Did you start the barbering course? Sorry if you've updated on it and I missed it

[Professor Willow]

I need to get myself back to work.
I haven't worked for 3 weeks now and for a few months before that I was only doing odd days here and there, I haven't managed a full week since the summer.

I know the longer I leave it the harder it will be however I still feel very 'fragile'.

[Rocket Spud]

Bloody xmas. I'm very much looking forward to Boxing day evening when all social commitments are fulfilled, done and dusted, and i'm back home looking forward to some proper time off.

Everything's such a ****ing struggle. Life shouldn't be this way. I long for the day where i'm in a position where i get to choose my struggles. Lol, that ain't happening.

You are good enough

lost an hour reading the express. how embarassing.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

threads are like tweets. And yet noone starts any.

[Dougella]

^ How are they like tweets?

[Ronnie_Pickering]

you're basically posting content which people respond to. And that content could be something on someone's mind, it could be something interesting or a tidbit.

[Dougella]

^ True.

[Jen.]

It'd be an absolute mess if they were like tweets If everyone started a new thread every time they had a thought in the same way they might tweet, you'd have hundreds of new pages to sift through every time you came here.

[Dougella]

^ Now that is also true, if every time a forum member wanted to post a thought or feeling they started a new thread there would be a lot of threads!

[Ronnie_Pickering]

well that's what you call a feed

Yeah social media can be a bit like that.. either too much or too quiet. I was enjoying the discord server (or rather, the Six Million Zimbabwean Dollar Man was ) but found I jumped on after a couple of days and things had already moved on quickly from what I'd seen. Then I felt I should be scrolling back and.. yeah I didn't find that sustainable. Guess it's one of those things you have to work out what works for you. Horses for courses and all that

My sister asked for a clock for Christmas and I just can't stop the intrusive thoughts telling to buy her this one:



What time is it?
Ten past neck wobble.

I can't stand clocks. When I got to her place I always take the batteries out of her clock otherwise I can't sleep

[anxiouslondoner]

^ haha.
You've completely Butchered that clock.
I don't like ticking clocks. I suppose I'd get used to them over time, like I got used to the random street noise of the city.

[biscuits]

^^ :D I keep forgetting or putting off buying her a clock because I feel like I'm buying my own instrument of torture.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

^^ I agree.

My sister is so weird. Christmas is really quite long. 22th, 23rd,24th,25th.26th, 27th, 28th, 29th,30th and she justs to ring my bell tomorrow pop presents in and go. When I'm on my next life I want to be an only child.

[Dougella]

^ Maybe she's not much of a fan of Christmas? Or she has lots of people to pop things over to so she can't spend long with each?!

[Ronnie_Pickering]

I think it's the stress at christmas, people stressing over everything.

[Dougella]

^ Ah, yes people often have a lot of stress and a lot of stuff to do. You could always ask her if she'd like to come in for a cup of tea or a mince pie when she comes over.

[BFG_]

Christmas can hurry up and bugger off. Makes no sense to me and I have no interest in it. Feels like the entire country has been taken over by a cult.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

it does feel like that. Everyone busy, busy, busy. Roads ram-packed. I just walked 5 miles to my local retail estate. Thought it better than an another f-in car on the road.

Ahh, so that's why there are random shopping trolleys left on the pavements, miles away from shops

[Ronnie_Pickering]

funny you say that, I saw this guy wheeling a trolley through a local forest once (to his local supermarket.)

[Mike.Kzov]

^ sounds like you may have encountered Viggo Mortensen trying to survive in a bleak post-apocalyptic America

[genovese]

I thought shopping trolleys automatically turn their brakes on if they leave a certain distance from the store

[anxiouslondoner]

^ Some do. Depends how rampant theft is in the area and if they can be bothered to pay for the fancy ones.
