Winter curmudgeonlyness?

Is it me or has there been a distinct rise in curmudgeonlyness in the GC forum of late?

Do you believe in God?
Should we respect Religious Beleifs
Should Brand and Ross get sacked
and most surprising of all, Remember the heroes
EDIT: need to add the "Shinners show true colours over RIR parade" thread as well.

Have the short days and longer nights already taking their toll on our sun devoid country?!!

Definition:curmudgeonly
brusque and surly and forbidding; "crusty remarks"; "a crusty old man"; "his curmudgeonly temper"; "gruff manner"; "a gruff reply"
gruff, ill-humoured, crusty
ill-natured - having an irritable and unpleasant disposition.

Has Victor Meldrew been reincarnated?

Chill people! Breath in. Breath out. Wax-on. Wax off.

I've acutally got all the ingredients ready for it and will be giving it a bash this weekend if all goes to plan!


Back to topic it's the lack of summer that does it to people im sure!
Makes them all narky and argumentative, questioning things which are unanswerable and going in huge circles for endless pages!


I love the irony of sporrans post where he thanks god, careful what you say you might get people saying he doesnt exist sending this off into a downward spiral of existance and all that comes with it!

Re: Winter curmudgeonlyness?

I have noticed "grumpiness" throughout the year here especially in GC
even one of our lovely mods tends to be a little on the short comments side!!!

I'm a moaning , grumpy bastard anyway irrespective of time of year.
I think it's a waste of time posting such a thread
