Post your thoughts (2021 Edition)

That's the problem with this forum when someone goes missing sadly you don't know if they've just gone inactive for a bit or something has happened IRL (much like yourself when you vanished) even more so with your problems

Thinking of what to do that's more productive lately instead of video games in my free time, which is a lot atm, i've started doing some fitness , thinking of learning a Lauguage perhaps online, try and self-teach much as possible using the interwebs resources, or if anyone has any ideas??

Probably going to try learn some swedish first, yes I know a lot of swedish speak english still, but it's still nice to know some, also one of the "easier" ones to learn I believe, and a old school friend who's from sweden orignally and went back there after few years of uni here, it would be good to visit him on holiday when the time is right as it's been years.. and sweden is beautiful

Decided I can spend more time doing productive things, than "waste life" on video games, now it's just the matter of finding said things to do.

Spent a good amount of time on videos games in the past, there's nothing wrong with it but I feel like I need to live and do more in the real world, and life is wasting away a little just spent on games, afterall- it's just pixels etc it means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks for that, I've decided to use that and pratice phrases via google translater Swedish voice > english text to make sure I say it right! I didn't notice but if you go over the swedish words it says it in speech so then i copy that into the translater until i get it right

en man och en kvinna a man and a woman is far as i've got so far- that's all I need to know right?

Duo Lingo keeps giving you tips as to how best to use it .
You might also now or later like to add something like this which is a new Swedish word every day

Plus find yourself a good online dictionary.
And if you can afford it buy a big Swedish- English dictionary
Did you enjoy my link to the 2 Ronnie's Swedish lesson?
Good luck with your learning!

Yes haha, and thank you very helpful much appreciated

I'm actually enjoying it so far, didn't think I would, can be a bit frustrating though, and i Know it'll take ages to get anywhere decent but heyho!

Still better than wasting time on games

who knows, I may even learn another more useful language after, although I know it's going to take forever.

Had my first Astra-zenica vaccine last Saturday. Only side-effect (I think!) was it made me tired, slept about five hours.
Anyone else?

Hi I havn't personally, but the rest of my family have, think i'll have mine in a few months or so depending how quick they get to my age group.

Brother- had the same as you was tired after he had the injection (had his before me even though younger due to asthma)
Dad and mum both felt a bit dizzy/hot at night time, but that's about it

I had mine a few weeks back. I felt achy for a couple of days, something which may not be that bad for most people. but given my normal medical issues, it was something I could have done without.

Had mine on Monday, didn't get any side effects other than feeling overly warm for about an hour and a half, my brother had his the same day and he went pretty rough for a few hours, like anything, they effect everyone differently, after my old man had his second he got a really sore and painful knee, not having done anything to it to make it like that the next day and it lasted for four days

Danny Kelly is a narcissistic, know-nothing bell end, who some including himself make out is the font of all knowledge and sense when it come to football and music (he loves name dropping and constantly informing everyone that he used to be the editor for NME).

He's currently hosting his weekly "Trans Euro Express" football show. They were talking about Portugal, namely their defence, and Fias and Pepe, whereby Danny Kelly basically said that Pepe isn't all that anymore, to which his guests said "Err Danny, did you not just see his MOTM performance in the CL where his team who were expected to be 'whipping boys' put out the mighty Juventus, led by the mighty Christiano Ronaldo?'.

Then "Vienna" by Ultravox got played as part of Danny Kelly's weekly ego stroking/musical 'homework' (songs with European city names in the title), to which he not only said he doesn't like it (he might have even said it was overrated), but he then showed his profound (lack of) musical knowledge by saying that the song spent many weeks at number one, when in fact it never reached number one in the UK as a result of being at number two for four weeks, with it being behind "Shaddap You Face" by Joe Dolce for three weeks, and behind "Woman" by John Lennon for a week.

All that would have been bad enough, but he then after playing "Barcelona" by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé, goes on to say "I dislike Freddie Mercury's voice in an extremely visceral way".

Danny Kelly you are a massive d-head who like many has somehow managed to attain a number of prominent, well paying positions despite being less knowledgeable, proficient and prone to talking sense than you and your 'fans' make out.

I've obviously got too much time on my hands/nothing better to do.

Some people just wind me up, especially hypocrites and those who like to blow their own trumpet and hold up their views/opinions to be superior to that of others, but who constantly do and say things which suggest the exact opposite is the case.

Watching the George floyd trial, makes me feel sick, how is he not pleading guilty i'll never know, and putting witnesses, family etc all through that again

Of which some are under 18... had a 9 year old on the stand earlier FFS

Disgusting they had to witness that in the first place

This is america.....

Can't imagine what will happen if he gets found not guilty..

What is it with people in this country being obsessed with alcohol? After all that has gone on, it seems that a lot of people's main focus/biggest concern now that restrictions have been eased is being able to get out asap and getting wasted. It seems that every tv program, radio station, newspaper, website etc are not only shoehorning the fact that people can (and in some cases should) now go out and drink/get wasted again into almost every topic/conversation, they all tend to make out as if that is big/clever/a good thing.

If people said/did the same about taking drugs, gambling, eating enough to make you morbidly obese etc it would be labeled as being disgusting, and would be clamped down on very swiftly, especially that first one, namely because it doesn't make money for anyone except the dealers.

People will suggest that I'm saying this because I'm not a drinker, but it has nothing to do with that. If I were to do something that wasn't a good thing (including drinking alcohol), I would never condone it, never mind actively encourage it. I've said for a while that there is going to be 'carnage' in the coming weeks and months as restrictions continue to ease and people binge drink and cause aggro even more than they previously were, and everything I've seen and heard in the last few days has me even more convinced that this is going to be the case/
