Hello all
I do not know if this is the right entry to place in here
I m sure one of the site warden or moderators will advise.
In the lead up to my BR and dealing with all of the mental stresses and strains involved in the whole process, i lost my ability to laugh at myself and tease the system. All i wanted to do was make light of a very serious situation and bring a smile perhaps a feeling of im not alone but i could not see any further than immediatly around me.
The postings and communication from fellow "Buddies" has been an immense release of pressure and i post now hoping that those that are at the stage i was 18 months ago can look at this and other threads and believe that their is light at the end of the tunnel and life is not all bad ... however bad your own situation is, when you look closely you will always find someone in a far worse situation
obviously mindful that i do not want this to be a thread for being rude to others and organisations so change the name
Is it appropriate to have a thread, that we can share some of the funny or bizare incidents involved in BR, the methods individuals have used to cope with the phone calls, the letters, the door knockers, the court, the OR, The BR time and life after Br Discharge.
IF one of the moderators permits
My question to all that read, is what coping strategies have you put in place to make you smile again and what about the whole process has made you smile ? |

I love cricket - not quite as much as baseball though!

I will have to brush up on my cricket knowledge so that I can comment on the upcoming matches.
Not used to watching a sport where they don't wear shorts!!

Who do you support Richard?
I'm looking forward to the start of the F1 season as well - it starts on my birthday this year, so a win for Jenson Button or Lewis Hamilton would be a nice birthday present!

Hubby is watching the Scotland/Wales game at the moment. I'm not fussed on rugby but we both hate football with a passion.

I'm just hoping Chelsea lose on Monday as OH is a Chelsea fan and I'm enjoying pointing out that United are currently 13 points clear of them!
