"Catch it!"
Posts: 6,840
Today I felt terrible I woke thinking my wife would be laying, beside me and I would be able to put my arm round her. But no I couldn’t it was just lonely me I got up, and walked to the shower. I washed myself nice and clean, so I didn’t smell then I got dressed, in some nice clothes. Even though no one would really care I was wearing nice clothes. I went out the house and walked down the street, I walked along looking down at the floor, feeling sorry for myself.

Like I normally do every single day; every single second, minute, hour. I feel sorry for myself and I have never stopped. I have been acting like this since my wife went; we had been together for 10 years. She stopped it to go off with some other man, so now I hate her. I walk down the road kick some rubbish along. I walk into the café I go into every morning, to have my breakfast. I go in and ask for the usual bacon, egg, sausages and a nice warm cup of tea.

I shove it down me then walk out, I walk down to work I work in a little tiny office, where there’s no air conditioning and it’s boiling. Well the things to do today, walk up loads of stairs to my office because the lifts broken, then turn on my computer and wait for five damn minutes for it to load, then sit down and type up a load of horrible work. So I walk into the office no one greeting me I go and sit down, turn on the computer and wait for it to load. I go and open a window, when I look back round a woman is walking into the office. A woman I had never seen before with long blonde straight beautiful hair, her face so nice her eyes look glazed she was beautiful and I wanted her.

I went over to Mike “Who’s that woman” I asked. “What that one” He answered. “No the other Woman there” I answered “O she’s Sal” he told me. “Oh she’s beautiful. I didn’t need anybody anymore I had found the perfect person and she was great.

I don't think there is good or bad. Just peoples opinions aka I think something is good. And i think it would be good if people would stop insulting other peoples work and just start telling them how to improve.

That's the poorest reply I ever did read, and so many of your points are just completely irrelevant.

Good and bad exist. People can improve.
I play guitar. According to you, I'm no better now than I was 2 and a half years ago, because there is no 'good' or 'bad'.

I wouldn't think it is particularly 'good', but that's not stopping the person(s) responsible(or my family for that matter) from thinking it's not bad. So it would be neither. Anyone would probably choose peace(being dead) over suffering anyway. Although, in order for this person to kill my entire family they would have to come to us, Empingham, Stamford, Birmingham, America and a lot of places that not even I know of(not forgetting that they might not even know who or where my family are). I don't even know why they would bother with all that running around in the first place.

If everyone thought it was bad then no-one would do it anyway-but yes, if there is absolutely no other option then it actually would be bad. Although, unfortunately that will probably never happen.

Does 'dab' mean 'bad' by any chance? If so then it would obviously have the same definition. Many people thought Hitler's ideas were good. Then again, many thought they were bad. Just like someone can't both enjoy a cake and hate it at the same time- good and bad can't both be right at the same time. So the same would probably go for 'doog' and 'dab'.

I didn't say people couldn't say they hate it. If you do, you do- but that doesn't mean you should just insult someone's work. Would you prefer it if someone said "This is crap! You shouldn't have written it, and you never should have written any of your other stories either!"?

They can? Okay then... tell me, how do you get rid of touretts syndrome(don't know how to spell it, and personally don't really care)? What about Epilepsy, etc.?

Anyone can "expand their knowledge", but does that neccaccarily make them 'a better person'?(Besides, I said perfect, not better)

Like the use of capitals there, really puts the emphasis on the wrong place.

if you can't be bothered reading them, don't ask what they're about.
No-one is going to explain to you if you're not actually interested, it would just be a waste of time. Moron.
