Bloomin' eck - i thought losing my fiancee and being made redundant with a mortgage hanging over me was a bad deal!
At least i'm healthy, so i'll stop complaining.

I should show this thread to my parents... They seem to think ive made a buggery of my life so far... I feel sorry though for the people who have had no part in their bad luck.
A friend of a friend of mine, made a bit of a mistake. He was 18, just finished alevels and due to join the marines. He was exactly how you would imagine someone being who would join the forces... Im sure w=he would have had a great career. Instead, one night him and a few others decided to go to some local woods, and mess around with BB guns. They got a bit hungry and ordered some pizza's. Somewhere along the line, one of them suggested robbing the pizza, and cash. They probably would have got away with that. But instead they stole the pizza delivery car, tied the driver to a tree, and took the car for a drive. They got pulled over, and charged for a number of offences, including armed robbery. He got 12 years in prison, will never be able to join the army etc, and a serious criminal record. Really not the kind of person you would have expected to be involved with that kind of thing... It was all his own fault though, and im sure he now regrets it.

Anyway, nevermind all this- worse problems to come binners. Had our scan today. There is going to be a male hora to continue the manwhoring line. In a few years time, one day he will be breaking girls hearts throughout manchester.....get your daughters upto the Lakes now!
Might be gay you know
Nothing bad personally but I remember my mum being in hospital and there was a young guy, early twenties in the ward.
He'd had a massive row with his parents one night, stormed out the house and spent the night sleeping rough. In the middle of January.
Severe frostbite meant they had to amputate both his feet

Might be gay you knowI know but I couldnt face the PITA of a daughter when they hit 13.
Now on Dialysis waitng for some poor bugger to die so I can have one of their kidneys, don't have a job, don't have a great deal of energy or concentration due to kidney failure.
That's not good BadBlood, i'm hoping things look up for you soon. Just don't take any jobs delivering pizza, it's just not safe.
2 years ago things were looking shite. Business was going down the tubes and my house along with it.
Sold the business to a bigger mug (he went bust within a year) moved to the Channel Islands, and things are looking a lot rosier.
The whole thing turned around in a matter of weeks. It is amazing what you can do when you stop feeling sorry for yourself
I don't see how you can turn your life around in a recession. Perhaps someone can explain it to me please?

In one 5 min phone call in which I had to make an on the spot decision, I chose the wrong one, a decision which lost me the potential to increase my annual profits by tens of thousands.

I'm feeling your pain there CG! No new job by the new year for me = declaring myself personally bankrupt! Still worse things happen...
Got a similar story to the one about the kid wanting to join the marines. A guy who used to work for me a few years ago who was to all intents and purposes a good lad, though a bit easily lead. His mates as I understand it weren't that bad a bunch, but they liked to cause mischief. Anyway, for a laugh his mates came up with the idea of "faking" an armed robbery on, of all places, the local Premier Inn hotel! Anyway...
Long story short, 4 of em apparently walked into the Premier Inn in Balaclavas, BB guns in hand, scared the crap out of the poor girl on the reception (as you would!), got her to empty the till... All £50 of it (yeah seriously, how thick can you be!)...
They got pulled over in their car about a mile down the road by the cops so I believe... He got 6 years inside for assisting an armed robbery, and he was the one driving the car (he hadn't even gone inside!)... Idiots!
Also, I'm trying to remember the name of the girl but right now it escapes me, but about 10 years ago you may or may not remember that a teenage girl was murdered on a train in France? She was my ex GF's best mate! What do you say when you find out something like that?
That story about the seals on the beach though has really brightened me day! Yeah, I know it's awful, but it's damned funny...
I know times are hard an all that but at least the majority of us can have a good laugh. That seal story has had me in tears of laughter!
