All new members should have to undergo a probationary period...........

I dont think geographically it makes any difference on here , I am from the North East, but we are surrounded by fields.

I suppose it depends where you're from. You all from down south. I'm in the Midlands and we're all slightly bonkers here. Must be the fact that we are surrounded my fields.

ella 'more mad members' ......... give us a bad name

Welcome! This is what we need, more mad members!

pleased that you dont have to eat cake to qualify as I can take it or leave it... leave it mostly. But a vodka and tonic or a glass or two of wine now thats a different story altogether

I like gin, vodka and wine but champers does it for me every time. Nothing better than sitting in my hot tub drinking champers cos I can now I'm retired! Grand kids like it too. (The hot tub that is not the champers - they're a tad too young to be enjoying themselves).

I'm a newby too and thought I was joining a sane group of people who would be serious about life in general and especially about being a Grandparent. I can't tell you how pleased I am that I was wrong - you lot seem to be part of the barmy brigade and so 3 loud cheers for that !

Hello everyone. I'm new to this site and forum. I have pearls but threw the Twinset away years ago but have a shawl. How many posts before I'm through my probation?

I like gin and I have some pearls, but they're not real, and I don't have a twin set thank goodness.

I think I'm a little bit odd sometimes, but I don't have access to any black balls!

Does it matter what colour the twin set is. As I don't already have one, I thought I'd rush out and buy one but I'd check the most acceptable colour. I do have pearls but not quite sure where they are and I can't stand gin. [worried emoticon]

But, I lurve cake

I don't really like cake either but am partial to the occasional glass of gin and tonic. If anyone has to take a test, it should be graduates. I don't like twinsets but do like pearls. I thought it was [red] wine that was said to dissolve pearls. The way to keep pearls lustrous is to wear them – dead easy. I like odd and I like a lot of odd gransnetters. I could list you but GNHQ will delete me – you know who you are. I like being odd too. So there.

No - a cheese and onion quiche. I am a very savoury person!

What do you do for your birthday? Stick a candle in a sausage roll?

Swiss roll....not fat fingers. I'm in shock.

You don't like CAKE Ana? Not even angel cake? Or carrot cake? Or chocolate brownies? Or battenburg? Or swiss role? Or, or, or, or.........

I was referring to feetle's 'family jewels' which he referred to in the singular. I was medically interested, not to strange people!

Gosh Frank , you Have been told !!

I for one cannot really see the harm !!!

I don't like cake....am I banned?!

Galen

Can you name any other odd people on Gransnet?.

Frank

Galen !!

Only one?

It's mostly sentimental value these days...

(I may weep...)

Feetle keeps a tight hold on his family jewels !!!
