Muttering

Fred, it is just one of the many mysteries of life!

He does not look like a happy camper :-O

Or, as Asterix said: “Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb”

He needs to keep calm and chive on.

British: to talk in a low inarticulate way : mutter

“Chunter” – a new word for me. Don’t recall ever seeing or hearing it. Thanks!

Well, I learned something new today. Virtually useless, old chap; but something nonetheless…

He’s got some last minute scranletting clear down to Ticklepenny Corner.

Either he didn’t raise the lid,or, she took the remote away from him in the middle of a soccer/cricket match..

New to me too—but I’m going to just let it lie there, not going to say things like “How do they know when to use it?”

Is that the same as “grumble, grumble”?
