ousefox Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 What posessed you to turn down Durham for Newcastle?Social life was one of the main reasons, which I didn't get at Newcastle either. Looking back it seems like such a stupid decision, especially when I got accepted on two different courses there. Like I said, I'm happy with how it's ended up so barely think about it.
Voll Blau Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Anyone else have Disco 2000 playing in their head when they read the stories on this thread?
Finnegan Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Non, je nais regrette rien. Actually, my choice of uni / course leading to student debt, dropping out and depression. That wasn't clever. Nor was taking a loan out for my Japan trip that I'm still paying back. Or refinancing that loan Christmas before last because I overspent on presents and beer and I'm now paying it back to 2017 when I should have finished by now. Loads of stuff with women, loads more stuff with beer and money. Basically, I'm a ****ing idiot with serious impulse control problems. Anyone else have Disco 2000 playing in their head when they read the stories on this thread?
Fox92 Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 I think fox92 might have one to post in here.... lol Indeed.

Finnegan Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 DJ Finnygun - Stuff With Beer and Women and Money I like it. Also, Finnygun is actually in my autocorrect without me ever having written it. Good work guys.
ramboacdc Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 got offered a job working as an ICT assistant at a college. i had just found out i was expecting my daughter and grabbed the first full time job i could get (assistant manager at coral.) turned it down because i had a future in the gambling career path. biggest professional mistake ever made. i also suffer from social anxiety so i have 4-5 "mistakes" in my head daily that i end up having to calm down about. luckily my girlfriend helps me through them. yesterdays stemmed from hearing through the grape vine the managing director did not like the fact i wore a small silver ear ring. looking back now, nothing major. at the time, panic attacks, tablets needed. oh the fun of having my head!
ramboacdc Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Xanax? i am trying to get off them so currently im down to herbal medication to try and ween off. been through citalopram, sertraline, xanax, diazepam (jesus that stuff!) CBT counselling and intensive counselling. i have peaks and troughs. currently im on the way up so trying to get out of relying on drugs. hell at one point i used codeine...bad idea!
bovril Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Hitched a lift with a Turkish truck driver near Gallipoli.
Finnegan Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 Diazepam Citalopram pointless shit. Did nothing but stop me pissing. What sort of stupid side effect is that?
ScouseFox Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 id take a drug that's main effect was stopping me pissing tbf
Finnegan Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 I should clarify, you still WANT to piss. You just can't. Standing at the urinal after a skilful, feeling ready to burst going arrrrggghhhhh. Not good. Pretty sure what you want is just Es.

Crinklyfox Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 I've made many mistakes in my life but few of which I've been ashamed but here's one. I used to live in London when I went to college. Late one evening I was walking out of Earls Court tube station (Warwick Road entrance, the quieter side) and I saw a couple of drunk gay guys, arm in arm, swaying towards me and the tube. There were a couple of gay bars in the area so it wasn't unusual. Anyway as they passed me one of lunged towards me and tried to kiss me and I decked him before my brain had gone into first gear, it was totally primal. He was crying and his friend was calling me a bitch and I just walked away, I was so ashamed. I'm usually not a violent person by nature and consider myself to be pretty tolerant to the ways of others. I kept telling myself that I should have dodged, made a joke of it and left, instead I reacted like an animal. The learning point for me was that I should think before I act. That incident was over 30 years ago and I've not hit another person since.
Xen Posted 3 March 2015 Posted 3 March 2015 I dated a girl once in my gcse years, despite already being well aware at the time that I swung the other way... 8 months of keeping up false pretences, and I still have no idea why. Since found out that she's also came out since (biromantic, asexual), and also developed rapid-cycling bipolar disorder. Thankfully I wasn't her last boyfriend, so I wasn't bad enough to be the one who made her realise she didn't like men, haha

If you did what you believed was reasonable to defend yourself from a sexual assault then I struggle to see why you would be ashamed? Unless are saying that, in hindsight, you overreacted? If a bloke tries to grab and kiss a woman walking down the street would you expect her to just laugh it off?

Unless are saying that, in hindsight, you overreacted? If a bloke tries to grab and kiss a woman walking down the street would you expect her to just laugh it off? i thought this. surely if he had kissed him it would be a sexual harassment if not an assault. its primal if someone is in your personal space and you dont want it to either lunge away or attack it. i wouldn't be ashamed by it either. but i could see why if the "victims" boyfriend was calling him a bitch. OP was defiantly within his rights to crack him one. . he is gay. he was with a girl when he was younger and she has now become asexual and a bit on the mentally unstable side.
