I'll start!

A child in a covid suit.
Asylum seekers being picked up by the RNLI.

Good girl, you know it makes sense ?

Oh yes, definitely MM. I was sorry the appeal was unsuccessful. Gave her the chance to say she was doing it for everyone who didn’t feel they could stand up for themselves. Yeah, right.

Meghan Markle.
Obviously.

Lucca Fri 03-Dec-21 09:37:39

Have you done the exercises for vertigo?
My doctor believes in them.

Getting angry is a rational response to many situations.

Its more important how you manifest the anger you feel. Sadly life isn't all fluffy bunnies and rainbows and there's lots to be angry about. Blaming the "others" and telling people not be angry doesn't help, I'm sorry to say.

You are so wise and clever Alegrias.

I'm with Maw here. What does being angry achieve other than personal stress? Much prefer the feel good threads. They tend to cheer us up and warm our hearts. Relating each others anger doesn't come under any kind of being nice to each other methinks. It only generates angst in many. Some of the factual stuff has been very enlightening (and sad). Thank you to those contributors.

Sorry to hear that Lucca. I hope it will pass.

Ah well “anche questo passerà”. I’m just a very impatient patient!

This thread has now achieved its aim.
I for one am irritated that slanging matches seem to pervade such a number of different, innocuous threads.

I’m not sure that was the aim ? Maybe ?
However I thought it was going ok with reasoned and reasonable comments until just the last page. Shame.

On a totally self centred level what makes me angry is this damned vertigo not letting me get out and about !!!

Josianne Fri 03-Dec-21 08:32:46

Venting anger is fine, but directing angry comments at other posters is not. I agree MayBeMaw that the air is presently very thick.

Doctors, nurses, teachers, lorry drivers, fruit pickers. So many talented and decent people sitting in what amounts to internment camps waiting years in limbo.
Why aren’t we investing in speeding up their applications, offering them a better life and in return being thankful for what they have to offer us.

Exactly.

MayBeMaw Fri 03-Dec-21 08:28:50

I fear an awful lot of things make Grans angry - many justifiably but others perhaps because too many feel the need to vent the bottled up frustrations of the last two years .

Or perhaps some people are just grumpy!

The always right bunch, ?

BrightandBreezy Everybody knows that asylum seekers are supposed to seek asylum in the first safe country they come to

Except that everybody is wrong.

Virtual Signalling by the holier than thou posters, seems to be a competition happening this week?

Unnecessarily unpleasant.

It would be if you are in the Holier than Thou Club ?
