Yeah, that caught me off guard when watching it earlier. It’s beautiful but so sad at the same time. It’s only been fairly recently I’ve realised how awful loneliness must be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the approach to land a guy gets his phone out and turns it on. The steward who was sat near asked him to turn it off, guy says no. Steward reminds him again its an offense, guy says no. We land and message over the PA tells everybody to remain seated for a few minutes. 3 heavily armed police officers board and take him away. I hope he learned something that day. He was shot? Omg RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 This is really quite infantile I suppose, but reading books from the past, when euphemistic words meant completely different things. Example this innocent description from Cora Sandel describing the protagonist spotting her mother exiting a jeweler / pawn shop. "She looked about her for a moment, up and down the street. Without noticing Alberta she gathered up her skirt, and went down the steps, holding her muff out a little with one hand, as was her habit." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weekends to Christmas and the trains can’t run due to shortages of staff, shortages of train stock, and the forecast of stormy weather. This means that tomorrow all the trains will be in the wrong place. Of course, GWR won’t spot this until tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Watching a bit of that His Dark Materials with my nipper. The scene currently on, girl talking to bear in big hall, my nipper watched that being filmed, whilst on some work experience! I did a week in an office down the docks on work experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 When homeless people and other undesirable types take an interest in me beyond what they can acquire, and tell me I'm a good man, or compliment something I've done. Then, and only then, do I believe momentarily with some certainty that there's meaning and purpose to be found in life, and that I have some partial understanding for what it can be. The fact I can attract their attention away from hardship and whatever other turmoil they endure to recognise and articulate an appreciation for something we can share, says a lot. A single parent friend of mine is taking her 3 year old daughter to volunteer with the homeless this Christmas Day, I will accompany them and we'll hopefully make someone's day. But the fact that this single mother, who has her doubts and insecurities about life, has the heart and principles of kindness and generosity regardless of her fears, warms me. Add to that she has the courage and bravery to take her young daughter for the experience and it becomes apparent to me I have had a limited view of what constitutes greatness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted December 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2019 I don’t know how many of you saw the offer Tyrone Mings put on twitter, asking people to to message him if they wanted a seat in his box at Villa Park tomorrow. Well a couple of people that I know that run a charity contacted him and they’ve got a couple of seats for a couple of people they are helping. All round good story. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
