isn't it ironic that there are people here saying the oards aren't fun anymore, when the 'new' people seem to think we're all killjoys and that they're the ones who want to have fun...

I agree............... (would have agreed earlier but only just got out of bed, naughty but nice sunday lie in) I have enough misery, I come on here to enjoy myself............

LOL at those running off to see the SPURS JOKE THREAD............. bet your all laughing now that your tummy's ache............. LOL........Mine hurt so much I had to take leave of the boards for a couple of the days and hide from Elaine LOL....for fear it would hurt al over again from laughing.......... Elaine thank you for those they were brilliant -x- Much happiness Debi

Have you noticed how none of them have appeared on here yet to defend themselves? You've been rumbled - find some other forums to join! Debby

TRISH AND HADDOCK FOR PRESIDENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

You found me Trish! lol I did think that this thread would have disappeared by the time I got up this morning, but it looks like there are alot of like minded peeps on here. And look who we've got replies from.......all the people I hope to see when I come on, but who are posting less and less these days!

I was there Maid Marion, I also started another thread earlier but only a few joined in...Mind you , I was competing with the football!!!

HI, I'M FAIRLY NEW TO GR , WHEN I FIRST STARTED I USED TO SIT AND READ WHAT PEOPLE WERE SAYING AND NEVER GET ANY[WORK] DONE I USED TO LAUGH MY SOCKS OFF AT SOME OF THE THINGS PEOPLE WERE SAYING THERE WAS SUCH A LOVELY ATMOSPHERE BUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE GONE, PLEASE CAN WE HAVE IT BACK .I NEED A LAUGH. HAZEL.

Hi jeanette, wondered what thread you were talking about when I read your message on mine. Now I know - sorry. Yes, sounds like all us good people have had enough of the low mentality of some people on here and are ready to stand up and be counted.

By the way, I ''opened a bar'' yesterday evening, but very few added - would that have been, maybe, because people felt wary about adding anything anywhere? It was at the same time as ''other'' threads. I was trying to lighten the atmosphere.

*round of applause for Mags*

Okaaaay - perhaps we can resolve not to rise to their very obvious bait by a) not adding to contentious threads and b) ignore the posts that are plainly out to disrupt other people's threads and carry on with whatever the topic was supposed to be over and around those posts. That's not to say that there can't be some banter but I mean those posts that have clearly been premeditated and planned to annoy. We are not stupid, we can see what they are out to do. Perhaps then they will tire of their games because that is all they are. Mags xx

I also agree with everything that's been said. Board has been pathetic due to squabbles and bitchiness(can I say that?) I love to join in the quizzes etc. and sometimes it is just nice to read the threads and learn about others' lives in a friendly way. I've been a member for three years and it took me a while to post a message. It would be a shame if we lost our Gen.Topics board. Love and Peace Mau XXX

I agree with Mandy and Paul , but it appears a post I made on somebody elses thread on Friday has upset somebody .

Thanks Jeanette for posting this ..... t consider myself neither an oldie or a newbie but I did mention on one of the threads the other night that I hadn't a clue who these people were and I read these threads daily! Debby

Mandy, I'm like you - say my piece and then its forgotten. Sadly, we seem to be in the minority lately. Paul x

Hi Jeanette and everyone Oh how lovely it is to see this thread and know that all you lovely people are still around. I agree with everything that has been said on here. Chrissie xx

** just followed Jeanette and Helen .... ah yes, I remember it .... *** :-)

We all have different opinions and senses of humour, but it's the way we put things across that counts. Most of you who have replied on this thread will know me fairly well, and know that I can be extremely outspoken and make sure I get my point across (and I know my own faults lol!). BUT I don't harbour grudges, once I've had my say that's it, and if I'm in the wrong then I will be big enough to admit it in public. There are lots of people on here who I simply 'agree to disagree' with - and surely that's the way it should be? I'm not suggesting for one minute that we form any sort of 'clique' just because we are all in agreement on this point, but it would be nice if we all agreed to support and add to each other's threads; not to necessarily all agree because that would be a terribly boring thread, but to provoke interesting discussion and to have some good, fairly clean (!) fun with no personal nastiness. Mandy :)

*wanders off to find a clique*
