A quick PS on Luton Hoo.

I cannot find reference to it at the mo, but I believe that just after WW11 ended, Winston Chruchill hosted a "Victory Party" there - & over 100,000 people turned up to hear the great man give forth.

That Luton Hoo is a fabulous old great house judging by the photos, I'd never heard of it before.

Adam and Brown is a fair old partnership, I bet Chippendale played in midfield too.

Lovely piece sir.

Thanks Ralph.

Maybe we could arrange a "Miserable Gits" day out there - you, Mr Trumper, Tom & myself.*

* Arrange those 4 names....

a) In age order

b) In weight order.

Whilst I write up a Post, can anyone name this Gent?

Very famous, back in the day, & in a sort of odd way, & totally unconnected with his fame, today is the 50th anniversary of something he was in from it's very beginnings. Legal beginings, I mean.

The last I heard, he was still alive.

Mostly fair comment. I'm not sure, even if I sad so, that "depression" is the right word, I'm deffo not depressed, depressed is self-pity in many cases, there's none of that. 

I just don't understand, I suppose that's it really. Why the need to say such a thing? "just a comment", that makes it OK? Really?

You are right about online personna v live personna though, in so many cases, I could name a 100 who are incredibly good company in real life, & arseholes online. 101 if you count me.....Wink

Nobody else seems bothered, but I think they are - they just don't want to put their head above the parapet.

I just needed to say what I thought, & as I freely noted, maybe I am looking at it wrong. I generally mull over these things for a few days, in peace & quiet, & the right answer just slowly forms in my mind. This time, I felt the need to comment.

Have you ever, in life, added up the pros & cons of having friends, proper friends, close friends? The pain & the pleasure? I'd need to study that ledger closely before knowing which side it falls. In a full life, friends have given me so much happiness, &, when things go wrong, so much hurt.

*Sigh

Comments like this sadden me very much and are a disservice to the tens of thousands of people suffering with mental health problems each and every day Sad

Rather than troll your dairy I'll cover it on mine...when i get chance obv.

Lovez ya Teek, you know that but I can't and won't agree with this..It's a disease just like any other, it just happens to be invisible to outsiders.

Just catching up - megan fox is an actress.

The reason that prompted me to catch up at this time is that I just flicked it over to sky and the first hand I saw was tiltbean's aces get cracked by j6 in an 1100 pot. Great tv! Smiley

Yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't use words well enough to express my elation at it getting put in Beaneh's eye.

Possibly a more accurate way of saying it would be - when people say they are depressed it's self pity in many cases. Which is often very different from when people are actually suffering from depression.
