Yes, things seem to be spiralling rapidly.

Last week I had to try to talk round a friend on the phone who was utterly depressed about his neg eq etc.

Then yesterday, I was out for a walk with another friend, normally a very organised efficient woman who runs her own business, who broke down in tears saying she is working round the clock to try to pay her mortgage (£250k IO bought at peak, I warned her but to no avail).

Schad was the last thing on my mind, I didn't have a clue what to say to them really. These are good friends and it's tempting to say 'told you so' but what would that achieve. One even said 'how come you always seem so calm and collected about these things?' and I felt like screaming 'because I wasn't daft enough to take on £250k worth of debt!!!!'

In the end I made vague emotionally constipated conciliatory noises about best not to bottle things up, keep your chin up etc etc, now let's have a stiff drink...

I know it's all starting to unravel. For years I wondered how people were doing so well, seems they weren't, even yesterday I heard of another one this time with an £800,000 mortgage and this is no high flyer. Seems they got greedy and didn't you know property only ever goes up.

Apologies. I genuinely don't mean to be obnoxious, but in my line of work I have found myself frequently having to prop up people like those I mentioned. We have a lot of deadwood employees employed my deadwood managers so they don't make them look bad and then you end up doing half their jobs so you can get your own work done. It's like a disease, one manager blags a job they can't do and then lets other blaggers slip through recruitement because they don't know enough of the business to spot the chancers.

That's why I posted because two of the culprit sterotypes were both talking gloom near me on the train.

Hope that explains my misery a bit more.

You're a man, not a woman, aren't you? ;)

Peter.

that it Peter, it's a blokes indelible right to mess up their lists and go off list' particularly when with the kids as you can get loads of brownie points saying "sure why not, it's Ok once in a while" as they point to the choco coco flake thingys. Keeps them in check and reminds them that they're best doing it themselves :lol:

I do regret that you interpreted my comments as a pompous evil disgrace. I can't say too much due to my work being rather specialised and it would be easy to identify me if I spoke too much but rest assured I don't think I'll ever get a private jet. I am in public service and am a healthcare professional.

I think being in a profession which mandates an almost 24/7 duty of care and a willingness to do (within reason) anything for anyone has made me compensate by being a miserable git. This is not meant to excuse my possibly harsh words at all, far from it.

As for my riches, I am not a medic or a dentist so no millions for me. No special payouts, salaries or pensions (if you want to see social injustice then look at what our class system has rewarded these professions with).

I have just bought myself a second hand mobile phone and am well chuffed with it. My own circumstances could be (and possibly are) just as shaky a those I mock. If and when it goes TU for me (190k mortgage, 350 peak value, bought at peak to escape from SE London ghetto of Plumstead/Woolwich) then I fully expect you all to enjoy a glass of Schad at my expense. :lol: I suppose a lot of my misery can also be explained as fear for my own circumstances. Yes, I was here on this site when we made the decision to double our mortgage and get out of Woolwich. The rationale was that there's no point being dead with a low mortgage. An extreme viewpoint but things are getting a bit crazy down there with the nationality based drug wars going on that are ignored by the media (Somali vs Nigerian vs West Indian vs Indigenous White British Scrotes)

Anyway I digress.

When in Leeds today I saw a man getting a little het up as one of the second hand shops had allegedly bought a stolen laptop and the man was trying to track it down and get it back, but the shopkeeper was a little elusive with the details of their customers, we also had the cops hassling the homeless tramps and the queues in the Computer Exchange shop lasted all day with maybe 20-30 people at a time all flogging their stuff (mainly console games from what I could see) to raise a few quid.

It was most definitely grim up north today. I feel sad for these people in reality, except for the chancers and scumbags.

Northern Schad comes in cans at 8% ABV methinks. Not like Southern Schad which is still in corked bottles and has a fruity aroma.

Anyway, enough of this and thanks for reading my tripe.

Trying to encourage friends to commit suicide is not an acceptable way to get a cheap house. ;)

One thing that idiot of a PM could usefully do would be to ban mobile phones and wifi users on trains.

Anyone that wants to work or talk instead of sleep or read on the train should be ejected whilst it's moving. Preferably from the tilter.

I agree. They should be charged office rates and have their own carriage, complete with a photocopier, snotty receptionist and a water chiller.

The 'quiet carriage' should certainly be strictly enforced as such. The fact that it isn't is one of the many reasons I don't travel by train unless there is absolutely no alternative. IMHO they should just install signal jammers in these carriages and have done with it.

He means it's not "Bacon" foil but BACO (an acronym for British Aluminium Company)

Well, all those years I`ve thought it was Bacon foil :rolleyes::lol:

Who really gives a flying ******

There's a shark found off Cornwall called the Mako shark.

Is there a business opening for 'Mako Foil'?

Incidentally, I am a regular user of a David Koresh memorial kitchen product called 'Waco Foil'.

A friend of mine, p/t job in supermarket as a student, years ago, before bar-code readers were used.

One of the regular not-too-bright check-out girls shouts out loud at top of her voice to get a price check, very audible all along the checkout line

(mis-pronouncing BASTED)

"How much is this b*stard chicken?!?"

When I was walking down the street I passed a guy in his 30s wearing a suit on the street talking on his mobile saying "well if you can't do anything for me I'm going to have to close my bank account", went to the supermarket, another guy in his late 20s maybe was buying only a bottle of vodka, nothing else, didn't look like an alcoholic, maybe he lost his job.

I have noticed that the look of people has changed, if you walk around during the day they look grim and broke, on TV you see people that look like they are from the 30s or 40s somehow. I look quite chirpey and smiley, people keep wondering if I am a foreigner.

I too was on a Train from London to Leeds the other day, I noticed some geezer that seeemed a bit restless and seemed to be listening in on other peoples conversations and making snap judgemental decisions that these people were losers.

I`m not sure, maybe he was desperate for a shit and a fag but I found it hard to read his mind as he was wearing bacon foil around his head.

:P

Happy Monday people.....

You can afford a ticket from London to Leeds?

Are you a wealthy STR?
