People in Oz on working holidays visas etc: just shutup.

Blue Monday is a name given to a date stated, as part of a publicity campaign by Sky Travel, to be the most depressing day of the year.

I wonder what the cure is for this depressing day.. booking a holiday maybe?

Ah sure there's always someone worse off than yourself... like internet moderators who haven't seen the light of day in 2 years.

Good stuff! Who ever came up with that formula was as high as a kite. Never seen as much Tom Foolery in my life.

It's a nice day where I am actually.

A lot of people on monthly salaries got paid around a month ago so that probably accounts for a lot of depression.

Blue Monday? I'm not sure. It was pretty grey here in London but it cleared up around 2pm and we've just had a glorious sunset.

I got paid almost 5 weeks ago and will not be paid for 1 week and a half. I'm into my overdraft and my expenses still haven't come through thanks to a lazy lying arse that didn't pass them on to accounts 2 weeks ago.

But i'm as happy as can be. Off work in 4 mins off to the gym then maybe make dinner play some Xbox and later I may even give the gf the oul once over.

Good life all in all.

It's a nice bright sunny day, I've been down the pier on Dun Laoghair, had a nice dinner and am now watching Malcolm In The Middle. If this is the most depressing day of the year, roll on the most cheerful.

Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

I wonder is there a formula for naming the day when the most stupidest comes out of the woodwork most? I could nominate today as well.
(Not having a go at anyone here - been asked to sort out a friends problem who did something really, REALLY stupid with a pc and he's left me with his machine to have a look at)

My day's been shit. Two detentions. I hate teachers.

And I've just been told a woman was killed either this morning or yesterday just down the road, that's quite depressing.

Grrr, why didn't anybody tell me? If I'd known it was today I would have been depressed all day but now I've missed the opportunity.

I've felt better - a nasty head cold kicked in last night and I was awake for hours with a severe headache and sinus pain.

And Fats Domino...

This day is considered depressing also because people's credit card bills are arriving.

I was feeling pretty depressed today actually. I'm wrecked tired, a family member has to go into hospital next week, I'm mildly hungover and now unemployed.

Tomorrow will be better!

I was in bed till 5pm today, my sleep patterns are still all over the place from Christmas, those days off from college because of the weather last week didn't help either! :pac:

Hopefully an all nighter will fix that and before the parents think I'm either a lazy sod or I'm turning into an vampire!

Nah, there just the order of availability. If it was up to me i'd be getting a blowjob while playing Xbox and being fed my dinner by a clone of my gf.
