It's the poor what gets the blame


The only time I have been close to depression was about six years into a 10 year stint on the dole about 25 years ago.
I remember sitting in an icy flat watching the adverts on the telly and thinking 'This one doesnt apply to me.That one doesnt apply to me.That one doesnt apply to me.This one doesnt apply to me.That one doesnt apply to me.'

Soul destroying is about right

I would have sold the telly and bought some books with the money instead.

funny enough, it was a time when local libraries were under the cosh. They were selling off their stock for 5p a book. I used to buy them in bundles of 20
I went to the local woodyard and got half a dozen offcuts and put book shelves all over the flat.
When I finally moved , I had to leave hundreds n hundreds behind.
I read every one of those suckers at least three times

That accounts for why you're soft in the head.
Reading Mills and Boon several times does that to people.

Just heard that the police are looking for someone who is very clever, funny and great in bed. You are safe but where the fck am I going to hide

Then we need a depression. In a depression the rich are bought down to the level of the poor.

That response took more than 2 hours? I rest my case.

That's £2:37. Any maths books in there?

You ain't the type to buy books - you borrow them in local library. You'd borrow them from your friends, but you ain't got any...
