Hello to everyone. Well a little about myself eh? I hate writing this things! :wah:

Well I am a 29 year old male from Leeds. I've just seperated from my wife of 5 weeks, yes 5 weeks not years! It has been very tough going and I will be honest it nearly killed me. If you want to know more lol I will share the specifics as I find talking about problems, even with strangers is vey theraputic.

As a result I have just moved back to Leeds from Mansfield after been rescued and made to come home by my family, I really have come to appreciate them and my friends in a whole new way and I can never thank them enough.

I have just started a new job as a Security Officer in Leeds and this is one of the reasons I am on here, I am working now in the city centre on the reception desk of a large office with no one in at all. Started at 5.30am and due to a colleague going home sick stuck here till 6.30pm with just a few limted websites I can access. So I thought I would register for this site and hope to meet loads of interesting people and have loads of discussions about anything and everything.

It is also my hope to make some good friends.

Briefly my interests are: reading, writing, current affairs, history, family history, the internet, football, films, the cinema, the environment, music, beer, the pub, cooking, baking, eating out, nights out with friends and of course the ladies

Hi Luke

Welcome to the Garden

Were a friendly bunch, couple of thorns here but none prick too hard:D

Im sure you will find plenty here to help you through your boring shift :wah:

Have fun:D

Welcome to F G , Luke !

Thanks everyone!

I used to love Cricket lol when I was a teenager but I gave it up as I was so bad at it no team would let me play :wah:

6 hours of the shift to go.......

Odd place, Leeds. Jimmy Savile lives there though - he's a great man, Sir Jim is.

He does indeed, lives in an apartment overlooking Roundhay Park and if you go there chances are you will see him out and about.

I love Leeds but am seriously thinking of Emigrating somewhere but not sure what country would want me lol.

Welcome to the Garden, Luke !!!

Be warned, it is very addictive !!!

You are bound to find interesting threads here, and make a lot of friends - ENJOY !!!

Hi, Luke.

Welcome to FG.:-6

I live in Leeds too. But I'm a stranger to the town. I've only been here since last December.

Hi Luke and welcome!

We are a friendly bunch here so you can spill you guts anytime, so sorry about your breakup, your lucky to have such a warm and loving family to help you.

Odie, she has been there also, and time heals, keep the faith!



group hug for you!

Cheers guys. So grateful for my whole family. That's the one good thing to come out of all this lol.

I know I will emerge stronger for it.

Welcome and enjoy your stay. Many of us have come here to FG for online therapy, often times it really works.

No matter what hours you keep, you can always find someone keeping vigil on FG.

So sorry to hear about the demise of your marriage, not an easy thing to deal with, only 5 weeks in, ouch. Bless your family for being there for you.

Welcome, Luke.

Here's a welcome mat for you.

Welcome to The Garden, Luke!

Thanks for the very warm welcome guys.

Yeah once I get talking no shutting me up :wah:

I have found it very theraputic to talk, it's much better than keeping it all bottled up I find lol.

42 years!?!?! Wow makes my 5 weeks look puny :wah::wah::wah:

That's the main thing I am finding, it look for the good in every situation. I know I am better off in the long run.

I suppose 29 is still young lol.

Interesting hmmmm the fire alarm on the NCP car park next door been going off for an hour, driving the people in my building mad and all ringing me to complain, little do they realise it stops me from calling NCP to get them to sort it out :-5

Took me an hour to get through to a person and not a machine, they said they sending someone right away....wait.....what's that??? Silence!!!!! It's gone off thank god!!!!! :D:D

Lets see what the next 6 and half hours bring.......

You know how to do a decent post thats for sure;) Hi there and Welcome:D:guitarist

Ah the famous Carolly hello

I like to think I can string a sentence or two together :wah:

I been really busy today, issuing loads of temporary security passes. Loads of people coming in to for Interviews with Sky TV and they all keep asking where toilets are, does having an interview make you need the toilet?? I can't recall that been an issue for me lol :D:D

Nearly lunch time, think I will go for a walk as my legs have forgotten what they are for and my bum very numb :sneaky:

welcome! :-6

Absolutely ....I used to work in HR and have done hundreds of interviews....most people were scared out of their wits, specially youngsters and older people. Good to hear that some firms are still recruiting and that there are jobs around. The firm I used to work for are making people redundant.......sad.



Hope a walk cured your numb bum....hazard of the job I guess.!!!

wow..



welcome aboard!:-6



diane

My bum not so numb now lol had a nice little walk around the site looking for hypodermic needles that drug users leave behind, lovely!! :wah:

Well the day has gone quick today. Just over 2 and a half hours to go!

Well the interview rush seems to be over thank god, rather them than me

Just watched John McCain speech live on Sky News on the 52 inch LCD, impressive speech but I'm not a fan lol.

Just realised I have not spoken to Mel (my wife) for 5 days, longest since I met her lol. In order not to be tempted I have stayed of of MSN and Facebook and really feel better for putting some distance between us.

Still want to stay in touch as she is organising collecting DVD boxsets and money people down there owe me. Also have to stay on good terms in order to get my divorce next year as if she contests it I will have to wait 5 years

Do people have any thought on what I should do in terms of contact with her and if I should still be friends with her as she wants us to be friends again and best mates as that is what we were once upon a time and I am not sure it is a goo idea in the long run???
