Daily Moan

But you don't want to live 'til 60 anyway, according to your previous comments.

I wouldn't mind it.

I wouldn't mind if not.

I doubt my daily-life is going to change too much over the next 5, 10, 15, 20.... 40 years. Anytime after the kid's got her post-grad quals and has spent 2 years traveling the world, all good. :-) I'd rather drop dead instantly at 60 than not be able to walk to the sofa and beat Zoey at Scabble on medium difficulty.

No fucker wants to live til 70.....until you get to Cyrilles age

Hang on a minute! Your lovely girlfriend is fantasizing about three kids. You’ll have to be around a bit longer than 60 to see all them through.

I find that hard to believe.

No way is your Scrabble set to 'medium' difficulty.

I thought you were on the retarded toddler setting.

^ Wait till you see the time it takes him to complete a Mini Mercan version of The Sun crossword

Bullshiz!

I nipped that in the bud real quick.

I tried to finish it after a month or so citing that she's 19, she'll need to get married, have kids, buy a house together etc etc and that I'm going to do absolutely none of that ever ever ever, so thank you and be on your way.





It was hard to go through with the split when she fully agreed to all my petty, selfish, shizzy demands, so will ride it out, so to speak.

[misskit]

^ Good. Better not to fuck up your retirement years with a bunch of rug rats!

[Edmond]

Amen to dat.


Though I did get a deaf girl up the duff-a-rooney at the start of last year before she disappeared and had the kid in November, before she deleted all social media accounts but does have my home's google-maps location.

Would be an interesting day if Edith, Teeny, Deaf-Girl & Kid all showed up at lunchtime. :-)

Ed.
45.
Should know better.

[misskit]

Your tombstone will read ‘Ed Should Have Known Better.’

[Edmond]

Either that or I'll be at the bottom of some remote ditch.

^Far down the list of that other footie game but still 124 million folks give a fuck.




​The FIFA World Cup is the most-watched sporting event in the world. The 2022 World Cup had over 5 billion viewers, with the final game alone drawing over 1.5 billion viewers. Other popular sporting events
Tour de France: The 23-day cycling race across France attracts 3.5 billion viewers annually
Cricket World Cup: This quadrennial tournament draws 2.6 billion viewers, especially in South Asia
Women's FIFA World Cup: The 2023 tournament reached 2 billion viewers, doubling its 2019 audience
Summer Olympic Games: This event attracts 2 billion viewers
Super Bowl: The most-watched US broadcast in 2024, with 123.7 million viewers

Apologies Norts, I was a bit grumpy. My engine on my car has taken a shit.

Superbowl is an ideal event for those with attention deficit disorders, the 2 minute bursts of childrens rugby and adverts offer a rotational distraction that is sure to keep children happy.

Turning back to my car ailments, i haven't had a blown engine since i was too enthusiastic with a Golf MK2 GTI in the late 80s.

Understandable, those boy racer cars could shift like shit of a shovel.

My XR3i would have given you a run for your money though.


What's the financial damage?

My moan is the Amp in my car sound system has blown!
Probably need to replace the whole head unit now.

[malmomike77]

No charge, its under warranty.

You won't...I doubt anyone does given the opportunity...

As for not bothering once you're 60, hang on a sec or three! Sixty is the new 40 nowadays. Women still fall for intellect and power and money.

My moan...my wife knows me too well and is tightening the leash....I need another phone, but that would be deceit...

[Edmond]

You won't

Hopefully will. :-)


*edited* :-)

[Joe 90]

Sixty is the new 40 nowadays. Women still fall for intellect and power and money.

I concur

[BLD]

Yep. Works for me

[klong toey]

Feck off.

[Edmond]

A classic, growing up.

I remember his death well as went to see Therapy? a week later and they dedicated Die Laughing to him.


I ended up googling the TV show a few months ago and was a bit dismayed that he was only 45 when he died.

45!

That's my age.







No disrespect meant, Mr. Morgan. RIP.

No fool like an old fool. You seem to be wading in deep waters there Troy.

Agree , do a PADI SCUBA course or take a light refrain like AfD (Another Female Distraction)

There is wondeful French term for women who arouse, Une Allumeuse, and they don't mean a cricket cigarette lighter/feurezeug

Don't listen to Nids, Troy. Life is short.

Have your wicked womanising way and get your wick wet and tell TeakDOOR a titillating tale

This piss-take of a sale shits me

I try to go full Chitty at the supermarket 20 minutes before closing and these coonts think that a measly 63c off a bit of meat warrants a big sale sticker that draws your attention and makes you walk over to look

Fookin joker coontz

I think there is a hidden camera somewhere and they are having a laugh in the staff break room

Maybe going home sooner rather than later.

Sent a message to me oldest sister about possibly going back in 6 yrs time for my kid to go to university there and me to be a full-time carer for me 83 yr old mother (now aged 77) as she has mobility issues etc, or my father of the same age.

she has seriously become 'a right old crock' as she would say. God love her and the pain she is in. And the constant degeneration of her arthritis, & all the other bits & pieces & side effects from the tablets etc. She's had no relaxation / retirement time really, as got that PMR as soon as she got this house. I know the steroids kept it at bay for her for the few years, but she paid a terrible price with bone loss, osteoarthritis & the back fractures. The latest is that the osteoarthritis has compressed the bones on one side of her neck, trapping or flaring up a nerve, so she has constant pain in her inner ear & down her neck now as well. Nothing can be done for it, except heat packs & painkillers. Its not going to improve. And on the other side, she has a badly torn rotator cuff, that has really limited her arm movement. She's great & dedicated to the daily physio, and her Dr is great, a really nice man, but its all too far gone to do much besides painkillers.

She was flying it for a few weeks after the hip replacement, until the neck thing really hit. The new hip is the best part of her, she says.

I was with her Wednesday & we had a nice lunch out. And afterwards had a chat, which she started, along the lines of 'I don't know how many more years I've left". She was just talking openly about whether she'd be able to stay in her apartment if she ended up in a wheelchair, though she would be able to with some adjustments. She said she's been keeping an eye out on care homes, but to be honest, I don't think she could stomach them. I had already offered for us to change the ground floor to make her a bedroom & ensuite, or to build on a granny pod out the back, cos that gets the sun. She thought about it, but said her apartment feels like her home. So who knows how all that is going to land. Speaking plainly, things aren't getting any better for her, only worse, and I worry about her quality of life. If she is still with us in 6 years, she will be in bad shape I'd say. Though I accompanied her through a series of ICPOP (geriatric) clinic appointments & tests, and her MRIs & heart were fine, except for the blocked cervical? artery in her neck.


I'm not in touch with dad, so I don't know how he is or his home set-up.

Daily moan. Body degeneration of a dear parent.

[Mendip]

^ My mother is 89... you're late to this party.

This time in family is when living the other side of the world can be the cause of some seriously conflicting loyalties.

You just have to do what is right.
