Whatever makes you sad..

[Shush]

Genuinely shocked to just hear Ryk Mayall has died at just 56 years of age.
Very sad news.
One of the greatest comedy talents. One of the main players of 1980s alternative comedy.

The Youngs
Bottom
Alan B"Stard,
Drop dead Fred
Couple of very memorable appearances on Black Adder
etc,, etc.

R.I.P. Ryk

Yes RIP Rick you will be sadly missed.
  The Young Ones and Bottom were two of the best of the best shows ever.
The Sprite world will be a happier place.

You know you're getting old when your childhood heroes are dying...

Alright M/Ray. When you did not pass comment at the time, I suspected there must be a - "no internet" reason.

Very sad. Unique character. Have to say, I also find it frightening when your heroes die so young 

[Master Ray]

Yeah, I was gutted.  To change the script of YOUNG ONES a bit... ok, quite a bit...

This house will become a shrine, and punks and skins and middle-aged comedy fans will all gather round and hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader, who they loved watching on VHS back in the day. And all the grown-ups will say, "But why are they crying" And the people with true comedic taste will say, "Haven't you heard? Rik is dead! The man who gave us Rik and Alan B'Stard and Fred is dead!' And then one particularly sensitive and articulate fan will say, "Other fans, do you understand nothing? How can Rick be dead when we still have his brilliant TV shows?" And then someone else will say... [BIG FART]

 

[Amandistan]

loneliness and constant rejection.

[Anna Woman von NRW]

loneliness and constant rejection.

With you on that one

I'm hearing it too.

I've just been shat on from a huge height as regarding my position in school next year.

 

[lostockboy]

Having my contracted 45 hours at work being reduced to 40 hours, with those 5 hours I'm losing at time and a half which makes a big difference to my wages.  Initially they cut the over time which is fair enough but when this was announced all at work were in shock as most of us have mortgages and families.  Apparently the guy at the top is on £850,000 a year but the cuts don't go that high and he's the one responsible for the problems within the company.  I'd love to name the company but that could get me in trouble as freedom of speech can be a crime.  The company will still make profits that run into millions but that's not enough for them.  I love attending gigs but that might have to stop if I can't find an answer to my financial problems.  I know there are people who are a lot worse off than me and I'll never suffer like they have, but at the moment I'm feeling very sad and depressed

Beaucoup bad shit, mate, been in a similar position quite a few times in previous jobs... the fuckers at the top will NEVER feel the effects if cuts 'have' to be made.  They'll just buy a flash new car and patronise those, ahem, 'beneath' them.

Hope things get better for you.

If you feel like that people, have you ever felt like starting your own little operation up?

You can get started on an idea, you can make it web based if you aren't confident of people meeting. I cant answer for other countries but in this one you can incorporate your little company and get a website up for less than £40. As you are a small business you don't have to pay an accountant to do your accounts (which will be exempt) or annual return, you go on companies house and do them yourself.

Clearly people are clever on here, hell Ive been on here since 2003 so I think I can speak, but I read a lot of people feeling lost and helpless. So I'm just proffering an idea to you. 

I started my own engineering business up in the mid 90s and never looked back. I don't ever have to work for an asshole (though that probably put me in the asshole chair). 

All I know is there is always a way to move forward, it may not be pretty or what you ultimately want to do but rather that than feeling bad? As Churchill said; If you're going through hell, keep going!!!!!

Nice ******* post dude - sincerely, quick curtsey and kiss for ya' 

See? That's positive thinking for ya'! (see that thread)

There's all this stuff we all chuck up here on this board and sometimes it makes me laugh, say WTF?, get the hump, empathise, give me food for thought, educate me,make me sad or have a little giggle but generally there's some good shit we all come with. What if there was a way to turn than into something else? Don't have to be a money thing, to me that conjured up the idea of some sort of video message board/channel type thing but that's just me. I've probably got the wrong end of the stick entirely but if 100 people get the wrong end of the stick with their ideas then probably a bit like the monkeys typing the works of Shakespeare, then the 101 stick would be the right end of the stick?

Who know's but what a nice idea to play with.

Welcome back Idopas - it's been a while.

[Rusco]

Good ideas there. It's true that working with assholes will end when you're your own boss.

Often the good and working ideas are the ones that are plain simple. So many seem to wait for an unexpected opportunity like if there would be something 'you' just haven't realized yet. But it's probably much more easier to start with and introduce or display people something they could recognize; something they're familiar with already. Food, products, tools, clothes, repairs, renovations and other services.
