Excellent humour sites:
Our serious domains:
Have you ever wished that you could tell the world just how you feel about the insanity that pervades it? Well now you can .......
Grumpiness was a privilege reserved for the over 50's, but in recent years the age of consent appears to have reduced, and we who are genuinely over 50 are finding that the over 40's are now in head-to-head competition with us. This is not necessarily a good thing.
It was always my contention that grumpiness was the result of hormones with nothing to do - hormones which in youth migrate to the naughty regions, but in later life stay within the cerebral cortex. Not such a bad thing, as it takes less energy, but it has its drawbacks. None of this is scientifically based, but who really cares what Frankenstein thinks?
The primary asset of grumpy people is their sense of irony and wry humour, their ability to produce sarcasm faster than a cow can produce milk. This site is the milking parlour for all of these admirable qualities and I hope that you will join us in nourishing the world.
We use a forum to enable you to participate, but any really good stuff will be transferred to fixed pages on this site.
The forum is divided into Male and Female grumps ... I was going to include a 'Not quite certain' section, but thought better of it, so that idea has also been dropped.
I request one thing ... please avoid the use of foul language and slanderous statements, as these are neither humourous, nor intelligent - the odd naughty word is acceptable in the right context, but tirades of anger and hatred are both immature and offensive to most people.
Grumpiness is an artform; it is the reluctant acceptance of what is patently absurd, inflicted upon us by the equally absurd, but submitted to with humour and less-than-silent resignation. This provides us with an unending supply of targets.
If we can't change the world, we can at least let them know that we are not going to lay there and 'think of England' whilst they give it to us.
I request one more thing ... please use UK English wherever possible, with the correct spelling of words, so that everyone can understand them ... 'tire' pertaining to tiredness, 'tyre' defining the tyre on a vehicle, etc. We in turn will avoid defiling non-UK versions of English by not using them. This is of course optional and will no doubt become a very hot topic for the grumps.
Everything produced on this site is the copyright of the grump concerned and infringement of copyright will no doubt produce scathing comments from the person who wrote it.
A little later we will be adding the ability for you to upload video files to the site.
Enjoy the site and don't take things too seriously.
