Are you a Tigger or an Eeyore?

[oliveoil]

Yes yes I have probably spelt Eeyore wrong.

Julie Burchill (fabbo) did a column eons ago about this and I remembered today that I wanted to ask you lot.

Tigger - bouncy, happy, positive, look on the bright side etc etc
Eeyore - sad, negative, down, glass half empty etc

Generalisations of course but I think there is something in it. Most of my friends fall into one catagory or another.

I would class myself as a Tigger as I can be annoyingly upbeat about any disaster whereas dh is undoubtedly an Eeyore, or Victor Meldrew in disguise.

[Slink]

I am a tigger too much to my dh's annoyance........

[Hermione1]

eeyore definately at the present time.

[oliveoil]

oooooh a response, thought I had bored everyone to death.

Yes most of my female friends are Tiggers and their dh's are Eeyores, JB said this in her article as well.

What annoys your dh?

[Flossam]

Well Eyeore is my favourite, but I think I must be some kind of interbred!

[flashingnose]

Another eeyore DH here. What annoys him? Where shall I start....

[Gobbledigook]

Generally Tigger. Moments of Eeyore (say pre-menstrually for example!)

[Enid]

I am an Owl

[LIZS]

very eeyore !

[Prettybird]

Don't you mean Wol?

[Chandra]

Owl as well, always wanting a bit of peace and a little more sleep...

[Lonelymum]

I think I am a cross between Eeyore and Rabbit with a tiny bit of Kanga, Tigger and Owl thrown in.

[elibelly]

I'm definitely Rabbit, very crotchety and hate anyone trespassing on my garden, and I always think I'm right

[fastasleep]

I'm a tiggore....definately.

[Twiglett]

Julie Burchill (plagiarist) probably read 'the tao of pooh' before writing that column

[huggybear]

im a tigger but dh is an eeyore....

he gets stress easily whereas i tend to be more laid back

[Twiglett]

actually I take back the plagiarist comment - that was slanderous and I didn't mean it, sorry (but don't like jb's articles that much)

[PiccadillyCircus]

I am an Eeyore.

DH is a Tigger.

[PiccadillyCircus]

I think that makes both DH and me unusual .

[oliveoil]

Oi. Stay off JB, I think she if fab .

And this is myyyyyyyyy thread .

[oliveoil]

What are the characteristics of the others then?

Rabbit - ?
Pooh - Dim?
Owl - ?
Errrr, I should know them all as I read it most nights grrrr.

[KBear]

boiiiiing - I'm a Tigger kind of bear
DH is Eeyore without question.

Can you imagine a marriage of two Tiggers or two Eeyores - surely wouldn't work!

[sharklet]

I'm definately and my DH is a mix between tigger and eyeore - he's a very stubborn eyeore when he's in the dumps!

[Twiglett]

You really feel that protective of her do you OO?

OK, I'll stay off her
