What’s life if you’re not having fun?
Sober!
No, really though, if you’re not having fun most of the time, then surely something is wrong, yeah? What’s the point of working, driving, walking, running, living every day if you have no real hope of being happy?
If you’re not having fun, change something today. Start small. Go on…
Yes, and it’s the perfect illustration.
You look like you’re on a rollercoaster even though you’re not.
Inspirational!

No Jo. They were just falling backwards. Simultaneous banana skin incident.

What I wonder is why the people who aren’t feel the need to take it out on the people who are. Constantly.

Surely being enlightened is better than fun?
I have neither, but it sounds nicer… more permanent.
darr: I’m not taking it out on anyone other than myself, that’s a generalisation sir.

b’dum as right as you are about my generalisation, i refuse to believe you don’t have loads of fun. surely, sir, you are the fun?

Yeah, I’m not a fan of dry shites.

darragh: nah, I like calm… fun and calm don’t really mix(see above photo of fun)
voodoolady: now there’s a phrase I f*cking despise

I’m with you there, B’dum.
And I don’t think ‘dry shites’ is exactly what Darren means anyway.
Surely B’dum, though, calm fun is possible? It doesn’t have to be madcap japes all the way, serenity can be enjoyable too.
Long country walks, sunsets, open fires…
Well, maybe not open fires after your experience.

Love this post Darren and the pic that goes with it
Absolutely if anyone is unhappy with their lot – it’s time to get a new ‘lot’ bit by bit, however long it takes!

I love that phrase!

Love the way the guys on either side are just like ‘meh’ and you can just catch a glimpse of a grimming girl in the gap between them.

Is that what was happening? You were getting grimmed?

Fun and laughing are good and very healthy. But this is never a good thing to say to someone: “Cheer up, might never happen”. That phrase deserves a funt in the arse.

Someone once said ‘Who Died?’ to my best friend one day in school. I had to explain her aunt just had the night before.
It was quite funny though.

I do agree with you Darren but happiness isn’t a tap that can be switched on and off.
We all have our moments, we’re all capable of being unhappy and the world sometimes is a shitty place.
But I guess you know that already…

@Darr As time goes by, I find it easier and easier to avoid those types.
@Holemaster That phrase is one of the most irritating expressions ever uttered.
@Jo
@NaRocRoc To be honest, I think that rather downbeat post is the inspiration for this post. I am human – I have my bad days, I have days where I truly despise anyone and everyone. But thankfully, the majority of the time I’ve got a smile on my face and it’s a genuine one. My point here is, if life is always bad or sad or causing you misery, then a change is very important.

calm fun is possible, but generally calm isn’t associated with fun.
I’m never really sad or really happy
jo: the who died bit there would be one of the funniest things I could ever imagine happening!

“Cheer up, might never happen” is def worse than “dry shites”.
Bdum – you’d love the story of a friend of mine, her ma’s neighbour died so she was sent out to get the mass card and drop it over. So she calls over and when they answer the door she has the card in hand and offers it. And they say – he’s not dead yet, and close the door.
