Genealogy Chat

Anne

I think that is a very good idea.


There are several threads being "nudged" regularly by a small coterie of people ....... so it isn't difficult.


AND hopefully at least some people will see the tips and pay heed to them!!!!




OH picked up the tickets for our Christmas trip yesterday. He had to go down to the VIA Rail Station to pick them up in person as they will no longer mail them out.

He said he thought he had got "Mr Gormless" ....... but he turned out to be "Mr Very Helpful and Knowledgeable"!! He looked at the tickets as sent from HQ, and immediately said "I'm going to re-write and re-issue these so that you get exactly what you want".


Into the safe with them.

How about we set up one on the old board with just Sues front sheet & just keep nudging it or adding tips & hints only & keep the chat on this one.

We can then keep all the FH info on there to remind ourselves.

How does that sound to everyone - best of both worlds there.-

Just popped in for a quick look around - inbetween BA strike calls - doing my head in .

Will try & pop in again later if I can

Take care all

Hello everyone,

I was about to pop in and say hello the other day but couldn't find the thread, so I thought,
"Oh dear, they've all got fed up of waiting for me to come back so they've put me on the black list!"
and then Cynthia sent me a pm to say you'd been deleted, again!
You must have been very naughty to have that done for a second time, maybe it's all this talk of Horlicks, or Hot Chocolate before bedtime?

I have been around helping out now and then, but I have so much to do about the house and garden I just look in when I need a break.
I'm still flying backwards and forwards to England to look after our Dad, he's not doing too badly at the moment so hopefully that will continue for a while.

Anyway, glad to see that you are all well and keeping busy. I'm off to do some shopping now but will look in later.

Love to all!
Catherine

Hi Everyone

I have just had another reply to my lastest email to Genes.
..........................................................................................................
Dear Susan

Thanks for your email

We're pleased you've reposted the thread as it sounds very helpful. As long as it doesn't contain any material which could offend anyone we're happy for it to stay.

Genes moderators would have only removed the thread if it breached the t's and c's of the message board guidelines.


Best regards,

I don't know what we said on the thread for them to delete but I think I will keep this email just incase they go back on there word for it to stay.

We may be lucky with it on Tips but not so many people will see the helpfull hints we give ,I did point this out to Genes.

I am happy with this how about everyone else.

Better get dinner or I will be in trouble from the OH,he just came in from work.
Catch you all later.

I'll do your ironing willingly Sue.....if you will do my cooking! Mind you, the cooker has thrown a wobbler so I think it will be a takeaway until I can get it fixed.



My OH used to get the slipper apparently....and once a high heeled shoe because it was the only thing in reach! I used to get walloped on the top of the leg and became a member of the 'Red Hand Gang'. Just think, you couldn't get away with it nowadays - more's the shame!


Must rush. Back later. By the by, anyone coming to my birthday party at the end of the month? We could use it as an excuse to celebrate getting back together again!!

Hi Everyone

So glad to see you all again,it would take more that deleting our thread to get rid of us

Cynthia I did get the same reply as you but I sent a message back telling them all about the thread and the fact we have now put it on Tips ,that sugest to me that it is oK to leave it alone.
Tips mean Tips on how to seach the boards so they have no reason to delete again.

Glad to hear you have a new Pm in the Uk,now the country may be able to get back on its feet again,it has been a tough time for you all .

We have faired well over here ,we were given a stimulus package to keep the economy going and it worked now we have to pay it all back but slowly and be back in the black by 2013 so they say anyway

I must say I was given the belt as well but my dad has said sorry for that but it was the way back then,mind you kids today are a lot worse than we were and they need a few clouts ,I think anyway.

My grandchildren have had a few taps on the backside .

I am into the ironing today ,very boring I know but it has to be done sometime I guess.

Catch you all later today.
Suex

O K Frank I will make us some Milky cocoa, do you fancy a few cream crackers with it

I was usually walloped with the belt but sometimes a large pan would come flying past my ear....I was usually running at the time !!

Sorry Evelyn, I'm afraid that Cynthia didn't even bring the hot milk so it's going to be bread & water for supper tonight.

It was me that deleted, I posted twice by mistake, old age catching up with me
Evelyn

Please Frank can I have Cocoa instead of Horlicks?
When I was a nipper it was the copper stick I got slapped with not the rolling, mother always used a milk bottle to roll the pastry, I wouldnt have liked a slap with one of those.
So you have a new P M lets hope all goes well with the new coalition.
Goodnight all

Well it's good to see that it takes more than a simple deletion to deter this gang!

However, to anyone who has not joined us before....please....feel welcome to join in with us at any time. We're crackers but nice and not exclusive.

I have had a look for Robert in my threads but I have 12 pages with that name in and I can't remember his surname. I do hope he doesn't feel we have deserted him in his shell. Maybe he will catch up with us soon.

Frank, you should be flattered by all the attention you received. Please tell your delightful OH that 'the old fogies' are only thinking of your welfare. You will need some tender loving care after Sylvia wallops you with that rolling pin.

A busy day here. A nasty reply from a member. An oven which has gone wonky.....all in a day's work.

.....and, a new Prime Minister!

Good to see you all again. Cx.

Anne my dear,

I must agree that all of this nightwear chit-chat amongst us old fogies was obviously too much for the kiddies that make the rules these days and goodness only knows what they will make of Sylvia's rolling pin!

You will get us deleted again with your Satin & Lace.

Where's our Cynthia with the Horlicks :))

OH dear - Rolling pins at dawn me thinks

I'm with Evelyn - I think us old fogies were a mite too spicy for the tender folks reading our banter.

All that talk of Wyncyette & long teeshirts was just one step too far, I have to stick by what I said earlier (& had it deleted) I prefer Satin & Lace on a nightie or Silk

Won't carry on in that train of thought - incase we are removed again.

Glad we are all back together again.

Night Night all

blue rinse?????????


I would have you know that I don't have a blue rinse


and yep, a 80+ year old wooden rolling pin is to be cherished!

old fogies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


methinks the rolling pin needs to be rmoved from the back of the drawer!


It was me muvver's rolling pin ..... so it's seen a lot of use*





sylvia



* rolling dough I mean :)))))

It has come to the attention of Genes Reunited that Sylvia is reputed to have been trawling the boards disguised as a Na'vi of Pandora fame.
The only redeeming feature of this deception being the inclusion of a Wyncyette nightie which caused quite a flutter amongst the older members.

See what you started Cynthia with your blue skinned goosebumpy description of our Canadian emigrant..........

GR were probably just shocked by further allegations that Sylvia was a tartan slipper wearing Smurf clothed in a wyncyette nightie..........pretty shocking for those unfamiliar with such a sight :))

I must agree Sylvia,that you probably would be a bit blue if you were out in -20* wearing a nightie!

I must thank all you lovely ladies for your messages regarding the loss of our thread.

My OH was rather curious as to why I was receiving so many messages from these "female admirers" but I just told her it was the old fogies ;)))

Hello Everybody,
See I found you, you cant hide from me.
Nice to be back on line, maybe satin and lace upset someone. Perhaps 3rd time lucky.
Its very windy here today but at least it is dry, I hope the wind drops by Friday when we catch the ferry home, or I know someone that will be feeling queezy.
We had a lovely lunch today , no not Horse Meat.
We will be back in France for July.
Ron is still lazing around, I really must get in touch with Viv to see if I can borrow a cattle prod.
Fingers crossed that everyone will find us.
Love to all my friends


Evelyn

I'm sure I added to this earlier today??? Mind you, it was early so maybe I didn't click on submit???

I think I may have Robert in my threads so will look later on. I will also let Evelyn and Reece know if that helps. There is also Catherine and Debbie.

This is the reply I have received from Genes

Thank you for your email. If the thread has been removed I regret it cannot be reinstated. Genes Reunited would not remove the thread unless there were inappropriate comments or the message was unsuitable for the message board.

I have emailed back wondering if they are being age discriminatory!!! Well, what else was there to object to on the thread for heaven's sake???

Hope you all have a good day. Will pop back later. Cx.

Ok what was it we said this time

Bet it was all the discussions on Nightware that sent it off this time.

Glad to be back together again

Wonder how long it will last this time?
