I know advice doesn't always help, and it's often the last thing you need, so I won't give any. You take care mate. Learn to listen without distortion and learn to look without imagination.

ckn Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 I'm just off to a meeting, the local lot have organised it in the church. I wonder if they'll be saying a prayer for the outcome of this evening's meeting where there's expected to be a lot of shouting and not very nice things said to each other.

I wonder if they'll be saying a prayer for the outcome of this evening's meeting where there's expected to be a lot of shouting and not very nice things said to each other. This evening’s meeting was in a very deprived part of London. I parked in a large multi-storey car park, one that I always use when I’m there. I now get why it’s usually got plenty of spaces near the end of the day. I got back there about 9pm, the central stairwell was being used as an overnight spot for a number of homeless folk, the edge stairwell I used had a guy jacking himself off in the corner of the ground floor and the floor where I parked had a guy standing in a parking bay injecting himself with the stereotypical tourniquet and injection technique of certain illicit drugs. I live in my little bubble in safe, rural Suffolk and just don’t see things like this. Even when I worked in London before, it was in central London with its City safety and overt City of London presence compared to the Met Police’s gross underinvestment meaning they have no capacity to do anything about it. A fairly sobering experience. "When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt; run in little circles, wave your arms and shout" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckn Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Tonight, I have been trying to concentrate on a web chat thing at the same time as playing a game called Hearts of Iron IV. I'm currently playing as the Germans trying to conquer the world at the same time as discussing the patient benefits of a more joined-up NHS. It's not working too well as I caught myself thinking of how I could get that division of Panzers working with our local hospital.

ckn Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 There’s a decent police presence at Ipswich station just now. Hmmm. Never good for the inner paranoid in me wondering what’s going on.

Bleep1673 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Stupid Bleeping question. You all know by now that Swinton were supplying England with players while your team were in nappies, so how do I change it to something more irritating, and newer?

You need the agreement of all members of the forum to extricate yourself. You could try appealing to the Speaker, aka John Drake, but I wouldn't build up my hopes if I were you.

Bedford Roughyed Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Dear diary, I’m still in the pub. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Mrs Shadow and I had a night out in That London last night, got home at 1.30 am. Bit of a mistake doing it on a school night but RHLSTP records on a monday night so little choice. Sadly I'm not in my twenties so today may be a struggle.
