Meanwhile. Why bother posting at all?

[meanwhile] 04/5/2018 09:55

I'm thoroughly bored with this site and with the habitual bragging, back slapping, management mentoring and talking about toys, from many contributors.
I think I'll limit myself to one morning posting, on some useful topic rather like this morning's, 3855, and then leave it for the rest of the day.

At 'Five Guys' burger, you can help yourself from a large tub of monkey nuts while you wait for the burger to be cooked. Salted monkey nuts, these are.
This reminds me that the 2.8p dividend is paid on 21st May and some of you lads will be able to buy that 'dream bag' of monkey nuts you've always desired.

I don't want to feed your envy, but with my dividend I'll probably buy gold coins or bars maybe. I can get all the monkey nuts I need at 'Five Guys' burger.

Getting

I realise that I need real guidance on being grumpy and angry (it’s something I have never tried) so have ordered from Amazon “The Grumpy Old Gits Guide to Life.”

Will let you know what it’s like for when you want to convert to being grumpy and angry.

Good Morning Getting. And it is a wonderful morning here.

I’m afraid minerve has made me see the light.

Enjoying life is definitely a moral sin so I intend to reform. I will speak to my newsagent this morning and arrange for the Daily Mail to be delivered daily. This I will read before breakfast, which will change to porridge from smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, and then I will have BBC 24 hours news on throughout the day to make sure I don’t miss any up to the minute gloom and despondency. Contact with happy people will be minimised.

I spoke to my good lady last night and insisted we have separate beds. She is going to get me a teddy bear for company.

I feel really guilty about my love of enjoyment, particularly Scalextric, good food and wine, holidays abroad, etc. At my age I know I must feel guilty about the state of the world and be angry about anyone who is successful. I feel particularly guilty about voting Leave - how could I do such a patriotic thing. And I must acknowledge my low IQ and moron tendencies.

Please don’t feel sorry for me. You know it makes sense.

Beetle juice

Thanks for the offer but not needed - yet!!!!

But can you lend me a moral compass?

[gettingrichslow] 03/5/2018 23:20

Beetle juice, well I don't think Minerve is going to need it!! He's too busy getting angry with everyone!

i got some viagra to sell you if you need it for that wife of yours mate.

[minerve] 03/5/2018 22:43

He is snuggling up to that "younger wife" MEANWHILE! ROFLMAO!

[minerve] 03/5/2018 22:41

"Isn’t life wonderful."

It is, if you are fortunate to be on the right side of the fence. Before you snuggle up to your wife tonight, please do spare a thought for the child whose last night it might be because society thinks it's more appropriate to reward a few directors with £47M each rather than increase an NHS budget for child cancer drugs that would cost them an extra £500K (total). You may not want to believe everything is linked, but it very much is, change ONLY stands a chance if people like you stopped focusing on scalextrix, walking, gardening, eating and drinking and engaged with the real world rather than live in that shallow little bubble you have created for yourself.

Oh, how interesting I expect brexit's post is likely to be.

[brexitplus] 03/5/2018 22:24

What is my age? Whatever it is I’m not a grumpy old man. As Einstein said when asked if he was old, “I’ll always be old 10 years from when I am asked.”

Ages of Scalextric gang range from 20 to 70, men and women. Two GPS, naval officer, commercial photographer, council worker, plus numerous others. No elitism here. None with a Zimmer frame and all in rude good health. Well not the 20 year old who has a bad leg. It’s good fun and great for hand eye coordination.

Don’t need a teddy; have a lovely younger wife to snuggle up with.

Anyway, busy day tomorrow cooking, walking, gardening then a lovely meal washed down with bottle of red.

Isn’t life wonderful.

[minerve] 03/5/2018 22:09

Scalextric? At your age?

We are dealing with children here.

Is teddy bear ready for bed?

The whole system is linked. I suggest you go back to school.

[minerve] 03/5/2018 20:56

Anger issues? Jealousy? Anything else? ROFLMAO!

[gettingrichslow] 03/5/2018 20:22

I think you've got some anger issues Minerve. I also reckon you've got a severe case of a disease called 'Jealousy'. How else can one explain your posts? And all on a board of a company you don't have any shares in!!

[meanwhile] 03/5/2018 19:52

Do you think it would help resolve the argument if we all had Management Mentoring?
