GrumpNet

May I make a suggestion. Pointless question, as I going to make it anyway.

When some GNers try to lighten up a thread with a witty comment etc, they often get shouted down by the Grumps. There are so many of us that are AntiGrumps, we should dive in and support our AntiGrump mates.

Yes, there is a difference pompa
(just had to calm DH down a bit as he was grumping at the computer )

Imperfect27, glad to see you have left your grumpiness behind, go and buy your GC a little treat, go on, you know you want to, even if it's bad for them. That's what GP's do.

Had a great session at the ukulele club last night, still smiling this morning.

We have to be sad at today's news, but let's not be grumpy.

wot I hope they are safe

oh the nastiness gets everywhere!

Perhaps GN should carry a health warning:

Gransnet is bad for your blood pressure

(how on earth can it get nasty on a gardening thread? If I look will it shoot my blood pressure up?)

roses and and a few flowers from my garden - not much at this time of the year, should look like a bunch of daffodils.

Has anyone thought that sitting on the sofa posting things on Gransnet and FB etc makes you grumpy?

Real life is outside and although parts of it might be disappointing it is real and better than talking to people we actually don't know.

Good Morning I haven't read every posting in this thread but I get the general gist. I read a book sometime ago about NLP which said you can decide to be happy. When I get down and grumpy which I do I try to think of that and its quite hard going at times. I don't join I the arguments in Gransnet although I do read them and see if I can see both sides. Some postings make me laugh out loud and some make me despair and I hope overall it wont be the death of this site because I think its a good and positive thing. So have a happy day today if you can.

Thanks Anya. I was a grump yesterday - haven't caught up with my 'treats and rewards' thread yet, as I was out all day, but in I couldn't agree more and will try to limit my grumpiness to things that really matter .

Hope your relatives are ok wot you must feel truly sick with the worry

Now worried sick about my relatives in Brussels. What's happening to our world????

Because it's now gone into the garden centre thread I started........oh the nastiness gets everywhere!

We couldn't possibly say, obieone...

Do we think it is the political threads? That there are too many of them? Which make some of us a bit antsy?

glass...

As Emilia Fox once said (not a quote but words to that effect): 'It is so difficult to get acting parts when you come from a famous family'
ROFL rather than grump!

Oh, ioved Haley Mills in Whistle Down the Wind!

I knew you would nag

That the problem with old films/tv programmes, you forget that the actors are now old, because they are forever young on screen.
I remember once thinking that Hayley Mills wasn't all that good ( at acting.)

glass, I so agree...

My husband is besotted with Hayley Mills. I have bought him The Family Way, his favourite film. It arrived today. Isn't it it sad to see how Hywel Bennett has aged. He was so handsome in his youth. But then we all were?

pompa I agree with you - where has all the humour gone. In the early days we had a good mix of debate, moans etc but overall the humour shone through. What's happened to everyone sorry I am not around much at the moment so it could be said I have no right to comment... but thats what I think.
< ducking behind the sofa>

Hayley Mills did but, thank goodness, no longer (I used to see her quite often where we lived before).

Does anyone suit the Hayley Mills pigtails and cheesy smile look?

for what I thought was a light-hearted comment,
ooh er, never be light-hearted badenkate

pensionpat Congratulations, that is great news
and a

Right can we decide whether we are behind the barricade or in a hole please? I thought it was Les Miserables who manned the barricade? Do we want to be Miserables? Mais non!

annsixty imo that is a waste of NHS resources. But then, I have never worn a bikini so I don't miss wearing one

I will try not to be too Pollyannaish (doesn't suit me anyway )
