Re: the imminent (Saturday 3rd November) quiz wot I'm running, if anybody can think of any good questions that I could include, all contributions will be gratefully received. Last time I looked, the rounds on the 1940s, 1990s and 2000s were fairly slim, and if anybody has any sports-related questions (bearing in mind this is specifically for the period 1930 - 2012) they're particularly welcome as it's a subject about which I know pretty much nothing...

Am disappointed...
Oct. 25th, 2012 09:03 amWas thinking I'd like to treat Sarah to tickets for the Six Nations. Have just found a site selling such tickets. The cheapest is £136. Each. I don't want to even think about typing in the more expensive prices I've found, but "more than my monthly disposable income" pretty much sums it up.
:-(
Maybe if I start saving now, I might be able to afford to buy her a ticket for one of the 2014 matches. If I save really well, I might be able to afford to buy two tickets so that I can go with her. That would be nice.

I still can't...
Oct. 25th, 2012 07:13 pm...let go of things people did to hurt me five years ago.
I want to, I need to, but right now - and for large chunks of the past five years - I've dredged up this stuff and turned it this way and that way in my mind to try to get some sort of handle on it, to try to understand why people I thought of as friends could be so fundamentally meanspirited, and it never works, and it just drives me deeper and deeper into a part of my depression that, more than any of the other parts, I wish would just go away.
Right now, I feel like a complete...mess-up. Substitute four-letter word of your choice for "mess," if you so please. But yeah. I'm my own worst enemy. I just can't seem to get rid of it.
Help?
