You definitely have the brains, Omar, and very likely the options too - though I know how difficult they can be to make out at times. You're also witty, kind and more of a gentleman than many a man, so are more than deserving of them.

Hope stuff seems brighter for you soon (and that this didn't make you sick up in your mouth too much).

Just seen that Green day are playing Hyde park next July, what I would give to be able to go there!
More chance of winning the lottery I think and I never play

I think we all get that at some point, normal people just have no idea.
A guy i worked with once told me all I need is to get some self confidence, like it was something I could just pop in to Tesco and get a jar of!

I find myself doing the comparison thing between me and my cousins, most of them are with someone or married and have kids and a house, I still have shit all, it does hurt me but I realize that it isn't a good way of thinking.

You brighten up my day with your witty posts on here and with your empathy.

You're a good guy Omar I hope you can see that, it may be that there's a shit load of work to do but you are capable and it will be worth it, you're not ****ed!

Take care Omar
I hope some of that made sense.

I was at home this week rather than at my dads where I am now but I got a knock on the door on Tuesday afternoon from a detective saying there had been an incident the night before and had I heard anything. Just sitting reading the local paper now and a local woman in her 30's was raped by 2 men (strangers) by the stream which is behind the crescent I live on. I'm quite shocked tbh. I live in a village, nothing major happens here. Slightly worrying too who's wandering about right on your doorstep. I don't walk that late at night but even so, makes you think.

Jam · #**10747** 6th October 2016, 19:18

I asked my daughter who she loves more, mummy or daddy. Her answer? 'Orange juice'.

Jam · #**10748** 6th October 2016, 19:25

^ if I had asked her that and she did pick me, I'd honestly be disappointed in her judgment.

Don't bother with gigs at Hyde Park. It's not loud enough, it finishes early in order to keep the residents of Mayfair happy and if it's part of BST you have to pay extra to stand near the stage. An normal area show or a festival like Reading would be much better.

It's a shame that the only and only time I've seen Black Sabbath was there.

Professor Willow · #**10751** 6th October 2016, 20:15

^ Yeah it is part of BST I think, don't worry there's little danger of me going there or any other gig unless I suddenly grow a pair of balls.

newbs16 · #**10752** 6th October 2016, 21:46

Sometimes wish I could be more normal.

@ Appear & D1662
Despair seems to be my default mode these days; I try not to let it bleed out onto here, but sometimes I can’t help myself.
It's mostly economic woes, yo!

Thanks though, you guys. It means a lot. Sense was made, and the levels of sick in my mouth were just about manageable.

Professor Willow · #**10754** 7th October 2016, 00:30

^ Hope things get better soon Omar

Thinking I should be asleep, have stressful day ahead tomorrow.

Also thinking how crap the new Red Dwarf is.

hope they get the b*****ds. It's certainly gonna make me more vigilant after dark and walk the road way rather than the stream/footpath.

Schmosby · #**10756** 7th October 2016, 07:00

Wondering why i keep typing thnaks instead of thanks, like 100% of the time. Wouldn't be much of an issue if i didn't end so many of my emails with 'many thnaks'.

newbs16 · #**10757** 7th October 2016, 08:16

Hoping that my stomach behaves today, i should be okay if I stay occupied.

Olly. · #**10758** 7th October 2016, 10:49

Gloomy, overcast morning, so perfect time to try out my new daylight bulb, and after 45 minutes, I've got to say, I feel kind of good and energised. Maybe it's a placebo effect, I don't know, but I do feel better than I usually would on a gloomy morning, so that's promising

Appear · #**10759** 7th October 2016, 11:25

^ Ooh, sounds promising, Ollster. I've been tempted by those in the past but never did bother giving one a try. I think my mum's got one knocking around somewhere that I might be able to steal though.

I'm thinking that there's no way it's thirteen degrees outside. More like minus seven.

Olly. · #**10760** 7th October 2016, 12:28

^^ Yes, go for it, it's definitely worth a try, I think I'll be using it a lot in the next 6 months, I have the bulb just in a lamp that I move around and position it a few feet to the side of me as and when

Merritt · #**10761** 7th October 2016, 13:25

I tell myself every year to get one of those light boxes or bulbs or whatever but always forget and spend Winter with the sads. Are they as simple as just screwing into a lamp?

I got a letter this morning sent to the wrong address. How can I get it to the right one? Can I just write on the envelope pointing out where it needs to go and put it in the postbox, or do I need to go into the post office?

Olly. · #**10762** 7th October 2016, 13:44

^ The Daylight bulbs are as simple as that, yep

Appear · #**10763** 7th October 2016, 13:57

I think the one my mum has is a sort of panelly plug-in jobby (obviously the technical term). I do like the idea of an actual bulb though.

Merritt · #**10764** 7th October 2016, 14:23

Will definitely have to get one then

Do you have to have the bulb properly beaming its light at you, or does it work ambiently through a lampshade?

^ I'm not sure really, I guess it's probably better to have the bulb fully beaming its light at you and I don't have a lampshade on it, although I'm not sure tbh.

And I'm only going to hear that whenever I listen to that song now

Fantastical · #**10766** 7th October 2016, 15:05

I have a broken wrist. ****. And apparently very little chance of ever getting the range of movement back and pretty much guaranteed arthitis in it within ten years. ****. :'(

Olly. · #**10767** 7th October 2016, 15:27

^

Sorry to hear that

Fantastical · #**10768** 7th October 2016, 15:30

They can operate on it which may improve range of movement. Don't know how to cope with this.

Fantastical · #**10769** 7th October 2016, 15:42

This is really not my week.

Fantastical · #**10770** 7th October 2016, 15:53

Lots of stuff online about how this type of fracture is very easy to miss on x rays and that prompt treatment is vital for it to heal properly. Can be commonly misdiagnosed as a sprain and if let untreated has bad consequences. Which is exactly what has happened to me. Wish the bloody hospital had looked at in properly in February.
