*Moany old git klaxon*



Bugs come into your house. Horrible.


Sticky, stuffy weather.


People wear ghastly sandals.


Travelling is a nightmare. Caravans & trailers on the roads.


Articles on how to get a beach/bikini body in 5 days are rife.


Bbqs. Say no more.


Pimms. If you're going to make it at least have borage, an essential ingredient, the stuff grows everywhere. It's not difficult to obtain.


Music blaring from cars. Shit music.


Festivals.


People ;)


Ah that feels better, any others?

I like the sun, but not a massive fan of the heat. A comfortable 70 degrees with a breeze is about as hot as I need. Kids waking up at 5am every morning is another negative - black out blinds never quite do the trick. People out in gardens keeping kids awake (when they're getting up at 5). Child care over the summer holidays is also massively expensive, difficult to organise and guilt riddling. There you go, I'm grumpy too. :-)

Oh your a bloody ray of sunshine aren't you!

i'm inclined to agree with you entirely numbers but have refrained from saying anything up until now for fear of being labelled grumpy. it's not that i hate summer but i'm definitely not a shorts and t-shirts person, i just love being cozy in a nice jumper while downing a few ales or a guiness (pleural: guineeii??).

i look forward to the onset of autumn...

Thread started by someone other than Louisa with the express intention of having a moan (the clue is in the title).


Various other posters join in said moan.


Louisa posts


Other people post after Louisa's post still moaning.


You quote Louisa's post out of all the others.

Oh dear, Well - pardon me! I'm aware of what the threads about Otta , thanks. .... I'm totally free to quote whoever I like - why shouldnt I pick out Louisas' post ? I'm sure I'm not the only one fed up with her whinging and moaning.

In true Foxy spirit.. I have to say there is very little if anything that I Hate about Summer.


I love Summer.. (It was 43 Deg C. in Turkey and I Loved it.) Bit chilly back here.. at 24 Deg.


I suppose as the thread was about hating summer, my views will be considered Negative.. :)


Did not want to let anyone down..


Foxy

a bully? no of course not! However, I don't think I'm "chasing anyone down" either. That would imply that I'm deliberately searching for Louisas' posts in order to respond negatively to them, which isnt true - Iv'e better things to do. :)

Oxford street beggars shoving paper cups with coins in in my face whilst having a packet of Marlbororo and a mobile Phone sticking out of their pocket, accosting me on my lunch hour and going to and from work.

If you can afford a cellphone and Cigarettes I aint giving you a dime.

    • The skatepark has been a great use of a derelict site, but surely the point is that that site should not have been allowed (and should not continue to be allowed) to have become derelict in the first place. As someone who couldn't live much closer to the Grove Tavern, I would welcome any redevelopment efforts. The current state of the pub is untenable, wasteful and ultimately an embarrassment for the local area.  The concerns mentioned about young people and the lack of public space for them to spend time are totally valid. And I agree, its very inspiring that a group of teenagers have built the skate park and created something out of nothing. But that shouldn't prevent the site being turned into something that is of utility to the whole community - whether that be housing, supermarkets or a pub/restaurant. 
    • Crikey. I made one comment  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your posts  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have a  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this thread  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I am  retired, apart from promoting and  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!  I do have many other  things to do!  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I am  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
