Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
^ Oh, I'm really glad it wasn't damaged then! I was worried, it's an important work of art. If they knew it was covered with glass then it makes me feel a bit better towards the protestors because they obviously knew they weren't going to damage anything, they just wanted to cause a spectacle.

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
well it's all about attention. It's like that woman who put shit all over Captain Tom's memorial. All the people get outraged but it hasn't really done anything.

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
^^ there's a lot to protest about right now! There probably always will be.
I think this is a misguided attempt to raise awareness about continued fossil fuel use and its contribution to climate change. I say misguided because of course the message will get lost in the noise about the way it was expressed. I don't know if the protesters were really sure what their message was themselves. I think if there's any mental illness here, it's that the world is collectively mentally ill. These young people are angry and feel powerless, but they don't really have an answer. Nobody does. The people they are railing against don't really have any power either. They can only act within already defined parameters. What can you do? Scream, throw a tantrum, chuck a tin of soup against a glass pane in front of a painting? Why not. None of it makes any difference.

I really envy children, they view life and the future with such innocent optimism.
Impatient to be adults, if only they knew the shit and misery that lies ahead.

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
Preach Professor Willow!
I sort of view it all like being on a bus Where you start off at the back of the bus and you feel confident that someone is driving the bus Then as you reach your 20's, you start to question if anyone is really driving the bus. You even find yourself looking down the aisle of the bus. Where you are hoping to see a glimpse of that elusive bus driver. But alas, no driver can be seen. Although you can see another passenger that is further down the aisle than you. Who seems to be giving you a reassuring thumbs up. Which then makes you think that someone is driving the bus after all Then as you reach your 40's, you finally have a good view of the front of the bus. Only to realise that no one is driving the bus!!! But at the same time, you don't want to alarm the other passengers that are behind you that no one is driving the bus!!! Which is when you find yourself turning around and giving everyone a reassuring thumbs up. While also thinking to yourself, no one is driving the bus!!!!! OMG!!!! No one is driving the (expletive) bus!!! Argh!!!!!!!!!!!! Or something like that

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
^^ I'm guessing that the passengers who have reached their 50's are lying bloodied and irretrievably broken on the tarmac among the tangled remains of the smouldering bus. Hmm, that could explain an awful lot

Those are good questions, Mike. Although I'm guessing you are under 40? In which case, everything is fine up here. Plenty of legroom is what I'm trying to convey! Enjoy the journey!

Consolida! How lovely to hear from you! Is it my imagination or have you gotten more wonderful since the last time we chatted on here? And my answer to that is: That's also a great analogy about reaching your 50's. Between me and you, I don't know where the time has gone. One minute I was roaring like a lion. With a magnificent mane. Whereas now, I am thankful if I only make 2 trips to the bathroom at night. Although on the plus side, I can still roar like a lion. But that's probably linked to my SA meds. Talking of which, I need to make one of those trips. Minus the roar hopefully And its great to see you on the forum again!

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
How socially isolated I am. I have one friend that I speak to on WhatsApp. But no one to really talk to or bond with. I’m going back to work on Monday, after a three week holiday and am thinking how my lifestyle off a job, which I’m not best suited to and I don’t feel like I bond with most colleagues, and then home where I just eat and go on the internet is not satisfactory enough. The social isolation I suffer from is also partly my fault though I guess.
I have a crush on one security guard at work and she is really nice to me. She is Christian though and shared live prayers to which I checked out but ended up not believing the prayers to which I told her I’m not religious. I’m hoping my honesty didn’t drive her away. I like her but I feel like we can’t really go out because she is noticeably older than me. In Nigeria a few aunts have a girl that I can marry. At first I was against the idea, but I wonder if I should try to get to know the girl they have for me. They posted her picture on WhatsApp.

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
I think it’s Nigerian culture to be honest. I am watching a video of a woman where an arranged marriage worked and she talked about how at first he just looked like a regular guy, not cute or anything. That would upset me a bit if someone said that about me. But then it’s honest I guess.
At the airport in Lagos, Nigeria coming back one of the staff asked if I was scared of one airport security guy to which I said no. The question was really unprofessional and not nice at the time. But then, when I think about it, she was just speaking her mind in a maybe curious, childlike way. It’s much better than if I am to get a dirty look or a signal to calm down, like what would be the usual response in the uk.

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
Doing the weekly food shop this morning.
Last Sunday I was in the supermarket and bumped into my boss. I was extremely embarrassed. He just said hello , I said hi back. Then I hung around the shop for an extra 20 mins hoping that would give him time to leave , as I didn't want to bump into him again especially at the check out. The next day at work, saw him and he said ' get your shopping ok?' which I found extremely annoying. I thought ,yeah I'm quite capable of getting shopping ffs. Think I gave him a puzzled look and said yep. Now I'm worried of it happening again.

No it's not! So why do people treat me like it's my fault?

^^ Aww that's very sweet of you Percy but you deserve a lot better
I just wish that I was like every other woman on the planet and had one or two real life female friends of a similar age that I could talk to and share things with. Facebook seems to be awash with women posting endless photos of themselves 'out with the girls'. I must be so unlikeable as a person
