Grumpiness!!

If people can grump, or have a go at someone they do. This was never the case in earlier times.

I’m not talking about the N&P threads because they are different, I am talking about what May start off as cheerful, jolly, fellow man well met sort of threads which descend almost immediately into grump, grump moan, moan, criticise, criticise, argue, argue.

Sad isn’t it?

She's compromised. Not on a school night 😁 but DGD has broken up from college, don't tell DD.
I told her I did dry January and Christmas is in December in the Northern Hemisphere.

July is my birthday month, no way will it ever be dry!

(The only time I have done dry July was when pregnant)

I can offer a nice chilled Moscato! In fact......

Ooh I love Muscato! In fact I’m only waiting for wine time to open a bottle…

I’m always surprised when people say they ‘cried with laughter’ at some threads. I used to smile or maybe even chuckle a bit at some of the threads mentioned, but - seriously - crying? I guess humour is a very personal thing.

Don’t you ever cry so much that you can hardly catch your breath and your eyes run?

I was in that sort of state a lot this past week, enjoying some love.y company.

Sadly I can't tolerate alcohol any more. I have been enjoying some non alcoholic beer this week though.

Can you get non alcoholic wine?

Marydoll Tue 01-Jul-25 17:12:22

You can get non alcoholic prosecco ( Nozecco) and none alcoholic gin!

Thank you. I will try the prosecco.

I drink non alcoholic wine on Monday, Tuesday and Wednssday but, when I messaged my friend to ask what day it is, she told me it's Thursday. So, I am opening Moscato.

Seriously?

I'm envious kittylester.

This is from the horse’s ( Rosesarered) mouth.
You are perfectly correct. She sent me the copies of PMs going between 4 members as to how they were going to gang up on her. Only problem was, they linked Rosesarered in the PMs.

As a rule I do not drink alcohol Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday.

July is my birthday month so anything goes 🥂💃

At 6pm I shall have a glass of chilled Whispering Angel with plenty of ice (DH shall be rolling his eyes as he thinks ice in any wine is sacrilege)

It is a real pain, as I bought some Sancerre in France last week on holiday, which I love.

I also ate my way through delicious food - then got onto the scales when I got home this morning.

😮😮😮😮

That is it!!! I now have to do some serious weight loss.
So no wine for me

merlotgran Tue 01-Jul-25 17:33:15

Can you get non alcoholic wine?

Yes, it’s disgusting! 😩

GrannyGravy13 Tue 01-Jul-25 17:33:43

Whitewavemark2 I put on 4lb on holiday, I am just working harder at the gym, and will worry about it in the autumn.

That's awful behaviour. I hope the culprits were banned.

kittylester Tue 01-Jul-25 17:34:09

But, it's Thursday!

Galaxy Tue 01-Jul-25 17:34:38

Yes it is. I have found a number of non alcoholic lagers which I like but the wine is awful.

Seriously?

To which part?

RosieandherMaw Tue 01-Jul-25 17:37:13

The Argy struggled after some posters left or turned to other things, but the rot had set in when it was being castigated on a nightly basis for misogyny, obscenity, no doubt frivolity

Oh the embarrassment! Misandry of course blushblush

RosieandherMaw Tue 01-Jul-25 17:38:14

PS Nozecco is foul!
Better to drink something like Elderflower Pressé I think.

It can be, but a brand called Bon Voyage isn't bad. I stopped drinking the real thing (other than the very occasional glass) years ago, and keep the pretend stuff in for drivers and for me to drink to keep friends company when they have actual wine. I've tried many different ones, and find the fizz is usually better than the flat, but Bon Voyage is very drinkable. To be fair, maybe I wouldn't think so if I drank the real thing more often, but I've all but forgotten what it tastes like now, so I enjoy it. You can get it on Amazon, and it's not expensive.

merlotgran Tue 01-Jul-25 17:50:44

Thanks, Doodledog but I’m in the same camp as Maw with this one.
If I can’t have the real thing I go for a refreshing soft drink or make one of my own like apple juice and tonic.

It isn't foul, when used to make a non alcoholic cocktail.
Each to their own.

Too sweet for my taste
