Due to lack of posting, Dearth Vaper, surely?

BCP in the house! 

 

I hope you:

He has taken an extended Hyena, like a Hiatus only you can’t stop laughing.

What happened to Belarus, haven't seen him for ages?

Had a busy few years pal.

 

Got married, and had two ankle biters.

 

Got divorced, changed jobs as my old job involved being away from home and quite frequently abroad which meant I'd never have gotten to see the kids.

 

Got married again in June and moved to the lake district. I miss the boys during the week immensely but I'm happier than I've ever been.

Life moves fast, Bro. Glad you're happy, A, you stone cold leg end!

Got off after an argument on the FF. Big shame, he is missed.

Was just going to post the same question.

 

Disappointing news.

 

Come back Rev. 

 

If Jesus can do it, so can you.

As eccentric as always, mate.  I got married, got myself a doctorate in behavioural neuroscience, then I ended up as a postman, and I have been perennially depressed ever since. We have an amazing son, Joseph, though, who will be three in December, and he inspires me more than anything.

 

I need to find a new job, but I have no real idea what it is I would like to do. I realised I didn't like - or wasn't very good at - the practical element of science, the rigours of being in a lab every day,  as well as the attendant anxiety associated with conducting high level research (i.e what if I contaminated my samples, did I mix the right concentration of paraformaldehyde, was the correct dose of drug administered etc) . In short, I have ADHD and OCD and the lab-based aspect of my PhD exposed my limitations and I became thoroughly depressed during my PhD. Depression amongst PhD students is alarmingly high.

 

It was the theory which excited me, the big sky thinking, the process of trying to organise seemingly disparate ideas around a unifying concept, that's what grabbed me, not painstakingly pipetting protein samples for hours on end, whilst my mind was jumping all over the place thinking about what to have for tea, or whether I felt that Liverpool were capable of winning the league. I am not cut out for that, and Gem fell pregnant shortly after I submitted my thesis and I had to take the first job that came along as we had no money, and the impending arrival of our son to deal with, so I took a job as Christmas casual sorting mail, and then ended up on a zero hours contract - which was hell on earth - before eventually being given a permanent contract on part time hours. I need out, though, but it's not as easy as it seems.

 

What about you, mate?

Good to hear from you Dirk - the name change threw me initially.

Saw him posting on RAWK when I was browsing it recently. Says a lot about this site that he prefers RAWK over it. 

[TheHowieLama]

I mean, no it doesn't, but alright.

You often come across as petulant, and are unnecessarily confrontational and generally antagonistic.

Not necessarily that he prefers it but I think the personal insults directed at him concerning his faith and his genuineness were a step too far he felt. Tried to PM him but he's blocked from receiving any.

I posted a Ned's Atomic Dustbin video the other day, which got me thinking...

 

Where's GreyCellGreen?

The Rev is a big loss. Good bloke and a good poster.

It was King Emlyn he had the row with & I though KE was in the right, he seems to have fucked off too unfortunately.

This is so funny. I've never picked a fight with anyone on here without being provoked first. People just don't see the difference. And it's gotten to the point where I'll get insulted out of the blue, I'll respond and then I'm the bad guy. Like the other day I posted my opinion on Aaron Ramsey, pretty standard take, and was basically straight up called an idiot. I mean, i'll respond to stuff sarcastically sometimes if I don't really agree with it, but just call someone stupid without provocation? Never done that. 

 

TLW is an aggressive, clique-y forum. I don't mind it personally because I enjoy that it isn't really moderated but you can easily see why people like G Richards wouldn't want to post here anymore. That's all I'm saying.

Where's RJFC nowadays?

Somebody argued that he was a phoney and I felt that he thought it was a go at his faith and him personally. I may be wrong but I felt that he took it to mean him as a man of the cloth too.

Stacksy my Zoomer friend: This place is like a holdover from the early days of the Internet, when it was text based and similar to the Wild West. No carefully curated mummy and daddy mods or emojis here. Enjoy the free speech and try to take it all in good spirits. Entertainment is the currency here, not accuracy.

I said I don't mind it, that's why I post a decent amount on here. But I can see why a guy like G Richards has decided not to come on anymore.
