The all-new shiny cockpunch thread (Part 1)

Facebook!..
Yes, I know :man_facepalming:, but as an ex local admin on freecycle I didn’t really want to go there. :shushing_face:
Offered surplus to requirements fridge freezer & 32" flat screen telly on the local “pass it on” (for free :man_shrugging:) groups.
Loads of “is this still available?” responses, to all of which I politely replied yes.
Not one sniff, follow up, no ta, “thanks, I’ll get back to you” response to my timely communications …

Cunts!..

I should really know better, but trying to be environmentally friendly & community minded these days is obviously overrated!

Looks like I’m taking a “trip to the skip” on Friday! :cry:

leave it by the path and the pikeys will have it away in no time.

Put a price tag on each item, draw your curtains and when you open them, behold no fridge or telly.

This. They literally patrol the estates around here. Leave something in the street and it will be gone in an hour.

Are they still available?

(sorry)

Both valid suggestions, but I don’t have the means to get said items down a flight of stairs, hence my reliance on willing recipients to do the humping?

Retrospective punch in the nads to me for thinking giving shit away for free was a good idea! :man_facepalming:

YES,… Yes they are… Are you interested, are you local, can you collect, can I have your bank details please? :thinking: :shushing_face:

Lol

None of the above.

I’m just lonely and in need of virtual conversation.

And attention.

Awwwwww,… Need a chat honey?

Only if it’s about free stuff I have no intention of collecting.

I had some stuff to give away and all I got was "Do you deliver? "+1 for the price tag routine.

Dementia can take a massive punt. It gradually took my Mum’s mind, and now that she’s gone for good (Tuesday) it feels like losing her for the second time - although there’s also some sense of relief since she really didn’t want to end up where she eventually did. An odd feeling really…

As many on here know already, it’s a horrible insidious disease, but at least research continues and there are a few things emerging that can help to hold it off for a while. Both Mrs H and I have a history of it on one side of each family, so we’re actively looking at how to stay mentally sound for as long as possible…

So sorry to hear your news Nick.
I went through exactly this with my Dad and understand the complex emotions you go through as the disease gradually takes away the person you love, Even then when you think you are prepared for the inevitable you are still losing a parent and that has its own emotional issues.

My sincere condolences at this time
