I'll add to my post...going into the toilets at the same time as someone else...exchanging good morning/afternoon...going for a number 1..they go for a number 2 and without shame, let out the most horrendous noises known to human-kind. Thanks, I now have heard your noises and know who you are.

It's a toilet. People ****. Sorry but if I'm going in the crapper I want everyone to know it's for a poo and not to toss it off on my phone for half an hour.

Having a rubbish bag 5 yards from the black bin. Unless it's raining grenades then just walk outside?

When someone puts rubbish in the kitchen bin and pretends they didn't see there's no bin liner in first. You saw it, you liar!

Anybody recommend a good Johnny Depp film? Something that packs a punch?

It drives me mad when the Mrs comes with me as she just piles it all on in any old order, drives me mad.

Knives next to knives, forks next to forks - that's how I roll. Well done that man.

Radio 2.... I have that on at work, mainly because we're in different motors everyday and I can't be arsed to set up my DAB radio on a daily basis. My gripe is being a bit of a rock orientated fan, which they play fairly often, they will follow LedZeppelin with Little Mix.

Now, I'm sure Little Mix fans are as keen on Led Zeppelin as I am on LM but surely them and your 1D's are radio 1 material. 

I can listen to a lot of current stuff no problem if it's well written and performed but draw the line at Little Mix, it's music for little girls to spend their pocket money on isn't it ?

If they cut down on the pish, it would be an alright station, no adverts is great.

What's radio 2s demographic?

Radio 1 seems to be aimed at anyone 14 or younger, hence the fuckwittery of Dick Grisham*. 

Radio 2 plays anything from Adele to Elvis. Now forgive my here say but elvis died when I was a wee boy. His music was in the charts in the 60s - 50 years ago. If you were born in the 50s your era is more likely the late 60s, psychedelic flower power and some fabulous early rock. Late 50s and early 60s music surely is for people born in the 40s, who will be pensionable age now.

What's the station for middle aged farts like me. Or, more generally, anyone aged between 16 and 59?

Plus late night radio 2 has some fecking strange stuff. Like Hammond organ music, dance hall or C&W. Jesus.

EDIT: *Grimshaw. Dick Grimshaw. You know what I meant.

Self-adhesive stickers on fruit. I don't care if a banana is freetrade or comes from Timbukto.

Self-adhesive stickers on potatoes. There cannot be a more unnecessary job in life than sticking labels on potatoes.

Oh, and 'Car wash,sir?' and 'Big issue?'

Unnecessary packaging. When you buy a USB stick and the box is big enough to hold the encyclopedia brittanica.

'So called Islamic State'. What the f**k is that cop out? Just say Islamic State, it's definitely a legitimate organisation at this point in time. The BBC trying to pretend it isn't, isn't going to change things.

That's because the government told them not to but the BBC guidelines say to call organisations by the name they identity themselves as. In order not to piss off Cameron they now say So Called IS. They're so **** scared of being financially penalised they'll do whatever they're told to.

Apple computers are great at email, web browsing and looking nice. If you want to actually do something though, better buying a PC and rebooting it occasionally.

I love you all ..

In a manly way of course. 

@RamDon I liked your post because I didn't know what else I can do. I commend your strength - didn't "like" your message. I'm pretty sure that you understand what I mean although I have no way of putting it across.

While I appreciate the thought and agree with that decision, the "etc." does come across a little dismissive. 

Not upset or anything by it, for some reason it made me laugh, but might come across that way to others too.

I understand - but I didn't want to present a list of issues as though it was a predetermined list that you can talk about. I'll try again.

Ok.. the topic title is depression but  youre in charge... I guess we are OK to deal with other health problems.  She recognises the problem, says she wants to do something about it, but rejects almost all suggestions, such as, as I say, trying to face the fear. Easier said than done I suppose.    

I've edited the title slightly because I feel that the discussion is broader than depression.

Just seen a side on picture of that bulging eye, won't post it in view of decency but that is one humongous swelling! Should have been stopped sooner, Eubank had the fight long won bar a knock down coming his way. Oddly reminded me of some of those Benn v Eubank snr bouts, toe to toe stuff.

I was in the pub and noticed the boxing was on at the end of round 8. My mate asked who's winning and I said, not the guy covered in blood. I could see without seeing any of the fight it should have been stopped sooner. 

I haven't owned a watch for nearly 30 years. They are unnecessary.

Having a quiet week off Twitter this week... Certain festival going off and it sets off me remembering bad times in my head and wishing I could change the past... Feeling a little low but I'm good. 

If you feel low, think how low you'd feel after a bad time at said certain festival.

I think another issue for me is that when someone asks "how are you?", and I respond with a quite throwaway, "meh, been better", it's often met with "why? what's up? What's happened?". Problem with me is that I never have any one real specific thing, and I cannot put into words how I feel. This makes me then reluctant to ever open up to those friends. I suppose over time, almost all of my friends have ended up being crossed off my "open up to.." list as a result of this, ending in isolation.

My latest episode of being down was met by a response (from someone very sensitive and compassionate) of "what happened over the weekend then? something must have".

I don't know if this is any help at all, and I wouldn't say I've ever suffered in the way others here have - but I've been unhappy in my life in the past and was on a crappy management course. Most of it was standard BS but one bit was of use to me.

If you want to change something about your life, change something about your life. Small changes can be a catalyst to bigger change. If you are feeling lost in life, do something, however small, and it may start a domino effect. 

Probably not helpful but it was for me.
