Google updates those street view shots every so often. Maybe your picture won’t be there too long, @Necko. You can see Joe through his living room in a Google street view picture. No, I am not going to give out his address.
@trcanberra, how is it looking for HKL to be able to stay in Australia?

It’s looking good thanks AG.
She now has a tax file number and a student identifier if she wants to work or study.
And so many new friends that they would picket the airport if they tried to kick her out 😉
We won’t know for sure for ages but are feeling completely relaxed about it all.

Drunk posts are common enough. No need to regret anything, especially if you’re lamenting problems in your life on the forum. It would take years for me to go back through and find all of mine. The challenge is telling the drunk posts and the non-drunk posts apart.

Suspect that a few of us struggle now and again.

Offline Never a fan of the “cheer up, others are too” advice when someone is down; at times life is s**t, admit, ride it and some day it will be a little better, even if only for a short while. I’ve got no idea how someone else feeling s**t is meant to be of comfort.
It’s why I adore
“I want you around, cheer down” is such a wonderful message. Yeah, life is s**t, you’re unhappy, be that way, I’m happy to put up with it all as it means you are here with me. So f**k being cheerful for the outward appearance.
And the guitar work at the end is awesome.
And then you read
The title of the song is attributed to Harrison’s wife Olivia, who would tell her husband, “Okay, cheer down, big fellow” when he became too enthusiastic.
I’m keeping mine.

I truly love that interpretation of the song!
Sometimes, however, I think that ‘others feel that way too, cheer up’ is a really good thing. Because it sometimes happens that one obsesses about one’s own misery, at least I do that occasionally, and someone who gives one a reality check and shows one that everyone feels down from time to time can be a lifesaver then. I think that one doesn’t have to ride one’s problems out always, one can often effectively do something against them and other people can be a great help while doing that even if they only offer comforting words.

What does way mean when you use it like this? Are you using it as an interjection? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.

It’s used for happy, funny, or exciting events. You’ll hear it a lot at football matches AND if a waiter/waitress drops a glass and it smashes….wayyyy.

I bet you enjoyed a good traditional Scotland summer where the temperature never fails to rise above 15° and the rain falls like it’s winter. And that’s a good year.
I’m going down to England for a break soon and if the heat isn’t near 30° every day I’m suing.
Summer this year has been utter crap and the crapness of 6 months of winter is beckoning.
