How's yer bum/blast zone, biscuits?

Nice to see you again

Rocket Spud · #**22712** 18th February 2020, 21:52

Haha, it does sound at times like you have a bit of an issue. My bum is just as rotten - i've started eating much more veg and it's taking it's toll. Thanks for asking

Thanks Jen, sorry to hear you know the feeling also. Yeah I can't really do anything about it but it's just a shame when there is so much history.
Do I just let them be or should I still try checking in on them occasionally?

Jen. · #**22714** 19th February 2020, 15:24

It's probably worth checking in now and then, although I don't think it would be a good idea to make that too often. After things went quiet with mine I sent a happy birthday email to show I was still thinking about her, but didn't get a response. So I'll just leave it now. There's probably no point if you haven't had a response after a few messages have been ignored.

I feel bad (and have felt bad for a while) about falling out of contact with someone just over a year ago. I hate for them to think I lost interest in them, or got better friends or something, because the truth is more that I just stopped knowing how to communicate with people. Thinking about it this is the most isolated I've ever been in my life, the idea of having even a single online friend feels beyond reach, and what's more I don't think I even want to reach for it, I just want to shrink into absolute obscurity. Even posting occasionally on here's beginning to prove too difficult, I can just about post something vaguely into the forum not expecting any replies, but I don't really know how to talk with anyone.

I don't like the way I keep seeing the words "coronavirus" and "Brighton" in close proximity

Mo34 · #**22717** 19th February 2020, 16:58

^ Yeah me either. Or in my case corona virus and Worthing hospital.

Rocket Spud · #**22718** 19th February 2020, 22:05

Knocking the neighbour's door and, the moment there's enough of an opening, punching him, then nipping swiftly back indoors, unseen and unheard.

Mo34 · #**22719** 19th February 2020, 22:22

^ I take it the music hasn't ceased then?

Rocket Spud · #**22720** 19th February 2020, 22:33

I think it's at the level as when i went over yesterday, maybe louder. It's not near excessive but it's just so annoying, that bloody bass. I'm hoping (really really hoping) that one of the other three(?) adjacent neighbours will complain. It's gotta be a right bastard for his downstairs neighbour, i'm sure they must be getting fed up.

Mo34 · #**22721** 19th February 2020, 22:41

^

yeah with a bit a luck someone else will complain, or more than one.
Some ppl are so flipping selfish

Rocket Spud · #**22722** 19th February 2020, 22:59

Hope so.

I'll leave it till the weekend - if i can hold out till then - then punch him

No, i'll pick a moment when i'm 'cool' and go over, tell him again, underline the issue with the bass - surely he can adjust that, then we'll be plain sailing.

It does make me laugh how someone can move into a block of flats, surrounded by neighbouring flats, and feel so relaxed about using their bass-heavy sound system, even after someone's told them to keep it down. Yeah, they might have previously come from a noisy environment where it was the norm, but whatever happened to people getting a sense of a place and fitting in.. ??

Mo34 · #**22723** 19th February 2020, 23:13

Oh I know. I think some folk really don't give a damn though to be honest or it just never occurs to them how annoying/disruptive it is to other ppl.

Rocket Spud · #**22724** 20th February 2020, 00:30

Yeah, who knows what this chump was thinking but he sure is winding up for a knuckle sandwich

How to get an old heavy chest of drawers to the recycling centre without a car. I guess I could put wheels on it and tow it on my bike. I think it's too broken to freecycle, unless someone just wants the wood.

Jen. · #**22726** 20th February 2020, 08:48

My local recycling centre now ONLY allow cars (I know, it makes no sense). Apparently they're always turning people away at the gates after they've walked some distance with a sofa or drawers.

anxiouslondoner · #**22727** 20th February 2020, 09:47

^ luckily this one does accept pedestrians/cyclists, but unluckily it doesn't take wood, so....
guess I'm going to have to break it up into small pieces and bin it. That will be fun.

On a North London train this morning I saw someone with a "I have social anxiety" badge pinned to their hat. Was that one of us..??!!

edbander · #**22729** 20th February 2020, 18:10

They "outted" themselves!

The novelty of not having a dishwasher and having to wash up has definitely worn off.

Jen. · #**22732** 21st February 2020, 10:24

You're welcome to mine if you can come and collect it

You'll just have to take out the light bulbs and tea towels before using it.

newbs16 · #**22733** 21st February 2020, 18:13

Is it to early to put my Pyjama bottoms on?

Consolida · #**22734** 21st February 2020, 18:15

^ It's never too early

newbs16 · #**22735** 21st February 2020, 18:18

^ lol, correct answer I'll put them on now â™¡â™¡

Professor Willow · #**22736** 21st February 2020, 20:38

After 34 years on this planet I have not managed to make a single friend, acquaintances yes but friends none.
It's a very painful realisation.

choirgirl · #**22737** 22nd February 2020, 02:19

I've been living at home so long I feel I've lost my mind.

edbander · #**22738** 23rd February 2020, 17:51

I'm considering a 24 month contract. 24 mths. 2 years. lots can happens in 2 years. hopefully some will. hopefully some won't.

Toxic · #**22739** 23rd February 2020, 20:37

^ Just shave the lot off and carry a bunch of wigs depending on the situation

I work with someone who sulks about her hair, she doesnt like it this way, doesnt like it that way,..cant be arsed to wash it...cant be arsed to do this with it

I constantly tell her, just shave the lot off and get a wig, zero maintenance!

Shes legit not come back to me with 1 good reason not to yet

Merritt · #**22740** 23rd February 2020, 20:44

^^ This is why I approve of society moving into the realm of weird and wonderful haircuts. You can get away with making subtle little changes to your own and it won't attract unwanted attention.

Is it the sort of clip that stops your hair going over your eyes? I like that look.

As for my own, I finally made myself clip it short after about 5 months of letting it be a big silly mess. The week or two of feeling like a baldy bonce until I get used to it is a small price to pay for the zero maintenance.
