Is it me, or is GN not so much fun as it used to be?

jing has never sworn on here.

Granny23, well what did you expect, it's very hurtful, laughing at a fellows frock

jing do you know any swear words? If so, I'm shocked.
Most unladylike!

Yes indeed Pompa - today's example: We were off to DGD's 7th Birthday Party today and DH asked (for the 100th time) what the theme was? Our DGC's parties are always themed with appropriate food, games and costumes e.g. Pirates, Cowboys - last one was Wizard of OZ and we dressed as Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. So, DH asked again and I said again Dragons. He said 'What?' and I repeated Dragons, DRAGON, D R A G O N. 'No need to shout' said he going off in huff, only to return asking 'Do I have to wear a frock then?'

So there I was, laughing like a chookie and there he was, deeply offended and accusing me of mocking the afflicted.

How often do I remember things?
Not very!

I'm not serious minded! I meant Eloethan.

Jings serious minded you may be but your one liners often give a chuckle

Where's phoenix gone anyway? She starts all this off......

Well I thought it was funny too kitty- so there.

Yes it does. Shall we have an angry row? I could swear if you like.

Well there you go, I laughed at it. Takes all sorts.

But we're all different. Some are more serious minded than others. That's ok. I guess. Yawn.

It wasn't brilliant! It as really unfunny.

Brilliant Eloethan

I agree with you Ana, some choose to appear offended and milk it. Analysing every word written.

But some are offended, either intentionally or unintentionally.

"I don't think his willy dropped off".

That's the kind of stuff I call lame. But if others enjoy it, I can just avoid. And will.

Duncan ( not Donald) has just gone on an away week.

I don't think people choose to be offended -they just are offended. I suppose whether or not someone agrees or disagrees with a post illustrates how different we all are. Its a good way of learning about others and different perceptions of the same thing. Sorry not a 'fun' thing to say!

Romesh Ranganathan said in the Guardian that this was one of his favourite jokes (courtesy of Gary Delaney):

When my girlfriend suggested we try playing doctors and nurses I was really hoping for something sexier than being left in a corridor for two days.

Famous last words Ana ahahahahaha (pot ... kettle ;) )

I think some of our parties have been brilliant. I enjoyed my journey to our last one very much indeed.

Some people always choose to be offended where no offence is meant. Shuts down the conversation and adds a sour note. Hey ho...

Sincere, deep, meaningful, honest ????, oh yes I remember now, apologies Solazure.

Actually, phoenix, the blame can be placed at your door!!

Everyone really loved my posts about the Idiot but that spell you put on him worked so well that he seems to be fairly well behaved at the moment - although I don't think his willy dropped off so you could try again if you wanted to!

Pompa I am new so not the usual poster..... only joking :-) x

Odd isn't it, when we have a thread like this, it is the same posters that join and the same posters that ignore it. That's about as deep as I can get atm.
