I think that people would think that regardless... That's human nature in most cases imo, to look at what 'we're' doing wrong rather than to look at the external environment. Esp if confidence is lowered, people really can blame themselves.
Most rational people don't take any notice of the media. I think I've only read one paper here in 8 months. Far too busy to be spending money lining the pockets of that family, though many do.

Not entirely sure about that. People on this part of the forum are repeatedly accused of blaming the place, when we should be blaming ourselves.

Everyone is different and likes different things, no blame should be put on anyone or anything, it's just the way it is.

Yes and thank god for MP3 players.

I agree. To talk about blame is pretty meaningless.

I was asked how I enjoyed living in "God's front garden'. I nearly choked on my coffee for laughing

I hear a lot of 'There must be something wrong with me - everyone loves it but I don't, ergo, there's something I'm not doing right.'
It depends which posts we're reading I guess... I don't read them all, that's for sure.

I'm with Wendy too... I'm not sure that anyone needs to blame anything if it doesn't work out here. It's either right or it's not, you can either hack it, or you can't.
There's too much blame culture on this site and it's silly.

Bloody good anyone who tries it if they want to and if they don't like it, c'est la vie. If we all liked everything we tried, the world would be a very dull place imo.

That's funny. Obviously someone who'd never visited England.

Well said. Inter-forum balance is now restored.

Even I agree with all that. Offski now to take some more Prozac

Good to hear it.


Shit, if I'd known it was going to be that easy, I'd have popped in sooner.

I think we are entering an entirely new era of understanding

don't overdo it now

LOL. Funny dame.

Group hug?














perhaps not..
