Pessimists are seldom disappointed and rarely outraged.

No need for it is there Graham?

Elderflower presse indeed. The sheer poncitude makes me sick. 😡

Angostura bitters

Angostura bitters? Aaaaang-go-stoo-ra bitters?? In gin?

Are you stark raving mad?

I go into everything with low expectations, then revise them down a bit

I’m having that, especially for any dealings with co-workers 🙂

Born an optomist to die disappointed ……. or maybe not.

An optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds. A pessimist fears this may be so.

Fred do you mean you’re one of those frightful types who refer to ‘gravy’ rather than a ‘jus’

May I suggest you pop along to the ‘sliced bread’ thread? mate 😉

Don’t start Binners with yer ‘jus’ nonsense, or you’ll get a slap when I see you….

One of the most traditional accompaniments for gin

Optimists reach beyond their grasp. One person believing in the impossible is the vital step toward expanding everyone’s possibilities.

I’d rather be optimisitc and occasionally right, than pessemistic and always right……

Pink gin, Sir?

How irritating OP for you to live with one…..

‘jus sayin’

My take on it is you make the best of what comes at you some of its rubbish yes but there’s too much moaning about everything these days

(warning annoying quote coming up)

If life throws you lemons crack open the tequila (I know not technically right but who wants lemonade?)

Love Bagpuss AKA the person that lives with a pessimist and is greying early due to this…….

You are the yin to my yang dear. So…. following your argument logically there….erm…. because I’m a miserable moaning bastard, you’re getting tequila in this evening? Is that right?

My take on it is you make the best of what comes at you some of its rubbish yes

there’s a difference between making the best of things and burying your head in the sand…
