I kind of have lost interest in that earlier girl I was talking about as I have invested quite  abit of time in her yet she still playing too hard to get. Not going to be chasing any girl for a significant amount of time there are plenty out there!!

Another girl on Tinder matched and she messaged me which was interesting. She isnt as pretty as the other one but she seems very nice. A good sense of humour and quite laid back so fingers crossed with this one.

 

 

Is she an interpreter?

or a lot of landlords putting up their rent by 10% and telling the tenants to say nowt and pay nowt

I think it'll very possibly mean a lot more homelessness, as landlords move across to them private sector where rents are better. There are going to be fewer and fewer social tenancy properties available.

Part of the Tories plan to return us to Victorian Britain I guess.

The man is totally electable and I say that as someone who hasn't voted Labour for 20 plus years

I will be voting for him and the party next time around

Aye. If he continues in this vein, and sticks to his principles, then maybe. Toss up between Jez or Green. TBH Green ticks all the right boxes for me, and Jez still has the problem of the rest of the Blairites to contend with, so we'll see. But he's started well ....

This nuclear deterrent has so well recently

It prevented the 9/11 attacks

It prevented the 7/7 attacks

It prevented the recent Paris attacks.

errr ..... I'm not really sure what it's meant to be preventing? The ruskies dropping a nuke on us? Korea?

But ... We're DOOOOMED without it!!

Bizarre.

I don't think even Demmers knows what he's on about there Snowster. What a bizzare rant.

Yep, Corbyn would stall and we would probably be bombed. Talking about scraping trident while this is all going on is absolute madness. We have to be able to defend ourselves if someone comes at us

You want to Nuke ISIS?

Wasn't it the Turks who killed those Leeds fans a few years ago?

DEATH TO ALL TURKS!!!!!  !!!

(joking).

I'm actually generally reassured by these figures.  Given the vagueness (possibly deliberate) of the questions, I don't think those figures are too bad at all.

Well, that's The West out then.

Excellent, excellent post, Sir Peter of Blandsville

Right wing Daily Mail reader in admittance of ignorance shocker.

I am Confucius. Just 2 days ago you demanded that we should 'close all the borders' and let nobody else in. 'We're full, and it's safer that way'. Some of your views really are quite xenophobic and right wing, and just to say that you realise they are, and maybe you shouldn't really have those views but you do, doesn't make it all 'OK'.

She's been arrested it seems.

I do think we need to stop immigration purely for security reasons and the fact that we cant keep letting people in. the worrying thing is that we already have sleeper cells in our country so that alone will not stop attacks.

I don't think that goes far enough ruge. Firstly we must close all borders,  especially to anyone looking or sounding a bit muslimy. But many are already here. So I'd also advise rounding up all Muslims, and Muslim sympathisers, and putting them all into some form of grouped camp. A concentration of people, if you will.  It's both for  'our' good, and 'their' good.  It's the only way. Then after a while, send them all 'home'. It r really is the only answer.

I can hear you, Clem Fandango!

Yeah, I think these things can often start quite young Ruge. You develop your own strategies for dealing with things/life, but sometimes those strategies aren't quite enough. I don't think it ever completely goes away, but can be dealt with, I guess with or without meds, depending on how bad it is.

stolen. Thanks Choffs

Got 'diagnosed' (if you can call it that) back in the summer. I had no idea myself as just thought I was dealing with the sort of shite everyone has to deal with, so not coping so well with things was just par for the course. I suspect I've had periods like this for donkeys years going back to my youth, but while you're going through it, you just think it's normal and what everyone else goes through, so how would you know?

But I'd got quite 'down' over a period of a few months, including heart palpitations and feelings of anger. I didn't feel 'down' though, just normal for myself, as I get like that quite often. I had got increasingly tired though, sometimes crazily so.

It took my missus to 'send' me to the Doc's (she has a history of issues including eating an disorder an PND) as she saw the signs apparently, and we were having more problems ion our marriage due to it. Both the doc and the counsellor suggested anti depressants, an whilst I was reluctant at first, they obviously know what they are doing, so I went along with it. A little while later my mood improved quite a bit, and things started not to feel so bad (I guess my feelings before going to the docs where that I was spinning loads of plates on spikes, and they were all going to come crashing down and everything was just going to be **** up). But the tablets have helped, things don't seem so bad, at times even quite rosy, despite blips.

There's not stigma to it. Most people would obviously not even know I'm on tablets. It was just my own reluctance to take them that I had to get past, as I didn't feel I needed them. Now I just see them as a bit like having a beer or 2. They make me feel (a bit) better (though you can't rely on them 100% and do need to address your own internal issues that get you down).   

I can't see why a supermarche or local indy shops (or whoever) shouldn't be able to open at 8am on a Sunday, or 5pm on a Sunday, or whenever. Shops should be able to, by and large, choose their own hours that suits their needs. If they want to open on Sunday but maybe not be open on Monday morning as there's not much trade, that should be up to them. At the moment, trade is restricted on a Sunday, for reasons I don't fully understand, other than legacy and religious bollocks.
