I envy you guys, there are some bands I'd like to see, but I don't enjoy being around people much.

i have started feeling the same way over the last few years mate

i put it down to old age in my case

i only feel like partying with good friends these days and sometimes i dont even fancy that.

cheers shaun

Much rather be around a lot of animals than a lot of people anytime. We have a close knit group of friends and family that we hang out with and thats about it.

Well, at least I am not the only one. As for bands I'd like to have seen....

i did the random thing through out the ninetys mate

randoms these days just dont seem the same

all they seem to want to do is fight and turn everything into a pissing contest...!!

cheers shaun

percey39 · 11-14-10, 07:09 AM

Haha thats half the fun the pissing contests lol Your from scotland i thought you guy's loved a fight lol. In all seriousness though i have to agree, most people only go out now days to cause trouble and see how many people they can belt.

i used to soak it up back in the day when you got the odd random that tried to cause trouble

re scottish temprement
hell im probaly the smallest bouncer (door man ) thats ever been at 5ft 4 inch

i was 12 stone and teaching judo at the time so it was a good laugh chucking the over 6 footers out without a single punch

that appealed to my scots sense of humor

cheers shaun

Haha the look on their face would of made the shift worth it. I could not stand bouncing/security work at night clubs.

it was good money for next to no work

it did grate on me after a while so i gave it up

to be honest the folk you met were all fake

they were out their faces on drink or drugs

if you ever looked them up when they were sober the were completely different people

it was a great job for the single guys as the women came in all different shapes and sizes

ive been with my wife since i was 15 years old so that bit was of no interest to me (hope my wifes reading this,haha)

cheers shaun

percey39 · 11-14-10, 07:43 AM

Ah nice young sweethearts, i have been with mine since i was 16 as well lol. Thats the problem with security as you miss out on the fun with mates when your young, you have to kick them out when your working and you deal with the goons at close. I thought about it when i was 19 but changed my mind very quickly.

you and i are both lucky men re relationships then mate

i hear what your saying

if im being honest there were times that i was envious of my single mates (for a split second here and there)

that said im glad i never did anything stupid

they say behind every great man there is a great woman

now all my single mates of the time have been through countless failed relationships and now live sad drunken lonely lifes.(a few have even took their own lives)

where as i have been with my wife for 28 years

i was 15 she was 14 when we met on the monday i asked her out on the wednesday and we've been together ever since

its our 23rd wedding anniversary next year

id love to take her to oz for our 25th anniversary

yes mate we're both lucky guys re women

cheers shaun

percey39 · 11-14-10, 08:03 AM

Very lucky indeed, i dragged mine through hell and back and she is still here!! Flights are pretty cheap at the moment and the way things are going they will only be getting cheaper. Maybe if you get those darwins you will really be able to go all out on a holiday with a breeding under your belt lol, if only reallity was that simple ey.

shaunyboy · 11-14-10, 08:13 AM

my wifes been a saint compaired to me mate

yes if i could grab those darwins it would really be a great thing

if they bred for me then i would really be in the money

they are the only pair of pure darwins i know of outside oz

do they go for a higher price than other morelia over there mate ?

are the rarer than other morelia in oz ?

the man selling them has probaly the best reputation in europe

so folk would know they were pure darwins with locale history

he is regarded as a god to all things boa

among other things

he was out there 30 to 40 years ago studying snakes and figuring out how to keep them healthy in captivity

just noticed we're back on topic mate funny how things go when 2 snake obsessed folk get yapping,haha

cheers shaun
