General Chat

I agree with you Muffy and don't think you are being negative at all.

I'm sure I'm by no means the only one to have gone through unhappy times and look to 'chat' for some daft banter just for light relief but feel mean and flippant if I bump something trivial up when the front page is mostly serious stuff. So there's many a time when I don't post.

Initially, merging gen and chat was jolly but I think members have mostly drifted back to their preferred level of topics.

......and we need a *like* button.

We REALLY need a like button !!!!!!!!!!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D

Well, I'm proper nice too Muffy. Me Mam always used to say so. I think I misunderstood.LOLOL
But I do agree with Island.


Misunderstood in Derbyshire

^ like ^ :-D



Hayley..............LOL :-D :-D :-D

You are proper nice too Julia....and thank you Island....I felt a bit bad saying it really...but i'm used to speaking my mind (within boundaries) and questioning stuff...we always used to on chat. Now it's considered almost sacrilege to say what you feel.

I feel like the naughty girl of the classroom with disapproving teachers tutting at me lol x

I do agree with you Muffy,
so many different suggestions here lol!!!!!!
Perhaps we could have a thread titled
Enlightening or
Not for the faint hearted or
Only for the naughty ones (not rude though) lol!!!
What titles would you suggest???

Anything to make it all fun again.

Off to cook tea now,be back to see what ideas have been added.

me like was for Muffy but that doesn't mean I don't like Julia :-S :-S :-D :-D

only for the naughty ones, im sure tht would be a board id use most! haha

oh yes we need a like button, and maybe a dislike to hahaha x

I agree with you Muffy. I also think it's a great shame that more people don't post. It's always the same names that seem to appear. No disrespect to those who do post. :-) :-)

I suppose really I get on with most on here. There are some that I still answer with some reverence. I suppose that is force of habit, as they were generally the ones on the other board.
There are still a handful I avoid like poison.
And I know that this must be off-putting to genuine newcomers, but I tend to wait now and see how others react to them. I know this shouldn't be, we were all newcomers once, but previous situations have made this so,
Well, for me at least.

what about a karma buton and smite button for each post

Nothing like a bit of fun and having a bit of banter but do have to say I do enjoy reading all the other threads even if I do not post.....

I lack confidence with regards to some threads (Not in a doom and gloom way) but in just the way I may come across.....

I feel more relaxed and confident with the laughter and fun kind of threads (I hope that makes sense)

Life is for living and having fun :-D :-D :-D

God I feel the same Mersey.....whatever I say seems so stilted and un natural...though I am being at my most genuine !!!

Have to say I just skim them nowadays which is a shame as I have nothing against giving positive thoughts..it's just that if i read them all I'd be as depressed as hell by the time I'd finished and most days I just nip in and out unless it's evening and OH is out or playing his daft xbox games and I'd rather have a bit of a laugh or rant than pee myself off further lol x

Sorry, I'm awf to do wonders with a leg of lamb

Well I for one disagree, I think there is far too much frivolity now days on these boards.
They should be only for serious people who want to spend all their time doing family history and the like.

I just do not get any enjoyment from some of the downright silly antics of some of the members.
We should stop all this silliness right away.










My bum....LOLOL

LOLOL Foggy....

Love the pic!!! ;-)

lol Foggy :-D

I shocked a lady I speak to this week by saying I haven't watched the soaps for years (she watches them all) as I found them just too depressing lol, I'd rather watch something that makes me laugh :-D

edit.... or a good murder :-D

Dead right young Rose,

Cant be doing with anything depressing.

coming online for me is a release, n fun, im not without compassion, but, i think for me sadly it depends who n what etc, like some of the debate threads they get far to involed for me,
and i dont do politics!!!! lol,

Agree with Muffy's first post. The General Chat seems to have lost something, though when it first came out, it seemed like a good idea.
