A newly-retired husband.
Need I say more??

Joanna

Joanna, find him a hobby, quick!

lol Joanne.... yep, I agree with Jean...... find him a hobby, lol

I have started *training* hubby already... even though he has 7 or 8 years to go, and could now stay on at work until he is 70, so add another 5 years to that.... he has his own computer room..... and he likes to potter in the garden these days.... which he didn't like before! ;¬))

Elizabeth, I do apologise for going off topic... back on track again.... I am in a very grumpy mood this minute, because twice in 24 hours one of the things that really makes me grumpy has happened.... and so I am probably going to have to log off to stop myself saying things I will regret, lol

Love

Daff xxxx

ps, have a lovely weekend.... the sun is supposed to be coming oput to play, so that should make us grumpy bods a little more cheerful, lol! xxx

Dear All

Hello

As for spitting, YUK! and a double YUK!

Take care all
Very best wishes

after saying i dont get so mad these days, i discovered i lied,
sorry folks
i really didnt think i did,

but im human ive realised, and yeh i do get mad,
i get mad at rudeness from people who think they can speak to you like your a servant,

i get mad at people who think cos your trying your best to be nice and just do the right thing, and to help , basically thoughtful and kind,
somehow they think they got the god given right to accuse you of interfering,
argghh, sorry i just gave away my bug bear,

i would love to see that new show, grumpy old women,
cos i think ive reached that phase at 46

The tradesmens vans parked right opposite the end of our drive.

There is no reason why they can't park 3 or 4 feet either side as there are very few other vehicles parked on the road ,and it makes it soooo awkward backing out. It's been going on almost daily for 9 months now. We'll be really glad to see the back of them when the work is finished. (not our house, the empty one opposite)

Graffiti!! It's everywhere in the beautiful city where I live.

everything...I'm going out and I may not be back!

Well I married a well adjusted man who loved children and would do anything for anyone who needed help..... he is still that man, but he has turned into Victor Meldrew!
He hates ;
the adverts,
the programmes,
the clothes the young wear,
being ill,
being unable to do the things which he did so well,


look, I don't have the energy to do a full list, but you get the picture don't you?

ME? Well I hate the mornings.
and anything else which gets up my nose!!
So basically.... I too can be MRS MELDREW. And can agree with all the grumpy old women too.

Oh, DET, I can't tell you how many times I've been in the car shouting, "You're not allowed to park within ten metres of a junction!" at stationary vehicles with no one inside them! But people do it anyway . . .

Lol @ Kate! Know the feeling well. There was person who insisted on parking her car opposite our turning (which in turn is about 10m to the Main Road). I had mentioned to her the inadvisability of it, and that she was making it awkward for people to navigate around it – blind corner/at an angle etc etc. She had her ‘reasons’ and although I wasn’t going to get in to row about it, I did feel smug when it was ‘written off’ by a lorry which had turned into the road in the dark!

In mitigation to those that repeat information, Island. Sometimes it takes so long to find the records and post, someone has already done so. Although if we are talking hours rather than 30 mins or so, your point is valid.

i hate inconsidereate drivers who think its thier god given right to have the right of way, and not be corteous,

they see a point and drive to it, and join a que at traffic lights blocking every road, cos they have to be somewhere quick,
and waiting at that lights is gona make sure they get their quicker than if they gave way to you and let you thru,
arrghhhhhhhhh,

Oh Dizzie, that does strike a bell! Remember one in particular with a physio sent to teach us how to lift properly! We had a particularly difficult 20 stone, iommobile woman in at the time and we asked him to come and demonsrate to us on her. He' didnt have the time'.

Dear All

Hello my fellow grumpies!

Hope you are all well and doing okay.

Snap......DizzieLizzie and Jean.

I have been sent on some terrible time wasting courses.
They did not in any way give me new skills to apply or were even relevant.
And the course trainers were out of touch with reality!

Take care all
Very best wishes

When people say they are going to apologise for accusing someone of something that they didn't do & they don't........does that ring any bells with anyone

Reading this thread and having that ruddy advert on the left with a clock and the hands going round and round is making me grumpy!!

I dont know how I have done it, but I dont have any adverts on here.

Not telling, it is too rude.... oh go on then.... people twisting other people's names into something nasty and obscene..... it is not funny any time, but even worse when the name belonged to someone you knew and loved....

Love

Daff xxxx

I think I know what you mean, Daff and I'm really, really sorry you were offended. xxx

wmsl DizzieLizzie.... bet his pension fund was erm, invested, in Iceland!! And all he got was stranded at the airport and a pile of dust!! lolol

Love

Daff xxx
