offlineMemberI know this is a humourous site but I'm pissed an depressed. The pissed part will be ok tomorrow - or later today - but I just can't drink away the depression. If I was a famous musician i could use substances, but I'm a cash-strapped copywriter with nowhere to go except Stourbridge tomorrow.

offlineMemberI confess to an almost childlike squirl of pleasure on seeing that my computer has managed to give Motörhead and umlaut or whatever that dit-dit over the second o is called.
I think it is the first time ever that predictive wotsit or autocorrect thingy has actually been anything other than a thistle in my colon.

offlineMemberDid someone mention Stourbridge?
Fuck....I'm depressed now.
Anything left in that bottle Scroat?
No.....I'm not surprised.
Stourbridge has the most pointless ring-road in the country.
Why would anyone want to go round Stourbridge.
A by-pass would have been better value for money.

Though in fairness, there are probably many places far more dreary than Stourbridge but (not being a masochist) I have never sought them out. I am sure other correspondents here will offer their own geographical nominations.

offlineMemberThanks, wow. I didn't know there were b-day wishes here. It was the 18th. Those who know my real name have reason to believe it was the 26th. I was supposed to be born that day, but me mum had induced labor to be home with my older brothers for Christmas. As it was, I was 10 lbs., so it was time.
I hope you all had a merry Christmas, and best for the New Year. Rikkor

offlineMemberPosting birthday wishes on here is not a new thing, and in the 'good old days'* was a fairly regular occurrence.
That was of course back in the days of friendliness, support and welcome, all of which have sadly gone.
*Before this site turned into a particularly vituperative and insular episode of 'Grumpy Old Men'.

offlineMemberMrs B, I think you've been infected with a few false memories. The time you speak of, though, was just prior to the time when people like Rikkor viciously attacked a quite vulnerable but plucky bloke and his so called "mates" like Scroat stabbed him in the back then kicked him when he was down.
Those good old days have sadly gone now.I'm not writing this in anger I'm just trying to improve the accuracy of your memory Missis.
p.s. the only time I can remember a suggestion of birthday wishes on here was when I put forward the suggestion that it might be a nice idea for NB to put Happy Birthday to your YM on the ticker (when I think he was about 7). Like nearly everything else, it didn't make it.Posted 7 months ago # -

offlineMemberI talk about before that time, back when the site was all shiny and new.
Nice to decode your new nom-de-plume though Ramblesid.

offlineMemberI really don't know what it is about Stourbridge, but it is a depressing place. In its defence. I have to say that compared with where I live the people are really friendly. Going shopping is a delight - even Waitrose. People talk to each other and are genuinely pleasant.
Henley is full of rich dickheads. I'm an impoverished dickhead, which I hope makes me more socially acceptable to Guardian readers and their ilk.
Sorry about the drunken ramblings earlier. It was meant to be funny, and it is. If you're pissed enough... Bad patch before Christmas.

offlineMemberwell i went to a john lewis shop yesterday in exeter, and i was unimpressed. i have never been to one before, and will probably never go again. there was a pair of socks for £18. that is £9 EACH. on the other hand, there is a lovely poundstretcher in exeter which has a post-apocalyptic feel. much better.
i once also went to a tescos in milton keynes. i am convinced it must be one of the biggest shops in the world. awful beyond measure
