I can honestly say that I have never been bored in my entire life.  I don't understand how it's possible to be bored - surely you can always find something to occupy yourself? 

It can be boring on your own especially at this time of year perhaps visit friends or have them round to your place or just chill and enjoy the rest

Well I've washed the pots, mopped the kitchen floor, hung my washing out, now gonna write my xmas cards, that should take all of 15 minutes, then watch crap tv. I am off to see some freinds in town at 3, then pub, so it's working out alright.

Are you back now? I know how you feel, when you are so used to working and get some time off you wonder what to do with yourself. I always find things to do, but i remember when i had no kids etc i was bored too

I wasn't bored till I read this thread.

Well away and do something, leave us boring folk alone

Good lord..

Suppose you get Poolie or you don't.

I do. Booger off if he bores you I say. 

FFS I had to google chrome to quote you ya bugger!
WTF is your problem with this young man ????
So he got bored! Unlike Growlybear - haven't we all been there ???
Gawn tell me your life has been so bluddy exciting!!!

Go slim go!  

Slim  

Wot Scotty said

He is a grown man in his 30's

He said he was bored - some of us commented...

are we not allowed to be incredulous or do we have to perpetually say "there there?"

Sorry Slim - love you to bits but Poolshark is a grown man not a little boy.

I see wot you say Scarlet - but the man has every right to say as he feels without criticism from his so called forum pals! or am I wrong ? are we not pals here ?
Plus am not sure he is in his thirties - and just minus his Mum!
Lubs yoo too

Young man? Sounds more like a child to me. My life is exciting enough thanks, but if it wasn't I wouldn't be on here telling everyone I'd done the washing up, cleaned the floor and was bored and sitting back waiting for fake mum's to show up to tell me it was all going to be alright and pat me on the head.

It's an internet forum slim. You make a thread, people will comment. You won't always hear what you want to hear it's that wonderful thing about us all having different views and personalities isn't it?

I agree Scarlet.

Lots of people twice and half his age get bored >  They also get away with posting a lot of boring stuff that folks don't tell them is boring>    What a shower of moaning whingey mingeys >  Still it's very amusing to watch the egos that have landed  

He is in his thirties and had he had posted a thread about his mum or being down or anything like that then fair enough
BUT he petulantly said he was bored - why should we support that?

The great thing about this place is that we can feel free to criticise. I have supported Poolie on other threads - this one I felt that he was being ridiculous...

Couldn't agree more Prom - some more likeable than others !
And you are right - IF your life was that bit more exciting then why wud you be here ???

So what if he`s grown man Scarlett? He`s allowed to express how he`s feeling. He was feeling bored and he told us. Why would anyone be incredulous about that? I don`t get it. 
And no, you don`t have to say "there there" he wasn`t asking for that. 
He`s not been having an easy time of it lately - cut him some slack.

Think you may have missed that one .....
The fella has made no bones about the way he feels about missing his Mum! 
Being a Mum - can't help but feel for the boy - no matter how old!

Okay....

*bows out*

Slim, I feel we are here because we've all been a bit of a small community for some years and can trust each other. That shouldn't mean that we always agree (as you don't agree with prom in this instant), but we don't seem to have raving rows anymore and I think that's great. I like prom, I like poolie, it's no big deal. Group hug?  

Fer sure he's not bored now > he's having a good night out with his pals hopefully >  hope your heads's ok in the morning big man 

So here you are outraged at the terrible treatment of poor Poolie and you've just insulted the entire forum with that remark 

Slim, I've never heard poolshark talk about his mum. Are you sure you are not getting mixed up with our darling Rawkey? Just a thought, please excuse if I'm completely wrong.

I didn`t see it as being petulant at all.
Strange thing is that the critisisers came in after he had posted that things were looking better. 

I don't remember the whole forum stating they had nothing better to do - like you did - so to speak!
you kin tart it up all you like Prom but the folk on here back each other up no matter what - human beings is what we are - with human foibles!

FGS cant we share our feelings then? I thought most of us knew each other, its not exactly a huge forum. plus whats wrong with people being down? I am of the school of thought that if you cant say something nice dont say anything. And if a thread isnt to your liking dont read it , i dont see the point of being nasty for the sake of it

As I said further up Sky.

Great to see this forum never changes - another day another row - and for once it isn't me in the firing line.  It's actually rather funny!!

Skylark 

Cologne ! I admire your indivduality 
But I lurk a great deal & believe me Poolie has mentioned the loss of his Mother on more than one occasion!

Clearly not because if we comment
on anything that Poolshark posts we are out of order.
I have supported him on more than one occasion but the moment I disagree I feel that I am picked on for daring to disagree.
I know he has lost his Mum and that is awful.. but how many of us on here are also carrying huge burdens of grief?
He is darn lucky to have 2 weeks off over xmas. He is darn lucky to have a job in this climate and he moans that he is bored..

That right there is the problem. Anyone with a differing opinion is the Spawn Of Satan. Seriously, all I said was the thread bored me and slim had an absolute fit. It's beyond ridiculous.

Sorry slim, I stand corrected.

Slim and fit in the same sentence > you fancy her don't ya
