Feeling Blue…

Could use cheering up, been doing so well today pretending that it is just another day… I think it’s being home alone tonight that has just rammed home the bad memories of this day (lost my son who was 12 days old). Life has been a complicated mess for so long.

So, tell me glad tidings, rubbish jokes… anything really. Stuff to make me smile 🙂

Life isn’t really that bad btw, I have moved on in all possible ways and there will be a new small person in my life next Spring (from a new relationship too which is not damaged like the old one was)

But I still need a wee pick up tonight.

Firstly i’m sorry for your loss.

Myself and others here have suffered the same and there’s no easy way in dealing with the emotions that will naturally follow.

Talking will help, so please if you need to, just talk there’s plenty of ears here.

And a joke.
A really bad one.
I asked my Nan what she wanted for Christmas…

“Something from the Body Shop please” she replied….

Just hope she’s got room in her lounge for the bonnet and 2 front wings from a Mondeo i’ve got her…

I know riding is but a trivial thing when compared with such a personal loss, Capt… but now we can start saying that summer is finally on its way (kind of!). And, hopefully, it’ll be chocka with days like this… 🙂

That video reminds me of how I used to feel – my riding took a massive hit when my riding buddy moved to Oz 5 years ago, and died completely when I left Stirling. Got to sort myself out and start getting out, meeting people and riding again. More days like that video needed I think!

What part of the world are you in Capt Kronos?

Migrated to Cumbria a couple of years ago – the South West corner there of.

So it isn’t exactly a mountain biking wasteland… just need to get my self together, and stop making excuses that the Marin isn’t good enough to use (because my old Yeti needs way too much spent on it to be economically viable at the moment – it may get stripped and sold at some stage to part fund a new bouncy bike)

A man opens his door and finds a snail on his front porch. He picks it up and throws it across the street.
A year later the man opens his door and finds the same snail on his front porch.
The snail looks up and says, “What the hell was that all about?

Ref the bike rides/people to ride with, why not contact the bogtrotters

I know that some members live in your part of Cumbria, ( Barrow in Furness, Ulverston etc )

Cheers Gary 🙂 Last time I checked the nearest was in Kendal, probably time I checked them out again… well… once I have some time at weekends to do stuff again!

Sorry to hear capt.

O.K. an oldie but a goodie

Man walks into a bar with a pig under his arm and the barman says ‘where did you get that?!’

‘I won him in a raffle!’ says the pig

Hang in there Captain

So, these two strings walk into a bar and the bartender says to them “we don’t serve your kind here”. The strings look at each other and say “huh?” and the bartender repeats, “we don’t serve strings here, so get out”.
So the two strings walk outside and sit down on the curb. One feels bummed, but the other one tangles himself all up and starts to undwind his ends. “What are you doing?” says his buddy. “Just watch” he says
He walks back into the bar and the bartender says “Hey arent you one of those strings that just came in here a few minutes ago?
And the string says…..
No sir, I’m a frayed knot.

A man walks into his bedroom with a sheep under his arm. His wife is lying in bed reading.

The man says, “This is the pig I have sex with when you’ve got a headache.”

His wife replies, “I think you’ll find that is a sheep.”

The man replies, “I think you’ll find I was talking to the sheep.”

Remember that every down is followed by an up. Enjoy nights of uninterrupted sleep while you can and look forward to all the joy you can expect when the day comes. Afraid I’m having a mental block on the joke front, must be the lack of sleep.

Sorry to hear you are down.

I offer this to cheer u up:

Man meets a cougar in a bar. She buys him a drink and they get chatting. The evening goes well and after 2 drinks she asks him if he would go home with her. The young man thinks this could be good and goes to the womans house. She offers him a coffee and they sit on the sofa and the woman kisses him passionately. A few minutes later she asks him if he would be interested in some mother daughter sex. The young man thinks this is a weird but the woman is very sexy and this could be good evening to tell the lads at work. So he agrees. The woman calls up the stairs….

MUM!

From my 6 year old.

Why do giraffes have long necks?
Because their feet smell – boom tish!

(I’m here all week………..)

My son asked me what the difference was between school dinners and a bucket of manure.

School dinners are usually cold.

Today is a much better day, I have survived another year. Helped having something to have a wee chuckle about last night, so thankyou all!

Onwards and upwards eh 🙂

a motorway and a dual carriageway are sat in a bar having a drink.

suddenly there’s a bit of a racket coming from the other side of the room. Motorway gets up to have a look. There’s a long thin pink strip of tarmac having a row with a bus lane.

“what’s up?” asks the dual carriageway.
“oh, it’s just a cyclepath kicking off”

Hope you have a happy Christmas Capt.
