Does doing something remind you of a GN poster?

paddyann I usually scroll past your threads for obvious reasons. This time though... That bridge has been disastrous. It's had to be closed umpteen times due to dangerous lumps of ice potentially falling on cars.
As to your other comments I can only assume you live in some sort of SNP bubble totally oblivious to the rest of Scotland.
Sorry OP. Side tracked by unpleasant post.
I was just thinking about Phoenix and her annual cursing of the gammon.

Yes, when I clean the toilet I think of Callistemon. She asked me soon after I had joined GN to check if under the rim was stained. It was a thread about toilet brushes (sorry I know it's teatine). I sometimes wonder was she serious. But I didn't at the time, and I checked.

Is Anniebach alright? I don’t think I’ve seen her posting for a while.

Oreo

In case that’s not clear FannyCornforth if this thread is used as an excuse to have a pop at posters either still on here or those who have left it’s a poor do.

Oreo - I’m sure urmston knew I was smiling as I posted. We are northern women/girls on opposite sides of any political fence. We’ve been known to disagree but also not to take ourselves too seriously. It’s possible to disagree strongly about some issues without ‘having a pop on a light hearted thread’
Gransnet used to ge a bit more fun, where’s lemon grove when you need her

Merlotgran, I was thinking about Anniebach, haven’t seen her posting recently and hope she’s ok

I remember the toilet brush thread and said that I find a washing up brush good for cleaning under the rim….keeping it well away from the kitchen!!

Whenever I make a mistake with my puppy, I think I bet Iam64 would know what to do here.
Terribull you made me smile

I’m not Northern Iam64 so maybe that’s my mistake, fair ennuf if you and the OP have an understanding.
Am on loadsa forums and I see this stuff all the time, any old excuse to have a go, settle scores, old grudges, yada yada.
The bridge comment aimed at Aveline being one like that.
Ok kittylester I get your point and have had my say.

I think this thread started out very pleasantly until derailed by a usual suspect. It was started with good intention. Most posters responded accordingly. I was just thinking about anniebach recently as we both used to love Doc Martin and would post about it. She particularly liked that hapless policeman.

I think I read that Anniebach was having trouble using her iPad because of arthritis in her hands.

I too have been wondering if anniebach is ok

I do think about Anniebach too, especially when Welsh and the Eisteddfod are mentioned. I hope she's ok.

Sorry to hear her arthritis is stopping her posting.
I find using a stylus better than fingers or thumbs.

She particularly liked that hapless policeman.
Me too.
A useless fact: his niece played the youngest child in Outnumbered.

It’s the Curse for me KittyLester and the recipe she gave me for turkey and gammon pie. We’ll be having it on New Year’s Eve and I’ll raise a glass to a witty and generous lady.

Also wondering about Annie, hope she is able to read our collective concerns, she always said GN was a lifeline for her. Sorry to hear how debilitating her arthritis is. We send our best wishes if you see our thoughts about you Annie

That sounds delish Blossoming using up leftovers? Will you put that recipe on here? It needs a white sauce does it?

Whenever I think of the usual suspects I think of Aveline

Whenever I see people wild swimming I think of BlueBelle

Whenever I hear an owl I think of FannyCornforth

When I see people unable to drive their Chelsea tractors in the countryside I think of Lucca

I had to think and see because I don't have much time to do anything other than work atm, in the employed sense and freelance and when doing that I think of GSM who said I needed to do something more boring and better paid

Callistemon21. If I’ve done this right this link will take you to The Cursing of The Gammon.

Thanks, * Blossoming*.

JaneJudge - GSM is another interesting poster we don’t see now. We disagreed on lots of political stuff but we seemed to share a common view on essentiald

Indeed. When browsing European River Cruises for next year, I think of all the lovely (and knowledgeable) contributors to the Virtual Cruise threads which ran.
Well, the fun parts, anyway.

Ooh am I a 'usual suspect' JaneJudge?

Anniebach posted an update on how she is recently on Black Dog thread.

Every time I see a Tesco delivery 🚚 I think of Elderly Person

Ditto Taking in parcels for neighbours !
