New topic - Misery Corner

[bibblebub]

How about a topic where people can whinge about whatever they want, thus leaving the rest of the site more upbeat? Any gratuitous grumbling (the Olympics comes to mind) would then be confined to one topic where the moaning minnies could wallow in their misery.

Sorry, we already have Chatterbank, Ed's blog, Society & Culture and News for that!

[bibblebub]

bibble, I wasn't being serious, I agree it is much nicer when everyone is upbeat about stuff on here.

I've always wondered who Ed s'Blog is - sounds like a Serbo Croat weight lifter ...

How about a topic where the witless enthusiasts can babble inanely (the Olympics comes to mind) any irritating and Polyanna-ish witterings would then be confined to one topic and not trouble the rest of us. :-)

Were doomed ! I'm tell you, were all doomed !

[bibblebub]

woofgang - clearly a topic for witless babbling wouldn't work because you will still continue to post on threads like this

[anneasquith]

fair point ? but seriously a topic for births/deaths/marriages/relationship breakups/relationship reconciliations. like a local newspaper. ( The Aber Echo ) ?

[China Doll]

I like to spread my misery as I like the company so this wouldn't really work for me.... :oP

Initially I was inclined to think it was a good suggestion. However, not wishing to be restricted from having a grouse in the vast number of topics which are open to me, I go along, once again, with the Ed who appears to have given a 'thumbs down' to the suggestion.

The rest of the site would die away.

If I could add a moan, it'd be about those pharmaceutical manufacturers who make very small tubes of ointment, say eye ointment, and make the screw-top transparent.. Half the size of my little-finger-nail. And they haveto go and make it transparent. Why not bright red or day-glow orange so you can find it when it rolls onto the carpet ?
