I'm about to give my little brother the best present I can think of
He turned 25 yesterday. He's coming home from uni very soon tonight because the experience of uni is frazzling his mind. He's a troubled kid.

I'm going to give him ownership rights on any piece on vinyl in my record collection. Bear in mind that he knows well that there are some £100 pieces in there and they're the ones I'd be most sorry to see go. But I feel really sorry for him. He's not coping with shit at all, despite being the nicest kid ever. I call him a kid because he acts very young for his age and is 5' 3" into the bargain. I hope he chooses something expensive.

How have you been altruistic, recently?

I gave YM one.
But that's nice of you.

awesome, she could do with a good shag
my dad's got the glassy eyed look of the permanently frustrated. I doubt there's much sex going on.

I thought that said autistic...
That's dead nice of you though. I can't part with vinyl and none of mine is worth a carrot.
I hope he's alright. I went home from uni, because I went a bit bonkers, but then I went back the following year and just about managed to cope!

He's done that a few times..
..quit and gone back because of bonkers stuff. I fear that he might need medication, as he's just getting worse, slowly.

Will be good to have him back though
I'll give him a White Russian, he'll perk up and we'll listen to cool music. Him and I see eye to eye in a way that's rare in life.

Ah, I hope you make him feel happy.
Nowt like going home.
In small doses.

He's 25 and still at uni?
He sounds like my dead beat cousin.

He's not really a dead beat
He does everything to look after himself. He's just really troubled, paranoid, insecure, even a bit deluded.

Oh shut up and feel the love or I'll piss in your shoes

At least you haven't pissed all over your life like his brother

Was just contesting the "dead beat" thing
he doesn't even smoke weed, which is an astonishing feat considering he grew up with two older brothers who can't do without the stuff. he's a good kid.

That's not good.
If it's obviously bad for him, he should be allowed to make his own choices - especially at that age.

Much like this
Ensured my sister and her kids could have a half decent Christmas after some events beyond their control, including Morrisons cocking up her husband's pay for two months running.

I placed all of my Doctor Who DVDs
In broadcast order on the shelf.

Yes I know Roota did the autistic gag, but hey...



Seriously though, I hope your brother gets sorted soon.
