Bloody whinging Gransnetters

Always bashing certain members of the royal family and going on as if only their views can be the correct ones.

The ones who think they can own other human beings.

The ones who expect a person, just because they happen to be royal, to have no entitlement to any normal human feelings.

I wonder how perfect they are in their own lives.

I also wonder how they get their mountains of inside knowledge of the royal family, and how they can be sure of its accuracy.

hmm

Count me in as another who hates snow. I live in a rural area and can get snowed in. Those who claim to love it probably live in cities where roads are regularly cleared, a bus service operates and the shops open!

EllanVannin brilliantgrin; do you have copy right? I know of several friends who'd like to make use of that.

Anniebach Tue 22-Oct-19 11:43:18

You care enough to defend some of them trisher

trisher Tue 22-Oct-19 11:42:35

That's the RF by the way but you could apply it to whinging
GNers

trisher Tue 22-Oct-19 11:41:07

I don't criticise them. I don't care about them. I just wish they'd all go away and leave space in newspapers and TV for real news.

Anniebach Tue 22-Oct-19 11:41:02

So I am not alone SirChenjin it’s foul stuff and it smells

SirChenjin Tue 22-Oct-19 11:36:54

Nope, not pathetic at all Annie - I hate it with an absolute passion. I work in the middle of nowhere and dread the commute to and from work - I’ve been snowed in there once and stuck in my car for hours on the road. Neither were experiences I’d like to repeat. I don’t mind driving on roads that are cleared but with all our council cutbacks road gritting is becoming increasingly limited.

Anniebach Tue 22-Oct-19 10:11:32

Pantglas I really hate snow, to such an extent I will not wear
white, have white linen in my house, white makes me think of snow, how pathetic is that ?

lemongrove Tue 22-Oct-19 09:41:32

That’s so good Ellan.....you can be the next Poet Laureate!?

Pantglas2 Tue 22-Oct-19 09:40:10

Must admit Anniebach I can cope with crisp and frosty and snow and gale force wind, but rain makes me miserable!

EllanVannin Tue 22-Oct-19 09:36:05

What about all these " perfect " DH's ?

I wrote a little poem for/about my late H :

He lay beneath the stars.
He basked beneath the sun.
He lived a life of " going to do ".
And died with nothing done .

I told him I was going to have it engraved on his headstone. We did use to laugh about it.

Rufus I've heard recently that there is no such thing as bad weather, only 'the wrong clothes^!

That was from someone who had visited your city grin and was "freezing cold" the whole time.

She had obviously never visited mid-Wales, Annie

Anniebach Tue 22-Oct-19 09:22:56

Move to Mid Wales Rufas then tell me when there is snow,
milk can’t be delivered, Tesco can’t deliver you grocery order
because they can’t get over the mountains, the town is cut off,
tell me then ‘it’s exhilarating ‘, ? I hate snow.

As for rain being refreshing ? You have never been to Mid Wales ?

SirChenjin Tue 22-Oct-19 09:22:21

And probably not stuck overnight in his car in the snow and wondering how the hell he’s going to get home to kids!

Rufus2 Tue 22-Oct-19 09:00:49

No it’s cold, miserable and I hate it
Annie;
"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces up, snow is exhilarating; there is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather!"
The author must have been a born optimist, but probably not living in mid-Wales grin

Callistemon Mon 21-Oct-19 20:52:07

Otherwise it would be a hard g as in Gone^g^irl, Gonegirl!

We would all be whinging it
Sorry, winging it.

annsixty Sun 20-Oct-19 13:05:21

One post has disappeared I have checked again, it was " we never watch tv whilst we eat" and "tv doesnt go on until later."
Gentle I know but not answering the OP and perhaps criticising life style.
Or maybe I was "a bit offside" yesterday.
It happens to me sometimes now.

Fennel Sun 20-Oct-19 12:55:02

I agree LullyDully. I'm a Pollyanna and that's it. I went out this am in the drizzle and it freshened me up - can't stand central heating.

LullyDully Sun 20-Oct-19 12:39:14

Some us are optimistic and some are pessimistic in my experience. Such is life. We all need to have our say in life.

merlotgran Sun 20-Oct-19 09:40:23

I found it in 'Last Day'

Have I got the right one because I couldn't see any sniping?

#disappointed

Jane10 Sun 20-Oct-19 09:34:52

Ooh what TV ad thread?

Gonegirl Sun 20-Oct-19 09:28:40

I did wonder that Callistemon (about the e)

Gonegirl Sun 20-Oct-19 09:27:22

Good morning Iam. smile sunshine

Anniebach Sun 20-Oct-19 09:26:15

I can’t find it

Nico97 Sun 20-Oct-19 09:24:03
