Yeah near New Street. Can't remember the name of the pub but they had lots of real ales. I'm not up in Brum much for work, maybe 4 times a year.

Closed here too because the wind is warping and cracking the windows.

bitch I'm taking calls.
The Briar Rose is the only one I can think of but I think that's a Wetherspoons now. There's one just outside New Street station which is an 'individual' pub. I can't remember the name of it but my ex and I went there for a meal and a drink on a night out and we got refused service for pudding because my ex didn't have ID with her as the pudding contained booze - but they'd been serving us drinks all night. Birmingham, mane, it's a crazy place.
On an unrelated note, my first ever 'sext' has just been sent. I feel really weird sending it, it's like...I don't know. It just feels weird simply texting my girlfriend, telling her what I'd do to her. I'd much rather, you know, actually be doing it to her.

Great track though. And yeah Bill Hicks is a legend.

Haha, this amused me greatly.
Chilled late night tunage peeps:
Lamb - Trans Fatty Acid (Kruder & Dorfmeister mix)
Howling winds and torrential rain outside is so lush to fall asleep to, it's just so comforting to know how horrible it is outside while your all tucked up in bed! A warm bodied female to snuggle with would be nice, but such is life eh?

Had to be coaxed off a bridge last night by the police in the local bay
Probably would have jumped or at least gone into the bay, but someone phoned them.
Not sure what to think. I'm still having to go to work today, and I've still got no idea if I still want to continue with things
Nothings or no one is helping me

jesus dude, I don't even know what to say to that. What is it you're looking for by posting that here? Do you want us to give you sympathy, or advice? Did you just feel you needed to get it off your chest? Do you want to talk to someone? I can give you all of these things.
I'm sorry things are so bad in your life that you feel it has come to something as drastic as this. I thought things were looking up for you? From your last few posts it seems your job was going really well and you were happy with things? That sort of up and down mood swing is a clear sign of manic depression, so my advice would be get to your doctor asap. Tell him exactly how you're feeling, what you've been going through, and ask him for help. He can prescribe drugs, or point you in the direction of a professional you can talk to.
If you want to talk to someone more in depth about your problems/feelings please pm me, I have a lot of experience with these matters and am a very good listener.
But do not do nothing, you clearly need help.
You picked up TxK yet?
Under a fiver and the perfect way to melt your eyeballs. Can't recommend it enough.
Edit: woah, missed the solemn stuff above. Get well soon, rich.
Rich, I don't know you but please listen to Musha.
I know what it's like to want to do the 'big thing' - I've tried and failed in the past - but things DO get better. If I can help in anyway just ask.
Hey Rich, just to echo what others are saying, you need to speak to someone who can help you with your feelings, don't bottle it up and I hope you'll be in a better mindset soon.

Not to detract from your woes, I found out my uncle died recently and I've been trying to organise a quick return for the funeral next week. As soon as I've booked a flight to Edinburgh I get a weather alert on my phone announcing high gales and I may as well have just stood at the top of a hill with my coat billowed out to let the wind carry me instead.

Rich, depression is horrible to deal with and feels impossible to shake, but know that when you're actually approaching attempts at suicide is when you're coming out of depression a lot of the time.
Things are never as bad as they seem (and I know how desolate things CAN seem), you just need to find the right help, whether it's counselling, medication or even just changing your life balance.
I know that sounds bollocks and unhelpful. My mum used to just tell me that I needed to change my diet and sleep more when I was cutting myself and when I attempted as a teenager and it feels like your issues are being brushed off and made to seem insignificant. I'm not saying that though.
I just want you to know that your life is a whole lot more valuable and important to those around you than your problems are insurmountable.
Talk to somebody. Talk to me if there's nobody you'd rather talk to, just don't let yourself feel like this without doing something positive.

...wait, what kind of professional? Does, ahem, 'wet work' count?

Please tell me after taking that picture you picked up the head and went about your day with it. Something that wonderful cannot be left on the street, it needs to be claimed.
The only wet work you do is when you have to wipe down your Vita after giving it a pearl necklace.
Sadly that picture is not mine but the street that it's supposedly on is about 5 mins away from my place. Tempted to see if it's still there after work or - at least - turned into a shrine.

Hell, before reading Rich's post I was about to say "I have no biscuits in the office, time to find a bridge". But I'm tactful innit.
Get well Rich, we're with you man.
BGBW, what does your name mean? It sounds like a sexual acronym, like BDSM or BBW.

Rich, I won't attempt to offer help or consolation as I'm an emotional cripple and my soul is an empathetic vacuum, but I hope you get the professional help you clearly need. Chin up buddy.
Here, have some more Op Ivy in return, you can never have too much:
Operation Ivy - Take Warning

Aww Mush! Genuinely had me laughing and grinning like an idiot. Bravo Soturi, bravo.

Jed, I very nearly posted "that" gif in the "white people can't dance" thread, but I chose to respect your wishes.
It would've shut the naysayers right up though innit.
Acrid has taken to calling me XBoi, I like it.

Rich, it goes without saying that I'm glad you were talked down. I'd hate to think one of our own is suffering so much they feel the need to take their life. Drop me, or any of us, a message when you can. It sounds cliche, I know, but having someone to talk to really does help. From experience, I recommend Musha or Mike. They're both great at listening and even better at giving advice. I'd be lost without their pearls of wisdom. Chin up, pal.

I thank you for your restraint. I don't know if I could take being turned into a 'lol white people' gif. Black people are so mean, man. So what if we can't dance and have tiny cocks
DO IT!
thanks guys
I've been given two days leave from work, and I've got an appointment with a specialist from bupa for a talk, just gotta phone them up.
its not good completely breaking down at work today, but at least im feeling better now. but last night, I would have jumped into the ravine if I hadn't heard my daughter on the phone.
I don't know what I was thinking - I didn't have any rational thoughts apart from just "fuck this, I can't deal with this anymore"
sigh
edit: i got mud all over the inside of the police car last night, oops

Yeah new Lobo sucks ass, totally trying to appeal to the Twilight market. They've done the same thing with lots of characters though, making Ollie Queen younger etc. I understand why they've done it, but original Lobo was so much more badass.

maybe it's just more of a problem in USA, but I've never had a problem. I've always found guys in comic book stores don't treat me any different to anyone else, they're always super friendly and happy to help out no matter who you are.

Yeah the one I go to has a woman working there as well and they've always been friendly to my ex when we go in. Now that I think about it most of the comic stores I've been to in the UK seem to have female staff working there.
Also I had a wisper gold today and there was a giant hole in the middle of the bar where the caramel was supposed to be. I don't even know how that was possible.
On the subject of depression, its a horrible thing to have to deal with. I'm still on citalopram and debating whether to come off since I relapsed quite quickly last time I came off. Been on and off it for nearly 4 years now since my anxiety attacks used to be so bad that I couldn't eat without chundering.

Occasionally I bite into a Kit Kat that has no wafer, it's just pure chocolate. Not unpleasant.
I hate that. It freaks me out.

Well when it happened to me for the first time the fabric of my reality did dissolve briefly.
The second time I just made a sound like an old lady hearing some juicy gossip.
