    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.

    If there’s one thing that makes me grumpy it’s fighting kids. You three go to your rooms. And you @Bones , stop trying to make your sister mention your penis.

    Oh sorry, I mistook this for my personal blog. And you've certainly changed your tune.

    This thread is certainly living up to its name.

    I’ve always found plethora to be a cool word.

    Thanks, that means a lot.

    Blatant plagiarism from the memes thread and you got an upvote. People never fail to disappoint me.

    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.

    I’m old. They all start to look the same and I’m not going to be fussy over which one I dive into.
