To the Cyclechat Grumps: What brings you actual joy?

[randynewmanscat]

Punching fascists

This one I have not indulged in since the late 70's, it was more a feeling of satisfaction at dispensing justice than joy for me.

 

[vickster]

I'm glad there is so much joy around

I just looked on CC this morning...the panto thread, full of miserable grumps...Gavin & Stacey thread, full of miserable grumps. I can't understand those who revel in being miserable so and sos, they make all those around them less happy. So why revel in it?

There are at least 3 more anti Christmas/anti NY/anti TV threads in the first 2 pages of the ‘lighthearted’ cafe and that’s without the ones on ignore/from ignored posters!

I must admit that I am another person who has a happy disposition. I find humour in most things and I don't take things to serious.

Your a long time dead and I don't see the point for being a grumpy old bugger. Plus I have first hand experience of a grumpy person and all they do is to make others lives as miserable as their own. They suck all the joy out of everything. I'd rather live to be 50 and happy than 90 and be a miserable old bugger.

This gives me pleasure

But I’m not a grump.

Because I don't like Panto doesn't make me grumpy about everything, I like Gavin & Stacey, you dont have to agree, some people do and some don't, that makes me happy, it would be a dull world if we agreed about everthing'

PS I hate Strickly and it makes me happy when its finished.

 

[ColinJ]

I find all these threads where the old blokes here try to outgrump each other rather tedious.

So what brings you real joy?

Sometimes, riding my bike on a sunny day.

Apart from that... er, I had better take the Fifth in order not to confirm my tedious, moaning old grump status!

PS The question was aimed at we tedious, moaning old grumps, so why are so many of you unfeasibly happy people answering?

No it wouldn't

Spreading the joy,Colin, spreading the joy

 

[ColinJ]

Spreading the joy,Colin, spreading the joy

I've heard of it!

Exactly

Not taking yourself* tooo seriously is key...

* Nor anyone else for that matter.

There's far more important and uplifting stuff to be done

Because we know it annoys you??

>>> Oops, there's another guilty pleasure.. Annoying gwumpy ppl, by being unreasonably cheery <<<<<

 

[Oldbloke]

Going out for a ride on a sunny day with light breeze blowing, stopping off at one of my favourite boulangeries after an hour or two then stuffing my face with a filled baguette followed by a big sticky pastry

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Wandering through woods, kicking leaves, seeing the sunlight filter through, and squirrels going about their business. Or the same but on misty days when all is silent. The crunch of freshly fallen snow underfoot. Climbing hills on foot or my bike when I'm fit and it feels like I can keep going for ever. Sitting on a bench watching the world go by in its ever busy mode, on their phones, unaware of your observation.

 

[Drago]

Carol Vorderman, nekked, covered in marmite, with a pint of Guinness balanced in her cleavage and a rolled up copy of Bass Player magazine perched in her bum crack. This would bring me great pleasure indeed, sufficient to stop me moaning about anything for several minutes.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Apologies, I'm not a grump so shouldn't have responded.

Over to the grumps...
