  1. Same here. I know I love that movie but literally can't think of a single thing about it. I even looked up the synopsis and it rang absolutely no bells whatsoever. It's coming off the shelf and getting another viewing tonight.
  2. Ah now, don't go down that route. It only leads somewhere negative. If she's depressed, properly depressed (and it sounds from what you've said that that's a distinct possibility) then she needs counselling and meds. I know nobody likes the idea of medicating yourself because of your mood but seriously, the doc will know what she needs. Depression is an illness, don't forget. It's caused by many things but to try and assign responsibility for it to yourself won't be helpful. You've got to decide if you can stick around long enough to help her out or if you have to bail. Moping about blaming yourself for that isn't going to help.
  3. I did a BBQ for cup final day. I'd guess that I probably spent £150 on food and drinks. Would never occur to me to invite people over to eat and expect them bring their own food. Drinks on the other hand, I'd fully expect to be contributed. On the day, one of my 18 guests brought a carton of fruit juice (the cheap kind) and one person brought a box of chocolate orange segments, which he polished off all by himself. I felt truly short-changed.
  4. @Simon Or you could just go to the festival, take heaps of drugs, bang loads of girls and make sure you take lots of photos of it all on your phone. She'll get the message soon enough.
  5. She was on sertraline for a bit, which didnt make a difference and tried hypnosis once a long time ago (perhaps this made it worse now you mention it!?). But no actual 1 to 1 conselling. Perhaps I could suggest this to her? But's its still a tough conversation to have without a big argument and tears etc. Proper counselling, combined with appropriate meds is the way forward for her. I'd suggest it worth trying to help her in this direction before ending something that might still work.
  6. You can't email her, that's the coward's way out. You need to face up to her and tell her what you're feeling/thinking. If you don't see a future in it, she needs to know that. It's only fair to her. Are you able to articulate what the problem is from your perspective? If it's just that the "spark" has gone, then I might suggest that this is a perfectly normal thing in any relationship. Having said all that, your story sounds remarkably similar to mine earlier this year. Although we weren't together quite as long as you, I knew I had to end it. Like you, I still loved her (still do) but I knew I couldn't give her the commitment she wanted (marriage, in this instance) so I had to pull the plug. Not that it's that easy, obviously. Took me about 3 months to summon up the courage. It's still hard work and the thought of being single at my age was not one I relished (I'm nearly 10 yrs older than you) but in an odd way, I loved her too much to string her along. All I'd say is make sure you're 100% sure about your decision, then get it over with. Talk it over though, with someone who knows you both, who you trust to be discrete but who will give you a straight answer and tell you if you're being a nob.
  7. Not bothered at all to be honest. Would be happy to stay with Guzzy The problem is, we don't know if Sherwood thinks the same.
  8. Now there's a name I haven't heard in years. Used to have nightmares about him when I was a kid.
  9. There is still an aquafresh citrus, although it's hard enough to find. That's citrus mint though. It's the mint that I hate. I get friends to send me Crest citrus splash from the U.S. every few months.
  10. You'd have loved this then. (Sadly discontinued) lemon flavour toothpaste:
  11. I much prefer tootelling with vigour from the outset. On reflection, maybe that's disrespectful though.
  12. Feels vaguely familiar so might well be a defender in a wheelie-bin but what the heck:
  13. When an insect flies up your nose and you know that if you'd been breathing out at the time, it'd have been enough to save yourself the discomfort.
  14. It'll be online somewhere. I'm no great fan of theirs but it looked fun from what I saw.
  15. I do love it when you recommend a film but my wallet hates you
  16. Hope they tour soon. Truly awesome experience! They must do. New album drops in three weeks.
  17. I've been dancing round my living room for pretty much the whole thing (not a pretty sight). I'd pretty much written off this Glasto as a duff one but this one set has made my weekend.
  18. Has Lionel Richie got a leaky neck or does he sweat like no other man? Two songs in and he's dripping all over his piano.
  19. Self-surgery. Managed to embed a shard of glass in my foot this evening. Had to slice even deeper into the skin to ease the glass out. Blood squirting everywhere. Made worse by then having to get the mop out and clean the hall and living room floor which had looked like a scene from Dexter. The first time I've ever been glad of having wall-to-wall laminate flooring. Now hobbling about with an old sock sellotaped to my foot to stop the blood dripping further. I really should buy a first aid kit.
  20. George Clinton is much more entertaining than Kanye. Just one big party on stage.
  21. Was intrigued when I saw this on Ocado so thought I'd give it a go. I figured that I like ice tea and I like alcohol so if someone has gone to the trouble of combining the two, I should at least try it out. Very sweet but not bad at all.
  22. The obvious difference from what I can tell is the level of crazy. Faith is nutty-crazy whereas Welch is burnyourhousedown-crazy.
  23. There is only one option.
