Happy Christmas to all

[Margaret Pilkington]

For every problem there is a solution...that is unless you don’t want there to be one.

[cashman]

depends what yeh call problem? i know a lady who has had this virus for between 4&5 months now and is still far from ok thats a problem to me for her family and friends.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Cashy, this was not about Covid 19....but then I guess you know that.

I will say nothing more on that.

[cashman]

true it was not but to me problems cover everything.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Well, of course, there aren’t any other problems in the world.
None worthy of note you would think.
I thought this thread was a sanctuary away from the trials of life..I was wrong.

No Marge, it is not wrong to tell it as you see it, please carry on giving your perspective on life.

[taddy]

You know you want to, so quit with the lame excuses!!!

[taddy]

Just for you Dave

I will...but I was looking for a respite from news or non news about the virus.
Thought this would be the thread that had immunity...but it seems not.
It too, has been infected....though the symptoms are only mildly tiresome.

When I started this thread I thought that it would be a happy one…still we all know what thought did – if you don’t, well it followed a muck cart and thought it was a wedding (a good old Lancashire saying). For a while there the thread was certainly doing what it had been intended for, to pass on good cheer. Although diversifying is often the way the threads on this forum go before returning to the original subject, often with very interesting reading, this time it’s a pity that it has become yet another platform of sorts for that blasted virus.

While there is absolutely no way I would ever belittle the impact that the Corona virus has had on so many lives and continues to do so (though I do worry about the vaccine), and it really is a dreadful problem throughout the world, it is ‘a’ problem and, Margaret, you are so right – it is certainly not the only one, and (dare I say it) not really the biggest problem or concern for some, though I know there are those who would not agree. Maybe if COVID19 is the main worry in a person’s life then perhaps that person is fortunate in that they do not have any other major problems (especially health ones) they have to contend with.

Just saying…..

Anyway, cheers to you all – and a Happy New Year.

[Margaret Pilkington]

As 2021 approaches, I wish you all a Happier (healthy)New Year.
(Surely...2021 cannot be as dire as 2020 has been)

Only Joshing as you no doubt realise, , at least I sincerly hope so.
Yours the Luddite.

[monkey hanger]

at least when we all wake up in the morning 2020 will be gone for good. on top of this the television programmes might improve to being bang average after all the christmas garbage has been consigned to the vaults for another year.

Aye Tads no worries, I took it how it was meant.


Added to that I seldom get ruffled with the folk on here, we'll have our disagreements, but they're only words when all is said & done, which as we all no "Words can never hurt us!"


Obviously, this observation becomes severly suspect when said words are written on a house brick when they're thrown at us though!!!
