Gibberings - CXXVIV: Rest Easy, Fallen EADDers.

[maxalfie]

I share your pain Ben.

It's soul destroying having no purpose. No money.
Nothing to do.

If I can't find work soon I'll self destruct.
Anyway I'm off out. Laters.

Oh Cornish mate, you sound really low.
I lost my job last year and I've worked since I was 16 and am 42 now.
It was a real shock to the system suddenly having no pattern to my days & weeks.
I did get depressed also and felt like I had no purpose without a job.
Don't judge yr self worth on whether you have a job or not. Use your days to do job searches and you can use the rest of your spare time to watch films or read books you've always wanted to read.
See if you can find a subject you are interested in and educate yourself on it.
For example I'm interested in the second World War so I get books out form our library and educate myself about all that happened in the war.
Summer time is great for volunteering to get outside with other folk like yourself and help tidy up the environment, cut grass, trim hedges etc.
Hope you cheer up mate.

Here here Max. Cornishman is a great laugh and a fine fellow to have a natter to.

Sorry you feel so down Cornishman, hope you get that job you so obviously deserve mate.

Fucking hell MM, my little girl asked me the other day why she didn't have an iPad. Because Daddies skint darling. Was it an expensive one?

£69 off of ebay, 9inch android, its fucking ace, no good for me, but for kids, ace. He wants a DS for his birthday (He'd really like an iPad cos one of his grandparents has one, but he knows they're too expensive), so we're hoping he'll shit pink when he gets this, I've already installed about 50 games, a load of apps etc on it for him....

No bluetooth and no gps in it. But at £69 its fine if he breaks the fucker really too.

 

[Ben So Furry]

Sweet we are avoiding electronic gadgets at the moment as she's only five. But she has become exposed to them and peer pressure in the playground. I can't fucking believe a five year old needs an actual iPad. Crazy shit. Sign of the times though. We are in serious debate about what age she gets a mobile phone at the moment. Any input MM? Has you little man got a phone? I bet she will only accept one with a piece of fruit on it.

 

[Bluebell]

Long time no see BB. How you doing? Get your keyboard out and come have a natter. Been far too long. :D
ne?

Will be back with my keyboard. Bit fuddled at the mo:D

 

[Ben So Furry]

In a good way I hope BB. Yes please come back. :D

No, it's his 7th birthday coming up....but we not planning on getting him a phone yet.

We probably will next year, when he'll be old enough to go to the park, or down the river or wherever with his mates, but try and keep it just for him to use when he's on his own...dunno how long that will last.

Peer pressure in the playground? At 5? To get an iPad? Thats shit.

I know it's insane. I couldn't believe it. But she out and asked me why she hasn't got one when so and so already has two or whatever. Unless they were bullshitting her of course.

The phone thing is a biggy though isn't it? I worry it gives them something to be mugged for. Agreed about when they start going out though. Good point. We initially thought about 10 - 12 but they grow up so fast and things change with kids so often.

No, my son's getting an old 8210, I got a few, love 'em.

no fuckers gona mug him for that. No fucker has ever been mugged for anything in the 10 years i've lived here anyway.

 

[Ben So Furry]

Snake

Yeah good idea that. Able to contact you in emergencies but not walking around with £400 of tech wizardry in their pocket.

 

[Mailmonkey]

I'm fucking shithot at snake, been playing it for 15 years.

Best thing about not living in some big shit hole city.

 

[Ben So Furry]

Yeah I live in a remote village. Still happens though. Thing I hate about round here is racism. Closed off commuinity. Really freindly bunch everyone looks out for one another and talks in the street. When an Asian family set up a pizza shop we went in to get something and they told us about the abuse they were getting. Made us ashamed. A few weeks later they closed as they had their shop front smashed in and were drove out. Fucking nice food as well. Gave a free lot one time because we were practically their only customers.

I used to live in a very mixed community. No-one looked out for each other and no one spoke to each other but were more tolerant of other cultures and folk. Noisy inner city though. I don't miss the noise at all. Couldn't go back now.

 

[maxalfie]

That's fucking terrible the way they got treated by some idiots Ben.
I live in a market town in Cambs which is mostly white but we do have some black and asian people here and they get treated the same as everyone else afaik.
Most of our trouble comes from people fighting with the Polish around here as we have loads here. Majority of them are fine, the ones I worked with were pretty good folk and their woman were attractive.
There is a bad bunch of them though that hang around a shopping square drinking all day and shouting abuse at women bringing their kids home from school and they have been in local paper a few times for beating folk up and robbing them.
Good and bad in every race though I guess.

 

[parttime crackhead]

I posted this yesterday but i think it got lost in the ether

Absolutely awesome :D

That's incredible!

Losing my mind to that Amon Tobin tune. Cheers.

His live show is off the scale. One of the few things I managed to catch at Bloc last year.


Had to stop myself adding more money to my William Hill account there. Betting on horses with silly names for the Grand National the mora. I know none of the fuckers will win but if at least one of mine gets turned to glue then I'll be happy enough.

Going for an all day shot in the pub to watch it, then a La Fontaines gig at night. A rap/rock band from Motherwell haha. Sounds like they should be awful but they're actually amazing live (you wouldn't catch me listening to their tunes otherwise in the house though). Totally packed out a stage at TITP the other year, hundreds of folk outside the tent unable to get in & shit. I didn't see them though as my mate's band were on at the same time & they'd got us in for free so would have been a bit shady not going to see them (a few folk didn't have my high morals though & sacked it for someone better haha).

Cheers max. Yeah it's nice in the summer.
Namely for the beach. I can live on the beach for a pittance and be the happiest mofo around with my frisbee and bbq.

But things are getting on top. I got debts that need addressing. RL people hassling for $$$, family nagging. I can't even afford to get high anymore.

It's just shit. Plain and simple.

Here here Max. Cornishman is a great laugh and a fine fellow to have a natter to.

Sorry you feel so down Cornishman, hope you get that job you so obviously deserve mate.

Thanks Ben.
If I get a job this time around I'm gonna steer clear from destructive influences and build up a life I can enjoy.
Or at least try a damn sight harder than before.

Gotta get as much $$$$ as possible. It's the only way to live.

Feel like I'm turning into my dad. 8(

Ahh I haven't even had a beer with my good mates for about 2 years now. Think that's what's needed to sort me out.

Hope everyone's doing fine on this Friday nightage.

 

[Mailmonkey]

We should ACTUALLY MEET UP for a few beers this summer Cornishman, we keep threatening it.

A mate of mine has just moved out of his static caravan, and he's said we can use itf or a week in the summer< very close to you, I think, we should just fucking do it..



I was playing frisbee today down the allotment, lovely day, lovely weather, son and his mate shit at frisbee though, have to stand about 4ft away from each other...

 

[lurching]

i shit at frisbee once. rather, ON a frisbee (so i could toss my "broken arrow" out) true storyu
