Well what do I say...

Hi

My name's Jack, Anxiety is the absolute bane of my life, I must have been a tyrannical figure head in a past life or perhaps committed world genocide.

I am fanatical about music, i enjoy reading, watching films and attending gigs.

pancakes & sunshine they're good too.

Take it easy!
When you say I'll never work in this town again, is that a promise or a threat?

Hi Jack, Welcome to the forum.

Why did you have to mention pancakes the day BEFORE my Tesco delivery!!  ;D I'm going to have to make do with cereal tonight but I'll be thinking of pancakes.

Yeah, Music is a big part of my life too. I play a few instruments, I'm crazy about HiFi and sound engineering but I've never ever been to a gig in Brighton! I moved here, went to a gig in London and became ill shortly after. Damn!

The subject of going to gigs together has been raised at the meetings before. I'm definitely up for going to any gigs if you want some company. I'm into all kinds of music except ..... well I'm maybe biased against country! Maybe it's just the stereotype that makes me think that.  ::)

All the best,
Martin.  :)

P.S. Are you coming to our first Monday meet in Hove?

Hi Jack, Glad you found the place Ok!  Jack is an old friend of mine and thought I'd introduce him to this little place. 

I've only ever been to one gig in my life, at the concorde 2, in brighton, about 6 years ago!  I think I'm long overdue another, as long as it doesn't make my ears bleed!  When is James Blunt next touring in our area? lol ;o)  "You're beautiful, You're beautiful it's trueeee ... " (Jack leaves the building!)

I feel like a massive fraud... all you poor souls not being able to attend, truth be known i have to do it, otherwise, i'd just curl up and die, sink deeper into the filth.

I get incredibly anxious when out, clothes shopping used to be sheer ****ing pain, and still is to a degree.
I always think people are staring, it fluctuates, on a good day, it's really good, but on a bad day well, it's pretty bad, i cashed a cheque the other day and couldn't breathe

I'm definitely up for going with you guys to a gig... hang in there Tracey it gets better :)

Yeah country, take out the O and we're only half way there.

and you should see me tomorrow, hopefully with that James Blunt fan

Ps what's up with buses worst public transport ever, I freeze, there was a time when i couldn't physically enter one

Yeah I used to be the same with dogs. Erm ... I mean they scared me!  ;D


I'll look forward to seeing you tomorrow, Jack. I promise not to hold you personally responsible for the James Blunt fan.

I uh woke up late and as a result didn't get out of the house in time.

This Wednesday will be a different issue altogether.

I look forward to meeting you.

Hi y'all,
I'm also hoping to come along on Wednesday.......intending for 3 weeks now, keep trying!

Got to agree with Houserock about the anxiety when out in town.  Have hardly ventured in this year, tricky. Similar feelings of spotlight on me  -as if anyone's blimmin looking at some anonymous middle-aged woman. I feel judged, even though I know it's bo***cks.  I want to be invisible sometimes.  I've even been taking my car on short trips -which I think sucks, cos I've always been an environmentalist - but I feel safe & unseen in the car. Metal armour?

Gonna make a comment that may fall flat.......
I know nothing was intended, & the pun was a good one, I snickered despite myself....BUT the o out of country........call me odd, but for heterosexuals, (& of course, i don't know yr sexuality) I thought er, lady-gardens are to be adored, admired, revered,...enjoyed (enough!),  yet c**t is used as a derogatory word all the time. Funny old world.

Well personally speaking I haven't been using that word as an insult, but that would explain all the funny looks I've been getting.
