General Chat

Carol. We have a new Sainsbury in Ponty. Beautiful store. And one great thing about it is the restaurant. Without any doubt, it is the best place to have breakfast in Valleys. And I am comparing them with the bracchis (Italian restaurants) which permeate round here and are very good.

Perhaps Maerdy Market (Cwtch Mamas) is as good, but quite a bit more pricey that JS.

:-D
Feel free to chat about any subject, as long as it is friendly.

I wrote a shopping list last night as store cupboard & freezer are looking like Mother Hubbard's. :-|
I aimed to go to Sainsburys early & treat myself to breakfast before I shopped ... got distracted, so might have to be a light lunch now :-D

Family coming to lunch on Sunday so am hoping they have large beef joints on offer, as the one left in the freezer will definitely not feed 9.

Haven't been to Wagamamas for ages. Almost my favourite restaurant. And that Firecracker!! And tea-stained eggs :-0

And I am also Kwesi for the staff. They are all so friendly, Ann.

Think we are both off topic. But who cares? Certainly not lovely Carol, I feel sure :-D :-D

I'm friendly :-D

went for a meal in Wagamamas last night - the waiter was wearing a rather nice silver bracelet - I commented how nice it was and he showed me it had his middle name inscribed on it - Kwesi - he was from Zambia.

After he'd left the table my friend commented that they had named a song after him - the one with Patsy Cline - Crazy!!! Cwazy!!!! I told him as we left - I think he's still laughing!!

Totally agree, Carol. And I think the other problem is that very few of us read properly, go off topic, have silly spats with a screen in front of us and spill our seventh cup of coffee in temper.

When I see you post, all I see on my screen is flowers and sunshine :-D :-D Same with several others - RRose, Mersey, Dermot, Emma, Cynthia, Dizzi.....

Will not make anyone else blush ;-)

People just aren't friendly.

These days I think twice before I start a thread or comment on any thread on the General Chat Board, partly because of personal comments directed at me and partly because, there are those who seem to take delight in filling threads with trivial and irrelevant dross, usually copied from Wikipedia, that has nothing to do with what the thread was about :-(

Come on; let’s see if we can breathe some life back into into this General Chat Board.

GR chat used to be a fun place where those trapped in their homes could be sure of a few threads to add to and fill a few empty hours. At times it turned into a minefield, where an innocent remark caused large explosions, but these threads could be ignored and a friendly one easily found.

After a bit of a break from GR, I started looking in again.

What did I find?
A slow moving board, with a few large daily threads, joke threads which had lost the joke because of a phantom RR’er, threads which looked as if they were fun but were being spoilt because of sarcastic posts aimed at the author and very little else.
