After spending a really tedious day at work I may have (mistakenly) decided to read some threads other to my normal ones...



On god's great earth, how depressing are a lot of these threads.


People moaning and whinging about really petty things - just reading them has made me want to reach for the gin.


Why is everyone so moany? I thought ED was a happy place? (Or is this only when fuelled by promises of ED Drinks and Curry nights).


Surely everyone should be thankful that they have plenty of friends, plenty of food and drink, and a lovely area to live in.


Now please... be thankful and stop moaning! :))

Good news is not news. Also, when people post very positive experiences of local shops etc., lots of other people get suspicious and sarcastic.


I do think there's a lot of complaining going on though. Don't know why.


On a positive note, I had dinner at Indian Mischief the other night, and it was great. Service friendly if not the speediest, but I don't mind that, and the food was excellent and the bill reasonable. (I don't work there).

I'm with VBC, I think for 2011 we should all find our inner Oddball - heed his wise words.


"Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?"

and again on the ed good deed thread, moaning aboout the moaning - love it.


I do agree a bit though, the forum is in a bit of a doom and gloom dip at the moment but i'm sure we'll come out the other end soon.

    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
    • You don’t think there are right-wing politicians fanning this with rhetoric? Really? 
    • No party is willing to tackle the "elephant in the room" which is the national debt. It is costing the country circa £100 Billion ANNUALLY to service that debt. That is more than the defence and education budgets. That debt burden has to be reduced which in reality means cost cuts. That means cutting back state pensions, index-linked pensions for civil servants and others such as police, NHS etc. It means cutting back on universal credit and cutting the number of people who are claiming benefits.
