I really love GN but is it just me,that sometimes finds it a bit cliquey?

Yiayia4 Wed 01-Aug-18 19:56:01

Thanks Chewbacca will plod on.

Maggiemaybe, I have never forgotten how kind you were when someone was having a go at me.
Keep on posting. flowers

Jalima1108 Wed 01-Aug-18 19:49:22

Yes, you can join the one I have started with bikergran on another thread smile

Knock four times and the password is Gransnet but don't tell anyone else.

Maggiemaybe Wed 01-Aug-18 19:45:31

And you? Silly, stupid, ridiculous? Never in this world.

Shall we form a clique?

Maggiemaybe Wed 01-Aug-18 19:36:47

Gosh, thanks, Jalima. blush

Jalima1108 Wed 01-Aug-18 19:32:48

shock Maggiemaybe - you are never any of those things.

But apparently I was ridiculous sometimes!

Maggiemaybe Wed 01-Aug-18 19:31:33

Or being told you’re boring, or self righteous, or ridiculous, or rude when you haven’t been. I’ve had a chequered GN career. grin

I get knocked down, but I get up again.... (another one for the song thread?).

Jalima1108 Wed 01-Aug-18 19:31:30

Plagiarism is alive and well on GN!!

sometimes I have posted a reply to a thread,only for someone later down the thread to say the same thing and everyone else then agreeing with them.
oh yes, happens all the time!!

To me too ???

Jalima1108 Wed 01-Aug-18 18:37:27

Or thinking you're being interesting or even erudite - and then to be told Don't be so silly or That's really stupid

kittylester Wed 01-Aug-18 18:23:41

That happens to me all the time!

I suppose if threads become rather long and meandering it's impossible to read every post

Keep posting Yiayia4, it's a bit like learning to ride a bike! You wobble a bit at first, but then you suddenly find you're away and going with the rest of them! Don't give up!

Yiayia4 Wed 01-Aug-18 18:10:37

Not been on here very long but tbh feel most of the time I'm posting to myself!! But will plod on as love the concept of Gransnet.

Sodapop and Fennel an invisibility cloak would be useful in real life ?

sodapop Wed 01-Aug-18 11:13:42

Me too Fennel&Jenpax it's the cloak of invisibility! !

Fennel Wed 01-Aug-18 11:13:01

re looking at profiles in blue - there was also a thread with our photos. Can't remember the title.
Has that gone too?

Fennel Wed 01-Aug-18 11:10:04

Same here, jenpax.
It happens even more on Mumsnet, which seems to have a much bigger membership.
In a way it's better to have a smaller membership when it's a topic for discussion. You can get a proper discussion.
Unless it gets too lively!

jenpax Wed 01-Aug-18 10:17:01

I too have felt ignored and invisible many a time on here. sometimes I have posted a reply to a thread,only for someone later down the thread to say the same thing and everyone else then agreeing with them. I don’t let it put me off.
By and large I enjoy GN and the different topics there is a lot of good stuff on here

bikergran Wed 01-Aug-18 09:26:08

Jalima1108 Tue 31-Jul-18 23:22:49

Anyone can join - knock four times, the password is Gransnet, shhh.

bikergran Tue 31-Jul-18 21:20:48

ha soz if I've blown your cover smile pair of dark glasses should do the trick. ! (Oh and maybe a mustache) (thats if you haven't already got one..... grin (like me) !

Jalima1108 Tue 31-Jul-18 17:25:55

You could have fooled me Jalima
