What has life taught you?

I think Ken was trying to be pithy and ironic.

Well here's his final grade

For the amount of times you complain about Moose and others being on the wind up you do a fair amount yourself to be honest.

'I'm not here for a long time, I'm here for a good time' has always been my motto

I certainly agree with not asking someone to do something you'd not do yourself as well.

[The Year Of The Fox]

Fair enough. Like many, you believe in absolute personal responsibility and every man being an island at all times. Other people do not.

Someone else in this thread has already said that people are that absorbed in what they're doing themselves that they've not got time to worry about other people. It's harsh but quite true. You have to look out for yourself and help yourself because no-one will do it for you.

None of us know lamby but going from what he says on here (sometimes I think he's a WUM it gets that bad) he really needs to sort himself out. 23 is young IMO, fcuk me I'm 27 next month and I feel about 16 still.

I was unemployed for about 3 months and it was easily the worst period of my life (apart from the week after Watford away ) No money, no job (luckily a bird but that made me feel even more useless being unable to take her out etc) and it was awful. I'd also call myself reasonably intelligent and pretty confident but unemployment knocked it out of me.

The facts are though he doesn't seem to want a job, any job. If he did get a job his depression would subside to a large extent of that I'm sure, as well as his lack of a missis etc. Let's face it, what bird wants to date a bloke without any money?

If I ever won the lottery I would still have to work during the week. Sitting at home (after travelling the world) would drive me insane even with the ability to do anything I wanted at any moment, so you're bound to start feeling a bit fcuked up couped up in the house all week.

Does that mean you can or can't ask your girlfriend for a blowie?

I dont ask, i force.

How are her broken hips??

First of all I must reiterate as i did at the time that 'fracture' was written on the blood tests. The xrays showed nothing, the specialists couldn't see anything, she was given some very strong painkillersand it ecentually wore off. Strange.

I said that to a girl once and she slapped me across the kisser .

Maybe she just didn't get the deeper philosophical meaning and thought i meant wham bam thank-you ma'am .

In all seriousness Lamby, I would say the best thing you can do is to find a pastime. Something, anything. You think your self-esteem and self-worth are going to improve on here? We drive our own fellow Foxes to distraction with the mostly good humoured abuse, with your state of mind it's going to be far more profound. You're not going to build the skills to get a job either, nobody's going to ask how many rep points you have on internet forums and how good your banter is. It sounds harsh, but it's true.

 

Get out there. Do some charity work, work with kids in some capacity. You'll find it so rewarding even if you aren't earning and are just volunteering. You'll feel as though you're making a difference to somebody's life and it could get you experience relevant to a job. Work Saturdays, Sundays or whatever day if you have to. You'll form friendships at work and realise there's more to life than waiting for 3pm on Saturday. 2-0 defeats at home to Yeovil won't ruin your whole week any more. You might meet a woman and if not, you'll meet friends. You're 23, not 53. Being in a relationship isn't the be all and end all. 

 

Alternatively, do an OU degree and expand your mind. You're nearly the same age as I was when I went to uni full time, and it's the best decision I ever made. I'm now teaching, studying for an MA and have long term plans to go into lecturing and/or academia. I developed more as a person in those three years at uni than I did in the five or six after I left school. 

 

There's more to life than internet forums and football. Dip your toe into the world around you, you've nothing to lose and everything to gain.

In life, i've learned to always keep the rhythm in your feet and a little party in your shoulders.

Never judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.

 

After that, who cares? He's a mile away and you've got his shoes.

first line fvcking meaningful

 

second line fvcking funny

Always take your socks off before your trousers and always pout your trousers on before your socks, that way you don't put the lady off to start with and you are better placed to run when her husband gets home.

Make sure you get the girls number on a night out so you're in the driving seat. I'm waiting for her to text me like a reet lemon haha, probably was never going to get one like, but still.

Write your own number on a bit of paper with 10 digits and tell her the last one is missing, she'll love the chase and you'll get one eventually.

From my own experience of drinking and meeting girls, back in the day, it's usually best to give neither your name, job, phone number, address or anything.

My top tip is to keep your vest on during sex as it always goes downhill if the girl you've hooked up with discovers the tattoo of your mum's face on your chest.

Don't tip toe through life to arrive safely at death.

 

Try to look as smart as you can.  

 

Don't take your family and friends for granted.

 

Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea about their life.

 

However good or bad your life is, things always change. Always.

 

Leicester is better than Nottingham. Fact.

Give anyone or anything an inch and they will always try and take a mile.

There's more satisfaction in having something earned and worked hard for than anything simply given on a plate.

Unless its a few million worth of gold bars

 

No seriously I agree better to work for your wealth than inheriting it
