Why do you live mate? Seriously. What do you enjoy doing? You just seem to be happy to 'exist' - as you put it. What's the point?

One hand your having a head wobble over a government telling people what is essential, now your having a head wobble about how people conduct their lives, do as I say not what I do!
 
Last few pages have been a mess here.

If people want to moan about not being able to do things they enjoy then let them. What’s the issue? I can’t go the match, my game of football has been cancelled, I can’t go the boozer and I’ve had three holidays binned off. It’s rubbish, you can’t expect people to be happy with the situation and crack on in ignorance.

But why do I keep seeing BLM crop up in this thread. What does that have to do with anything?
I disagree. They've crystallised a fundamental division in thinking about what values we should retain or ditch in the face of this pandemic.

It's been a good debate.

FFS...

That wasn't my point. I don't care what Nymz does. If he's happy, safe, that's fine. Good for him. The way he worded his post was that people should be happy with existence.

My question was in that regard. He made it sound like he's happy just to exist. That clearly isn't the case. Nobody is happy just to 'exist'.

Right, I'll leave it at that because I feel like your post needed a response. I wasn't calling him out for how he lives his life, not one bit. I don't know the guy. But I'm not having someone saying people should just be happy with existing.
 
Not saying nymz is one of them but there are loads like that. they are ok with not dying, just existing, doing nothing, enjoying nothing, constantly living in fear. For them is every day they wake up to is a plus because they are alive. I have never felt like that, if I can't fill a day, then it's awful. If I can fill my next 5 years to the fullest, I am ok with being dead at 33, but if I will be living miserably, not enjoying anything I originally love, 80 years won't cut it, it can go to a bin.
Heres another way of viewing it: some people dont need to be validated by their relationship to commodities and paid for 'services' to feel alive.
 
So.............My Uncle is getting buried on Wednesday and I have been sent a link to be able to watch the service etc on line. I don't mean to sound morbid but has anybody else heard of this service available in the U.K.

Yea, we "went" to my cousin's funeral online the other month because numbers were restricted, and it was also a six hour round trip, otherwise we'd have stood outside and listened to the service.

It was a bit weird to be honest, and I felt quite detached from it, but it was better than nothing.

I'm 1800 miles away and in normal times I would be carrying him. I will be suited and booted and have a drink afterwards(as if I am there) Thank You mate.
 
Does anybody think seriously that the tory filth give a [Poor language removed] about northern england , i hear jake berry right wing populist for rossendale crying about lack of financial support for kids etc , does any body believe this fraud who got elected because of - lets get brexit done mantra- these right wing clowns are taking the mickey big time

We had a bit of a Zoom wake, which again, felt a bit odd, but worked pretty well. At some point in time, we'll get together and celebrate his life properly, but I'll need to get some drinking practice in first, cos his missus and sister can both drink me under the table !

Nah, that's not it mate. You do not feel good just because you wake up. You do because there are things you are looking forward to. And some people now tell me that not being dead is in essence a fantastic thing, I should be grateful and don't ask for more.

Otherwise, I hate luxury, my phone is a cheap ass one, it goes 1,5/2 days without needing a charge, I live a simple, modest life. I'm with you on that front.
