Miserable? Just because I don't like something that you do? :D

The wife absolutely loves 'love Island', I hate it . . does that make me miserable? nope, but it makes me wonder about her mental state :rofl:

No, being different and diverse in our likes/dislikes is what makes life/discussions interesting.

Moaning about lots of different things, and rarely being positive about anything - that’s what makes you miserable… :p:

when you reach a certain age it's your right to be miserable and moan about every thing and every one,it gives you something to live for tomorrow:)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Had a blood pressure monitor for years . .

I might send them 188/96 and see if they bother following it up

in 1999 there was only pay as you go dial up as far as I was aware. By the end of the year I had moved my BT line which I still had to a company called Screaming.net that had inclusive net for 2 hours before you were kicked. It was still dial up
