Why is everyone in such a bad mood right now?

It's the CO_2 shortage, isn't it? You've all been starved of CO_2 and you've gone for each other's throats.

That or the heat.

In other news, I've discovered a really good way to alleviate pain from a gum infection is to drink two pints of really cold tonic water.

Really? Gum infection is the worst pain I've ever had, almost fainted with it once on Liverpool St. Station in 1981.

Everyone's always in a bad mood, it's the essential truth of this World of the Cup. You wouldn't know about that, being new to the game of Football, where everyone is angry all the time. Football is life, football is shit, life is shit, just not necessarily.

Consider.

Well, I've been applying a range of unctions and tinctures: benzocaine, cocodamol, ibuprofen, antibiotics, brine, mouthwash ... The only one which has conclusively worked is constantly sipping on tonic water. Of course, it's difficult to do a repeat trial because there's no way I can remember the order and frequency with which I took all the other medications.

Spent 5 hours in terminal B of La Guardia airport.

Grey room, too many people, not enough chairs, no airport bar, no air conditioning (but 33c outside), crying children, football not being shown anywhere, unhappy heavily armed federal employees, shit food.

Fucking miserable.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

We've noticed at work that the complaints are unusually fractious and crackpot-like at the moment.

If you make a British person endure 25 degrees+ for over 30 days in a row this will happen. Look at the Costa Brava.

Its hot, it's stupidly hot, the house doesn't seem to cool down at night, we have two new kittens so have to keep doors closed, and I'm having the worst gout attack I've ever had and am in constant agony only dulled by near-danger levels of codeine. So I have cause to be in a bad mood, but I'm mstly OK I think.

Ive had a terrible pain in my big toe for a few months. Burns like a bastard when it flexes too far. Which is basically with almost every step. I self diagnosed gout, but i dont have amy of the redness associated with it. What symptons are you suffering that you need codeine for?

I am in a relatively great mood.

I have noticed when I am happy everyone else is sad/angry. It's bizarre.

My partner and I have recently adopted a stray cat, and he's settled in really well, but he does have feline leukemia - which in cats, for those unaware, is not cancer but a transmittable virus, and so we've got to have the doors shut and windows pulled to, as not to afflict any other cats. It's stifling.

I bought a fan the other day to keep him cool. I arrived home with it to find that my housemate's family had come round, and, politely uncomplaining, they were shining in the heat like grotesque greenhouse tomatoes.

I'm in a fine mood myself, though. No better or worse than usual. Perhaps actually better, in fact. Drink plenty of water.

I'm in a fantastic mood. 2018 is shaping up to be a very good year indeed.

Until this Sunday......

I am in a good mood. The only thing threatening to spoil it is people who seem to think I shouldn't be. But they can fuck off

This happens to me quite a lot too. Makes you wonder huh.

There's only a certain amount of happiness to go round and you're hogging it.

I'm in a bad mood because everyone's expecting everyone to be a great mood because of the foot ball. The enforced love of the "beautiful game" has made me hate everything and I've started drinking again. I'm the same at Christmas.

It really is quite hot. It's been very very hot for a while. It is starting to cool down this week, but it has been ridiculous. I can't think straight and all my words are jumbled and I keep accidentally insulting people.

Online, I think there should be a delay to posting when its over 24°C. A little message says "Are you really baking right now? Have a stretch and a sip of cold water and then you can post". A ten second delay, along with a photo of a peaceful snowy forest. Or maybe a gif of a cute arctic wolf or polar bear padding through the snow.



Guarantee you any angst on this forum would be resolved. Same with social media - imagine how great Twitter would be if it told you to drink a glass of water between each tweet you sent.

Ah just got to love the little things.

E.g just had a poo in work whilst listening to the sweet sounds of Depeche Mode.

Happiness.

What you're saying is we need a wet T-shirt competition. But before everyone goes all SJW: As everyone knows, I am not in the least bit misogynistic (I am merely deeply suspicious of boobs and foofs, not the souls to which they are connected) so I propose this be a male-only competition. machotrouts will no doubt be happy to join me as a judge.

Oh, back to an all-boys club are we? I SEE HOW IT IS.

Not really seeing the bad mood.  Bar the occasional uncomfortable day (Sunday) we've had weeks of sunshine and people have been chipper.  It's dropped to mid twenties with a gentle breeze now so it should continue.  Football's going well if you support England and summer holidays are here soon.  One or two flare-ups on the forum but it was ever thus.

That sounds like osteoarthritis to me - something else I get to enjoy. If it was gout you'd know about it, you wouldn't be able to flex the toe at all. Or walk, come to think of it. I use a strong anti-inflammatory, Naproxen, to deal with it; the codeine is just to alleviate the actual pain.
