Grumpy Old Men
David Jenkins - 3/7/08 at 09:31 PM

Is it just my imagination, or are people being just a wee bit ratty on this forum lately?

Personally I blame the bad weather - folks are in a bad mood 'cos they can't get out and drive! Or can't get into the garage for some reason or other...

Perhaps we should all take a collective deep breath and count to 10, rather than join in (or start) arguments?

Smile!
David

P.S. I put "Men" in the title deliberately - it seems to be just blokes getting ratty.

Sod off and mind your own bloody business


Benzine - 3/7/08 at 09:36 PM

this forum has never been remotely hostile/ratty etc. This is the shire/Hobbiton of the internet

Maybe its that time of the month

I genuinely don't know what you mean - I think it's all been pretty peaceful around here for quite a while now

i've seen it and tried to stay out of it for the larger part.

however, i'm now completely cool after going out for an hour and a half drive in the indy, on what turned out to be a glorious evening. went and sat up by emley moor mast for a bit then all the backroads that way.

and i love my blade carbs!

This was your doing???


indykid - 3/7/08 at 10:18 PM

grrrr. my miserable gitness has been reinstated!

a dettol advert in which it states one bacteria on a worksurface'll become thousands overnight or something like that.

BACTERIA IS PLURAL! bacteriUM is singular!

it's no wonder the youth of today are so bloody dumb if they can't even get adverts on tv right!

god knows why i'm such a pedant. i'm only 22.
