And the award for "The Most Stupid Question" goes to.........

Damn, should have been "read" as the last word of the first para.

Still, I'm sure you get the gist.

So glad you found my post offensive, Grandad1943 at least I know it was understood.

Now, did you understand it, and how did it go down when you shared it with your "friends" in the office?

oh and the offensive post from Phoenix can remain etc
Too generous Grandad
As I recall it is GNHQ who decide whether to delete or not, and not you, but of course I could be wrong.
Clearly no overwhelming wave of deletion requests from other quarters however.

Don't worry I am still around but working with others until around 8pm

Oh, and the offensive post from Phoenix can remain, so no need to cut and paste.

Dangerous stuff, spam!
The thought of a warehouse loaded with spam ready to be inflicted on an unsuspecting population doesn't bear thinking about.

Perhaps this thread caused even more laughter in the office

To resort to street language "Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!"

(Sorry, rather uncouth!)

I thought they spent office hours looking at Gransnet
along with preparing huge warehouses ready for the invasion of spam.

phoenix, you forget that office hours may be only just over.

Down filled of course, or with thick polyester filling, for the vegans (although that won't sit well with the antiplastic supporters) Jalima.

We wouldn't want to risk getting a chill.

Actually, change that, of course it's only the Royal Family that get chills!

BTW, I notice that there has been no response from a certain quarter? (#innocentface)

We'll all be banned.
We could then go on a march in our gilets jaune

grumppa ! How militant would that be!

Gilet jaune!!!!!! Expletive deleted predictive text!

If we all copied Phoenix's post and pasted it on our iPads/phones/laptops for safekeeping, we could all put it back if it was deleted, along with a gilet jaunt logo.

annodomini that sums it up well.

I believe, in fact, that Les Dawson and his MIL got on very well indeed - they probably had a little giggle together about his jokes.

Grandad seems to be unaware that so many of his posts on many threads are misogynistic.

Having finally read through the thread, I see grandad1943 as an old codger who can't understand the affectionate tone of posts he misinterprets as misandry. The prefix 'mis' comes from a Greek word meaning 'hate'. Phoenix's OP was not hostile to men in general or her DH in particular. For centuries women have been the butt of jokes from not-very-funny comedians. Mothers-in-law in particular were the target of Les Dawson's gags. Was this misogyny? I don't think he hated women, but MiLs were an easy target and didn't usually bite back.

Terribull ??????

Brilliant post Phoenix, thank you. Loved two more balls for your tree . He’s such a pain in the a*se!

Indeed Phoenix a knobhead slightly irksome sort of fellow and amazingly transparent with it! Self satisfied doesn't even begin to describe such an ego, seemingly the size of a planet. I can't help thinking instead of crashing your thread, why didn't start his own. Something along the lines of "A Day in the life of an almost retired pensioner, called back to the front line, whilst simultaneously trying to police the shameful misandry and subversion on the exclusionary site known as GN" A bit of a mouthful, but I imagine being such a multi talented MAN he could precis that better than me. Anyway what a fascinating read it would be!

Applause Phoenix and thank you x

Here Here ?????

Phoenix -well said.
I was shocked by the reference Grandad made to his colleague's health. He justified it later by saying none of us know the name of his firm so can't identify the woman. That isn't the point is it and it's typical of someone so totally self absorbed that they don't know that.

Chewbacca I've certainly encountered people like that.

?

Well, my post is still there, but for now much longer is anyone's guess!

I just hope it lasts long enough for "him" to see it!

(He really is a self satisfied knobhead prig)
