Bloody whinging Gransnetters

Good Morning Gonegirl -

Off to find the thread about the TV ad.

I also thing some GNersre becoming snipey.
A member starts a thread and instead of answering the question of making a point about the subject they criticize the poster ,as in the thread about a tv ad.

I abhor violence but I always wanted to thump a Pollyanna who use to greet me when we met on freezing cold, dreary winter mornings with ‘good morning, isn’t it a lovely crisp morning ‘ .’ No it’s cold, miserable and I hate it’

Well thats alright then Gonegirl, its what you think. But I believe Harry and Megan are now taking the piss and are a waste of time. My opinion.

I have skyways had a very soft spot for Harry and William, I remember feeling gutted seeing them having to look at those flowers in public and walking behind the coffin. Absolute disgrace. I'm far from perfect but as a grandmother I wouldn't have allowed it, no way. I do however, Harry made an unfortunate choice with Megan, I always thought she would break his heart. I look away now even he is on tv, his heart on his sleeve, constantly bringing up his mother and memories, he looks haunted. He is not a contented man.

I thought that too

At the risk of being called a whinger - hasn't whingeing got an 'e' in it?

Oh! I see you have a secret stash

I won't tell anyone.

merlot do you mean to say that you aren't drinking because your DH is on antibiotics ?

I would say 'oh dear, love, all the more for me!'

Aaaww Joelsnan ….You found the fly in my ointment!!

Tried that Namsnanny, but the grumpy grannies keep hijacking the Pollyanna threads.

Look, I'm not criticising, or moaning or even whinging, but...………..surely this is under the wrong heading??

I mean, people will become confused if there isn't order.

Or: punc,tu:ation;
Or spolllin
Or gram-mar
Or

paragraffs.
Or threads about threads.OrthreadsaboutUgboots.

Far be it for me to dictate suggest this, being a relative newby an' all, but shouldn't we re assess the categories on here?

There are generally things we AGREE with and things WE don't.

So perhaps we could narrow it down to only two?

Maybe called:

Pollyanna's and Grumpy Grannies!

For example, one day Brexit could be under the Pollyanna heading and if I'm feeling optimistic I can post stuff like,
'isn't Brexit coming along fine? Or 'Boris really has tidy hair' etc.

Someone else could put Brexit under Grumpy Grannies, and reply
"NO IT F!*K%@G ISNT!!"
and
"I WILL CUT HIS STUPID HAIR OFF IF HE DOESN'T SHUT HIS STUPID MOUTH!!"

Or something similar.
Perfect!

Doesn't matter what the subject is, each day its categorised under one of the two headings.
Simples!!

More entertaining than slanging matches that go nowhere and get pulled.
What do you think?

Paddyann the SNP supporter taking photos of the Royal Family!! Ha, ha thats a good one. In the words of Victor Meldrew " I don't believe it". Lol.

Can’t beat a good old rant Jane10, I’m with you there.

Like your emojis - good choice ?

I like ??? - sums up the utter frustration I often feel before I start to rant at the nonsense I’ve heard or seen.

Whinging seems like a moany sort of word somehow. I sometimes feel like a good old rant. Maybe in capitals or even bold? Not sure which would be best. My emojis don't seem to capture it somehow. Hold on. I'll have a go ? ?- ?!!
What do you think?

Sigh

I’ve just had a glass of Merlot with my artichoke and olive pizza and very nice it was too

It was Shiraz here and I do very often feel the need.
When we have had difficult times, we need an outlet, we can bore people with our woes, we can whinge on here or we can have a few glasses of wine and not bother anyone else.
I know what I prefer to do.

I just have to clear the kitchen after dinner and then I will crack open a bottle (Merlot by the way!)

Don't worry. He goes to bed early and I have a secret stash.
