Worse than an insult. It's a curse. Wrapped up to sound like a pleasantry. 2 hours ago, hfuhruhurr said: 2016 has been a turd. Also, Lemmy dying last year and this year is way too much to take.

I saw him on the Saturday afternoon, he did "2016" and said it was the first time he'd performed it. Hehe, cheeky bugger, said the same thing Friday afternoon.

Trout Mask Replica Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) Portugal have something to do with this I'm sure of it.

I almost added to my last post; That might not be true as he also said he wouldn't play "Can't get a gig at Glastonbury" again and he did. Which annoyed me as at the time it was a significant moment.

Hugh Jass Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Without wishing to bring down this thread any further in the last few months my wife has suffered a miscarriage, she then almost died from a complication during routine surgery to remove the miscarriage tissue (lost two litres of blood on the operating table, she's recovered now thankfully) and I found out last week that my mum has cancer. Ah well, fuck it, life can only get better from here. 2017 will be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well, fuck it, life can only get better from here. 2017 will be much better. I'm sorry to hear that things haven't been good for you to say the least. a poster mentioned up thread about being strong for your wife and I'm sure you've heard this a lot, it's undoubtedly well meaning advice but don't feel that as a partner you this that this is how you have to behave. Partners feeling and emotional well being in thes situations are often overlooked but you're feelings around this are still important and if you need help it isn't available.

Mark H Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Sympathy from Wellington NZ for the losses people have experienced and expressed in this thread. For a slightly different angle, I can contribute a magnatude 7.8 earthquake earlier this week immediately followed by two days of biblical flooding and no Glasto 2017 ticket to take my mind off the 93% likelihood of another severe earthquake in the next 30 days. 2016 can fuck right off.
