If it's that bad up there head south, it's where it happens and where you make your money.
its where it all happens what paying a fiver for a pint of flat lager and all the footy teams trying to compete with northern teams and the real music scene asbeen based up north the last 40 years  oh and i would love to pay half a mill for a three bed semi in the middle of an over populated dog eating council estate    yep its all happening down south .

Very good!  ;D

Now to answer your very naughty post!

To not pay a fiver for a pint of flat lager you go to a working mens club and get it for under £2 a pint ... if it's from ooop north it'll still be flat tho'.

Footie - hate it with a passion! All a bunch of overpaid nancy boys ... except the Bristol teams - the biggest city in the UK with such crap teams - Bristol "gas" Rovers (cuz their ground was in the shadow of the gasworks) and Bristol City - what a joke! Just about able to reach the upper levels of mediocrity before Hull City pip them to the post to get in the premier league. And the local news on a Monday always tells us of the dismal drubbing they receive at the hands of some godforsaken northern fishing port or Sellotape (Winscale) nuclear waste dump.

Music scene! Pah! You northerners think that the Beatles were better than our Wurzels - after five pints of Bummers Sorry - Bulmers 9% crabapple glory cyder, nothing beats the Wurzels - and my Brothers nephew by marriage's dad's cousin is lead singer no less! You've got Strawberry Fields and we've got Combine Harvester - no contest!

Half a million for a 3 bed semi on a dog infested council estate? Dream on! 200k in Brizzle perhaps and London is just mental.

I've a good mind to sell mine and come up to Barnsley and buy Coronation Terrace (all fifty houses) and open a dark satanic ferret breeding mill and set up my own Brass Band! Parp!

Eeeeh, eck as like I would; iftwergudenuff fer myoldman 'sgood enuff fer me!

Pass the pickled eggs and a bakewell tart!

 ;D

None intended.

Dave heres what you do....change your thinking. you dont realise how powerful your mind is. I think ive said this before in another post....why do we sometimes have bad days where we just wanna hide away or sit on our arse and do bugger all..but yet other days we feel invincible nothing will get in our way were happy and when things happen to knock our good feeling we brush it off and carry on regardless...WE ARE WHAT WE THINK!!
If you think lazy and unmotivated and negative you will be untill you change your thought process and you can change from being miserable to over joyed..unmotivated to motivated..... negative to positive in an instant in the click of your fingers.

Its not easy at first but once youve done it and proved it to yourself the bad days will become few and far between until eventually a miracle happens...you never have a bad day because you now know what it is that puts you in that state that everyone hates so much and when you know it you can change it before it takes over and ruins your day.
To some people this might sound like babble. But what have you got to lose.

So from now on evrytime a slight negative thought enters your head (being aware of it you will be surprised how often negatives enter your mind) change it to something positive like for instance what gets us down the most....the rain. when it rained before id look out side and straight away be negative..im not gonna be able to work, im gonna get wet and cold if i do , customers wont be happy if ido and so on.

Now what i do the first thing...i smile a proper cheesy smile and think and say to the wife brilliant its raining we need this rain to make sure theres plenty of water for cleaning windows, it gives me chance to phone through some quotes or arrange meeting potential customers, i can do that facia board job that i promised id do. youll be surprised how many good things you can think of about the rain.
Try it for a day and see how you feel.

and when you go to bed go to sleep positive, think of a joke that makes you laugh or something your child did or your wife or even your pet. think of a song that makes you feel good hum it or sing it.
Go to bed miserable and youll wake up miserable. Go to bed feeling great and you will wake up feeling great and when something happens to knock you...turn it into a positive or straight away think about something good and happy.

It really really works.

we all have bad days sometimes.you do say that a lot of things have happened in your private life lately so may be you need some therapy?

i just accept that sometimes i cant be bothered with work or anything some days!its ok to do nothing all day if you want.wasting the day away!ive had plenty over the years!!

de marco has some good advice but its just not as easy as that sometimes!running low on money will soon get you up and running again!! ;) ;)
