@ HH
marrige isn't all that bad it just basically means a few slight adjustments to your life
1: no more going up to the pub with your mates
2: carrying on from no. 1 no more mates
2: you now only have "colleagues"
4: extra bills
5: you get to have kids
6: carrying on from no. 5 you now have no free time
7: 10 times more housework to be done
8: any extra money you have is now placed iinto the "communal kitty"
9: you now follow instead of lead
10: you have no free time whatsoever
11: you now have a seemingly endless list of very important jobs to do
12: you get to have loads of quality conversations about her clothes, that bitch over the road and curtains to name but a few
that will do for now but if you ever think of getting married again come to me because i can stay adding on to that list for the rest of the day

Ok HH. This is the woman's view on this, which FD isn't too far off.
When girls get proposed to they get excited, they feel loved and want to share their excitement with people close like family and friends. Imagine what a cock you look if she has said on more than one occasion to friends/family that you had proposed and then had to explain that you have taken it back.
I really think you have to look at yourself and your relationship. Are you ready for the commitment? if so then do it properly, stone cold sober over a meal (A nice African
) This might help in two ways, the flatmate gets the hint you def not interested and the g/f actually believes you.
But seriously, you are fking with her emotions and to be honest it is down right cruel. I would have told you to take a hike by now as my friends would be telling me to tell you as well.
Don't do any more TEXTS today, try the old phone if she isn't there and apologise when you haven't been drinking and hide your bloody phone next time you on a drunken bender

I've been thinking about the practicality of a new American revolution, and wondering if there's any way to do it without shooting people.
The American government has proven itself unable to govern, as evidenced by the fact that there's no plan for closing the budget deficit. If we had two rational and competing plans from the major parties, or even one imperfect plan, I would consider that some form of government. But no plan means we're effectively ungoverned.
You might argue that the government is mostly working, and the budget deficit is just one wrinkle that will get ironed out in time. But given that we're in a budget death spiral that will eventually derail every other function of society, I would say that all we're talking about is a timing issue. By analogy, maybe your brain can remain conscious for a second after your head gets chopped off, but as a practical matter, you're not less dead.
It's no surprise that our system doesn't work. It was designed hundreds of years ago, and it gradually worsened over time, just like everything else that was designed hundreds of years ago. It's the ultimate legacy system, bloated and hopelessly in need of replacement. And now, thanks to the brainwashing that all American kids get about the magic and wonder of our political system, and the near Godliness of our Founding Fathers, we're unable to see the system itself as entirely broken. Instead, we assume the problem is that the people within the system are corrupt or incompetent. Or maybe the problem is the Tea Party, or the crazy Liberals, or anything but the system itself. There's plenty of blame to spread around, but a good system should be excreting the crazies instead of embracing them. Why can't we have that system?
If you want to bring a social gathering to a full stop, suggest that the Chinese system of government is the best model for our modern age. Contrary to popular belief, their system is not a dictatorship, because the top guy only keeps his job if the guys below him think he's doing it well. It's more like a corporate structure in which smart and knowledgeable people choose the best within their ranks based on ability. You can fault the Chinese leadership for a lot of things, but you can't fault them for being impractical. They have a political system that, as far as I can tell, puts science over superstition. And over time, I would expect their human rights issues to improve simply because doing so is smart government.
[Disclaimer: What I know about China would fit in a very small Tupperware container while leaving plenty of room for a sandwich. So if you disagree with my characterization of China's government, please correct me in the comments below.]
Obviously a bloodless revolution in America wouldn't get far with a slogan such as "Be More Chinese!" And our government is too constipated to make incremental improvements in itself. I've already ruled out killing people. So how can you get there from here?
Suppose, just as a mental exercise, a new set of geniuses, call them the Founding Fathers Version 2.0, hold a convention and come up with a new form of government that fits the challenges of the modern age. Then, after a lengthy public debate, a constitutional vote is held in which every citizen can decide on keeping the old system or moving to the new one. If the new one wins, a transition plan is drawn up, and the move is made over maybe five years, so there is limited shock to the system.
Let's agree that this scenario is hugely unlikely. But can we afford to not try it when the alternative is no government at all? What would Thomas Jefferson and my cousin John Adams say if they were here today?Comment

Hitchhiker is a slightly less composed, slightly less verbose, slightly more alcohol dependent, Irish version of Hank Moody.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

A prerecorded hypno session is gonna be pretty low on the success scale, as it works better once personalising the experience and adapting to the reactions. Willpower is still required, and its the first thing I'd say to people. not worth the €11 IMO. Hotspur can answer better than me on the therapy side of things, as I'm only beginning my road down that path, but I know a pre-record is gonna be pretty much bollox.Originally posted by emmet02 View Post
hypnotherapy, when done right, has a higher success rate than nicotine replacement AFAIK. The problem is finding someone to do it right, too many out there just reading from a script and not adapting.
I've gotten a few friends to quit while practising it for myself. But its definitely a Willpower required path. Although it may help ease the pressure.Comment
