1970's mood

Good morning all, I suspect it might be the cocktail of drugs I'm on ATM, but I'm in a very 1970's mood, peace and love to everyone, now if only I could grow my hair again (and get up if I sat cross legged)

SO :-

To all those that I have upset in any way over the past years as WB, Pompa, BOGOFF or any other name that i have flounced back from, I apologise.

I know I have upset some Gners, but never intentionally. I can honestly say that there is not a single Gner that I would not love to meet for a coffee in real life. I have only ever met one, but maybe there will be another day.

So please accept this apology as it is intended and hugs to you all (even the blokes)

Well you've never upset me but if you want to apologise I will accept with good grace.
smile wine thank you.

It's a bit early for wine but I'll send you a Marmite sandwich. Might be the last one for a while. grin

Ah I know the feeling about going all 70s. I found myself repeating 'nothing matters very much and very little matters at all' to all and sundry. Anyway you haven't upset me but I appreciate your sentiments. smileflowers

Never offended me either!

Peace, man.

Merlot, haven't had Marmite for ages, thanks. Question, why is a jar of Marmite always full or empty, never half way ?

Given what I've taken today wine is probably not a good idea.

merlotgran Thu 13-Oct-16 13:34:30

There's always at least one empty jar of Marmite in our cupboard because there's always enough under the rim to swoosh around with boiling water to make delicious gravy.

Problem is I keep forgetting they're there.

Vegemite would have been a bit more 'Seventies'.

Afternoon WB. I've never been offended or upset by you either. In fact, you often make me smile, even laugh too!
If you are tripping out on your meds, just enjoy the ride. Peace and love man. ??

nanaK54 Thu 13-Oct-16 13:43:41

Peace and love winging its way right back to you

If you really want to relive go to the brilliant exhibition at V&A museum. It was excellent. DH & I spent a couple of hours reliving 'our time' We met in '66 and married in '71 which was about the span of the exhibition! We also went to the history of underwear exhibition..that was QI too!

The 70s for me were the years of young(ish) motherhood. Small children take up a lot of time and energy; as for peace and love! Peace was at a premium; love...well hmm. We moved from Devon to Nottingham, from there to Leicestershire and on to King's Lynn all in the course of that decade.

Marmite? not for me. I took to Vegemite as it was the only yeast extract to be found in Nairobi in the 60s. I still prefer it.

I was a student then. Lovely clothes. Wasn't into hippy stuff though. Wasn't that more the 60s flower power stuff?
You've never offended me either Wobbly although I think I've upset you before -for which sincere apology.flowers

Wobblybits Thu 13-Oct-16 15:22:52

Jane, if you did upset me, I can't remember and don't intend to try. flowers

whitewave Thu 13-Oct-16 15:24:50

grin stop it!!!!

Charleygirl Thu 13-Oct-16 15:26:17

You have given me help and advice over the years for which I have been grateful.

Wobblybits Thu 13-Oct-16 15:26:36

Merlot, just seen the news, realise what you mean about the last of Marmite now.

Flower Power was late 60's early 70's, which was when we got married, 1967, the summer of love.

Jane10 Thu 13-Oct-16 15:36:30

Blimey strong medication Wobbly!

Let's go to San Francisco where the flowers grow so very high flowers smile

Re Marmite merlotgran
The fact that the ingredients of Marmite, one of the products at the centre of a price row between Tesco and Unilever, are manufactured in the UK calls into question why the drop in the pound should cause a hike in its price, but its brand power gives the supplier strength in the argument

Bob Marley!! The essence of the 70s!

rosesarered Thu 13-Oct-16 16:04:36

You are a sensitive soul wobbly and too shy and retiring for GN.smilechill out with a ? peace and love, man.

NotTooOld Thu 13-Oct-16 16:10:05

Wobbly - are you actually Pompa, then? I had no idea. How come others know? And you've never upset me either so more peace and love winging their way to you.

NotTooOld Thu 13-Oct-16 16:10:41

PS Which are the bits that wobble? grin

rosesarered Thu 13-Oct-16 16:13:13

Don't ask! grin

whitewave Thu 13-Oct-16 16:16:27

Take a leaf out of Marley's book - ganja is the way to relaxation!

rosesarered Thu 13-Oct-16 16:24:29

A leaf! Good one! grin although, on the subject of leaves, his girlfriend said that he loved a good cup of tea.
