Youri McAnespie Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I think it's flown... The days seem to pass more quickly just pottering about and killing time I reckon'. Watching way too much telly an' all - which really is a waste of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shite in other words - and I have Netflix but think the stuff on there is even shitter. Dunno how my tellies are still intact tbh as every time one of those fake zoom/periscope type adverts come onscreen I want to smash it in, especially the Nationwide 'poetry' ones. I'm with them but considering joining out because of these cuntbubble ads. Edited April 28, 2020 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted April 28, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2020 the annoying thing for me was that in Jan / Feb things were really on track and going well - freelance work was busy as it's ever been for me, the little one was in nursery 4 days a week, that meant more time to work, the mrs could do a dog grooming course and I signed up at the gym for a PT everything positive then it all goes to shit I'm not wallowing in self pity or anything, it's happened to everyone, and I'm still working but fuck me, I wouldn't have minded if I was in a shit job I hated and now I had all this free time to do other stuff one thing is for sure I'll never complain about the cost of childcare again, I'd pay double for someone to take her for half the time I did previous when all this is over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I'm missing work but things could be much, much worse - chiefly thinking of those losing loved ones (condolences to all btw), those with financial/job worries - especially employers (good ones) and your one man band types and those working at the coalface of it all - be they care workers, NHS staff, shopworkers etc. shouldn't forget them (shop staff) - seen so many take shit off cunts and thought they're not being paid enough for that. For a lot (myself included) it's just marking time with a bit of mild inconvenience - and I cringe at all the 'stay home hero'/'times are tough' messages being put out. It's tough for those mentioned above imo, not so much for many more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Missing going into the office and work colleagues, after work drinks and just knocking around in central London. I have to say though, that aside at least I'm still lucky to be in work (and I got a pay rise last month) some exciting new projects coming up and a new team at work so I can finally move further away from theatre and onto stuff like gaming, toys, more live music. Downsides are worries about rent as my other half has been furloughed and with theatre's not opening for a good while yet she might get made redundant which would be a disaster, but there are people much worse off than us and being bored of TV of an evening isn't the worse thing in the world. Having said all that, I've crumbled on the no drinking during the week and got some in for tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, long swore off girls with extra timber, they'll be gutted to learn, even with massive jugs... It's for tips for when I get my own (hacienda, not chateau - Spain not France) - there is a really petite posh blonde woman on it though, she's more up my street, I'd play Mellors to her Lady Chatterley. Her poshness adds much to her allure. Edited April 28, 2020 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted April 28, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2020 Which year was it that by about mid April around a dozen or so celebrities had died and every fucker was talking about, "Could any year be any worse than this?" Well here it is. Those celebrities kind of pale into insignificance to all except their families. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Having been retired for 16 years (retired early) you would think I was used to filling my time with gardening, odd jobs etc. Well I am but what I find most frustrating at the moment is not being able to do things spontaneously and obviously socialising. And they say your 69th year is your happiest. Phaw! ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Anyhow, these women you speak of are probably just frustrated - shacking up with and spending their working lives with sham-man fops, the type who; go to Farmer's markets, ride adult scooters, cook Nepalese or some godawful other niche cuisine and get stabbed to death for their iMac at the Notting Hill Carnival...😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
