Motobiker Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Tonight I am watching over a paranoid schizophrenic. Schizophrenics are fascinating individuals, but the paranoid type give a whole new meaning to the word “tedious”. Fortunately he has now gone to bed after I finally convinced him that 1. The police are not coming for him. 2. That he is not in any kind of trouble for going to a birthday party today. 3. That the staff will be back in the morning. 4. That he is not dying. He’s just tired. 5. That the rain is not going to cause a flood. 6. That yes, everything is turned off and all the plugs have been pulled from the sockets. 7. That he will be able to buy some eggs in the morning. 8. The shops will be open as it’s definitely Saturday tomorrow. 9. He does have money. And on it went. Sigh. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not find schizophrenics fascinating, just a pita, like random sparks are firing the cells in the wrong direction. I keep expecting someone to discover it’s something completely mundane like an enzyme deficiency meaning some element vital to normal thought is missing. What happens if you say yes the shops are shut tomorrow and the staff aren’t coming back, he doesn’t need to worry because the police are on their way round to arrest him but they wont get him because once the forecast flood water comes in he’s going to die from electrocution cos all the sockets are on so he wont need the eggs anyway? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has enough to worry about and tomorrow it will be completely different. I swear he dreams about everything that could go wrong. He doesn’t smile much but when things actually don’t go as per plan, you can see his inner glee. Especially when he makes some random accusation about one of the staff trying to kill him because she didn’t unplug the kettle after it boiled. Don’t. Do. That. Ever. I haven’t broken anyone’s confidence because none of this is actually true. He’s not a paranoid schizophrenic. He has a histrionic personality disorder and it’s starting to rub off. just be more careful with that kettle. Eugene. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Cold grey day today, am having a mug of coffee outside before cutting a couple of branches on my garden and pulling some weed. Then it’s out after lunch to catch up with a friend, and back. Maybe not even touching the bike today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damnable contrary forecasts. It would be easier if they said it’s going to pee down and it did rather than teasing sunshine! Mind you it’s not doing that here, tis miserable.

See what they do with the triple lock in the upcoming budget They are going to divise a way to keep the yearly rise to the absolute minimum that's for sure. They pissed up all that money on Track & Trace and farce of HS2, it makes the pension rise seem like (as Boris says) chicken feed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Thick Lizzy nearly wipe them out? And remember Maxwell and his pension scam.......and Mawsley also said he lost his private pension through some other company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Yep you have to be careful. I had a private pension and the pension company (Aviva) decide they wanted £300 per year to manage MY money. I cashed my pension in, they tried all they could to dissuade me from doing so, I took the tax hit rather than inflate their profits. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 Well I've been out......first time for 8 weeks! Sky looked pretty grim.....but it had to be done! Fuelled it for the first time since November than took it for a blast to clear any condensation! Rode for about 15 minutes...... Then stopped to grab a pic to prove it did happen! As I was taking the pic it started to pick to rain! So it was back on the bike and belt it home before it got worse! As it was I got back, put the bike in the garage, got all my stuff off.......and then the rain got here! Dodged the fucking bullet there! 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
