Then I can nestle down and grump away to my hearts content

Anyone want to join me?

We don't need a whole topic. We already have you!

LucyJones · 12/05/2007 22:53

just rename the AIBU ?

Mercy · 12/05/2007 22:53

I can see this one being very popular!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 12/05/2007 22:53

Do you have to be old to join though? Otherwise you are excluding me

foxcub · 12/05/2007 22:54

I'm old and very grumpy today so can I join too - please?

(...it really annoys me when people don't say please and thank you...)

funnypeculiar · 12/05/2007 22:54

um, I like the idea of replacing AIBU whinging with some good old fashioned grumping.

Oh no!

One can never be unreasonable in a grumpy old women thread!

Grumpy people don't define - they just grump!

can you adopt my gf and keep her on here? will stop her whining at me so much.

DumbledoresGirl · 12/05/2007 22:57

Not sure what counts as old (apart from me, obviously!) but it has to be "grumpy old women" because if it was just called "grumpy women" it wouldn't be needed. I mean, that is what Mumsnet is most of the time nowadays: grumpy women.

Certainly not SDof3!

I've had my children and I'm not adopting any more of them!

nightowl · 12/05/2007 22:58

but would i be right in thinking singledad, that your gf is actually quite a bit younger than you?

not that you're old or anything.

Mercy · 12/05/2007 22:58

very true, DG.

Was really trying to find out how old VVV is!

singledadofthree · 12/05/2007 22:59

bet you can read me thoughts nightowl

DumbledoresGirl · 12/05/2007 23:00

VVV is about 26 I reckon.

thedogsbollox · 12/05/2007 23:01

Well she's definitely not in then!

These youngsters today - think they have a right to everything, including being old[grrrr]

OP posts:
DumbledoresGirl · 12/05/2007 23:01

Why the old tart is 30! (Just checked her profile). Huh, and she thinks she is still young. Who are you kidding VVVQV?

thedogsbollox · 12/05/2007 23:02

Nah - have to be over 40 or been on MN for more than 5 years to get in!

Oops - guess I just defined

Dear me - the active board has gone a bit 'classist' all of a sudden

OP posts:
DumbledoresGirl · 12/05/2007 23:03

Ah, that is me safely home then.

thedogsbollox · 12/05/2007 23:04

This is actually quite good

I think I've found a new home at last

OP posts:
DumbledoresGirl · 12/05/2007 23:04

Oh should we narrow the criteria here then? So what are the prerequisites now: over 40/a Mner for 5plus years, middle class, lentil weaver, and mooncup user?
