merlot however did anyone come up with such a ridiculous name for a boat?
Well, I suppose it will make people laugh but can you imagine telling someone you work on important research on "Boaty McBoatface"?! It would sound like a joke anyway.

After reading pensionpats good news I decided I would post on here my gripe of yesterday and not start a thread.
An acquaintance of mine about whom I have posted before had a BC op about 6 months ago.
She had her lump removed, grade 1 stage 1,no spread, 3 weeks of radiotherapy. Marvellous outcome.
She has now decided that she can't live with the very limited deformity and the fact that her nipple is slightly inverted. She saw the surgeon last week and "cried for an hour* her words, and he has promised her a cosmetic procedure,she actually said " reconstruction" on an area which can't be seen and I think is unnecessary but then what do I know?
She is 75 and wants to still wear a bikini on holiday
Meanwhile people are waiting months in pain for ops which will transform their lives. Not me I hasten to add I just feel annoyed on their behalf.
Grump over.

I've gone down in spirit now after feeling better today........my friends dog is very ill [hes 13] so feel so sorry for her as she's on her own, apart from her dog.

Pompa - I've always loved that song by Israel ! You should send us a video of your ukelele group playing ! No Grumpies then !

DH definitely got out of the wrong side of bed this morning. I've just endured a (thankfully brief) shopping trip with him moaning about everything and everybody but as we were driving back up the farm road I burst out laughing when I heard on the radio that a multi-million pound research ship is to be named 'Boaty McBoatface'

DH?? Well, he's still ranting

Great news pensionpat

Not sure that I'm talking about nastiness though....miserable old gitiness more like. Nastiness raises the hackles and brings about a fight or flight response (depending on your personality type or current mood)

Miserable old grumpiness just drags you down - so perhaps your 'hole' is a good idea Nonnie - though Polyannas can be just as bad in their own way.

Where are all the grumpies today anyway?

Yea, great photo Stans

Thank you all. The surgeon was pleased. She gave me a hug. I was almost tearful, although wasn't at all during treatment. I've bought a rambling rose to remind me of today.

I totally agree Anya
Loved that baby elephant, Stansgran BTW.
PS can we show some sympathy at least for that poor nail (the one kitty has hit on the head)?
Nail abuse, unfair to nails!

Right can we decide whether we are behind the barricade or in a hole please? When you have decided can I join you if I bring ?

Grannylyne, I can be a right old ratbag at times ha ha!

So pleased for you pensionpat

pensionpat great news for you today (flowers)

You are not nasty wot ?

As a comparative newby, I have been reading threads for about 6 months, and ten days ago decided to post, but I have been very selective in where to post, as have noticed "mean girl) comments on rather nice threads. This does take the spontaneity out of posting (I have an opinion on every thing) so let's welcome all comments grumpy or not

Congrats pensionpat. I was too busy being grumpy!

Pensionpat lovely news and I bet your surgeon was thrilled too.

Thank you synomymous. I was starting to feel a bit grumpy that no one had noticed. (Joke?)

pensionpat so pleased for you! Congratulations, that is great news to hear.

I feel horrible and regret it when I've been nasty! On here and in real life. It's just spite and I wish I didn't do it.

The trouble is, sometimes one person's 'jokey comment' can be interpreted as nasty when it meant to be nothing of the sort - I'm sure a lot of us have fallen foul of that law of Sod!

LOL hit the nail on the head * Kittylester * !!

I am the opposite of grumpy today. 5 years ago today I has surgery for breast cancer. I've seen my consultant today and been discharged. I feel the same person I was before the diagnosis and that was my goal??????

Well, I find it quite comforting to hear that others have problems too! Not schadenfruede i hope [not that I can spell it]

I am just off into town to meet several other posters for a bite to eat and a natter. If the grumpier people on GN were to do more of that and less putting the world to rights and telling everyone else how wrong they are to think differently from them, it might cure some of their ill-nature.

Then again, maybe it wouldn't.
