Happy Christmas Miles ( @Gandalf ). Apologies for calling you a cunt. Have a lovely Christmas.
Mary Fistus Miles. :D
메리 크리스마스 마일 :cool:
Gandolf is born on christmas eve and andre on christmas day. Great fellas. :)
Thank you for the apology and the same in return as I said bad things at the start of that thread too. People say bad words, people respond with more bad words, and before you know it Dante's Inferno has set the forum alight.
Happy Christmas to all and I hope you are all fine and being nice to your families (including your Mother in-law and strange Uncle Bertie). I am going to be quieter for awhile as I need a break. I guess I burned myself out with stress over recent months and where most people look to relax outside of that to burn off the stress, I have been coming on to this forum taking all kinds of abuse. A bad mix, and so a rest from all things toxic. Just some gentle language study and private reading. It's a little how I imagine Syd Barrett started to live (don't call me out on that, note the word 'little').
That is my Christmas gift to you all, a little peace and quiet. Enjoy. ;)
I look forward to reading more great posts from you 2014. :)Quote:

Having just been voted off the site for good, I should do that. In shock really. Off I go.
See you soon. ;)Quote:

He has made a thread where he and smashup will be voted out like the reality big brother show. He lost but he fortunately has a tendency of coming back when he cools down. :)Quote:

Miles will be back and that's a fact,! don't worry this place is like a drug he NEEDS his fix of SaddoQuote:

home indeed he does.;)
What if he finds God while he's away. That would be terrible for us. If he comes back all lovey dovey I'm leaving.
My plan is to start the self ban on Jan 1st and hopefully, find a new me in that time. A little how Gandalf changed from the gray to the white. A new perspective and a new robe and the absence of beard dye. I need to learn to be more communal as I used to be long ago, instead of this nihilist, burning on his own fractured past. Basically, a strongly opinionated person, but who will treat others better, who will suggest change rather than hammer it home with a rusty nail into an open eye socket.
Quite serious on the book idea. My upbringing is very Oliver Twist and would put to rest some of the notions that I was middle class. Seeing as I have given up sharing anecdotes on here already, it is best to use them as the basis of a series of books. The first would be from rags to nail polish.The story of a poor child jumbled, city to city, never having any stability, eventually moving half way across the country to a different universe where people spoke like Geoffrey Boycott. They put down family dog, the parental breakup, the homelessness, the eventual house where baby sister gets the big bedroom and me the tiny box, school absenteeism because of misery, made up illness to avoid school. Such a heartbreaking tale of hopelessness, but then eventually he discovers rock and roll and wears black nail polish to an economics class where he is called up to draw a diagram on the board. Whatever, will happen at this juncture? Some of the anecdotes could be very funny, but will I have the commitment, dunno, but I certainly have the time.Quote:

Miles your back, why don't you write a book on your outlook on life.:)Quote:

This is something I have been genuinely thinking about. It's just about what to work on first. A friend suggested that 'The anonymous guide of why to never to teach in a Korean University' would be great. It would just be a reworked version of the email rants I sent him over the past two years. Together, it must be at least a novelette. He says it's very funny, in an eccentric way, but it's the honesty that holds it together. He knows as he has been in the country's tertiary sector too.Quote:

I have other ideas too, and will either tackle some, focus on one, or do bugger all.
