The best place to discuss things..?
Discuss...
Some questions you may like to consider before replying.
Would this count as virtual mass introspection by a non-tangible, multi-faceted thought process that exists only by virtue of the dispirit thoughts that contribute to its ongoing existence?
Can something that doesn’t exist die?
Can an independent thought process and hence “life” ( it’s life Jim but not as we know it) be created by the amalgamation of unrelated, independent, geographically distant thoughts?
Can the tentacles of a virtual existence reach out and strangle you on your way to Waitrose? |

Woohoo!! A reply!!!
During the time I was writing this....
"Didn’t fancy those tentacles huh? That’s ok. Don’t feel bad, this is not new to me.
At junior school we had one of those pre-fabricated classrooms- (remember those?), with the little wooden fire escape steps at one end and the little wooden steps up into the main door at the front into the cloakroom and loos. It was like a self-contained mini-school within a school. That was our classroom- away from the main building where we couldn’t do any harm . To me the wooden steps at the end were not a fire escape but a space ship, which could fly anywhere at any speed and always, be back in time for the end of playtime bell. At the age of 7, my best friend, David Gray (no not that one- well I don’t think so anyway- I’ll have to check) decided that we’d had enough of space travel – we were growing out of that and instead the steps would be a huge stage for our very own rock concert. This we thought, was the way to go. Not only would we be famous, we’d be rich, and might even manage to crawl our way up onto the very bottom rung of the ladder of popularity at school- a short journey which had hitherto been an impossible leap even for our fully equipped space ship. It had lazars and everything. We made little posters; lots of them, it was the most exciting thing we’d ever done. A rock concert. Us- wow! Anyway the day and the playtime bell came so we set off around the end of the classroom to the stage, carrying with us a large wooden scalene triangle shaped like a guitar and a sort of block of wood that was so obviously a drum it should have had Premier stamped on it. Our moment of glory had arrived. We climbed the steps to a deafening roar of silence and gazed out from the stage across the vast empty space in front of us. Yes. No one had come, not even my other friend Donna, who it seems was more interested in Paul Bennett’s Top Trumps than our fantastic rock concert. What to do? We decided that the show must go on. So it did. We sang our songs, twanged and banged our wooden shapes giving it everything we had- so much so that we didn’t know that we’d missed the end of playtime bell. Oh yes we were solid gone, rocking hard. We did however hear the next bell- the start of lunchtime (hour and a half later)- we rushed back to the classroom to everyone piling out – no one had come to our rock concert, no one had missed us when we didn’t return to the classroom, no one cared, so we had lunch, gave up being rock icons and flew in our spaceship to Nezbala Seven instead. So there."
....you wrote that.... cool beans! Imagine how different my life may have been if someone had turned up at our rock concert. |

Yep, lucky escape 
Living in a world of your own as a child is the perfect training for living in the world on your own as an adult. The two places are not so dissimilar. |

Don't worry Toggy. It's not important. Over the past few weeks/months I've started several threads on here which after several days had received no replies, so I deleted them. This thread was heading in the same direction, so this morning I thought I'd reply myself but whilst typing my reply, you had replied which made my story about school the wrong reply but I posted it anyway, mainly because it had taken a wee while to write it.
In a nutshell it's about being ignored and reminded me of my childhood which in the main I spent in a world of my own for the same reason. |

| This isn't the busiest of forums though so I don't think, annoying though it is, it's unusual to have no replies. |

But why is in annoying Toggy?
I just think life is rather too predictable in these currently sad modern days so it's quite refreshing to have something which is just a bit excentic

How many pints of Ruddles were involved with that post Rudds?
I know, it's the predictive text . |
