I spent ages staring at the BBC News site

Did you know David Cameron has resigned and Bowie is dead ?

I am surprised some didn't take up smoking again .
maybe time to speak to the wife husband girlfriend or even get some sleep.
It still amazes me how much people rely on the internet to socialise and communicate
Yes its good and it can be informative but I think taking face to face with people gives us a better understanding of our local community..

Got to admit, I did miss this place.

Cold showers and alcohol

Getting ready for Christmas. And spending some of it on my back with metal rings around my wrists.

Did you not get the email detailing the new secret forum ?

At first I didn't realise what had happened and thought it was frozen, after 2 or 3 revisits I decided to find out elsewhere what had happened to DS (I realise now I should have just read the pinned post *doh*) anywho on a site quite oft mentioned on here I discovered it was the "upgrade" causing the problems. I did think that I might stay on that site for the few days but was bored absolutely shitless so decided to get on with life and wait for DS to come back again.

I've been reading Dreamwave Transformers comics and working.

I thought I was banned ☺️

I went out in the street and talked bollocks to strangers.

Indeed, but it's been mainly raining round my way. Not going out in that, even if it is just to mouth off at some inconsiderate b'stard.

I understand my local community perfectly well, thanks, which is why I don't want to communicate with it.

I haven't been back on since the announcement. Don't usually post in the evenings but spending tonight having wrapping presents and drinking wine before the Christmas do tomo night. Came back expecting it all to be changed.

But it HAS all changed! How much wine have you drunk?

I watched the Apprentice without reading the discussion forum. It was terrible

Please don't scare me. I just re-freshed about 10 times

Oh, I didn't know it was down as it co-incided with my internet being down anyway, bloomin' Plusnet

I've been too busy Christmas shopping this past couple of days but I would really feel sad if DS didn't exist anymore and would miss my daily lurk.

The last 6 weeks or so I've only managed a couple of posts a week as been busy. But other times it has been a lifesaver. When awaiting deliveries to the site, or just bored. I don't mind admitting I would miss it. It annoys me when others act superior "why do you need Ds" whilst posting here themselves. I said in another post I don't post in the evenings and I don't think I ever have, so this is a first for me. It's much calmer

Yes, I really missed it. I can now add a post to the 'Trivial Things which really annoy you' - namely, the use of the word 'gotten'. I hate it and isn't necessary in the English language.

Whaaaa.....?

I almost started a trivial things that annoy me topic on tumblr because I was having withdrawal symptoms

It did concern me how much I missed the forum considering I've got the whole rest of the internet out there to distract me, I did find myself bored at times.

I also saw a few announcements or news stories and thought to myself damnit I can't see what the good folks at DS think about this revelation.

I was busy doing other things (like studying!) so I didn't really have time to look at DS. I managed!

I just spoke to the voices in my head to pass the time.

Our internet has been broken at home so I've spent the evenings catching up on programmes I want to watch properly as opposed to having them on in the background and posting on here
