thing is said. I know it wasn't you who said that Ana.

wot Sun 15-Jan-17 19:14:48

Good on anybody who needed to and did so (take in washing) better than going hungry.

J52 Sun 15-Jan-17 19:10:29

I did not intend to post on this thread,but I know GJ in RL, I can assure that she would not be in a position to have to 'take in washing'.

I am saying no more, good evening.

Ana Sun 15-Jan-17 18:40:52

I don't see how my post could be construed as 'nasty'. It stated the truth, nothing more, nothing less.

wot Sun 15-Jan-17 18:19:50

So do I.

Eloethan Sun 15-Jan-17 18:17:25

petra and ana Rather nasty comments. I like granjura.

Jane10 Sun 15-Jan-17 18:16:51

Stop being so nasty about GJ! You may not agree with her views but some of the comments here are quite out of order and I'm very surprised to read them. shock

Jalima Sun 15-Jan-17 18:13:16

My remark was not meant as a criticism.

Determination is a positive thing.

Cherrytree59 Sun 15-Jan-17 18:09:29

grannypiper it wasn't 6 months ago gj posted around xmas that she was staying at home with DH for Christmas & going to see her family in UK January

wot Sun 15-Jan-17 18:06:05

She was lovely about rescuing her cat so I don't like to read anything "off" about her even if I get told off for that.

Jalima Sun 15-Jan-17 18:04:15

She said she was going to, and did it.
A woman of determination.

Ana Sun 15-Jan-17 18:01:20

granjura flounced, as she had done many times before. She said she was going to, and did it.

I really doubt that there is any cause for concern about her welfare.

Stansgran Sun 15-Jan-17 17:56:18

I think I have her everyday email from when I was in Switzerland at the time of the search for Greatnan but I don't know if it's still used and if she would answer me.

wot Sun 15-Jan-17 17:45:22

Don't be like that.

petra Sun 15-Jan-17 17:01:58

I doubt if granjura can afford to come to the uk now. I'm sure some wink will remember that she never missed an opportunity to go banging on about how bad things were since the brexit post. Probably taking in washing.

grannypiper Sun 15-Jan-17 16:39:38

How can anyone remember what another poster said 6 months ago?, i cant remember what anyone said yesterday confused

Cherrytree59 Sun 15-Jan-17 16:31:16

I hope I've got it right this time!
but I'm sure Granjura said on a post she would be over in UK visiting her family in january
If that's the case I expect she will quite busy at the moment.
