I like this thread

Nice to see that we are not all sheep

there’s no way I’m mowing that lawn

Unbelievable character

I could listen to him all day

Someone who has truly lived

Bump for the daytime crowd

I really like mine

I have noticed cars give you a lot more room when I use it

No problems with water getting in so far, but only been out in moderate rain

Not a chance

I don’t even like taking paracetamol

Are you planning to let it roam free to kill everything and shit everywhere?

If so then no, get a guinea-pig

Yup my wages are online for everyone to to view. I’ve no shame in hiding my shite wages link here

The trainees are on more than me

Shitting hell

To be fair you are saving people’s lives

Annual payrise?

Ha

I’m also interested in part time courses in this field

Some fantastic photos there

I particularly like the abstract & still life, and the street portraits section. I’ve always wanted to take photos of interesting looking people in the street, but I don’t think I’d ever have the charm or confidence to get them to pose for me

I’ve been thinking about getting back into photography for a few months now. I’d like to start a blog or website to upload them to.

I’ve been looking at cameras, and don’t really know where to start. I know I can’t afford the ones you’re using! I was considering a Nikon D5500 or a Canon 700d

Well done for getting out op

I can’t bear this weather, it’s horrendous. I find myself getting out of bed later and later.

Even leaving the house to walk to the car isn’t appealing

Does not work that way coz physical environment means f-all to happiness while the lesser the burden in your mind the happier you will be.

I’d disagree. The weather has a massive effect on me. I find the UK culture also very depressing. I’m not saying there is a perfect place, but there definitely is a better place for me.

Getting towards mid 40’s now and I still don’t know what to do

I’d like to be happy, that’s the main thing, and I haven’t been happy since my 20’s

I’m struggling with health, anxiety, frustration. I think this has come about by health not being great for over 10 years. Losing my (admittedly very flaky) circle of friends, and being in a job that used to be not badly paid, but is now awful. I’m a Civil Engineering technician and I’m not even earning enough to pay off my student loan from 20 years ago

I’d like to completely change my surroundings, I’d love to move to another country, somewhere with much better weather, but I really don’t see how I can do it. If I could save a bit of cash I’d just go somewhere and wing it, but it’s not possible due to just breaking even

So, new surroundings and happiness are what I want. I’m not greedy, enough cash for bills, a roof over my head, nice food and a holiday or two would suit me fine

Why would anyone want to go to Montmartre?

Because it looks lovely?

Yes it’s touristy, but it is a very pretty area

It’s balls

Well it’s not so bad on the laptop, but on the phone it’s awful

You can’t see how many unread junk messages there are, you can’t select more than one message at a time to move them or mark as read

I’m off to find something else to moan about

It now looks like this, and the website address changed from Hotmail to Outlook live

Htc one

I haven’t installed any outlook apps, this is viewing through the browser

I’d always go for Facom over Snap On

The ratcheting mechanisms are much nicer, more precise

Sure a Snap On could probably double as a mallet as they are so tough, but Facom always feel better engineered

I saw something on a site called E-Infinity

I’m guessing it must be Hong Kong based as it’s £100 cheaper than anywhere else

I really miss Christmas leftovers since I always have Christmas day at my brothers house

I’d kill for some turkey sandwiches with stuffing on freshly cut white bread with too much salt on

Alarm!

I think I remember this strange Christmas bonus phenomenon

Outkast – Hey Ya. This was seemingly all they played in the night clubs of New Zealand when I was there in 2003/2004. Happy memories.

I was there at the exact same time, and the 6 months I worked in Queenstown, that was our work tune

It was played a lot

Loads of them but the most specific is Crowded a House, Weather with you.

First ever Glastonbury festival. Pitching our tent in the sun on the hill in front of the pyramid stage. Thinking what a strange wonderful place it was. This was when tickets were on sale for months, not minutes, so I’m guessing early 90’s. When I had more hair and decent health. I’d give an arm and a leg to go back to those happy times

Sorry to hear about your loss Bedds

Due to a combination of having a year abroad, one mate falling out with me, health problems (lyme), no cash for going out I’ve not got a single one

I’ve got 2! Send me £50 (PP Gift) & you can have them.

pics and you’ve got a deal 😉

don’t you have to bake it to enamel it?

I’ve been there and they have none left and they don’t know where they got them from 😐

Bag of nuts last year

Properly annoyed 😀

Maybe this year I’ll get an orange

Also a few years ago, a coffee machine, I haven’t drank coffee for around 10 years

Culturally sophisticated but no cash

What a surprise

Don’t go into engineering

Project +1

All I hear is ‘I was at a party at the weekend with Noel Gallagher/Rita Ora/Mark Ronson blah blah London blah blah X-Factor’

The pair of wazzocks

Both extremely irritating

I’ll definitely swap

GTI Club

Very simple, and only a few tracks, but I spent hours on that

Fair old trek for me that 😀

What was the starting point?

I can’t get my head around going up snake pass to Castleton

I’m older and still renting

No way of saving, even if I wanted to

I’m not that keen on renting, but I know the current landlord, which makes things less stressful

Eric Brown

I don’t know how much of the true personality we get to see, but Tom Hanks seems like a decent person

Stereophonics first album is great

Unfortunately it all went a bit wrong after that, much like a lot of other bands, Killers, dare I say Coldplay etc
