maybe we are all just pissed at what's going on in the world and there being no light at the end of the tunnel, but there has definitely been a subtle change around this place the last few months.
We all cope with life differently and I'm pretty sure every single one of us is going through our crap. The majority of us just don't start behaving like keyboard warriors and shitting all over other people's views. Costs nothing to speak to someone with a bit of respect, have a healthy debate and if that's really too difficult to do, ignore it. I've managed to ignore bullyboy antics enough lately and I apologise to everyone else for me calling it out here, its just depressing to see.
God, this thread is heading into the Group Hug stage of an Encounter group.. 😎
We’ve solved that with alcohol

@crucial wrong thread
I’m old. They all start to look the same and I’m not going to be fussy over which one I dive into.
It seems there is not a thread or topic that you cannot insert a Klinger into.
Oo-er, what have I just implied?

That’s bollocks. Henry>Potter. Frank>Baldy. Trapper>BJ and that last one, true as it is, is the real indictment of the later series - when a BJ is inferior to anything, you know there is something very badly wrong in the universe.

The original cast was the best for sure, interesting to note that the replacements ended up staying longer in the series then those they replaced.
Frank was the better for sure, it wasn’t the same when they ended his thing with hot lips. -

I suppose I am getting grumpy about people being grumpy - I have noticed a change in mood slowly taking place on the fern. Take rugby threads for example - the ref is shit, the players are shit, the game is shit, the commentators are shit, the coaches are shit...
No biggie and I am not sure what I am trying to say...maybe we are all just pissed at what's going on in the world and there being no light at the end of the tunnel, but there has definitely been a subtle change around this place the last few months.
Hell yeah I'm grumpy with loads of shit at the moment. I'm in my 30s but feel like my grumpiness is well into its 50s now. Fucking Covid, the impacts it has had on so many people (mostly due to lockdowns), the ABs standards going through the floor under Foster with "hard fought losses" to teams like fucking Argentina. The big shining light is my beloved Black Caps dominating the world against all of the odds, but apart from that I'm just over all of the shit going on right now and the insanely low standard of public discussion on the issues we are facing (not on here, in wider society where it's all about one-upping the imaginary "other side").
I have 3 kids I'm trying to raise as best I can, but I just don't know where all of this is going right now. It seems like humans are self-sabotaging through sheer stupidity more than anything at the moment.

Fucking pissed fucking off with shitty crap commentators who talk arse, don't fucking know the wanking laws, and provide no cuntwombling value added and can only just keep saying the players names. Which they often get fucking wrong.
Not even a glimpse of any analysis
Fucking grumpy

Just think. You have weeks of Miles Harrison's commentating on the Lions tour of Sth Africa to look forward to...

Messi balling his greedy little eyes out because he doesn't want to leave Barcelona, but he has to because they can't afford him. Even when he graciously said he'd accept half his 70+ million a season salary to stay, they still couldn't keep him as they're in massive debt.
Fucking play for free you ridiculously rich fluffybunny. You're leaving because you want a ridiculous amount more money, not because you were forced.

Footballers. There’s a bunch of sportspeople that make me grumpy. Rolling on the ground pretending to be injured is a fucken shocking example to young impressionable kids.

Thanks for reviving the thread @Bones, I can’t believe no one has been grumpy for about a month. Is everyone getting lots of action on the home front ?
