That's the problem taking it easy boredom just doing nothing ,TV is so bad never watched so much and the News channels all have the same stuff what about more home grown problems rather than problems from half way round the world ,just a thought

Thats one thing I'm not looking forward to. I'm not happy unless I'm cycling , walking or kayaking. Sat around watching TV etc..I agree its total trash. I guess I'll have to resort to computer games!..yikes. I think I'll try and learn italian...

Best wishes

Aidan,

thats why the site is called Click! Tick! THUMP! After 9 years when I am tired or stressed I still get the THUMP! factor... but rest assured you do learn to live with it - and it will NOT jump out of your chest..although sometimes it feels exactly as if it is going to! Happy New Year!

 

cheers

 

Graeme
