Got to thinking just now - can we be kind about posters❓

With all this about meanness nowadays on social media how about a little experiment.

I’ve posted.

Can the next person up look at the post above them (about me, to start with) and try to say something nice about the one before? We do ALL have good qualities I’m certain......

It might make for an uplifting thread?

If you can’t (or don’t ‘know’ the poster above to you) leave it and wait. Come back later when you recognise a poster’s style.

Off we go. I’m waiting (in trepidation ha!)

No apologies necessary lemon it’s good too when threads go off on a tangent. Like conversations do in RL!

soop He may even be the same bloke - alias Manners when he was having a rest from being rough diamond Mellors and was pretending to be a classier chap altogether. Whatever his name, Lady C found him completely suitable when her garden neded expert attention.

Elegran Our garden could do with a make-over. Is there a waiting list, I wonder.

Sorry everyone, the thread seems to have veered off course, can’t keep up so I’ll say good bye ?.

soop Thu 20-Feb-20 15:04:00

Apologies, curvygran, I'll retire and allow you to get back on track, smile

Jane it really must be difficult working with a skeleton staff because one just cannot get them these days.

lemongrove Thu 20-Feb-20 15:47:43

Is there a shortage of skeletons??

curvygran950 Thu 20-Feb-20 15:48:28

Goodness soop, didn’t mean it personally! Don’t retire - I’m just a bit lost on this thread , or should I say it’s lost me ....

Jane10 Thu 20-Feb-20 15:51:28

Charleygirl it is soooo difficult as I have no one to fan me or peel my grapes these days.

soop Thu 20-Feb-20 16:28:21

curvygran I do have a tendency to veer off course. That's the reason why the Argy Bargy crowd lured me away and I haven't been the same since. grin

Buffybee Thu 20-Feb-20 16:46:35

I know what you mean soop, I spent a crazy few months in the Argy and my reputation is in tatters.
Back on thread, I recognise the majority of posters on this thread and appreciate them all, for their different points of view, kindness for people with problems and fun. ?

soop Thu 20-Feb-20 16:50:26

Hear hear, Buffybee. We are lucky to have each other.

curvygran950 Thu 20-Feb-20 17:01:59

What became of the Argy forum/ thread? It sounds like a lot of fun !
And fun is what so many of us need these days ....

GrannyGravy13 Thu 20-Feb-20 17:26:25

curvygran950 have a look at the Alphabet Bar under games, it is a fun thread full of frolicking winegrin

Callistemon Thu 20-Feb-20 17:31:10

curvygran be careful what you wish for.

If I popped my head round the door of the Argy that lot would hand me a mop and bucket and tell me to get cleaning. shock
I never made any mess in the first place, it was all them. They never paid me either.

Jane10 Thu 20-Feb-20 18:22:16

And the smell!!!

Charleygirl5 Thu 20-Feb-20 18:24:35

curvygran if that is your idea of fun good luck to you. Hygiene was not a word they recognised- the place was disgraceful. Heaven knows what lurgies you would catch there. I was so pleased to be able to return to the immaculate kitchen.

BradfordLass73 Thu 20-Feb-20 23:21:37

My son's nickname is Joesoap but as a child he spelled it Joesope! smile

As we are commenting on different posters, there really isn't anyone I don't like. You're all very different but interesting.

It's a nice little community
