Good morning and hello Monday

Why not start an early morning thread using a different title Stevierichard much less confusing
On Sunday there were three all with the same title Maw is right it is confusing No ones saying don’t start an early morning thread but not all saying ‘good morning’ be innovative find a new title

And as for Rufus going on about one upmanship that got up my nose a bit, it sounded very arrogant

How about a big shouty........IT’S TUESDAY.......

Or whatever day is appropriate... I get that it’s not TUESDAY every day.....thank goodness......I’m not really a TUESDAY fan.....too near the front of the week.......now FRIDAY....that’s a good day....

I am with you Marydoll sensible words.

As one who has not been involved in the daily Good Morning threads (I read but don't usually post), I 've been puzzled by the elements of rivalry, one-upmanship and sheer cussedness that have crept in.
Instead of the gentle, chatty early greetings, I now see defensiveness and arguments.
Really quite sad.
Would it be so unreasonable just to carry on with what has become a harmless and friendly start to the day?
No loss of face involved - if new posters would just take a slightly different direction this might lead to forging friendships instead of breenging in and causing irritation when it's completely avoidable.

Indeed mcem, Marydoll, nanKate et al.
Much ado.

mcem, I love that word "breenging", a good Scottish word.? it sums up the situation up perfectly.? It was a favourite of my mother's

Are you new Stevierichards I haven’t seen your name before these morning posts ?
Maybe it just needs explaining so you know where you stand, there is a long standing ‘good morning thread’ started by Michael and it is only good manners to allow him to continue
No one wants to curb your enthusiasm so do keep posting and if you want to post an early morning thread before Michael call it by a different name ‘I m up, anyone else?’ ‘Any early risers’ etc etc
Humility is a lovely virtue, arrogance is quite unattractive ?

Morning Mick and all....theres no news in the "Westmorland Gazette" yet about the Cycle Race...will let you know. Slainte.

And as for Rufus going on about one upmanship that got up my nose a bit, it sounded very arrogant

Oh dear Bluebelle! And just as I was beginning to put you in my "Like" file.
Now where do I start? Not wishing to get up your nose, pretty as it may be!
You've obviously not come across a book called "The Complete Upmanship"" by Stephen Potter including "Gamemanship" Lifemanship" "One-Upmanship" and "Supermanship"
It's based on very funny satire.
"Gamesmanship" "the art of winning games without actually cheating"
I don't think Aussie cricketers have read it either!
Anyway, get a copy and read it before you judge me.
It's very funny; it's satirical and one of my favourites for re-reading.
It appeals to my non-arrogant sense of humour, anyway.
BTW Whilst I'm "on"; Good Afternoon!
Following a complaint to the stewards, I've been "warned off" racing for (unthinkingly) taking advantage of our time-zone difference. I've been nobbled!
So I've dropped back to a canter.
Weather has been perfect, for winter, in Melbourne, 10C, lots of cheerful sunshine after morning mist and no rain! See you Wednesday.
Good Health

This is all becoming rather tedious. Looks like you might have upset mick between you, as he hasn't posted yet. Such a shame. I, for one, won't be responding after this post to any good morning threads other than the one mick starts, if he decides to post anymore.

Good post mcem - won't make any difference though.

It hasn't! There are two today, both called, "Good morning Tuesday".

Mick has posted Mapleleaf he has put his head on “Chat” instead.

I could have done without Rufus’s patronising post though “pretty little nose “ ? ??
We have read “Ganesmanship” in the Northern hemisphere, you know, doesn’t make it ny more attractive when a persons feelings are.
For the record, Mick started the “Good Morning —day” threads when he came to GN from I think Saga.
So copying his thread along with its title (albeit with a lower case letter) is a bit unimaginative to say the least.
When can we expect someone to start another “Kitchen” I wonder?
By all means anybody can start any thread they wish but is it so hard to come up with your own title instead of muscling in.
Cheesed ? off

Oops! I lost a word - “feelings are disregarded”
And I can spell “Gamesmanship” just the iPad can’t

Instead of the gentle, chatty early greetings, I now see defensiveness and arguments. Really quite sad. I agree. This has become unnessessarily protracted. Those of us whose practice it has been to follow Mick on his thread should continue to look for it and do so. Those who are not interested in doing so might want to think about whether there is really anything to be gained from creating confusion where there doesn’t need to be any!

I could have done without Rufus’s patronising post though “pretty little nose “
MawBroon; You're certainly getting stuck into me, but I wasn't referring to your nose.
Your iPad obviously confused "patronising" with "complimentary".
As they say, "sticks and stones...." etc.
Good Health and continue to enjoy your Tuesday.

It doesn’t matter whose nose it was Rufus it was patronising not complimentary and inappropriate.
Perhaps you need a refresher course in what is appropriate in the 20th/ 21st century?

Oh dear Maw now you’ve got me hooked on watching Harry for the rest of the morning. (I love the change of meanings in so many words.)

Love it MawBroon.

Best laugh DH and I have had in ages Maw thanks

Perhaps you need a refresher course in what is appropriate in the 20th/ 21st century
Ouch Maw! That was a blast from the past, possibly kept in the family album ?, but I presume you weren't one of the 4 Harridans? [joke]
As a matter of fact I graduated from that course and others, with 1st. Class Honours many eons ago.!
Now! I think it's time to stop this cloak and dagger nonsense and leave the thread to others.
Feel free to continue to lecture me via"Private Messages" and I'll be more than happy to join in and learn more from you!

Good Health

Flippin' heck - it's Tuesday afternoon and this is still rumbling on - oops good grief I have added to it

Not the family album Rufus YouTube.
I expect you have heard of it?
I think”harridan” is a rather unpleasant sexist epithet. Don’t you? Presumably entirely intentional.
Four?

Got the four reference, not the [joke]
