Actually that leads me to an interesting question.
You are going to die in 18 months(ish) by an accident, you can't prevent it, you don't know how it will happen and you can't tell/convince anyone else that it will happen.
What would you do between now and then?

What would you do between now and then? <edit>pretty pretty and clever clever answers are boring 1) Finally join a blog for the first time and make some deep and meaningful comments, 2) complete my thesis on time travel, 3) get my name upgraded from an extra to lead supporting actor on a poster for a Tuesday blog in the world famous Chatterbox, 4) oh, and create an anti-gravity device so I don't die by falling off a building. All highly plausible with my time machine! |

Morning.
Awesome start to the day. Spilled my keto coffee (which is coffee with butter, coconut oil and almond milk) all over my trousers. Fml. Oh well, only 11 hours to go . . .
@felice, I'd like to say I'd go on a massive bender every day until I die but I know how my bank balance looks. So, I'd probably do fuck all differently for 17 months, then sell everything I own and go on a massive month- long blow out on a nice island somewhere, making full use of all the alcohol and all the drugs. I'd probably also take out a decent life insurance policy to make sure the family are looked after when I'm gone, 'cause I'm nice like that.

conchord over-elaborating to explain the stains on his trousers there.
I am watching series 7 of the Walking Dead now, and no times for games sadly.
Felice - 18 months is probably enough time for me get a solo victory royale*.

Hello.
Divisioning last night. Just sorting guns and that, wandering about grabbing stuff. No real missions.
Bloggie! Did you use any of the apps like 'agent hq' to find stuff?
Off today with the child as holidays. She was up late last night as she was on the commute with me at her Aunt's. Today she is a grumpy wee shit. Lovely. What a fun day it will be.

Last 17 months chat!
If I was single it would be different.
Run up huge debts, debauchery etc etc.

I'd probably spend the whole 18 months thinking up shit puns, just to annoy felice.

I'd read as much as I could about the Cassandra myth, looking for loopholes. Adjusting for infancy and senility, 18 months is somewhere around 2 - 2.5% of a decent lifespan of adult years; it's not massive but it's also not insignificant. Also, according to www.bandolier.org.uk/booth/Risk/dyingage.html (I just Googled it and don't know how reliable it is, but it looks reasonable at first glance) I have a 1 in 663 chance of dying in the next 12 months anyway. Given these ideas, I'm not sure why knowledge of the approximate timing of my own death should radically alter my outlook or philosophy. Naturally, one would reassess pension and life insurance arrangements, but I recognise that's not really a very exciting answer. I could go on a bender every day for 18 months, but 1) I'm not sure that's really how I'd want to spend my last 18 months, and 2) I think the question is really about what changes we would make. 18 months is long enough so the majority of working people, myself included, would need to continue working. Foreknowledge of the timing of ones death would not magically remove the shackles of responsibility. Given all this, the realistic conclusion is that I would carry on with my life pretty much as it already is, but feel a lot shitter. Rage against the cosmic unfairness of the world blunted to impotence. Ennui blooming like mould feeding off pointlessness. Depression sharpened keenly to pain on the cruel whetstone of life. Thanks a fucking bunch Felice Landry. You gone ruined Tuesday. |

Screw that. I'd probably just re-register with a different name on here and on Dip to shed the reputation I unfairly have, and try to get some decent wins under my belt.

Hi Everyone, I'm new round here. Is there much Diplomacy action in these parts? I like Diplomacy but I don't win very often because I am too honest and my word is my bond.

What would you do between now and then? I'd go on a speed fuelled sex bender, whilst listening to 'Don't Stop Me Now' by Queen on my headphones.
I'd devote my life to charitable causes. |

A further question would be, what would be your preferred method of death? I've always fancied being thrown out of an aircraft without a parachute. Probably naked. Well, I might keep my socks on.

So no-one is discussing the Fleabag finale? From what I'm reading on another site it's the best thing on TV ever. EVER.
EVER.
I think their over the top praise will have ruined it for me, so I'm going to give it a miss.
I enjoyed more of my GoT rewatch last night though. Joffrey died. It was more horrible than I remember. 4*

I really like the online game Diplomacy, does anyone play it? The only thing I don't like is a po-faced goody two shoes banging on about honour and shit, just shiv the guy and move on

At least it should be swift, unlike Bruce Willis' lingering postmortem experiences in The Sixth Sense, in which it turns out he's been dead throughout the film. |

Sorry, I should have let you find out what the Guardian thought of the Fleabag season finale on your own. |

Morning
Today is my Monday. Deathchat seems appropriate.
Lovely weather yesterday, so I spent the day in the garden instead of keeping up with the Elite fleet.
Much clearance was done. Beer was consumed. I am slightly sunburned and pink.
