New Topic Category

Having just re-read some of my postings about MBNA, I realise I must be nearing the qualification age for "Grumpy old Man".
So I think we need a section where we can vent our frustations about those little things in life that really annoy us in true Grumpy old Man/Woman style.

[Neil]

God I think that would be the most used thread on the forum:D what with us all been so perfect [:w] and so many annoying things in the world, it could cause server overload.

Neil:)

Would a "Hello" forum be an appropriate addition? New joiners are often bursting to get something posted and seem sometimes to use "My worst VS / VH experience" as the starting point (as the bad experiences stay in the mind longer than the good) which leads to follow ons of "Why are you posting this ?". Perhaps a "neutral" forum to get an initial introduction posted would start things off on a better footing ?

Paul - we have got the Welcome to the Clubhouse thread where us members seem to say hello when becoming a member, just wonder how repetative a "hello" forum would become with posts just repeating themselves.[:?]

I couldn't think of anything worse. Having to say hello to all those newbies[:$]. I do not believe it!

Oh, you are right. I have turned into a grumpy old man.

Hurumph!

Agree with MarkJ, I have found the best way to get into the site is to post and get involved, people on here are 99% of the time very friendly, so I never found that an issue.

[:?]mmmmm - that sounds a very easy excuse to use now, I See however you have been using these forums for a while, so I think your crossed out comments make more sense[}:)];)

To be fair, there are a number of issues of people availablity at the moment that are slowing membership kits. But I am sure pjh will be a member as soon as these are resolved :)

It's a fair cop, you've got me bang to rights etc.[:I] Honest guv, I did intend to make an honest poster of myself the other day and will be doing so as soon as the membership links are opened up again / I get back from St Lucia (whichever is the later).

Err...... receding YES[:w]

[Scrooge]

Sorry to say not receding,though around the early twenties I thought I was going to have a big problem,but it seems to have stopped where it's at and is not just turning to a dignified shade of grey.

I wish it was just a headache,those I can deal with np.Unfortunately it was a full blown migraine,which in my case leads to nausea and vomiting and a severe sensitivity to light,noise and some smells.

Not the way I wanted to end the night trust me,I would much rather of been in the bar with you guys [:#].

Yeah it would have been much better to stay up, get drunk, get driven to the airport at 5am, puke in the car and then get stopped from boarding the plane coz you were too blotto!!!

Maybe fate offered you the more favourable route!![:I][:?]

[Scrooge]

Don't think so,im a happy drunk so np's getting on the plane and I dont drink to the point where I "puke" either so that wouldn't off been a problem.
