Wahoo :) good luck with that mate.

On a positive note, I've got less than 4 weeks for my normandy trip and 6 weeks to my sprint forums weekend, so plenty to look forward to :)

Blimey guys, the thread title isn't "I'm going to top myself" lol, just asking for reasons to be cheerful. And Bibster, glad you're in a good position. My office has no windows, the water bill at home has gone up again, I owe a shedload of cash to my mortgage lender and despite interest rates being at 0.5% since late 2008; because I'm a first time buyer I'm locked in at 6.6% til late next year. Maybe that's why everyone else seems to have so much more money than me at the minute.

Oh and my bikes engine blew up. Not upset about the material stuff, just the invisible stuff which the media & the government perpetuate.

Decided to stick it to the man. I've just ordered TiVo from virgin media & it's coming on wednesday - in time for start of BSB. F*** you David Cameron.

Reasons to be cheerful?

Some of Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good Golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley, add nanny goats

Eighteen-wheeler Scammels, Domineker camels
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly and porridge oats

A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it, yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on forty, no electric shocks

The juice of the carrot, the smile of a parrot
A little drop of claret - anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, the days when I ain't spotty,
Sitting on the potty, curing smallpox

My mothers water rates has gone up to over 800 quid for the year!
I feel sorry for you with that amount of shafting over your mortgage :eek:
Bike....yeah I have a tank with the pox on it in the boot of the car, and another sat in a box to replace it in the living room......frickin hate spending on replacements when I ain't got the brass, but feck it, its only frinkin money!!

That island in the Med calls more every day...............only thing that puts me off is its 20 odd miles away from Syria. I'd far rather be poor in a sunny and pretty country, than be poor in this miserable, wet sh11ty country!

What did the gaffer say?.

Re: Is there anything at all to be cheerful about?

Financially, I am screwed. I have a job that is hard work, but does not pay what I am worth and every year that passes I see our freedom and liberty being slowly chipped away, all in the name of our safety. The people I love are dying, I am disowned by half of my family for being me and my Mother does not approve of my Girlfriend. When I go back to work next week, I know that I do not have another Holiday until August.

Yet how do I maintain this numb smile?

Simple... Fluoxetine. Nothing matters anymore when you have large doses of Fluoxetine every day of your life. Citalipram is also good for blocking out the horrors of modern life.

When Depression is so prevalent you have to start asking what is wrong with society that it makes every one so unhappy?

Just remember what Orwell wrote in the classic Futurist novel 1984.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face, forever.

So sit back and relax with this. (Warning: it has one slightly rude word at the end. However with in the confines of the video, it is both relevant and necessary as valid artistic statement.)

Re: Is there anything at all to be cheerful about?

I got a free Aero mint bar on the way to work this morning.

I'm missing Download for AR but Soundgarden decided to play Hyde Park as well to keep me happy and I got tickets today.

Chris Cornell in a tight vest - that's what life is all about.

And Jambo has just had a baby and every time I see the pics on Facebook they make me smile.

(And I tried Fluoxetine but it makes me dribble so I stopped taking it).
