... and I'm not sure why.

Me, too.

Does grumpiness like company the way misery does? If so, I'll grump along with you, if you don't mind.

I'm useless at cheering people up.

It'll be a Woman Thing.

Seven dwarves in the bath, all feeling Happy!
Happy got out and the rest were feeling Grumpy!

about your demeanour.

I hope it improves soon, and the black of Grump lifts soon.

Oh, I let you down and you had to start it yourself!

I've been like that rather a lot recently, too. I don't *like* being shitty with everyone who crosses my path but I find myself doing it quite a bit.

If Ed's right, perhaps I'm just getting in touch with my feminine side.

Can I come be grumpy, too?

When you're smiling/ Oh, when you're smiling/ The whole world smiles with you...

Am I helping any?

Sure, why not? The more the miserabler.

Hey, I'm a portion of P.U.D.D.I.N.G. If there's any grumping going on, I demand to be included!

Seriously, though, I'm in mid-relapse (MS), which is enough to make me grumpy. (It took longer than usual to type this, which makes me even grumpier.)

So let's all get together and have a real grumpfest.

Oh Sorry, KB, I should have come to your space to start this thread.

Ed, it's not a woman thing, that was last week's grumpy and will be next week's grumpy. I'm just grumpy.

MMF - I like that joke

PC, Mala, CD - anyone can come along and be grumpy.

Let's hope this *doesn't* get as huge as the thread. (and that's a measure of how grumpy I am - I don't even feel like going over there and drooling about Danish actors!

As I'm on cloud-9 at the moment I'll just skedaddle

It must be hormones. Could even be the Grueseomes' hormones - they'll be at the starting gates for the full puberty thing, if not already on track by now.

Might be the weather.

Even if it has lasted more than a week.

Cheer up old bean. Just when things were starting to improve at work. As someone suggested: sing to yourself.

All together now: "When you're smiling, when you're smiling ..........

I strongly suspect I could find a lot more to be grumpy about than to over, which probably speaks volumes about my character.

Time to revive this thread? F19585?thread=5553630

In a similar vein...somone (Spider Robinson?) once said:

'We can all think of hundreds of ways of inflicting the most excrutiating torture, but very few people know how to give a really good back rub.'

Misery loves company! You've got me at it now.

In my true Pollyanna fashion, try this.

Nah, that video makes me grumpy. Why the lack of women, even on the instrumental tracks?

OK, that does it! I mention being a portion of P.U.D.D.I.N.G and not only does somebody start singing "When you're smiling", but somebody else mentions Pollyanna, an enemy of P.U.D.D.I.N.G.

Now I'm really grumpy!

I can't be bothered being misearble today. It looks like I've got more work in Swedeland.

Why the lack of women? Probably because there are fewer female street musicians generally. However, there are other songs in the "Song around the world" series which do have women. (Look them up on YouTube.) There's an Israeli girl with an amazing voice.

TRiG.
