IRRITABLE MALE SYNDROME - ARE YOU A GOG .......

 ........ OR just fed-up with Blogger?

Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS) - the newly coined phrase/more pleasant way of referring to someone who is otherwise known as a Grumpy Old Git (GOG).


Thought to be caused by a drop in the male hormone, testosterone, its main 'symptoms' are anger and sullen withdrawal in men aged between 40 and 60.


Hmm, I don't know about it being only a condition found in men as, if I'm being totally honest, I can be grumpy every now and then - just ask Husband dearest how much earache he has been getting over Blogger in the last week or so.


Ah the joys of Blogger, just when I thought it had all been sorted and I could post and comment away to my hearts desire yet another gremlin seems to have worked its way into the system - this time when leaving comments on some of my blogger buddies sites only half the words are forming (if I'm lucky, some words aren't appearing at all)not that it really matters as I'm unable to post anyway as clicking on 'Post Comment' seems to have zilch effect(Aggghhhhhh) so apologies if I haven't been my usually communicative self, I have been visiting .... honest.


Anyway ........

Do you correct everyone's grammar and expect them to care? Do you find yourself constantly shouting at a non-responsive television screen? Then you may have a "healthy" grasp of the grumpy old man in you.


But be warned it is a dating site that will ask for some personal information, just ignore this, the questions are optional, and click for your results. Mine showed ......

I had a 14% grumpiness rating.

Whats yours?
