I know exactly what you mean!!

The ironic thing is that when we were teenagers we (stupidly) thought it the worst time of our lives. Parents who "didn't understand man!!" girlfriends/boyfriends dumping us which at the time felt like the end of the world. Having to go to school and study for exams (the horror of it!!).

Sigh....if only we'd known what lay ahead of us 15 or 20 years down the time when we would have REAL responsibilities and pressures.

I wish I was 21 again. That time for me (mid-late '90s) were the best years of my life and although every adult says the decade during they were that age was the best one (whether it be the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s or even the 00s). I genuinely believe though that that time (90s) was an amazing time to be a young adult.

The rave scene had well and truly taken off by then and nightclubbing around my way (Newcastle area) was unbelievable..In fact it was voted one of the top 10 party spots in the world during the 90s. Although I worked on the doors during this period and in those days before the introduction of SIA badges and doormen with serious criminal records being refused licences, some of the doors in the Newcastle area (particularly in the West end) where like the fucking wild west!!

Still the happiest time of my life though

URgh.... booze Time to go to the tip as well. Then shelves to go up..

I'm made up about today..

 

[BigG]

I'm made up about today..

Why? what's happened mate? Are you and the missus back permanently now? That would be so fucking amazing

 

[ScotchMist]

No mate, it's looking more and more likely but we're a way off that yet. We're working on it..

Was more of a sarcastic "made up about today"..

 

[Sadie]

Well 74 the best years of my life are yet to come.... Those were fun, my teenage years but wow I have so much more to look forward to!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BigG]

No mate, it's looking more and more likely but we're a way off that yet. We're working on it..

Was more of a sarcastic "made up about today"..

Ahh right sorry.

I don't seem to be too good at sarcasm recently! hahha!!

Still I'm made up for you that it's looking likely that you two will patch things up properly. If she was waiting to see if you had turned the corner yet then you've decisively proven to her that you indeed have!!

Your doing so well mate, I'm so proud of you and so pleased that you are getting your family back. Unfortunately I'll never get my family back as my mum is dead and father and sister are around somewhere but there's never been any attempt at contact. Even last year when I had cancer and was going in for an operation that would either clear the tumor (which was wrapped partially over mine spinal cord) and see me OK...or kill me.

I wrote my dad a letter pretty much explaining what's happening on the cancer front and that if it went badly I would die and he wouldn't see me ever again and he didn't even reply. That made me sadder than I've ever felt in my life (my sister) didn't answer her letter either and when I want in for the op I was 100% on my own and more scared than I've ever been in my life...So basically I know loneliness and emotional pain

I guess what I'm trying to say mate is that I'm so made up for you. Just knowing that someone out there loves you and is wants you must be the best feeling in the world. I so hope that it's permanent and you have many, many years of good health and happiness together with the missus and the kids.

You're doing fantastic job by the way in keeping yourself clean. I guess when there's such a big incentive to keep yourself clean that helps a lot.

Well sorry for my WD induced ramble but just wanted you to know how well you're doing and how pleased we are that things are going well for you. Keep it up Scotchy you're doing amazing and I'm so proud of you mate.

 

[ScotchMist]

It's to early for even me to say I've turned a corner yet, I keep on peering back around..

We've come some way from screaming and shouting at each other so i am hopeful.

Ta for the kind words

Sorry to hear of your loneliness mate, that awful you've gone through such a thing on your own, you're either a right cunt ( which I don't think for a minute you are ) or just unlucky. I'm sure you're owed some good luck, in abundance by the sounds of it.. Shows a strength in character though so be proud of that.

chin up, I'll do the same.

That is heartbreaking just to read never mind to actually experience it. That is awful and one of the saddest stories i've read,must have been absolutely awful feeling so scared andd having no one there to comfort,support you and tell you everything is gonna be alright. Your family seem to be the total opposite of yourself as you are a caring bloke who works in a profession looking after others and reassuring & comforting them and yet in your time of need there was nobody to do the same for you. I'd give you a hug mate if i can get my arms around you that is.

 

[kingme]

Howdy.
36 hours or so until work. Fuck8ng depressing. Even more so since its work and not a proper job.
Fight with family over current gf/fiance situation.
Awesome Saturday so far.

 

[maxalfie]

Families can be a real headfuck at times can't they. Thankfully i made a wise decision to live several hours away from all of my family and this way i get to avoid all the family bullshit arguments, don't have to listen to mum & youngest sister complaining that they think my other sister is drinking too much. Yeah, she likes a drink,so fucking what? The way they go on about it is as if she is drinking a bottle of vodka a day. Distance for me is the best way to maintain a relationship with the family and then when we do see each other everyone is on their best behaviour

I don't, the era I've grown up in is fucking gash.

 

[kingme]

@max yeah but on some level I always he that it is with them that i should feel closest and they are the ones who would be most supportive and understanding. That has yet to be the case. I mean i speak 1 thing with my mom and literally 5mins later i find it completely overturned when talking in the presence of my sis? Wtf?
also apparently they don't approve of my gf. For fuck sake it's been 6 months since i asked her to marry me and been together for 4 and a half years....

 

[maxalfie]

Yeah Kingme it is a shame that we do not always get the support that we would expect from our families. Families are complicated little groups with all the internal politics of who has done what, who said this,who did that?
I cant understand why they should have a problem with you wishing to get married to your girlfriend. You've been with her for 4.5 years already so it's hardly a rash decision that you are making. It is your life Kingme and you have to decide how you wish to live it and not be dictated to by others

 

[kingme]

I understand that but still would greatly like to have them on my side. ...
it's not only that but it is moments like these that makeme doubt the things they say on a daily basis. Its like they pretend every day for months and then wham its all been a sham! Ha!

Fuck it. Time for a drink or two

 

[maxalfie]

i don't blame you Kingme, have a couple of drinks and worry about it all another day.

 

[kingme]

Well thanks for your support max, means a lot really.
sometimes I think I should see psychologist or something. ... might make a bit more sense of things really...
wish i knew if i was right or others have a fair point.

All you can drink for a 10a at the boat on a Thursday ha, not exactly a rave but some interesting nights

I don't know if you know South Shields mate but that's where I live. It's a small town jammed in the corner between the North Sea and the South Side of the Tyne.

Anyway way for such a small place it had an amazing nightlife in the 90s with about 6 nightclubs and over 40 pubs/bars in the town centre alone. During (I think) about '94 or '95 two of the more popular nightclubs (Victors and De Neros) had a price war. Started at a quid a drink, then 50p, the TEN PENCE a drink (4 quid admission still) then to top it off Victors settled on a fiver admission and all you could drink FREE all night. I was a bouncer there at the time and it was just mayhem.....I mean total chaos. This lasted all of about 2 weeks before they were forced by the police to abandon this drinks pricing (or the lack of any price ) as there was so much fighting both inside and outside the club...........ahh happy days (not the fighting I mean, just the period in general)
