Is this a real plea or a gag?

― N., Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hi graham whats wrong?

― ethan, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

plea.

― Graham, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

make a cupppa and contemplate the imminent DVD release of lord of the rings! or think of mark s being a pikachu! or... um no sorry, i'm miserable too.

― katie, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Is this something to do with the email you just sent me?

― Sarah, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Or do you just not have enough SPROUTS in your life? That can be remedied by going to Tesco, I assume you still have your cashcard.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Cheer up you big dummy. You've got the best years of your life ahead of you. And you've got loads of wicked gadgets.

― N., Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Kind of. I'm just feeling totally unloved by pretty much everyone (apologies to anyone who wuvs me).

― Graham, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Graham you are loved, you're just a bit shy sometimes and fold up into a little shell. Try not to wallow, it won't make you feel any better. You'll be fine.

― Anna, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Graham, you look like PYTH! Your life should be complete, she's a honey!

― Mark C, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Watch Happy Gilmore. If nothing else you could make a Graham Place out of a Happy Place.

― Jonnie, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Archel sa you should go to Primark if you are feeling miserable. what i usually do is hit the gin though...

― katie, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

graham my advice is to go read one of my 100,000,000,000 (possible exxxageration) "i am miserable" threads and read the advice therein. there's some good stuff.

(this is not a joke.)

― jess, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's not an arbitrary "I'm sad today". It's stuff people here have done/not done that's making me unhappy. I'm sad because this sounds arrogant, but please put it right.

― Graham, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

POSSIBLE exaggeration

― ethan, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Fuck you Ethan.

― Graham, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What? Now you've lost me. If this is referring to some off-board shenanigans then surely it's best to keep it off-board?

― N., Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There are no offboard shenanigans and that's the fucking problem.

― Graham, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

is it because i called you a mentalist? i was ONLY JOKING GRAHAM sheesh!

― katie, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(and, um, didn't mean to be shouting that. sorry! :))

― katie, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I've just e-mailed you. Read it.

(If you're unhappy with any specific people sorting it out in public probably isn't the best way of actually getting it sorted. Talk to them seperately.)

― Anna, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, you have to be more specific if you want help. It's difficult finding a solution if we don't know the problem.

― cuba libre (nathalie), Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well yes quite what they all said, we are not mind readers, if there is a problem with us lot then you'll have to either say what it is or not say anything.

― Emma, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

what did i do??

― ethan, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nothing - AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

― N., Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

OH ETHAN!!!!!!!

― Sarah, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i think he thought you were talking to him when you were just mocking me as per usual.

― jess, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

is this abt the ronan-meet graham?

― mark s, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i like graham because he reminds me of my friends

― ethan, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yes, let's not crucify ethan because of the vagaries of cross-posting.

― jess, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

and graham, i really was serious. ilx has good advice when applied to specific problems.

― jess, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

it's hard to tell via a string of ascii characters whether the things that trouble you are real or imaginary...

one suggestion: take some time out (a day even) from the board. second suggestion: have a nap (i kid you not). usually anything that seems troublesome will have receded into insignificance. if not, then the troubles are real. but i doubt they are, as this board (and all who sail in her) means you well

― Alan T, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oo, sorry Ethan. And Ktee can call me a mentalist all she likes.

― Graham, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

haha i was like :-O

― ethan, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

re: Offboard shenanigans: I'm sad because no one replies to my emails and no one ever mails me offboard and this wouldn't make me sad it's just how people treat me generally as a person and it can be really fucking depressing.

― Graham, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(I don't specifically mean people I've sent email recently I mean generally)

― Graham, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Graham if it's about the mentalist meet-up don't worry - there will be many more and we'll plan anything big (like picnic or Trig Bro or ILE awards) well in advance.

― Tom, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

OI GRAHAM, as soon as i get back to washington i am MAKING YOU A TAPE (along with dg, ron, ess kay and some others...apologies for the delay, but the stereo in my parents house decided to start eating cassettes.)

― jess, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I never reply to anyone's emails so my conscience is clear (ummm)

― Tom, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Me neither!

― N., Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

aawww Graham but i think you may be being a tiny bit paranoid - in my case at least people rarely mail me offboard (actually i only check my mail like once a month so sorry the 2 ppl who have mailed me, i just checked it and saw you but will sort it out when i get home cos i am at work now) and i rarely mail them or even hang out with them (apart from Rick who i live with obv!) apart from the usual fancy a pints. i think (and i could be wrong so pls feel free to shout at me if you wish) you might have a picture of ILE as being a lot more offboardy active/friendly/chatty than it actually is, and you feel that you're being left out of this? but in my case i don't really speak to people offboard all that much. but what Alan said, and we're not conspiring against you! honest! and if you have a problem i'm sure people will be sympathetic and give you advice/opinions, crossed posts notwithstanding. now have a virtual *hug* and go for a pint, you silly wee thing you.

― katie, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

but who is treating you badly as a person? or do you just feel generally put-upon and miserable at the end of term (it is coming up to the end of term... isn't it?) you can e mail me if you like but i warns ya, i really don't check it all that often!

― katie, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(I emailed you Katie)

― Graham, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Graham, e-mail me! I want to send you the 21st Century Girls CD. It'll help enormously, I just know it!

― Arthur, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Graham: don't be sad, okay? love rainy xx

― rainy, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i emailed you graham

― anthony, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Graham, I haven't emailed you and I'm terribly sorry, I have been somewhat preoccupied with holding down three jobs and a broken old boot for a heart.

The thought of you being miserable is terrible! So kindly stop at once, before my soul dies another thousand salty deaths at the unfairness of it all.

On the other hand, a bit of miserableness can be healthy and everyone should be allowed to indulge occasionally...

And so! You have my full permission to grab strangers in the street and clutch yourself to them and weep all over their cashmere sweaters and such. Then make them buy you a nice hot lunch. It'll be good for them, sometimes people don't get many opportunities to be nice to someone who deserves it.

― rainy, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hey do you know who the 1st person ever to start a "i'm sad" thread on ILE was? well if you don't, it was me. & now look!

― unknown or illegal user, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Welcome to the club.

― jen, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Late in the game here, but I do send good thoughts. *does so*

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(i emailed back graham!) hope everyone's feeling groovy today!

― katie, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hi Graham, anthony's the only one i email off board, and noramlly its to confirm exactly what type of moose he is is fucking. If it helps, and I hope it does, I think of oyu as a nice and sincere person - and I find very few of them in life these days.

― Queen G of the 7th Ass, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(wow thanks everyone - I'll email you back after my nap)

― Graham, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Graham, I have not responded to anyone's email in ages and ages, but that's just because I've been close-to-a-nervous-breakdown busy. If people haven't been emailing you I wouldn't take it personally.

You're a sweetie, I know people wouldn't be ignoring you out of malice.

― Nicole, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I would ignore him out of malice, but that's okay - he hasn't e- mailed me.

There is nothing wrong with a little bit of Malice you know. Except the film, and the town.

― Pete, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Everything I do has been motivated by a hatred of A Town Called Malice, so maybe the things I do could be said to be out of Malice.

― Nicole, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I though Everything I Do was motivated by the need to write a theme tune to Robin Hood: PRince Of Thieves.

(Or a Ford advert).

― Pete, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

why you little...! (good to have you back Ptee! :))

― katie, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

graham i have not gotten an email back from you, and this makes me sad.

― anthony, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorry I skipped my nap and I'll email back after I've had food and sleep.

― Graham, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

YAH A GRAHAM MAIL MAKES MY DAY VERY GOOD I LOVE GRAHAM EMAIL

― anthony, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The only person here that I ever exchange email with offboard is Andrew L (a friend since 1981!). I'd be very happy to hear from people, but I'm far too timid to bother anyone as I think they will think oh shit... or they will think I have a crush on them (see other thread)(which might easily be true anyway) and then think oh shit...

― Martin Skidmore, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Martin, you've pretty much explained why I never email anyone.

― Nicole, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

graham hates me

― anthony, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Graham if my only post to you( "fuck off" re attomic kitten) offended, Ill just let you know very few people around here take anything what I say seriously. They are very wise I am not.

Stand tall, walk proud, and look the world right in the eye!
