To expect a thread title to give some clue about the contents??

Grannylin That sounds just like the place we go to when we visit the UK.
Far from bizarre, in fact. Just a fine and calm place to spend time.

It really wouldn't make any difference if the header was explicit about the topic, because, as nellimoser says, we'd wander off course as always, wander back if someone pointed us back on course, the someone would say "Have you ever..." and we'd be off again. Lovely!

Agree, Ariadne. It would be amazing if the content gave some clue about the subject. And, personal private moan, I wish people would read or flick through or skim at least one or two of the previous posts. Then we wouldn't go round and round and round and round repeating the same bloody arguments. [exhausted and frustrated emoticon]

Oh well, the smiley posts lasted for seven before someone started moaning again. Hey ho.

Counting from grannylin's Lake District story. I know there were some non-moaners before that too.

The vast majority of total posts are from non-moaners, though|!

One option on the threads where someone posts a link without explaining why is to just ignore the thread. I try to stick to this. GN is growing and you could be on here all day if you tried to keep on top of every thread. Full time distraction potential.
I do try to avoid the ones that are obviously going to be "aint it awful" threads as well. Life seems to have enough hassle in it at the moment without going looking for additional reasons to be indignant. Isn't there another thread about this... oh yes the judge not one.

'Spect you're right, ana. I really must moderate the severity of those hey hos

Please keep hey-ho-ing Bags I like it that way.

Nothing wrong with the odd hey ho here and there! I wasn't complaining...

I know . #piss-taker extraordinaire, that's me

Apropos - 91 year old father thread - I got over-excited only to find that he wasn't having a great time with his new baby after all.
