Grumpy Old Men

Mr Grumpy · 08-05-2006, 13:17

I have recently been accused of being a Grumpy Old Man.
Well I must say that if that ranks me along side,
Rick Wakeman
Rick Stein
Rory Bremner
Will Self
Arthur Smith
That very droll black fella that used to be on telly
And several other IMO humorous, intelligent and self-deprecating luminaries,
BRING IT ON

Any other takers for an Official Briskoda Grump Clique

p.s. J. Clarkson fans excluded for obvious reasons

Mr Grumpy · 08-05-2006, 13:53

Just me then.....Bah!

Goochie · 08-05-2006, 13:55

I can think of 3 regulars on here that could fall into that category. I shall keep quiet though, but I know others know what I'm thinking

Tdi · 08-05-2006, 13:57

Ha Ha

My wife has been saying for some time now that I'm definitely one of the grumpy old men.

I came in the other evening and started complaining about exactly what they'd been moaning about just minutes before apparently!

Welcome to our exclusive club.

I have three on my 'grumpy men' list.

MikeW · 08-05-2006, 14:28

Fantastic show! Arthur Smith should be the Prime minister, talks so much sense.

My dad was Arthur Smith!!,
( actually he was my uncle!!)
He was VERY grumpy in a funny way, as was my dad ( both sadly missed!)

simontreen · 08-05-2006, 14:42

I'm accused as well - SWMBO even bought me the book for christmas

***ncarring*** · 08-05-2006, 14:58

Ah but he's pretending to be grumpy, just like he's pretending to be a Yorkshireman!
According to the H.C. I am 'proper grumpy' see

Proper grumpy? Tsk! And there was I thinking you were just droll. I shall speak more politely to you in future, Graham

Mo

Edit: I was hoping the name of that US stand-up one-liner would spring to mind, but it hasn't. The one who looks as if he's wearing a Max Wall wig...

Would that be Steven Wright?
It may not be 'cos I am befuddled after washing car, cutting grass, then having to wash car again.....DOH!
BTW Mo, have you been captured on camera by anyone on here?
Because of your sometimes ascerbic and witty comments on here I have a probably undeserved image of you in my head, mind you there's plenty of space for it!

NOT GRUMPY,JUST MISUNDERSTOOD

No, he's dead,
Or is that his girlfriend?? IIRC cute from the tip of her head to the tag on her toe!!

postmanpat · 08-05-2006, 15:58

Hes in Newbury touring in July, If he is dead no wonder he is bloo3y grumpy being dragged around like that decomposing.

Lack of politeness,respect,standards of dress,poor education,annoying technology,speed cameras,no policing or proper policing,people who park on zig zags,little people driving monster rocket ship cars cars at 15mph,comedians that aren't funny,24 hour television,no one reads a book,text messages,mobile phones,house prices ridiculous etc

This is my basic mantra I chant before I go out.

I like cricket though

Add me in or I'll snarl at you

What a waste of bl**dy time
Grown men stood in a field , rubbing their balls on their balls and waving a bit of wood about, give me strength

It calms my grumpiness.

**JaneC** · 08-05-2006, 17:32

Is this an exclusively male society you're setting up here ?

lozgti · 08-05-2006, 17:34

I thought the grumpy women were great.Was it Jenny Eclair and others?
In fact I think the girls win the grumpy biscuit
