  • My curmudgeon today ?  Logging on here after a long and complicated meeting with our Financial Advisor and finding the thread is degenerating at the same speed as one or two other threads.
    I may be wrong but the Curmudgeon thread has been going for ages now without any real argument- everyone gets their particular gripe off their chests and hopefully feels better for just putting it into words. I imagine that was @B3 's thinking when she first started it.
    Is it simply coincidence that the problems began fairly recently ? 
     
    @Lyn - funny I and OH didn't realise how awful you really are - offering to help a homeless couple who you didn't even know ?  That is so bad and I hope you are suitably ashamed.  Or in other words, Bollocks.   :D

    This is the first time we've been wummed on here.  Neologisms R us.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    It seems we have a 'do as I say, not as I do' scenario here, just for a change....
    I agree with you @Ergates. I just laugh now at the pot and kettle stuff when I see a quote. I don't even need to 'unignore'   ;)

    Why is it that the conifer branches you need to remove with a saw are always in the most awkward spots? That's given the dodgy arm a good workout. 
    Hasn't done much for my back though. 


    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I’ve got a homeless chap in here at the moment.    Suitably ashamed Philippa 😀😀
    the trouble with this poster is that he likes to dish it out but can’t take it when it’s dished back to him.

    Fairy,it's called sods law, same as the branch is just out of reach when you're up the ladder,or like the old man, realize you've left the loppers on the ground!

    Fortunately, I had enough 'stuff' to sit the saw on @Nanny Beach.
    I swear that little gobs***e of a robin was laughing at me.... ;)

    Well it’s been tipping it down here all afternoon @Hostafan1 … you’ve not missed much … except my Ronaldo tulip bulbs have arrived

     … I won’t plant them until I can do the light and dark apricot ones as well cos they’re all going together.

    I've had Ronaldo - nice colour. I love the dark, rich purples. I even got one or two the following year.  :)
