General Chat

Quite simply disgusted that the GR Team have not reinstated this by now.

Thanks Paula......I would love to know what they were laughing about... :-D

Lovely photo Cynthia <3

Missed this thread but guess it was about photos of grandparents?

I'm very fortunate in that I have quite a lot of photographs of both sets of grandparents for which I am really grateful.



A few weeks ago, I decided to pm all my contacts who had a certain family name in their trees, asking if they had any photographs they would be willing to share.

Some didn't but one came up with photos of my GREAT grandfather which she emailed to me. Absolutely brilliant and I was so pleased.

She also emailed me a photo of my paternal grandma's sister who was, to put it politely, ....er....of a rather unprepossessing appearance. She had 1 illegitimate child, 12 legitimate and two husbands....... :-S

Ah well, it takes all sorts I 'spose. :-D


I have changed my avatar to a photo of my two grandmothers having a giggle. It has only recently come to light and I think it's brilliant. It was probably taken in the late '30's early '40's.


:-D :-D

My fathers mother died in childbirth and his father died when he was thirteen years old, I have never seen a photograph of them. I just can not believe that this OP was RRd, what on earth is going on? I hope it is reinstated., I enjoyed reading other members comments and looked forward to watching this thread develop.

This one too? :-0 :-0 I thought this was a nice and interesting thread.

I do hope you get the photo soon <3

I did not see your original post as I log off each night once I hear my husband snoring on the sofa & can get hold of the remote :-D

what I missed now?

Ann your grandmother sounds very interesting to research, my friend asked me to help with her FH a few years ago and her GGrandmother sounds just like yours and I adored researching her I would of loved to have met her. :-D

Hopefully it will be reinstated in the morning.......SAD SAD SAD person.

Thank you Susan. Im posting from my phone so have not copied it. I feel confident genes will see nothing wrong and re instate it tomorrow. It just upsetting that people want to mess around with good threads. I have seen a few posts tonite and seen its been rr and everyones comments saying it was fine like the joke they cant all be wrong im sure the joke was fine .

well I'm still waiting for my innocuous posting on Sue's thread to be reinstated - from the day before yesterday!!

and this one being reported is absolutely ridiculous

I saw this thread before it was RR'ed nothing wrong with it,

Time to remove the report button and have a new live system that gets immediate action i think

Roy

Was thinking earlier today that all the rr'ing had stopped. Everyone trying to be nice.

This one is so bad that Genes have got to discipline the rr'er severely. It must be very distressing, Footie Angel.

And the joke that Roy told is very funny and almost as innocuous a thread.

Yes, Genes must try to nip it in the bud. What a shame they can't be named :-( :-(

If I am reading that right Bob..I see many posts about members missing their Mothers and putting up birthdays when she would have been 95 or whatever.

They upset me to be honest as I lost Mum in 1959 and I have very few memories so for someone to lose their Mum aged 70+ I think they were jolly lucky to have had the Mum for so long So I don't even look.

So are you saying that someone has a Grandfather who is terminally ill? or have I fallen off the wrong boat?

eh?

I read it and it was a good posting. What a shame. Put it up again Mel.

Lol my Grandad was quite gentle really, I keep trying to remember his face it saddens me I dont want to forget about him all together. Point taken though the 'Grandma' song made me cringe x

not condoning random RR'ing,

but many years ago,the song "Grandad" upset me,because it seemed to imply that Grandad was not going to be there, sometime,soon.......

maybe they are in a similar frame of mind?

Thank you to all who added I know we have seen some bad times on here but this is too awful. Thank you for your support. Will let you know when my cousin gives me a pic x

Hopefully it will be restored. I can't imagine there was anything wrong with it. Somebody with a sad boring life if they get their excitement from RRing posts for the fun of it.

Why would a post about me forgetting what my grandad looked like be rr'd. This site is getting a joke n certainly not worth £20 (or there abouts) subs I have just paid. 36 ppl viewed the post and saw nothing wrong. Whoever is rr'ing needs to get a life. I put up a very poininant post with nothing offensive in it at all. Sad this site as come to this :(
