That even on a guy's 21st all his mates want to ignore him just to chat up little tarts that aren't even worthy of cleaning my shoes?

I cannot describe, using our beloved language, how incandescent I am now. I have absolutely no faith in the human race whatsoever. Even people I completely trust passed me off tonight.

Should this sort of this happen on some one's 21st?

I've got a solution to all of PH's political problems: exterminate all but the elite.

Maybe there was method to Hitler's madness after all.

There was. He wanted a monopoly on trading in gold, and laying dodgy driveways, so he figured if he got rid of the competition...

You posted a birthday message to yourself, and they're all still chatting to Lois-PIE?

Happy Birthday

On my 21st my sister went into Labour at 7 o'clock in the morning, my parents went to see her in the evening. I knew it would happen so had arranged to go to a Rally up in Keilder with my best mate. Got home and went to the cinema and was pretty much ignored by everyone there (all very good friends).

Sister very ill at night and parents had to dash down to be at her bedside.

Next day everyone at work was wishing me happy birthday and in the evening I went to see Supergrass, who I'd had tickets for nearly 2months and was eager to see them. My car broke down blowing a clutch and had to be towed home so I missed the concert. Got home to ring my gran to be cheered up after a miserable weeked to be told "You're a disgrace to the family" as I didn't go to see my sister in hospital due to other planned stuff and really not wanting to see my sister in agony. Pretty much destroyed my relationship with my grandmother and I rarely speak to her now which is a shame as I miss seeing my grandad as much.

Then of course there is the whole not speaking to my sister, whom I'm very close to, for nearly a week after it and not recieving a present/card anything until much later.

That weekend nearly killed me in depression wise so cheer up, it could be much worse!

TBH I worship Lois. Even though I haven't even met the bint yet. Even though I am partitally drunk she seems the closest thing to perfection in a female I have ever encountered. (And yes, I know, I will never be able to feel the same on PH ever again but that is how I feel).

I could scarcely believe it that even after an hour of standing on my own, my 'so called' best mates didn't even utter a word to me.

Why am I so plagued as a human? Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Hey, I got dragged out to a bar not of my choosing for my 30th, then either ignored or told to "enjoy myself" all evening. Nothing winds me up more than being told to have fun - there's a sort of inverse square law thing going on. The more I'm told to "cheer up and enjoy yourself", the more annoyed I get! Mind you, I'm great at leaning on
a wall in a darkened corner - I can really carry that off!

I'm just guessing here, but she might not be overly chuffed with being called a "bint".

Or maybe I'm wrong.

It's much better to get chucked out by the bouncers as it gives you a great excuse to leave

Mate, I've read you're post, and TBH I'm quite heartened by it.

But I actually found it quite funny that despite everything I'd done for most of these people they blanked me on my one day of regognition.

You only turn 21 once in a lifetime and this experience will stay with me FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

Is PH the only collective I can have faith in? Perhaps I ought to go to more of these 'meets'.

your birthday is reason for other people to celebrate mostly, and in reality what is a 21st birthday? Traditionally it was voting... but now? Bugger all.

17 is important as you can drive (8 AM I was insured and driving the car )
18 is important as you can drink/vote/higher wage...
21 is, well apart from slightly cheaper insurance I can't think of any benefit of turning 21!

8 months down the road and my birthday "celebrations" still haunt me and plague my mind from time to time as it was also a bad time for Uni work as well, but hey, everyone has demons and it's something to cheer other people up with


I should be a shrink

Um, no. but all this talk of Hungerford has got me quite hungry!

At last, after a few posts I'm starting to lighten up now.

Thanks for your patience guys.

P.S, I think it's great that someone's emotional instability can be passified by electircal interpretations.

It's Docevi1's raison d'etre to make you happy by having a shitt1er life that you're having.

Why else would he be an IT student, driving a Marlin kitcar, being in recovery from some unexplained but hideous operation, and spending any free time he has left working in IKEA? It's one downmanship at it's best, and we salute him.(for he is a hero)

Edit: big hugs to docevi1 from loopyj & wg

In reality no, it doesn't really mean much. But there's this whole pent up impression of a 21st being the 'big one' and I suppose I was consumed by it all.

The biggest mind f@ck of all is that it's the 23rd of the guy I trusted most on Saturday, and things will be messed up with this guy if I don't go.

I feel I will be spiteful if I don't though.

I sometimes wish I could be some sort of animal. Life is so much simpler that way.
