All types of threads, all types of posters (well, maybe not quite all, bugger off go away if you want to talk about Vans versus Shoe Zone or Onesies)

Lighthearted
Asking for help/good wishes/support
Having a moan when it all gets too much
Having a moan over something minor, even!
Sharing good news
Sharing bad news (see above, re help & support)
Games
Politics (but keep it under control, please)
Gardening
Etc etc etc.

If you have a look at the list of forums/thread topics, there are LOADS, should be something to suit everyone, surely?

I don't knit or sew, pretty hopeless at craft stuff (although I will be attempting some homemade C word decorations this year) so I don't usually look at those threads.

My general style (although I don't post as much as I used to) is along the lines of light hearted observational stuff, sometimes about falling in wheelie bins blush sometimes about the daft doings of my cats. Yes, I would generally put those under the "Pets" heading, if you don't like pets, then don't read.

A couple of minor events in my life lately have had me almost approaching the keyboard, with the intention of posting something that might be found amusing by some, but I have resisted the temptation. Bit sad, really.

You know I still miss Jing with all her acerbic comments. Other than that I find some contributors quite nasty, but on the whole we are a pretty good bunch. flowers

So where do you normally post your comments that people find funny Phoenix ...think I have missed them but always up for a giggle!

Madgran77 as you may have read, I don't post as often as I used to, but there are a few threads from a long time ago that have been revived/resurrected.

Phoenix, whenever I see one of your threads, it makes my day. Your lovely cat stories always make me laugh, and I seem to remember a recent one including your DH and his "helpful" ways...
Please dont give up on us. Gransnet would be a sad place without your stories xx

All together now
?"Just a thong at twilight
pants were drooping low
And that old elastic
Was about to go
Though the question beckoned
Would they last that long
If they reached your ankles
Should you ditch that thong?
That saggy old useless thong"?
