Due to circumstances beyond my own and anyone else's control, I've been left in a situation where I can't tie my own shoe laces. Can anyone help me out? Or maybe offer any advice? As I'm not capable of thinking for myself, for some reason!

Wiping my own arse is also becoming problematic...

😉

No, it's not funny; I've suddenly been rendered incapable of working anything out for myself, and feel compelled to ask others on an internet cycling forum...

I'd love to help but I too am suffering and due to circumstance beyond my control I've completely forgotten how to type, sorry.

What do you look like? If you're kind of cute, with a six-pack and big guns, I might come round and help you.

If not, sorry, I'm busy 😉

NEVER FAILS!!!!!!!! IT WILL ALL COME FLOODING BACK!!!!!!!

I've tried and tried to tie you, shoe.
I've never done it yet.
A loop that flip-flops on the floor
Is as close as I can get.
I've practiced on spaghetti.
I've practiced on the mop.
I've practiced on my sister
Until she made me stop.
So here's the loop again, shoe.
I'll hold it with my thumb.
I'll wrap the other end around...
And yank it into bows.
It's done!

I've long suspected from your moronic ranting on here that these simple tasks may have been beyond you but thanks for the confirmation all the same.

Apologies for not getting back sooner, but I completely lost all power of rational thought, and was thus rendered even more useful then ever!

I keep my hair much neater and tidier than that.

Thank you GrahamS; I don't know what I would have done, without your help.

Even though I've got the same internet access as everyone else, I'm just incapable of thinking for myself, and need help to deal with even the simplest of problems...

Well, the reason he can't tie his shoelaces is because he looks more like this -

Why is everyone being cruel and unkind to me? 😥

how about, in the next hour, you come up with a costed itinerary for them (2 adults) to get home by, say 36hrs from now ?

But how on Earth would I do that? Would it require me using the internet to find out information for myself? I just don't think I'm capable of such an incredibly demanding task...

Ah! Penny drops! I was just thinking that pic of Trotsky looks a lot like that self-posted pic of rudeboy, then scaredypants calls Talkemada 'Fred'. Have I missed a trick here?

No, it's just that some folk on here seem to think I'm the reincarnation of some tortured soul who used to frequent these parts. I'm not of course, and resent the comparison, as I would like to be recognised in my own right.

I get my mum to tie mine for me. If you ask her nicely she may do yours too.

Anything else you need any help with?

What to have for lunch perhaps?

Funnily enough, I've actually been compared to Vin Deisel! Imagine a scaled-down version; still well buff, but not as massive. I've got nicer eyes though. And I'm more intellectual... 🙂

i never knew there was so much to lacing...

are there other areas of experience that are much more complex than i realised, despite coping adequately this far?

Nope, not working Karin, sorry. Are you trying to link to an actual computer or something, rather than an image stored on a server? Strange address.

I'm, assuming, from the 'midget' part, that it's of a very wee person. Almost too wee, perhaps?

I'm in good shape for my age, all my own teeth and most of my hair. I enjoy swimming, cycling, art, music and shiny things. Mental condition not too bad, depending on the weather. 😀

😕 You strike me as a very shallow person, Karinofnine ...... if you don't mind me saying so.

There is more than just primitive and animal like carnal lust, to defining whether someone is "attractive".
What about their intellect? their personality? whether they are warm and generous? kind and witty?.....eh ?
I'm disappointed

Although [i]as it happens[/i]......... Talkemada is a right dopey **** with the personality of a comatose sheep.
So not really an issue in this particular instance.

I think you'll find gus/ernie that most* of the men on here prefer looks over personality. Seeing the way the comments are on certain A & A posts on a Friday.

I'm sure 'Fred' appreciates the kind comments, and I'm sure he has no need to be defended against Ernie, who is really mean and nasty. 🙁

Why are you so nasty, Ernie? Never a good word for anyone. I bet you turn water into vinegar just by looking at it, you're so vile and eaten up with nastiness. Why can't you try being nice to people, like me? Is it really too much to ask?

I think Ernie just needs a bit of love, and maybe a hug. But nobody's going to want to hug a prickly hedgehog, are they Ernie? Try to make an effort, and be nicer to folk. See if you can do it just for tonight. And if you can manage that, then maybe give it another go tomorrow.

Give it a go; you never know, it might make you feel a bit better.

Fred and Gus used to talk like this to one another all the time. It's a remarkable coincidence that you've already developed something similar. Kinda cute though...

Well, I'm not surprised that Ernie upset others. He was nasty to me almost as soon as I joined this forum.

I suspect, that deep down, he really wants to be nice. He just can't allow himself to be.

Ernie, if you are willing to change, then I am willing to help you. Building bridges and all that.

Can't be nasty all your life. It's just not good for you.

Dear me! We need to get you two down to Swinley Forest - chill out on the singletrack followed by a nice cup of tea. I'm sure Aleigh will be more than happy to accompany us. 8)

The bridge at Swinley has been built but don't think either of you have ridden it.

What you say?

You bloody liar! You've deliberately upset me on several occasions, by being mean and nasty. Some nights, I've cried myself to sleep over your hurtful and malicious comments. 😥

You [i]can[/i] be nice though. It'll just take some effort on your part.

Me and Cinnamon Girl will help you.
