Moan, Moan, Moan - 2011

I notice that, sadly, this thread has now nudged ahead of the 'happy' thread in number of posts/pages for the first time this year......

There is just so much to moan about, though... trivial things and serious things like the awful bomb blast and gun attacks today in Norway.
Terrible things happening that we seem to be able to do nothing about.

Just nothing like a good old moan, and I mean nothing

Nothing!!!! that's a  bit negative isn't it.....look on the positive side...there must be something you can moan about

Yes, the Norway news is truly frightful and my heart goes out to our Norwegian friends on the Forum. As yet I've heard just the barest bones of it all but no doubt our TV news will fill me in this evening. It is thoroughly cynical of me but I'm hoping our languishing Labour movement can make some use of the tragedy, and do a little political harm to the right wing extremist who has ministerial ambitions at our Nov. election. He is, to my mind an evil man and very dangerous. This man rolled the leader of a small right wing party (we have proportianal representation) and bullied him into standing down in the new man's favour, even tho' he didn't even belong to the party, all right wingers and "who cares about the rest of you, so long as WE have lower taxes on our huge incomes and massive investments?" If I hate anyone, it is people like these.

And to go on moaning (it's been a difficult day) and referring to Maren's post, why do (some) men think women want to look into their bedrooms? How b....y conceited and arrogant can they be?

[Anthony Darby]

Tragic news about Norway. I agree with you on both your points Lesley. Unfortunately the people who make the most money serve no useful purpose in my mind, yet they bleat when there are suggestions they should pay more tax.

Lesley I was thinking the same when I read Maren's post. I think Maren would have nicer things to look at than peek into the next doors bedroom window.

He may have had something worth seeing Lesley.....................................................

Bet it would have only been a print. The only man who ever "flashed" at me covered up very quickly when I asked what was he was trying to show me? I can't understand why women complain to the police about flashers (except where children are the victims of course). There are so many insulting things can be said, so quickly and effectively.

Small talk

[Paddy Tobin]

Lesley,

I recall a comedy sketch on television where a man flashed a lady and said, "What do you think of that?". To which she replied, "It's like a penis, only smaller."

Clever lady Paddy.

My new oven/cooktop still hasn't arrived but that's understandable with the snow we've had. Expected now on Friday morning and I'll make a chocolate cake first thing, then onto Cook's corner with the recipe. It's the best I ever made.
