Once spent a night on the Samaritans switchboard. 4 callers topped themselves. I wouldn't have minded so muich but three of them were the wrong number.

By thirty I had travelled to every continent except Antarctica. Had two houses and rented another. Married for some years.
You never know what's round the corner, as me mother used to say.

If you can't get a woman then try buying yourself a motorbike, a guitar and then find some smarmy graduate 'Leadership Programme' type, who everyone despises, and punch him out in the middle of the office. You'll feel a million times better about yourself.
Post of the Month methinks !!!

Originally posted by MordacFu.ck me, what is this, the Samaritans or something? Why is everyone so bloody miserable? I've just got a 3 month extension on £400 p/d, I'm still collecting my winning bets from miserable Spurts fans and I've got a ticket for the champs league final next week. Hope that's cheered you up a bit.

Enough of this handwringing, I saw Carlos Santana in concert in Antwerp last night, had a complete ball, then eating strawberries for lunch today, Brusse;s red light tonight Amsterdam this weekend and next week Ive got two weeks off.
And Im 46 next week.

Originally posted by lilelvis2000I remember when I was 30 and thinking the same as you. Now I'm 40 and married with children and still thinking the same as you.

I was digging in the yard today
When a letter came from Southampton way
Keep on working
Keep on working
I must admit I was a bit in the red
But if you never have pleasure then you could be dead
Keep on working
Keep on working
But there's on thing
They can't take away
Hear the sea sing
See a smiling face
I think we're OK
Though we all could be mad
That's what they say
We just can't all be bad
I got something now to think about
I'll work all day but not to pay it out
Keep on working
Keep on working
Don't care if they say where a dying race
I'd rather be here than any other place
Keep on working
Keep on working
And there's another whirl
They can't ever touch
Just need a boy and girl
It don't cost you much
And if your luck is in
you might have kids at play
To make you laugh and sing
When you're old and gray
