Lonely life vs family life ( Archived) (12)

Which life is better?

There's a huge difference between being alone and being lonely.

Living alone in England......is soul destroying. The powers that rule us have made it impossible. To socialise. Where. I. Live is dead from the. Neck up. If you drive. One and a half pints is the limit........go over that. And you are caught. .it's points on your Lisence with a hefty fine.........,..if you park wrong again. It's a fine. A. Pint of beer cost nearly. Five pounds a pint. .if your in company. Say six people. Paying for a round is a bout. 30/40pound.......as a pensioner. That's to rich. For me . I do miss the good times.......... one. Coulddrive for miiles. And be no better off..............this country has. Gone to the dogs.,...........shame.

Have you ever thought of joining a gym, tru? Loads of old geezers go to my gym seem to spend half the day in the steam room and the sauna. A membership works out highly affordable if you go often enough, you don't even really have to work out.

Not a bad idea Ches.

Similar problems here Tru, and we hardly have a pub culture neither.
Not long ago a childhood friend of mine moved to Argentina.
I don't expect him back anytime soon hehe.

My father died a very lonely man after his gf over 13 years left him and his last ten years he was alone. I visited him every sunday for those ten years but that ofcourse was a bare minimum of sociale and could not by a longshot cover the emptyness. Thankfully he had interests in different culturelle things like collecting and paying close attention to news and updates. But stil... always alone.
No something is wrong 'up here' mate. By the way I'd pop over tomorrow for a coffy and perhaps a game of chess if I lived in England.

I'm sure somebody will find a problem with it. There's no room for positive steps in this wallowing grief hole

Yea, f 'em.
