oooooohhh get you, from staid and fence sitting to all brash mouth of a sewer and gutteral.

Chris. I don't think anybody wants you to leave here, but perhaps just have a bit of control on what you post, not all of it is relevant is it mate? Surely you can see that, I think Michaels idea of a blog could be a good direction for you. That way you can chat about the day to day going on's of your life without fear of people pulling you up on it.

Also, can I give you a bit of advice mate without biting my head off? I think you need to give things a better shot if you want to be a bit more respected. The problem is that a majority of people who post on this forum, myself included, work in a major city and work in the creative industry, and to people like that, you come across as a bit of an armchair pundit. I understand you are scared of London, and thats why you favour living in Plymouth, but seriously why don't you give it a shot up here for a bit? If you develop your work a bit more, and work on your site (simple always works better Chris, keep it simple and use a font like Helvetica) then you never know you might get a few commissions and things could work from there. I have to say it, if you don't you will spend the rest of your life wondering 'what if'?

Please don't answer the post with a list of reasons why you live in Plymouth and why I'm a cunt, Plymouth's nice but if you want to progress with your work you will need to up sticks fella - Otherwise you'll end up like F:lux, Durham housewife who swallowed a thesaurus, as well as something else no doubt.

I would like to add when reading Ben's message read it without an aggressive tone because it's good advice and genuine. Hope you're well Ben?

Ben, do you never get bored of repeating/contradicting yourself?

Bina, fuk you too. But please, do read that "without an aggressive tone because it's good advice and genuine."

I haven't ever been rude or aggressive so not sure I deserve that response. If another person had written what I feel was good advice then you wouldn't have responded in this way. But you feel the need to always fight his battles he is a grown man and very capable of doing it himself. I wasn't even writing in repsonse to "Otherwise you'll end up like F:lux, Durham housewife who swallowed a thesaurus, as well as something else no doubt." but you just presumed I was.

Read from start to where it's at now this has got to be the funniest thing I've read in a long long time....pure comedy. It even beats some of the puerile and random rants on superfuture and thats saying something. Congratulations.

Yeah, who thought a Surf championship could be so much fun!

But please, do read that "without an aggressive tone because it's good advice and genuine."

f:lux you really are a contradicting pratt!

Chris's character would make a great tv show. Don't go Chris! You may not think you wished to want to, but life is for the living you do when you forget the life you thought you wished you wanted.
