Whatever makes you sad..

What makes me sad?

Not going to Southend next Friday. Priced it up, intended to go with the Wife, maybe stay over on the Saturday, just can't do it. Train costs, Hotel, etc. Moved house end of last year, and find myself spending massive money on work that needs doing, decorating, etc.  Not happy

Such a shame when you can't make it an NMA gig... 

But, on the other hand, you were spared going to 'Sarfend'... I used to date a girl who was from Essex, we went there a few times... not somewhere I'm keen to revisit...

I'm sure you're right M/Ray, but I would liked to have found out for myself. Even practiced some lingo,

"core blimey, ya carrnt find a decent cap of tea ere in saaafend"

Train fairs were the biggest killer of it. Plus it was three trains Notts to Southend.

What would cure it, if the band picked me up in their lovely silver tour buss on their way down South

You would have also heard 'You navaaarn CAAANT!'  Seriously, I didn't think there was such a thing as the north / south divide until I spent time in Essex...

But I'm not from the North, I'm from the Midlands.

Apologies I didn't post earlier.....lots of work on I'm glad to say! 

Anna, thanks for agreeing with me. I saw your video and I suspect that you have indeed experienced a lot of negative shit that I won't have. I always think we either bow to (some) others need to feel better about themselves (because that is really what it is about), or say "**** em" it's my life I'm going to live it! And we are obviously gonna live it!!!!!!

Amandistan, you wrote that you are pretty shy. Yep I know somewhat of where you are coming from, I used to be when I was a kid. But I forced myself through teens and early twenties to be verbal. Now you can't shut me up.....ahem!  You are clearly an intelligent, interesting person. All I worried about is your seemingly liking to be negative, which I suspect isn't really you. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "Do one thing everyday that scares you." That is a quote I've taken to heart over the years. And while I don't think you should strip naked and run down the high street today, its something to think about. For some people, speaking up and out is scary, but y'know it's good to do it!

Anyway.....apologies for the cod philosophy. Can I say, these conversations are making this board interesting again!!!! Early days there were lots of political/philosophical discussions.

...I'm off to do something scary now. 

I am trying to be more positive. Re-reading that actually seems a bit negative now but I guess i was not having a good week. 

I love having a good political/philosophical discussion. They can educate you and see someone else's perspective.  Eleanor Roosevelt really did speak some very wise words.

Orange walks and for that matter Hibernian walks especially when they walk by my house when the football is on.Seriously though they cause traffic jams cost money to police and cause trouble Come on guys on both sides 1690 and all that was a long long time ago time to give a rest both sides

But I'm not from the North, I'm from the Midlands. 

You should know by now to the south we're Northern and to the North we're Southerners lol.

Whats making me sad is that I had three days in Spain recently. First "break" in two years and probably last for another two. Gutted.

I hear what you are saying kid. Only  people from the midlands acknowledge its existence. The first time I  met Stoney, he had the nerve to call me a Southerner 
To all those who say clarse instead of class, I am a Northerner.

Oh well, all good.

Ah! the mating call of the lesser brained estuary English great tit............... quite a prolific breed round here............

Works both ways tho', if I dare to cross the border it's "yer fookinn shandy drinking southern shyster fook off!"

so one of my Da's best friends goes and pops his clogs over night. i spent most of my youth having to work with him in different places. stayed out of the system until he was in his seventies when they gave him the pension. and he knew exactly what pricks were running the system too. he was 84 years old. people thought he was knarky but he was just calling it like it is and most people can't handle the truth.

i'll miss ya Murph. one of a kind.

our type of bloke ray

[Shush]

Not Rolf Harris as well. Were there any decent blokes I watched on telly as a kid in the 70s. Can't help feeling let down. 

[Pol]

Totally agree on the Rolf subject Gawd we used to sing a few of his on the supporter bus on the way to the football He was seen as a adopted brit with painting the queen and animal hospital.He was loved by students and we even forgave him for stairway to heaven.
We all watched totp and jim 'll fix it and everyone at least thought about writing in. Most of us also watched and enjoyed its a knockout.
I'm even sicked to say i enjoyed a couple of tracks of the 1st lost prophets lp
Turns out that there all a bunch of sick disgusting kiddy fiddlers at least am only left extremely disappointed and saddened unlike their victims who's lives have been destroyed
