Unexpected Crisis

[bozmandb9]

Have you not read any of his other threads?

Re the depression thing - it's quite possible that Blazed could be mentally ill - it would certainly explain a lot of his posts. It would also mean a bit of a re-think in terms of how we respond to him on here.

I totally agree Citius. I'm not judging anybody, but we never know the state of anybody else's health, mental or physical. It's easy to be a keyboard warrior, without considering the possible consequences, but it's rather like being the kind of driver who I"m sure we all despise, overly aggressive in their little tin box.

Bottom line is we're all human. I guess I'm more attuned to it, just did a mental health first aid course, and also currently on a course called 'Active Body, Healthy Mind', to volunteer supporting people who want to use exercise to improve their mental health. My point of view is we're supposed to be a community.

The stats show that some of us are bound to be suffering from depression or other issues, so why beat up on somebody who seems to be flagging low mood?

Try putting some air in your tyres, and dropping the 40kg kg jacket might help.

Whilst doing 250 miles a weekend(four day) & despite being a nine an hour(Mars Bar) whilst at work, I remained a steady weight.
At one of these cholestorel tests I was asked if I'd consindered doing a bit more exercise.

You could be right in your assessment; but on the other hand @blazed is a well known wind-up merchant on here. Note I didn't say troll; as far as I can tell he posts stuff for a laugh and presumably expects to get some predictable feedback from it.
Most of the regular contributors know the score by now, and I don't see any replies that amount to bitchiness, or even nastiness. Just a bit of banter. I will be one of the first to apologise if it turns out that I am wrong.

“This is a crisis. A large crisis. In fact, if you got a moment, it's a twelve-story crisis with a magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24-hour portage, and an enormous sign on the roof, saying 'This Is a Large Crisis'. A large crisis requires a large plan. Get me two pencils and a pair of underpants.”

I suggest that Blazed buys a bike, learns to ride, go cycling and lose some weight that way.

So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.


Sounds about right

Blazed has not been online since Saturday - I hope all your gentle ribbing has not caused him to do something stupid.

I'm sure I read he only used his parents PC now so wouldn't be online as much.
