The say anything, what's on your mind thread

On another note, I just realised, I'm drinking a latte while eating iced buns. I all of a sudden feel really posh.

haha, gay.

I'm only a month behind you. I thought it would just be a phase I'd get over. If it was up to the girlfriend, she'd have the site destroyed.

My ex felt the very same. Now we all know the true reason for her being an ex.
That and the sexy Brazilian tranny*.










*Spud was gonna say it, best I kill it at the pass. Or start a whole new conversation. Either way...

how does this photo make you feel Bonnie?

I joined this site on January 15, 2009. 4 bloody years talking shoite.

When I saw that I thought "I must have been around then too" then I checked and realised it was October 2006. I'm 30 in a couple of weeks and will be married in less than 6 months. Time is moving scarily fast. Someone cuddle me...

Moist.

I didn't get tickets to The Knife this morning. I was in bad form.

I then received notice that two of my mates did. My mood has staged a spectacular turnaround. Get in to ****!

Why do Sky trot out meaningless statistics during a game such as the % possession figures for the past 5 MINUTES!!?

Was a back seat passenger with my little lad on the way home from the gym. Queen came on Silver Rain FM, Bohemian Rhapsody. So, of course, I started singing and acting up. My son told me to stop, my other half too, so I went a little quiet for parts until both began laughing. The whole time I was caught between Wayne's World and Father Noel. Am I sick to prefer the latter version? I can't hear the song now without Graham Norton screeching "Meeeeee!!!".

And only on Friday giving a talk to clients I was asked about "sombre" music for events, and I thought of "Dies Irae" and remembered watching a full orchestral and choral production of the piece here in Russia, and I kept giggling through Dies Irae (Day of Wrath) when I thought of Father Ted. #needhelpmuch (just to annoy anti-taggers :-) )

At least you have a job. I didn't get out of bed until 2pm because of the sheer thought of doing nothing all day yet again.

On a positive note though, I might be getting a bar job. On a negative note, that means weekend work, which would restrict attendance of matches.

The dilemma ensues.

I note the potential alcoholism is not a thing you're considering as an issue.

I feel for you Nigel. I had 12 months of that, worst year of my life.

Right now I'd take it.

However that's just me feeling sorry for myself and a glib statement.

in reality I'd lose my mind.

Though the talk of voluntary redundancies here is rather intriguing.

I'm at the stage now where I'm considering running my own gig promotion company of sorts. Setting up gigs and promoting them and hope to feck I make 50 or 100 quid a week out of them. In Letterkenny, it's not a great career opportunity, but it's extra money.
You don't know boredom until you've sat around for a year and a half doing nothing.

I did it for 3 months after Oz in 2006 and I was fit to be tied.

Goiod idea so you're not idle though. Money is money.

From having the same experience when i first moved to Canada (13 months waiting for work visa) i understand the boredom levels. In fact, it was more than boredom, i sunk into a bit of depression. I would be wary of that Nigel. Im gonna sound like an Irish mammy but staying up til all hours and getting up in the afternoon (as i did) is bad news. I actually ended up volunteering 3-4 days a week and coached a local soccer team in Sask (blind leading the blind... ) and it brought me out of my slump. Id recommend doing the same if it is an option. It wont pay the bills but it will make you feel better in the long run.

Also, take the bar job if youre offered it. Who cares about missing matches? Despite what we sometimes think, theres more important things than football.

[nigel-harps1954]

Ah yeah of course Stu, the missing matches was more tongue in cheek. If I got offered the job there would be no hesitation.

Slumped into a bit of depression before and I know how awful that feels. It's why I remain fairly active, like playing football, playing darts, and of course, playing with the band. It keeps me relatively sane.

At just 23 years old, I'm 8469 days on this planet. Interesting. Counting down till 10,000 days.
