    A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money.

    The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said,

    "Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel.

    I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents.

    The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $1.37.

    Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars."

    I’m worried about this Indian variant and old people.

    My naan has just been placed in an induced korma.

    Hello everyone.

    I’ve had a really tough couple of months. My family are in the U.K. and haven’t seen them in a long time. I’m five weeks from my date to leave Kuwait and return home and my wife has informed me that she wants to leave me and my daughter in order to live alone.

    I’m returning to a place I haven’t lived in for about 15 years. I don’t know anyone and I’m inevitably going to be in a rough way. I need to meet people when I’m home, I need to find my support structure both for me and so I can continue being an all-in, motivated single dad. It’s terrifying to think of that right now. But the only way out is through.

    If there’s anyone on here in the Southampton/Eastleigh/Winchester area who would be interested in some kind of summer meet-up, let me know. I’m home at the end of June and I can get a thread up closer to the time. You’re all (mostly) good, safe people. In hindsight, my relationship was not healthy for me and I gave entirely too much to this person. I’m going to come out of this stronger though.

    I'm sorry to here that, must be tough but I'm sure you and your daughter will come through stronger together. I don't post very often but it would be cool to do something in the summer!

    My first child is 4 weeks old today, so it would be good to meet some dads (not to mention Saints fans) too!

    Absolutely. Thank you. I need to just meet people in the first instance. I’m not asking for anyone to be BFFs or anything. I have been isolated here for a very long time, so building those social circles at home is key to be surviving this and starting to rebuild.

    If there’s any of you who are closet dorks who like board games and the like, get at me! I’m optimistic about the future. But it’s an overwhelming feeling right now.

    It feels old to me, I'm leaving the 20's where I could drink ****loads and not get a hangover. Not sure I'll get away with that anymore. :(

    Hi mate. That’s really tough, but I know what it’s like (well, not exactly, but I’ve been through 2 seriously tough divorces - the last one particularly nasty) so, I’m here to listen if you need some positivity. It would be great to meet up - we’ve been talking about it for a while, so you coming back over here woukd be a great opportunity to do that. And, of course, to try and lend a hand in any way.
    Look forward to it!
