it happens every xmas

[jimmywizz]

have you noticed that every year in the run up to xmas you turn on the news and you see three crap things happen, one a bad fire, two a plance crash, and three a natural disaster, well we have just had the plane crash and fire so i wonder whats on its way next ?

[brian c]

The mother in law -----that could be classified as a natural disaster.

[sherri]

In these parts we tend to have our natural disasters after Xmas. Well last Xmas the natural disaster came Boxing day-the Tsunami. That will be a hard one to top.
A few years ago we had a storm strike the sydney/hobart yacht race on Boxing Day and a few people drowned in that.
Yes, I wonder what Boxing Day holds this year.

Mind you, our main thing in the lead up to Xmas is- a big hike in petrol prices and a beer strike.
The petrol price increase is always because of outside, world influences beyond their control, you understand, never because of opportunism by any operators in OUR country.

was just saying that to m8 at work, and he reckons that its just more noticeable when it happens at this time of the year
maybe has a point

every xmas we get a few suicides people jumping off the cliff tops
weve had two already xmas can be a very depressing time for some
i noticed the other day that the samaritans have put help signs up

[Samara]

Only the lonely
Know the way I feel tonight
Only the lonely
Know this feeling ain't right
There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever so far apart
But only the lonely
You know why I cry
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dum-dee-du-wah
Ooh-yeah-yeah-yeah-yah
Oh-woh-woh-woh-o oh-wa-wah
Only the lonely, only the lonely

Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely
Know I cry and cry for you
Maybe tomorrow a new romance
No more sorrow but that's the chance
You've got to take
If you're lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely

Oh Samara,what a song...I can feel myself filling up...
'The tears of a clown..that has no hope.
Good song as well

Bad drunken joke deleted by me.

[memor]

Do what my neighbour does.

She not watch the news on TV.

She not listen to News on Radio.

She not get Newspaper.

She really shocked when I tell her that. Queen Mum had died and Mrs Thatcher not PM now.

She says the world is to depressing and she wants to enjoy her life with her Grandkids.

Maybe she has a point.

Why depress yourself with things you cannot change. Events that have already happened.

I personally want to know, but maybe when I get older will I think like she does and say Sod It I not want to be depressed any longer.

[rossinisbird]

i noticed the other day that the samaritans have put help signs up

Help to commit suicide?

...and Mrs Thatcher not PM now.

And that's bad news?

[tonnee]

bring back maggie she wouldnt put up with the p. c brigade
who are slowly turning this country into a joke

nosey sh it stirring parasites with nothing better to do
and that old idiot whos been taken hostage in iraq
that will teach him no sympathy here

[memor]

rossinbird. Mrs Thatcher one of the Best things that happen to this country.

She sorted out Unions. They getting far to strong and ruining this country.

Now lots of good ideas eroded by New Labour now they been in power for

eight years but it strange they not give

power back to Unions. Have you ever wondered why ?

[Jim_in_France]

I know why memor. New Labour stands for....."New Tories"
