    And another for SGS. Low profile for me, too. Seems to be made okay and hasn’t failed on me yet.

    Fine, if you want to be obtuse

    Not my intention.

    I think what matters and differentiates this persons actions is the intent.

    I still think speeding is a poor example. It’s invariably deliberate and if done without thought then maybe time to review one’s ability to drive safely. Or with due care and attention etc.

    I get the difference but both are selfish, stupid acts. I see little point in distinguishing between two scenarios that affect other folk in a negative fashion. Sure, the note burner is a contemptuous arse but so is that **** speeding because he’s late or maybe just because he wants to test his car and take his favourite corner as fast as Moss/Schumy/Current Guy. Many don’t see a problem with that until someone gets killed.

    I understand the distinction you’re trying to make but I simply don’t agree.

    No way I’m going through the entire thread to see if it’s been mentioned but on the subject of nuts the use of the humble cashew was quite an education, in particular the stuff between the shell outer and inner and its uses.

    I also read somewhere it (the shell) could be used to produce phone cases or something – might be wrong. Google it for your daily fix…

    Zilog has a point, Jimjam, and this…

    Speeding would probably have sufficed for what I was trying to say.

    ..is still tantamount to

    a sneering contempt for other people

    Think about the danger when someone speeding flies round a corner and hits someone assessing a situation based on the current speed limit of that stretch. It’s inconsiderate, regardless. Selfish, too. Sneering is always optional…

    Edit : I should add that it doesn’t have to be used with a posh accent, it’s short enough to be thrown with a bit of venom. I used it in a C u next Tuesday moment but I reckon the guy was too young for the word to make any sense and he merely frowned.

    The ****!

    Time limit as in how long ago or when you can no longer claim?

    If the former I’ve read cases of folk claiming successfully as far back as mid nineties. If the latter, I believe you have until March 2018, so get a wriggle on if you haven’t set the ball rolling.

    Not 100% but I’m sure that I once witnessed a hapless guinea pig in the clutches of a red kite. I always imagined the scene of the little kid playing with their pet, getting distracted by something and turn to find it gone and the poor old g-pig thinking life was once so much better…

    Anyway, the schizo-sounding reptile, for sure. I reckon he’d have some stories to tell, too, what with being immortal. He’s gotta be well travelled.

    makecoldplayhistory » I’d often wondered. Both about the not washing as much as the price in the first place.

    Isn’t there a similar theory about armpits?

    My cousin owns a company making expensive jeans. Offered me a pair at cost price. £130!!!

    I skim read this post and come away with the impression that armpits could be had for £130 a pair.

    Bargain…!

    Isn’t there a certain arrogance to think that there isn’t life on a par with earth, or to expect that we could understand another lfe, which might be far more sophisticated than ours?

    This is similar to the way I like to think about life – many different forms, some of which we could easily overlook as being lifeless or not even register as existing. Some of the SF has explored these weirder forms – existing on a purely mental level, as an example. Or gaseous or intelligent electromagnetic photon based beings from some slightly off-kilter phase shifted plane of existence.

    Yeah, that’s right – it’s Monday morning and I’ve already blazed one…

    three small sticks (of equal length) and 4cc of mouse blood.

    Is that some sort of hairdressing technique with some weirdly-named new “product” from Garnier or somesuch.

    It’s great when you find someone that you trust and have a good rapport with, isn’t it?

    It is and I believe the only way progress is made with some stuff.

    TBH, I just read back what I wrote up there and it reads a bit me me me, which wasn’t what I logged on to write but I now can’t remember what that was. So, lesson there is don’t attempt to express yourself at stupid o’ clock.

    I contemplated asking the mods to delete it but that would be weirder than what I wrote.

    I hope you get less blue as time goes on, Vickypea…

    As 12 seems to be the limit except in exceptional circumstances, I just prioritised what I wanted to address and tried to be as positive as I could about the last session.

    I remember my last session as having a similar feel to that last day at school before the xmas break; the day when everyone was allowed to wear whatever they wanted and very little, if any, classwork was done. Very casual and very end like and strangely liberating as it was very obvious both he and I could see the difference in my whole being.

    However, compare that with the previous ending (which felt quite rushed and incomplete) and in a similar way to you I managed to unravel a particularly deep-seated problem in the penultimate sesh that left me quite shocked. The therapist was a little concerned, if all be told, and suggested I be around other people for the following week. It was bad timing but something very significant in helping me sort things.

    I was worried I was suffering some sort of dependency issue when I felt lost but it turned out I had triggered something that needed sorting and in a therapeutic environment as opposed to one’s own headspace, which can sometimes have limitations with certain ‘issues’ IMO.

    Obviously give the light thing a bash – most of the advice on this thread has merit. But as Jambalaya suggests, it has to be worth a trying to get a few extra sessions with the guy, though I’m unsure whether or not they’re allowed to offer their services outside of the agency. You might get lucky as I did.

    Not exactly the thread you thought this was going to be, eh, P-Ness…

    🙂

    P.S. I was going to troll you and claim I was the driver you grassed but thought better of it when considering how many times folk get accused of using the Edinburgh Defence when, in reality, they were genuinely having a laugh.

    Maybe next time…

    The counselling was time-limited because of budget and came to an end a month ago. Felt fine at the last session, but unexpectedly dropped into a feeling of desolation since. I’ve tried very hard to pull myself up. I feel like the door’s been locked and bolted behind me, and I’m feeling under huge pressure to stay well.

    I think this could be quite relevant to how you feel. Obviously without disclosing anything too personal, do you feel you’ve achieved what you wanted from the therapy?

    Also, was the last session finished in an appropriate way?

    Do you feel as if you have more stuff to explore?

    I felt a little lost when my therapy ended and almost a month later became quite suicidal. I was lucky enough to have some further sessions with the same counseller who himself felt our time together had ended a little abruptly and was eager to get me another 12 sessions. I think without that extra time I wouldn’t have made a much progress as I did. Which is saying a lot cos I’m still quite messed up… 🙂

    Edit : Obviously, if you feel fine about the therapy finishing, ignore all the above.
