It's good to be a grump

We need to moan and complain a lot more than we do. I've noticed that people seem to have to always be positive about things even when they're crap. A problem should not be described as 'an opportunity' or ' a challenge'. If it's crap then why not say it.

There is an excellent BBC TV series called Grumpy Old Men where a group of middle aged male minor celebrities complained about the trials and tribulations of modern life.

I will invite people to put their moans and complaints about modern life onto this blog. No-one will have to put things in a positive light or pretend that things are OK as they are.

The moans may be about anything at all and they don't even have to be rational!

Let the grumpiness begin!

MOBILE PHONES... Y-U -K !! I hate the whole shiteroo of mobile phones...Here, Down Under, they have assumed locust proportions. Can't have a quiet meal in public anymore, without some fonefreak, at the next table, whining & dining his latest sleazesqueaze. "No Dear...I'm working late. I may bunk down in the office tonight...Aw! Come on now! It's only the first time this week...No. my darling...You know I care..." (rest inaudible). And so on, ad nauseum
Trapped in a suburban bus next to a teenager swapping "Where are youse" with all her mates...A Saturday night drunk in a mall cursing out an equally intoxicated drinker on the next bench.
C'mon now...Does all humanity have to walk around with their crooked elbows glued to their earholes talking to themselves? For fucksake, give me back my private earspace !!

It's only been four days and we are already at the top of google if you search for 'grumpy old people'.

We are also top for 'grumpy usability'.

Have you seen this before? It's a number guessing game: http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/guessthenumber.html. I guessed 57707, and it got it right! Pretty neat.
