    A wedding shoot. I hate weddings….and people. Total non-starter.

    Been there with that one, never had so many family members look at me with disgust when asking them to smile then was threatened at the end of the night by a very drunk woman who demanded I get them ready for the next day……..still don’t know who she was

    shopping centre in town has 2 pubs next to the main door, in front of the car park.

    Plenty Brewers Fayre type places have car parks and next to busy roads, for instance, the one at Kincardine

    Not really sure how this is any different, surely if people are going to drive shit-faced then location isn’t really much of a factor

    Unplugged everything, left 10 mins and plugged back in? Done a software update?

    Yep, done all that stuff

    We had a guy in on Saturday cleaning the gutters, I was in the house – TV’s working, I go out, pay him, shut the side gate behind him, go back in the house, telly’s gubbed. I reckon he might have cracked the dish with his ladders. As both boxes are not getting a signal, it points the to dish or the LNB – hopefully fixed tomorrow

    Forza 4 if you like driving games

    The last Hitman game can be had for less than 15 quid and Halo 4 has also been seen for about 20

    I’ve driven the Nurburgring on the xbox many times and it’s amazing the amount of corners the mind can remember.

    Of course, plonk me on the track and I’ll lie down in the foetus position and cry like a girl

    so when they say ” Going into 6th gear and just relaxing ” What?

    That always amazes me – “so, we’re in the mountains, we can just relax and enjoy the ride……..at 160 mph”

    A: There was mention of this in the DCT test in this months Ride magazine
    B: It’s all about horsepower and what not these days, the NC700 is 51bhp and requires an A1 license (above 33bhp)

    DVLA? Everythings changed so much with the motorbike licenses

    I stormed wandered off in disappointment when seeing the Foo Fighters at IoW 2011

    Almost walked out (or away as it was outside) of their Milton Keynes gig if It wasn’t that I was the designated driver and I would never have found my mates again. 50 quid for a gig that i was just plain bored by and more impressed by the support…….shame really as I’ve liked them since their first album.

    Having had another listen today I’m part way taking back what I said previously. While I’m not giving it genius status just yet, it does benefit from several listens.

    Also I didn’t realise that it was a bit more “live” than usual Daft Punk stuff :oops:

    used to. got me into all kinds of shit. don’t do it anymore. im now firmly in the ‘ if i dont have the money, i dont buy it’ camp. and a lot happier for it.

    Yep! I’m paying off the debt I accumulated due to stupidity and lack of patience. Sure I’m skint a lot of the time, but I’m now not buying shit I don’t need, which is liberating. Amazing when you’re not slapping it on a credit card how much more expensive and pointless a video game looks (just one of many examples) :D

    I too would like to extol the virtues of Brooklyn Lager

    I would also like to throw the following into the ring:

    I’m going through somewhat of a US inspired odyssey

    listening now, only just into first track, hoping it builds up to something better

    edit: finding myself getting bored and skipping, so far, I hate to say that Get Lucky might be the standout track. Now glad I haven’t ordered the vinyl

    I love how the Daily Mail show you a picture of Whitney Houston just in case you’re not sure who she is, and also a picture of a plane, just in case you’ve never seen one before

    No need legal requirement for a CBT, i’ll be just hopping on and buzzing about,

    Still, might help confidence to do a CBT rather than just flying out into traffic, you’d be surprised what you don’t know and you can do it on your own bike

    Amusing that the guy in the video describes the woman in the mini as a “**** retard” for basically doing exactly what he’s doing, trying to get to the head of the traffic first regardless how much of a pain int he arse he’s being to other road users.

    also seems to be more space between the username and when the text starts in a post……in fact, have those dotted lines always been there?

    I blame the clothing for the most part.

    Don’t know what you mean?

    Anytime I look at Timbuk2’s blog, I always think that San Francicians look reasonably cool

    cheers for that xcgb, i’ll have a right good look at that. Sorry if it all came across a bit doom and gloom.

    One bit advice I can give to the sufferers, little things. Sounds stupid but doing the little things seems to give me more enjoyment and fulfillment than anything else. Just done some hoovering and listening to Boards of Cananda at the moment. Do a little of the coding I keep putting off, take the dog out and get dinner ready for the wife coming in will give me a sense of accomplishment today than wondering how I can afford a BMW 1200GS and a new car, and a holiday to the US and a new bike and all the crap in life that I don’t need.

    I am, depressed that is, and I have been for the last 10 years.

    Seems so long now that I find it difficult to remember what It was like to not be depressed in some way. I did spend an awful amount of time a few years back being bounced around different medical types who had different takes on what it was and how to treat it.

    At the moment, i spend inordinate amounts of the day in a mood that ranges from sarcastic, depressive, obsessive, argumentative, quick to temper amongst others. What I do find difficult is finding a happy mood for any length of time. I’ll get an idea in my head (for example, I might learn how to ride a motorbike) and obsess about it for hours if not days then all of a sudden, after deciding to change everything about myself to fit into a mould that I believe you fit in to, will talk myself out of it.

    It affects my work, my chance of moving forward at work, my relationship with my wife and how I am with people.

    On the bright side – My doctor is taking it seriously and has referred me to the psychiatric nurse (?) at the local hospital. Also after hours of checking my symptoms online (the weirdest lately, electric shocks in my hip) have pointed me to Generalized Anxiety Disorder – for some reason I need to give it a name.

    Not wanting to talk about it seems to be one of the symptoms – I’ve got it in my head that people would get sick of me talking about it.

    And I can’t even get out on the bike because my back wheel is knackered :roll:

    I’ve been putting of doing something for months, mainly due to fear and lack of commitment, today I refused to procrastinate, got loads done and I feel swell.

    I also took the dog for a long walk in the snow, which he loved, I got soaked but he was happy, so I am happy

    All in all a good day

    basically the Scottish people have agreed to cheer on any team who are up against England because of this:

    We’re sick of hearing about it, and we don’t want you to win anything so you can’t bang on about that for the next 40 odd years

    debt is a terrible thing, easy to say that people should know better but it’s also very easy to find yourself in a spiral of debt that out can’t get out of. It’s very easy to point the finger of blame, but it would seem that the OP and his missus are going through some marriage problems……people cope differently, some drink, some take drugs, some spend money.

    I’ve been there (the debt part, lost job etc) and am currently working on getting myself out of it. Depending on the area the OP lives, there are options other than trying to extend the mortgage, Trust Deed for Scotland, IVA for England (i believe…..Google for more info) where the issue is down to the person, not the couple losing the house.

    It’s not the end of the world, but I wouldn’t be taking on any debt for yourself as your marriage doesn’t exactly sound solid and you don’t want to be saddled with her debt if it all goes tits up

    Well done fella

    I too have been a sufferer of depression, going on ten years, and have only recently taken it upon myself to do something about it. Had counselling in the past that unfortunately didn’t work, neither did the anti-depressants……but then what works for one might not work for the other. Glad you’ve found something that fits

    keep up the good work
