Definitely seasonally affected for me.

Tend to be less grumpy and fed up in the warmer and lighter months.

Grumpy? What about Sleepy and Sneezy and Doc and Bashful and Dopey eh? Sod Happy, he doesn't care!

Seriously though, yes I get very grumpy. That's when I've taught myself not to post on forums. That's not a joke by the way. In the past I've let my grumpiness spill over into day to day conversations and felt very stupid and had to be very contrite afterwards. It's a lot easier to just shut up and come back later these days.

I try not to be grumpy, but I do lack tolerance of people who waste my time and those negative types who suck the life out of everyone around them.

Mostly, though, I prefer to smile if I can.

But other make these negative types worse. I know I can be very Negative.

I learned with people you never ever ask them if they are ok because nine times out of ten they will say No & off they go moaning

Aint you got a Jewel case for the CD in your Avi?

i created the term   

Negative vibes don't do anyone any good.
I try to fight against them.
Usually I succeed.

Intolerance can be a good thing IMO: Tolerance, positive discrimination and political correctness piss me right off. I'm fed up with declining moral standards and social norms with people thinking they can do what ever the heck they like no matter how it impacts on others and society in general. We are ruled by far too many libertarian do-gooders preaching tolerance and understanding which simply pushes the boundaries of what is acceptable.

There is already a backlash as seen by Brexit and Trump. People have been pushed too far by the softie, left-leaning political buffoons that have flushed the Western World down the toilet. I'm not sure either are the correct medicine for our ills, but I do believe they are a sign of frustration and desperation by ordinary hardworking people who want to arrest the decline. I live in hope of a far more authoritarian stance on crime, welfare and immigration. Blair and his ilk have only fed and nurtured the disease. Now we need a real sea-change in thinking where "tolerance" isn't automatically seen as a virtue.

Well done Paul for being intolerant Oh, and I'm not grumpy. Just speaking my mind.
