Today I realised I am bored with everything.
-
Don't talk to me about boredom. I was at the Dundee United v. St. Mirren game yesterday.
-
Yesterday, Love (Street) was such an easy game to play...
-
Now I need Palace to win away
-
I just gave up tuition.
-
But... but how you gonna learn stuff now?
-
Oh, okay, this is serious. Why? What are you going to do now? Cartooning? (That last bit wasn't serious, but the rest was.)
-
I think I need to have a long break and go a bit mad. I don't know. I wish I knew. Hopefully with as little amateur dramatics as necessary.

I have been feeling overwhelmed myself lately...but carry on this is your breakdown thread not mine.

Well, that rules out acting then.
Good luck - you're either very brave, incredibly stupid, or both. I speak as someone who has done nothing but draw silly pictures to earn money for almost 30 years now, and who is hopelessly unqualified to do anything else if that ever stopped. I hope you don't regret it. One of your students once told me you were quite good at the job.
-
I used to enjoy tutoring. I think my students used to enjoy it because I once did. Things change. I don't feel I can give them my best, or anything close to it.
I make very little in a place I no longer wish to be, and lose my evenings because of it.
Maybe I might do it again later. Some people have told me how they would love to be able to tutor as I do. But for now I think I need to get away to somewhere so awful that the rest of my life seems good by comparison.
I'm talking crap, I know, but when you have four days off, return to tuition, and hate it within two hours, you know you have to go.
-
I might half-heartedly write half of several rather crappy self-indulgent books. Maybe I could do a daily strip so everyone knows how I am getting on.

There's no need to expose yourself to that degree.
-
Yes, its much too chilly for a daily half strip.
-
It's a classic scenario. We all get to a point in our lives where we think "I need a change" and it doesn't matter if we're earning big money or earning bugger all, we need a different vista.
-
A big decision, Mince, but it sounds like a good one. I hope you find something.
-
Keep your pecker up Mincey.

I hope that is not some kind of advice to those on the board...
-
Take the opportunity and do something different with your life. Just out of interest, how did Peter react to the news?

In case that came across wrong, I was referring to the missing comma before Mincey.
It reminded me of Inspector Grim: go to 1:53 in this clip.

I understood - but part of giving up being a tutor is also stopping picking on our grandma - I suddenly feel so free!

Ah, Inspector Grim - one of the great comedy characters of the 90's, in my view, beautifully portrayed by David Haig, who had the perfect face for the part. I always looked forward to his wisdom. I knew which line you were referring to even before I watched the video (and I watched it all) - it's one of the funniest moments I can recall from any sitcom, and positively dangerous when viewed with a mouthful of beverage. Bit of a shame it was recycled to lesser effect elsewhere in the series, but a marvellous moment, none the less.

I always found it amusing that Ben Elton wrote this. The man who, at the beginning of his career, was openly contemptuous about the likes of Benny Hill and the "old brigade" of comedy. He then came up with this pile of juvenile double entendres, mouthed by the most cliched of characters in the most cliched of formats. Some of the stuff written for the gay policeman would have been dumped by the "Carry On" team. Perhaps it was all a clever pastiche that went over my head.

You can tell I was a fan.

How? Do you occasionally spin round and cool people down? Or is it something more subtle?
