Wish I lived in Bristol Riven. We will chat to you on here though!

"TOP 10 'BORES' 1. Routine 2. Lack of social life 3. Job 4. Lack of holidays 5. Housework 6. Appearance 7. Depressing news 8. Eating the same things all the time 9. The house 10. Responsibilities"

I think the journalist had to eke these out - surely 5 and 9 are the same? What's 7 about? Aren't 1 & 10 the same too?

Funny thing is I totally agree with 8 but I never thought that was really, like, an actual thing.

ZZZenAgain · 17/06/2010 19:10

I'm surprised so many have said they want to sing in public.

I don't

I'll stick with boredom, thanks

I think I had too much excitement in my younger days.

I love the mundane.

scottishmummy · 17/06/2010 19:18

nutty article.dont want to do any of the wish list

im content as i am

EnglandAllenPoe · 17/06/2010 19:23

that'll learn em for reading such dull drivel as the Telegraph ..

or more seriously - if as many as 46% are dissatisfied with their social lives, who are they comparing themselves to?

EnglandAllenPoe · 17/06/2010 19:26

being skint is very dull, at least if you are responsible about it

as 'spontaneity' seems to involve spending money (at least on transport, or booze..)

That list is ridiculous, too.

I've done quite a bit of that stuff.

Meh. Shows just how boring and dull the people surveyed are.

violethill · 17/06/2010 19:57

Agree with EnglandAllenPoe. If you're going to read The Telegraph.......

same here, riven! to each his own, but after having had several operations because i had to, the idea of signing up for major surgery just because/cosmetic isn't something that is for me.

EnglandAllenPoe · 17/06/2010 21:05

I have done rather fewer of the things on that list..but then what constitutes fun right now would be more like

  1. go to a different supermarket (like, drive all the way to Big Asda)
  2. visit friends from before i had kids
  3. go for a weekend camping
  4. not be pregnant
  5. go to the dentist
  6. watch a film in the cinema (decadence!)
  7. have a lie in, without even thinking about children..
  8. drink cocktails
  9. stay out all night
  10. apply for a job i want to do, rather than doing one that is possible...

as i think i'll be doing 2) 3) and 4 at least once some time soon, life's not all bad.

It's stupid and it applies to men too, it's not just a women thing, it's called life and what happens when you are not a rich landowner or child of an MP.

I'm bored with not going out shopping and to the park/wondering around much anymore, thats my problem I can't be bothered carrying the buggy up and down the stairs, I never had a social life anyway, I am an Otaku and a gamer. Housework = fitness routine IMO.

The lists are dumb anyway

TOP 10 'BORES'

  1. Routine (you make it change it).
  2. Lack of social life (same as above).
  3. Job (works not meant to be fun it's work).
  4. Lack of holidays. (nothing stopping you).
  5. Housework (no one makes you do it).
  6. Appearance (well change it then be goth). 7. Depressing news (WTF?).
  7. Eating the same things all the time (your choice).
  8. The house (burn it down then).
10. Responsibilities (fuck em then).

TOP 10 THINGS WOMEN WISH THEY COULD DO

  1. Go to an airport and get the next available flight to anywhere (nothing stopping em).
  2. Emigrate (off you go just get on a ferry). 3. Tell people what they really think of them(I do that all the time anyway).
  3. Hand in their notice without another job to go to (nothing stopping them).
  4. Have a dramatic hair cut ( getting a hair cut how shocking).
  5. Put the house up for sale and buy a new one (if you can afford a house you can afford to sell it).
  6. Try something new in the bedroom (well?). 8. Go back to school (never went in the first place so no idea about that one).
  7. Book in for a boob job (seriously a boob job who did they ask?).
10. Sing in public (go on then I sing to myself in public all the time I don't care).

Stupid the lot of it.

OrmRenewed · 18/06/2010 12:11

I'm not bored. I haven't got time to be bored

Meglet · 18/06/2010 12:12

The highlight of my year so far is changing my parting to a side parting. Wooo!

Time and money prevent me changing anything else.
