suzy, I am aware you have met some famous people. I was. however, making A JOKE.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Jokes are funny and the teller does not have to explain they were making one after the fact. This is basic.

Ok, I sent the Rainbow photo to the nationalist Beer company. Now I just have to wait for the beer.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I am not paying attention to my spelling. I wonder how my mum is.

I am not feeling very well, so I hope she is OK.

Rainbow beer. Is that gay?

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:07 (seventeen years ago) link

party at yr place soon then, Ed?

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:07 (seventeen years ago) link

But first some coffee...

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I believe it is only an 8 pint mini cask, but, why not.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I hadn't thought of the rainbow connection. Mwahahaha.

― suzy artskooldisko (suzy artskooldisko), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I have stopped drinking coffee on account of the fact that I am not sleeping. But the reason why I am not sleeping is that it is a side effect of the prozac I'm taking. But still, I am sure reducing my caffeine intake will help.

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:10 (seventeen years ago) link

the rainbow connection

first song in the Muppet Movie, innit?

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Ed loves Muppets.

I am supposed to not be drinking so much caffeine, but I am cold and cranky and coffee makes me warm and ... cranky. So there you go.

What time of day do you take your prozac? I cannot take SSRIs right before bedtime because they make me funny. I tend to take mine just after dinner. Then the funniness has worn off by the time I go to bed.

Eight pint minikeg? Well, that's a bit of a chiz.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Free beer is, well, free beer.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Free beer + camera to be sold on eBay = Profit

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, you can use the profit to buy... more beer!

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:15 (seventeen years ago) link

the doctor told me to take them in the morning to alleviate the insomniac effect. But it only alleviates it; doesn't get rid of it completely. The only other side effect besides butterflies in the stomach for the first few days is that lights look brighter, especially artificial ones. When I told the doc he was surprised as he hadn't heard of this happening to anyone else. He wondered whether it caused dilation of the pupils.

I've just had a big dinner and now I'm knackered.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:18 (seventeen years ago) link

A different antidepressent made me over-sensitive to light. I couldn't stand bright lights at all, and daylight was painful. I told the doctor, who told me I was making it up. Then I read the little pamphlet that came with the drugs, and it said photosensitivity was a rare but known side effect.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:19 (seventeen years ago) link

That was quick:

I'm supposed to take the tablets for 3 months and I am about four days into the second month. Doc reckons I'll be right as rain when I've finished the course. I don't share his optimism.

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Hrrrmmmm. Seems a strangely short course - I was told to do 6 months as a minimum.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Apropos of nothing: my Google Mail ads are currently trying to sell me a Freemason's Coat for £99. I'm not sure if the freemason knows.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Ed, why is it at #1?

Sorted by date submitted.

I fucking hate people.

I utterly and absolutely hate people.

Especially anonymous fucking bastards who hide behind their own anonymity to kick people when they're down. There's a special fucking hell reserved in their own minds for them.

If I were feeling better, I'd say "I can't be bothered" but right now I feel like saying "Show your fucking face so I can kick you in it, you coward."

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:06 (seventeen years ago) link

But that's really made up my mind about cutting people out.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I know, in my head, that it's 99% likely that it's Marcello or some other trolling asshole leaving these comments, but cannot shake the fear that it's one of my so called former friends, which makes me re-examine every single friendship I though I had, thinking "Is it you? Is it you writing this shit? SAY IT TO MY FUCKING FACE THEN."

And I can no longer trust anyone.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

But, like I've said repeatedly on this thread, I *AM* an asshole, and I'm no longer making apologies or excuses for it.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Awwww, my boss just found me crying in the loo, and bought me a bag of chocolates.

OK. Not all people suck.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:47 (seventeen years ago) link

You know what I do hate, tho?

Those stupid MySpace icons that come up and tell you that someone is online. Those really suck.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I just hate MySpace full-stop.

― suzy artskooldisko (suzy artskooldisko), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 16:27 (seventeen years ago) link

it's just full of prostitute murders these days

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I want me an aspidistra. Though no doubt, I'd probably manage to kill it like all mine other plants.

I like the high class rider of 'Oddbin's Own Red'

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 17:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Oddbins and Aspidistra. Do you think they're trying to make a statement there?

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 17:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Box wine, no less.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 17:27 (seventeen years ago) link

nothing shows class like a boxed tinfoil bladder of wine

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link

God, I need a drink. I'm coughing up a storm. How do you make a hot toddy? Whisky, lemon, honey, what?

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 17:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Cloves!

I'm having one of these tonight.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 17:57 (seventeen years ago) link

a little water and the spice of your choosing.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm really into star anise lately, which reminds me my pickled plums and chutney will be ready.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 18:01 (seventeen years ago) link

The only whiskey I have is Laphroaigh, though. Bit of a waste, but oh well.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 18:01 (seventeen years ago) link

And one of these to serve it to me. In bed.

get one half bottle of McAngus Offie Skotch.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I am always surprised by how many people are on anti-depressants. If they're so easy to get why am I not on them? The best years of my life (like about 15 of them) have been frittered away being "glum."

― substitute, mitya for him (mitya), Wednesday, 20 December 2006 08:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Mitya, I think the problem is that in many cases mental health problems are extremely difficult to diagnose. Maybe it was simply bad choice of words on yr part but if you are simply "glum" then it doesn't sound as if you need them. With me it I had several months of extreme tiredness, feeling that my life was pointless and going nowhere and sudden moodswings when I would get very, very angry for no apparent reason, but it wasn't until I threw myself in front of a moving vehicle (which thankfully slowed) and my mate grabbed me by the shoulders and said "What the **** do you think you're doing? You need help and fast" that I finally went to the doctor and demanded it. What I've found out subsequently is that a far greater percentage of the population suffer from such problems than I'd ever suspected and (perhaps leading on from that) people are generally very supportive when they hear that you've been suffering in this way.

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 20 December 2006 09:31 (seventeen years ago) link

See, I've been getting very tired lately. I often feel that my life is going nowhere - but that's because I'm in a dead-end job on an industrial estate in a backwater part of the country, and I have trouble holding down a relationship for longer than a fortnight. Mood swings - been having those for years.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 20 December 2006 10:00 (seventeen years ago) link

There is more than a slight difference between "feeling glum" and feeling like you want to throw yourself (or other people in my case, which was what finally drove me to get help) in front of trains. And therein lies the rub.

I am decidedly Ill (bad headcold which has now settled in my chest) which is making everything seem worse than it normally appears.

And my mother taking me to task for my "terrible drinking" (i.e. having one hot toddy when I got home, and another, 3 hours later, after a meal, before I went to bed) isn't helping.

But I am determined not to feel like death today.
