I would never have thought that tbh I would have guessed forties or younger.

Gremlinertia

Nearly forty

Rubecula

Gremlinertia

be happy in your youth shpud as time flies by faster and faster as you get older. no idea why though

I think it's how time is relative to you. For example a year for me is 1/18 of my life but for you it is 1/60 of your life so for me it feels 3 times longer.

Gremlinertia

A moroccan style chickpea soup.. It's very nice but maybe a tiny bit too spicy for me (i am a big wuss)

Rubecula

I have just finished a nice macaroni cheese with some mackerel with few bottles of ale (small size)

Gremlinertia

Ooh mac n' cheese, nice..

it was extremely tasty to be honest with you and a few years ago I would not have given it cupboard space

Rubecula

right grem I have to go now as it is getting light here and I need some sleep

Gremlinertia

Same here!. Often would turn my nose up at things a few years back that i'll always have in the press now.

Gremlinertia

Sleep well Rube

Rubecula

I nearly did grem.

Shpud2

Anyone about?

Gremlinertia

Just meself, busy night though i must say. How are you?

Shpud2

Pretty meh tonight tbh how about you?

Rubecula

Shpud2

Looks like we've the three musketeers tonight. How's it going Rube?

Gremlinertia

That's good to hear Rube.

I'm pretty stressed and upset tonight. Physical pain and not feeling the best keeping me up. Upset about annoying someone. Stressed about doctors and bullying that i have to face tomorrow. I've a lot on my plate

Gremlinertia

Other people Shpud. Usual shoite.. Hope things aren't as bad as you fear..

Shpud2

Ah unlucky Grem. Thankfully i don't have to deal with that cause i work alone. Things probably aren't as bad as i think but I'd just rather not go through the day in a doctor's surgery and a garda station you know.

Rubecula

bullying shpud? ignore it if it is not physical if it is physical tell someone in authority, if it is someone in authority you sue them in the courts. take it easy and do not stress I try not to myself and I feel a lot better for it

Well tbh it is too hard to ignore. Like its an everyday thing thats been going on over a year and while i have improved at dealing with it it is still quite difficult. It has gotten physical on occasion when i was subject to a gang attack but i am more than capable of handling myself in self defence and that got turned around into me attacking the bully so its a lose lose situation when its physical. They have threatened to stab me etc and yeah I'm worried but there's not much i can do. I have been to the gardai and i go to them when something serious happens but its my word against thiers and I'm just not believed. I've been confronted, accused and almost arrested for things i wasn't around for and even with a hard alibi i don't get believed so its a pointless fight I'm fighting

Gremlinertia

Phew, busy night.

Shpud2

*Collapses into Lair*
What's up lads?

Gremlinertia

All quiet over here thankfully

Shpud2

Not as bad as last night?

Gremlinertia

Nope, things actually got done today :pac:

Shpud2

Good job Grem

Gremlinertia

How did you get on?.

Shpud2

It was worse than i imagined tbh. Very stressful and tiring.
