    since friday i've had a bad load of luck where everything has went wrong.. apart from two good nites out.

    i'm almost numb to it all cause the bad things keep piling up, latest one being laptop breaking..

    so yea, so is it better that it all happened over 3 days or would it have been better over the course of month?

    thank god for my itouch and panadol for hangover :p

    Better over a short period, you're over it sooner. Plus, then youve only had a bad week, instead of a bad month.

    Yeah, we're going to have to pay for it some way, even the strange fact that it only started to rain as soon as the last yacht was leaving.:eek:

    Who knows really. It depends on what the bad things are. Sometimes a serious of small seemingly insignificant bad things can lead up to serious life changes or more serious bad things.

    I'd rather no bad things happened. I'd rather they were spaced out (I think) if they had to happen.

    I think it's better to get it all over at once.

    All at once. My entire life has been bad thing after bad thing after bad thing, when there's something even remotely good, it's completely overshadowed by something bad.

    I'd rather have it all happen at once and get it the hell out of the way, because my life is a giant pisstake half the time.

    I would rather not have my tire blowout, my brakes fail and my accelerator stick all at the same time.

    It would have been better to have had all the bad news about the economy out in the open before last Septembers budget. The drip drip drip feeding of yet more bad news isn't helping anyone. We could have been over the worst of it nine months ago and feeling that the only way was up.

    Unless they said 50% unemployment, bankrupt country, IMF move in, 75% of all hospital beds closed and street fighting for food, then i don't think it could have looked up anything soon.

    Well if all tires go at the same time , and your suspension fails and the timing belt goes too...

    I'd rather get two teeth removed at once rather than have each done separately. So to answer your question, yes I would rather have all the ****ty stuff happen at once.

    i had a year of bad things happen to me constantly. it was s**t at the time but i suppose it was good that it got it over with

    (lets see, my grandmother died, i lost my job, i crashed my car, dropped out of collage, girlfriend broke up with me, by text, for another guy, lost about 4 months work to a broken hard drive and my grandad died)

    Ok so quick update.. bad stuff still happening.

    - Fuel leaking from car.
    - Exhaust Bracket broke in car.
    - Ipod aux connection in car loose so need a new end on it.

    All easy fixes but just more money.. Worst of all we had a serious meeting in work on friday.. so very worried about that now.

    In the words of glenn hoddle, i must have been a cunnt in a past life for whats happenin now lol
