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.

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

eeyore definately at the present time.

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?

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

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

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

I am an Owl

very eeyore !

Don't you mean Wol?

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

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

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

I'm a tiggore....definately.

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

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

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

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)

I am an Eeyore.

DH is a Tigger.

I think that makes both DH and me unusual .

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

And this is myyyyyyyyy thread .

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.

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!

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!

You really feel that protective of her do you OO?

OK, I'll stay off her
