We need to pull together, grow a pair and GET ON WITH IT!

[iwantadragon]

To listen to people talk, it seems we have turned into a nation of wimpy, whinging apologists.

''I'm so embarrassed''
''I'm so ashamed''
''I'm full of despair''
''I'm so sorry''
''My life is ruined'
''Please accept my apologies''

Stop bloody whinging and saying sorry.

How do you think this tail between the legs cowed talk makes us look to the rest of the world?
It's about time we all grew up, put on a united front and got on with things
Show everybody what we're really made of.

and breathe

I was trying to formulate a response but actually I think paul has articulated my thoughts perfectly.

Wow beetroot, you're really showing your maturity!

Glad I could help Jux!

What will do harm is if the rest of the world sees us all bickering with each other
You perceive this as the biggest harm? Seriously?

"You obviously have no idea if the enormity of the situation. To be honest I'm rather envious of your naivety."

^^ This!! With bells on, flags waving, lights flashing and sirens blaring!!

You're right, OP, moaning won't make things better.

So stop fucking moaning about other people and the way they feel. You'll be a lot happier for it.

Do you not have anything better to do than moan about people moaning? Irony fail.

Paul I quite like a man who shows passion and those hunks really did.
Can anyone tell I'm single

I voted Remain. I was (and still am) a bit upset.
But, I'm choosing to look at the bigger picture.

It's time to move on and pull together.
It is how it is.

Get on with what?
I'm waiting for the plan.
Oh and i'll winge if I want.

Go for it Rolling.
It will achieve a lot.

Allegretto, spot on!

Footi horrendous

Corbyn ridiculous

Brexit

well until this evening and hearing about the dreadful events in turkey it's now in its place.

and you do then 80'sMum. Stop trying to belittle others.

Let's all just turn this into a thread about the beautiful Icelandic footballers!

Look the England team let us down Iceland FFS!

Hello. I think not . Not while I am still breathing would I help your cause

But yes, it is truly embarrassing.

Expressing dismay and distress in the face of a bit of a disaster is not weak. Im not sure i want to unite with farage et al anyway, we don't have much in common.

Don't be stupid. It's a bit more significant than someone choosing a restaurant you don't like. You are coming across as very naive.

The uoouh thing, deadly

Gawd, why do people still come up with the utterly absurd "Grow a pair" thing on MN all the time? I'd really rather not grow a pair of testicles, thanks, nor do I think possession of testicles in any way makes anyone in any way stronger or more virtuous.

It comes in waves OP. There is no obligation to move on at just the same moment as each other

This morning I thought I was over it, I realised this evening I'm not

So be kind

Yes they are beautiful but my intrepid dd said Ma that football player looks like you.
Not sure whether to be insulted !
