Tora! Tora! Tora? I had never thought about the fact that I spend most of my time interacting with strangers on here and as you say, I am not a pensioner but I am a single disabled man in my 60s who is housebound & the only 'real ' people I ever talk to in person are my morrisons delivery drivers who deliver my groceries. I'm really glad that donald trump Invented the word groceries in January or I would be struggling to explain how lonely my life can be at times when it comes to getting sundries delivered. I can't have been the only person who has been using words like sundries for centuries, this trump guy might be illiterate but he did invent the word groceries so he can't be that thick for an American, if he had grown up on the isle of Lewis where his mother was born he would have been the school dunce & still be trying to get out of the Stornoway primary school today

My thoughts exactly, I am sick fed up with my posts often taking two or more days before I get an email telling me that my post has been accepted, by which time I have forgotten what the topic was & have an even worse memory of what I have said or what it was the response to.
I am a 63yr old gay man with Multiple Sclerosis & type one diabetic, throw in the vertigo my menieres gives me & you will understand that I don't get out much. Healthy debate on this platform has been 99.9 % of my contact with the outside world that doesn't come from my delivery drivers who bring everything I need, even my weed! Got my prescription last Wed, 23% THC. Works a lot better than the opiods I was getting for nothing on prescription but medical cannabis you have to pay a consultant who calls you three times a year & you have to pay for the prescription, £275 for 40grams.
I use this place to vent my sarcastic sense of humour, a skill you can only be born with in Scotland. Even then it can take decades to learn & master. Sadly I was cursed with two children who were out sarcasting adults by the time they were six. When my daughter went to grammar school she was only eleven & she went to her first history class. The teacher was asking the children some easy questions to see what their historical knowledge was like & after a few questions where my daughter had raised her arm & submitted an answer he eventually looked at her & said "I don't need to ask who your father is do I? When he was in my class in 1977 he was the class clown & I could never get the last word in with him & he would be distracted because he was finished his work first & it was all correct. If you asked him to read out one of his answers he would end up doing a fifteen minute stand up routine which came back to the beginning again eventually when he noticed that I had had enough, he said he could leave me talking to the class for the whole lesson if he thought he would have got away with it. I did the same in my english class. My 3rd Yr teacher was in college with Eugene Reynolds of the Rezillos & I was smoking **** with my 4th year teacher the week after I left school at fifteen.
99% of my comment to you would be banned on the main network might well be rejected here too. What do I care? -

Extremely important, mainly elderly people who have become friends meet on news comments as often as allowed, it's a very big part of our lonely lives. We understand each other, often agree, sometimes not, but for many it is all the social life we have, many being widows, widowers or alone. You prevent our communicating with each other.
