What is your greatest fear?

[Leicester_Loyal]

Never meeting the right person to have a family with.

 

Still got a good 2 decades of being able to produce kids though thankfully (as far as I know)

 

In normal terms I hate heights, weirdly I used to like them as a kid.

For me, it's old age.

 

I don't mean the number on my passport, I mean physical decrepitude; I literally lose sleep over it.

i always wondered/worried about old age. Now that I have reached that point, I realise how right I was. It's horrible.

Really is that your worse fear?

Depends what I've written and in which thread. Could be disastrous under some circumstances....

I'm not dismissing it at all, everyone's fear is obviously fearful for them, but strangely this is OK with me. It focuses you, and gives you the opportunity and drive to do things that you probably would otherwise have put off if you didn't know otherwise, and then potentially wouldn't have fulfilled. Obviously just weeks would be horrific, but years? That's OK.

Drowning, burning and less horrific being blamed for something I've not done. I'm not talking petty little things I mean serious. I was blamed for setting a fire in the school when I was a kid (which had absolutely nothing to do with me) and I was treated like a criminal! It was like a murder trial and the head teachers turned Into the CIA, Screaming at me to admit it and I'm in a lot of trouble. From that moment on I've sort of had a fear of it. True story 😂

My wife was the local bike before I met her and I'm always thinking about how I 'measure up' to the hundreds she had before me.

 

Consider yourself lucky 

 

Like a pencil disappearing up a wizards sleeve is what I heard.

Standard stuff for me really. Family members passing away, drowning, burning.

 

I think about growing old alone a fair bit, that sucks really.

Like chucking a sausage up the Dartford Tunnel

[HighPeakFox]

Falling from a great height. Living in an Orwellian state.

[NasPb]

Another big fear is having your plane shot down because it passes through a war zone. Idk

I wish your wife would secretly sign up to this forum 

[RowlattsFox]

I've always feared going blind. The thought of not being able to see gives me nightmares. 

 

That and Witches 

[Babylon]

Can't say anything is lurking in the back of my mind to the point of being a fear, I feel pretty fortunate in life. 

 

But the thought of losing my Mum or something happening to my lad is pretty shit.

Chucking a sausage up Charles Street? Sounds like a deviant assault, unless you checked with him first.

A work colleague who spouted that a lot also reckoned his opening chat up line was  "Can I have a shit in your handbag please "

Injections.  And I'm still not one of the namby pambies whining about the Covid vaccinations.

Grim. 

I'm assuming he died alone? Or lives alone? 

 

Maybe it's better that eye to eye communication is dying out...

I used to be terrible but have gotten better over time, to the point that I'm possibly the most relaxed dude on the plane. 

 

I don't belive all that guff about fainting or lungs exploding or velocity change or cold killing you in milliseconds and you wouldn't know a thing about it. MH70 in Ukraine found a passenger with his/her oxygen mask on. And Lockerbie, I think. 

 

There's something rather poignant but also uplifting about the human spirit and determination to survive that, as you plummet 500mph towards the ground with the plane disintegrating around you, you hope donning a mask might save you. Personally, I'd be trying to grab some champagne from business.

 

Anyways, happy flying!

You're right there.

A couple of years ago, I read a detailed account about Lockerbie ... and what happened to everyone on board.   

Seriously unpleasant reading, and enough to put anyone off being in a flying aluminium tube 6 miles up in the Sky.

The kids walking in when I’m having a crafty tommy. 

[tom27111]

Snakes and flying.

 

I get about 20 messages to "turn on Channel 4" if Snakes on a plane is on TV 🙄

 

Not that keen on the thought of dying either really.
