I have just skimmed through forums on here and other swinging and conventional websites. Almost every thread I browsed had posts that I found idiotic, mundane and/or mindless. After careful consideration I have self diagnosed myself officially as a grumpy old git.
For those of you who I abused in my mind as I read your postings I make no apologies.
I am now going to lick a lemon in the comfort of my own armchair.
people will often post along with how they feel.
could be having a bad day or just unhappy about something and it comes out in their reply to a post.
im guilty of that many times, regret it a few times but what is a life without regrets.
i would say though i am grumpy by nature. got to the stage of my life where i no longer give a shit.
take me or leave me. im honest lol.
we haven't been active on here for very long but the one thing that always amazes us the level of knowledge that some have on subjects (one of the reasons we stay away from politics).
Some posts come across as very cliquey and for others I hope the posters never meet in person as from the aggression in their replies blood would flow.
And as for grumpiness, I suspect that the regular posters may be of an age where the title Grumpy Old man or Woman would fit, of an age when we know we are right !
No time for grump or moody, thus far and whatever life has thrown at me I've found that smiling and keeping on smiling is as good a tonic as anything to help steam ahead with life.
I got my nickname at work years ago when a Frenchman told me he had never seen me in a bad mood no matter how bad the nightshift was going or running late, and it was a perfect example of an British Stiff Upper Lip with a hint of a Gaullic Shrug.
I learnt many years ago that if you're in a position of responsibilty at work then sometimes you have to be like a duck; all calm on the top, but underneath paddling like fury to keep going.
