Not only do you moan, but you seem to positively revel in slating people for enjoying their lives in a place that you see as a dive. People I might add who have a job, house and friends and realise that they are quite lucky in life with what they have.

Its easy to be bored you see, it takes no effort, its easy to moan constantly about your lot because that is less effort than seeking out stuff to do, I dont mean the occasional moan that we are all entitled to, that is part of human nature, I mean the moaning of the highest order - 'Im bored, no cafe culture, everywhere is a dive, these people are bogans, this school is feral, these kids are feral'.

Yet on the MBTUK forum there is a lady on there that has posted 'this time next year I will have been a one year cancer survivor'. Someone who isnt bored with life, but wants to grab it with both hands and live it and she sure puts you to shame, in fact many of the other members of the 'boredom gang' that post on here.

But no, your health and family, roof over your head, food on the table and an opportunity to do whatever you want if you would only get off your fat arse and grab that opportunity, this is not enough for you.

Because you do have the opportunity to do stuff, we all do. So instead of moaning about your lot, why dont you make the best of what you have and try to change what is within your powers.

Instead of insulting people that you see as feral and bogans, that could actually be salt of the earth type people that you never know, you might just find a good friend in.

But for the love of mike either go out and grab life while you are still young and healthy enough to do it but please stop complaining about what you havent got, open your eyes and see what you have and what is right in front of you.

As Bourbon Biscuit says, incredibly entertaining thread please don't stop

And then quite suddenly, you will yearn for 'ordinary', because there is nothing wrong with ordinary, and there is nothing wrong with the people you refer to as Bogans because they might not dress or look the way in which you are used to but they could turn out to be the best mates you have ever had.

If you have a good set of brains, your health and some determination then channel it into making yourself happy.

You know I spent Fri night in hospital and there was an elderly man in the bed next to me with cancer, his wife died 7 years ago and he has noone now, I heard him asking the nurse to 'take his cancer pain away as he was fed up with it' - It just made me think how much we fret about the trivial stuff.

Go and give your husband and kids a hug, take a look around and not only appreciate what you have, but grab life by the balls and show it what your made of.

Nothing wrong in being in touch with your current state of mind and actually admitting it rather than pretending everything is perfect and bottling it up. We all know the forever happy types, usually the ones who are actually drowning in deep shit IMO. You have to seriously wonder why there are so many regular posters on BE?! Seriously, think about it.

1 in 5 people will get depression in Australia, the highest proportion in the Western world I believe. Tell those people to 'buck up' and 'get over it' and 'pull their socks up' . Yes, we do moan about trival stuff but keeping it locked inside can cause more problems IMO. Nothing wrong with venting and ranting and everyone is entilted to their opinion.

I DO understand how Bruce n Sheila feels as if she has gone backwards in life by moving to a certain area. It's not a snob thing, just human nature for wanting the best you can offer your family and yes, she has grabbed life by the balls by leaving the UK to come to Aus - how much more ball grabbing can you get than that??!!!! If you hang around with dogs with fleas, then you eventually catch fleas.
