boredom

Remember Tai Chi is a 'martial art' Kronas - supposed to be very good for you, I've watched a couple of programs on our local channel, about it, lately, & been quite interested

im not mentioning anything about pasty shops again, i got red-blobbed for it earlier

maybe mr K could invest in a gym or sports centre membership... you get to work out, have fun and play random sports (squash?? ) with people whenever you want, all for a modest fee

no, you got red blobbed for calling someone an idiot - it was nothing to do with fast food - I thought I made that clear in the comment, Dave

- gym's are the last place I can imagine Kronas fitting in - at the moment, anyway.

- but, not to dismiss, how much would a ½ hour court & lights, racket, balls - all hire deal, cost, at your leisure centre - assuming one has the 'right kind' of shoes & can play in 'any' shirt & shorts?

oh im not bitter about it, its a welcome change from the green ones it makes my rep count 666 too, which is quite cool in an iron maiden sort of way...

prices... ermm... mirfield leisure centre doesnt seem to have a website, so i am basing this on huddersfield sports centre... (i know for a fact there are 2 buses an hour at least to huddersfield from heck, so he has no excuse )

Yes, it is a martial art but it's very difficult to find it taught as such. Most clubs teach it for relaxation', and not very well.

charity shop is out of the question, we had one but guess what....it closed down

i see your point about the sleeping, no activity means i cant go to sleep, even my eating habits have gone irattic again

photography............hmm....i could proberbly start taking pictures of what ever around my area, we have some nice 'scenery' sometimes, i dont just mean the mcdonalds either.....

the thing is my mind keeps drawing blanks, i used to have answer for everything....and now its pitch black

i dont know really i just feel lost.

yes it is as bad as dave stones makes out

Well with the cookery biased comments I'll just have to go with the flow and suggest you take up cooking.

No seriously it might be a way to maintain your interest in food and eating.If you take it up as a hobby it will help you to perhaps maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Frankly I just can't help anymore.I am finding you very negative. I know it's part of your problems but YOU were the one who ASKED for HELP. Why not actually try something before dismissing it?

Incog.

Just sticking with the poetry theme, some of the most famous / popular poetry comes from people who have 'suffered' from depression - why don't you just see if you can write something about how you feel? If you can manage that, it may help you get over the writers block

I also think that Incogs ideas about cookery is a good one - it's a proper 'hands on' thing to do, and something that you're in control of. If you don't like the end result, just try again with a couple of different ingredients until you get it exactly how you want

Sorry Kronas - I don't know exactly where Heckmondwike is! Can you drive, or is the public transport any good? If the answer's yes to either of those, why don't you just get yourself out and about - maybe a change of scenery for a little bit will do you some good?

Round these parts is one of those places where the average of the population, is, shall we say, "old". as such the majority of everything is geared towards that age group mecca bingo and market day anyone?

Heckmondwike is sort of right smack bang in the middle of Huddersfield and Leeds, transport links are *excellent* to both these places, you can also get on the bus to dewsbury which has *very good* transport links, with minimal effort and not a lot of cost you can get as far as sheffield or manchester...

When is public transport EVER good? It's always a rip off here in Tamworth *points to Ariva*

funny you should say that, all the public transport round and about heckmondiwke is Arriva Yorkshire , heckmondwike even has it's own big arriva depot....

But, bus and rail services get a massive subsidy around here so they actually make them reliable
