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

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

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…

Re: What have you just bought?

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 . .

. . which reminds me, had a text from Doctors yesterday asking me to submit BP readings, it seems my name has come up in their 'random patient to contact' computer program

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

Re: What have you just bought?

A 276 year old farmhouse , thankfully not listed, it’s in an area where there’s no virgin media, there’s no FTTP or even FTTC and the broadband speed is approx. 3mb so starlink it is then…..

What could possibly go wrong……

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
