    I was quoted 50 notes when I dropped my work phone about a year ago. Boss-man said it would stop working eventually if I didn't replace the screen, but I haven't yet, and it still works. Been peering through the cracks my whole life.

    We all are on here so you're not alone.........................you're not alone, wasn't that a line from a Ravey Davey Bowie song?

    Why is my ****ing brain process all over the ****ing place, sometimes I'd like to be logical like Spock but I have the attention span of a dementia ridden gnat. Maybe I'm actually Tom Jones, I mean it's not unusual I suppose.

    Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. <ok>

    Hidden away in a Victorian style asylum, yes, but not to be ashamed of.

    Every humanoid has some form of mental illness.

    It was actually exceedingly prevalent on my home planet as well like Mr Kipling's cakes.

    Some things are universal.

    There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

    Did you mean to say:

    You called Pompey?

    or

    You called, Pompey?

    Got very pissed once in a pub on O'Connel Street, near the statue of James Joyce. The pub had a marble bar top and lots of wrought iron fittings iirc, and the old fellas boozing in there loved us and kept buying us drinks, because they'd all lived and worked in North London at some point in their lives. That's my James Joyce story, that and not having read any of his books.
