Seems to me like 50% of the posts on this Forum are whinges of some sort. Price of newspapers / no wifi in apartments / Iceland closing down etc. etc.

Or is it just that the more positive members haven't rejoined this Forum yet ?

Come on folks - glass half full and all that.

The forum is made up of lots of members talking about a huge range of subjects and sometimes we see the odd whinge but is that not what a forum is all about.

Be it sat here in Tenerife or Exeter it makes good reading though.

All in all think this new look forum is in very good shape.

Valid point to who? Only to those that don't enjoy the forum for a laugh and for info or serious stuff.
If he doesn't like it don't post, sorry did I nick someone else's saying.

Go back through the thread and see how many times I posted before you had a go at SGB, NONE, sorry if I should have asked your permission before I thanked somebody I agreed with.Is there only you that is allowed an opinion on here.I have known SGB a long time and I respect his opinion.

Obviously you have a very fulfilled life as you are not on here worrying about others, or are you.
I don't think you can really comment on other people's lives as many of the people I am sure you are referring to have very active and fulfilling lives.
In answer to Primrose earlier post, of course you have a right to thank who you want, but why thank someone for something and then start doing exactly what they were moaning about.
I have a laugh a lot and also post some very serious answers on here. I have also given some very useful time to people, maybe your memory is very short Primrose.
I very rarely whinge just mess about but this is a whinge, why just come on a thread SGB to do one post of slagging off to get points with your clique.
Go back to your very boring life, well you have a right to comment on people's lives, then so do I.

Though i was answering another persons assumptions ,that everyone new or old should recognise the fact that SGB was not a new member ?? you cant get that info from this forum as everyone is new ,which is more my point .Me ,i knew who SGB was but some may well not .And yes there is far more Imaginary Hierarchy around than the ones you are digging at imo .I was trying to deflame the posts but seems that was futile ................:crossfingers:

Nope, just remembered that SGB was a member of the previous forum, nothing more nothing less.
I don't have any axe to grind, even though it would appear that some would like that to be the case. I would like nothing more than to see the bickering stop ( that includes me) and the forum to move onwards and upwards.
In my opinion the in-house arguments on Here are the only blots on an otherwise perfect forum.
I will be the first to apologise for my previous posts that may have incited any trouble. :-)

I thanked him partly because I thought he had made a valid point, and partly because I thought it may annoy you. :-)
Since I no longer want to get involved in some of the pettiness that goes on,( and the longer it goes the worse it gets ) I decided to post my apologies, and am willing to do my bit and not bite anymore.
Those who want to continue can carry on of course, but the forum is bigger than any one member, and I no longer want to play my part in dragging it down.
I'm in a happy place now Kev, all talk of people getting a life and so on is just that...talk.
