I hadnt noticed anything
Dont think I have snapped/grouched (is that a word?
) at anyone though...
However wine is always a good cure, having spent the past week living off the stuff, and I dont drink

Huge thanks to meardsall_millie for clearing the air, I am a happy bunny too. Group hug anyone.....ewwwww, maybe not as I think some of you still smell of pony poo.
pinktiger can now be official CR barmaid, and be responsible for getting the mix right eg. not too much tonic in gin, pimms being the right colour and so on.
Thistle - I'm sure your wine rack in your lorry did have wine it, but then you had a bad day and emptied it. No? Is it only me that does that then?
TarrSteps you scare us
, that's why none of us dare to snap at you - I mean you can spell and punctuate correctly, and don't use nearly enough smileys to be a fully-fledged HHOer quite yet. Please lower your standards accordingly and we'll see where you are in the pecking order then (oh my goodness, look at me, bullying TarrSteps, I'll now have to send her a very long and very apologetic pm)
. However, I do like your style re the gin and tonic mix, and will therefore forgive you for blaming me for the CR meltdown. Broad shoulders, usable arena, I am indeed blessed aren't I?

Champagne? Even better. Count me in. I've got other colour buckets too. I'm sure Punk won't mind if we borrow his very gay pink one.

Champagne and red bull? It's two of my favourite things, but not tried them together. Yet!

Well - thanks everyone!! I wasn't grouchy before, and just nosed in here to see what on earth was up. But now - I really am grouchy....
.....cos I'm dying for a drink
*rushes off to kitchen to crack open the red*
Cheer up everyone, it'll soon be spring, and I haven't ridden either of my neds for over 2 months. I'll take video of the first time rodeo session and post it on here to make you all laugh, and feel super-stylish and competent in comparison

[/ QUOTE ]
Firstly thank you so much Tarrsteps for use of the word 'oxymoron'. I was excessively pleased when I got the words 'anodyne' and 'supercilious' into posts today so I think your 'oxymoron' deserves a round of applause. Did anyone else play that game at uni where you had a word you HAD to get into an exam essay somewhere....? Like going into a physiology exam and having to find somewhere to include the word 'disingenuous' or 'pathos'?? Anyone? Nope, just us weirdos then?
On a second note it's still winter so the official drink is OBVIOUSLY still sloe gin and champagne. Whaddya mean you haven't tried it?

Oooooh, sloe gin!!! Apparently the yard I'm at has sloes (wish they'd told me in the fall - I wouldn't actually know a sloe in the flesh if it bit me) so I've got a new hobby next year. Just in case anyone wants to do anything that might result in me feeling predisposed to get him/her a Christmas present . . .
KatB - the thing is I'm huge. And Canadian. They teach us how to fight in case we need it for hockey.
And finally Gamebird, thank you very much for your round of applause. I have to say I did not play that game in University because I was either drunk or riding for most of my academic career, but did play a version of it at school, where drinking was more difficult (boarding school in the middle of nowhere - CANADIAN nowhere) and therefor I had more free time. So, no, I'm just a geek all on my own.

Sorry folks, been at my AA meeting, what have I missed?
Sloe gin Gamebird, we've got gallons of the stuff. OH can't cook but I forgave him the moment I tasted his sloe gin.
KatB, putting you in charge of fitting a bar in our lorry would be akin to letting Gary Glitter drive a school bus.

Yep, all sorted, was a bit of banter, a few insults hurled, some big words that I didn't understand, followed by a group hug (even with the smelly ones) and now everything's fine again. (Oh and KatB's still in denial that she has a drink problem and is blaming ISZ and I, but that's nothing new.) Cheers.

Aww, we're all so cute.
I think you have to admit, m_m, grouchiness is a relative term. A thread like this in NL would have come to bloodshed by now, the Breeders (sorry, I love calling them that) would have found a way to blame He Who Must Not Be Named and triggered a troll/alias/camp follower war, and I don't know what would have happened in Soapbox because I don't go there but I suspect it would have quickly derailed into a conversation only dogs and bats could hear, then eventually involved atom splitting or anthrax.
We're just whiny, February-ish, and apparently all a bit prone to the DTs.
(And I, sadly, am now obsessed with dusting off my stash of gigantic and/or uncommon words (schlepping) in a desperate attempt to curry favour and move up the pecking order without lowering myself to pulling people's sweaters over their heads.)
