Right, I've just about had enough! There is room for EVERYONE!

Sounds fair enough to me! People can choose not to read what doesn't interest them, is my take on things.

Please don't be put off phoenix , you're posts are always a joy to read and always make me smile. There will always be a miserable bugger out there, just waiting to put a sour note of misery to spoil any fun. We just have to be glad we don't wake up next to them in a morning and have to suffer their company for the rest of the day! could be wrong, often am?

I agree, nice to be able to laugh sometimes and nothing matter with a rant occasionally.
But be careful phoenix the powers that be might think this is a thread about threads and delete everything!!

Phoenix, you usually brighten up my day, if not everyone's. Keep on posting and making me smile. I love to hear of you doings, falling in wheelie bins, about the cats etc. Why the h..l can't we post a lighthearted thought to brighten the day? If someone's having a bad day, we usually commiserate, but it's not fair to put a big downer on a lighthearted theme, and turn it sour. Is it? I will disappear now and sort out the dishes.

I agree let's have some fun.! Tell us about the cats!

Auntieflo fortunately I have managed to avoid falling in wheelie bins after that unfortunate incident, although alas life is not entirely incident free, nearly had a dunking in the lake yesterday when I misjudged the equation that I was never taught at school, i.e the one that relates to the optimum position for stick throwing, in relation to the slipperiness and lack of traction on the bank!

Thanks to both you and Chewbacca for your kind comments!

You lost my support Phoenix by including 'Games' in your list!

They should be banished from the 'Discussions' page ... rant over.

I love your cat stories Phoenix, and the curse!

Yep keep posting Phoenix
I enjoy your posts catastrophes and your hair raising adventures

Phoenix
Please don't stop. Your one of those, I would say, gifted people who when they write something funny, it really is.
You have a way with words that makes it so real.
I'm crap at words so the words in my head don't come out on paper. Now if this was verbal, I'm brilliant.

Sorry Riverwalk I don't do the games myself, but was trying to include as many members as possible!

Oh phoenix don't give up please. If I look down the list of threads and see something a bit different or funny I usually think that'll be phoenix then. I'm not usually wrong. I love your posts and we need your sense of humour. GN would be a much more boring place without your input compliments galore, please send cheque in post as agreed

Thank you to all who have posted such lovely compliments about my ramblings, they are really appreciated!

Now, I must go and try to make Digby and Oliver Sprout do something "interesting", where did I put that electric cattle prod.............?

Hi phoenix it's great to see your posts - always!!

Another one here that likes your posts Phoenix!

And me too Phoenix. You are a breath of fresh air! Much needed.

I've given up watching Bake-Off to follow and respond to this thread (Ok, ok - it is an advert break, but still...)

Phoenix you are so right - something for everyone here and if something is not to your liking it is easy to find something that is.

Room for all and all for ... Oo-er, that didn't quite work. Still, YES to this thread. Now back to bake off ...

I don't know about the wheelie bin incident but I feel I'd like to know!

I second that!

Yes, Yes, Yes! I know there are members who seem to want to be serious all the time but many of us look forward to light hearted exchanges. So I'm backing Phoenix

- has something happened while I was out at choir? - I wasn't gone very long! Nothing phoenix has said in her OP is remotely contentious and is, I think what most posters see as the function of Gransnet. Someone bring me up to date.

I love Phoenix's posts.

Hello again,

The wheelie bin thing had a title of something like "Apart from arnica" I've tried using the search thing, but no luck!

The wheelie bin incident.........curiouser and curiouser!
