I've discovered that where I'm going to be staying in Singapore next time I go has this pool

Why? Why would they do that? When will the designers of tall buildings grasp that many people suffer from acrophobia and don't find this **** in any way amusing? :furious:

Hi bro do you suffer panic attacks, anxiety and depression bro?

Just refuse to go bro. I sometimes refuse to go to the jobcentre due to my anxiety.

They always show that on the Singapore GP. Looks terrifying.

Though 'phobias' are supposed to be irrational. Nothing irrational about being scared about **** like falling off a skyscraper or mountain. See also, Islamophobia.

Indeed. I have little tolerance for made-up phobias like people who are scared of baked beans, but

an unwillingness to risk falling hundreds of feet to one's death seems fairly reasonable to me.

Pray tell how you are going to fall out of the infinity pool and down the side of the building?

Over ambitious on the diving board perhaps.

How is the fear of bean-juice going viral all over your breakfast going, anyway?

Have you perfected the art of the sausage-dam yet?

Oh, I realise there isn't water casacading constantly off the edge of the building onto the streets

below, but even the illusion of it's bad enough imo.

Don't get me started on f**king 'skylifts' :shudder:

Got in one in the Heron Tower in London up to the restaurant at the top. Going down, it took every ounce of courage I had to step onto a glass floor hundreds of feet up in the air.

I had to close my eyes and whimper in terror as I went all the way down (much like when I was with your mum).

Sheer drops is mine, oddly I don't mind ski lifts at all

apart from cable cars :shudder:

I went to a dentist the other day who specialised in people who have phobias of such creatures

Having a phobia of the evil f**kers who become dentists isn't irrational either - they are all *******s (except Manuel)

And most food.

Did you pick up all these neuroses during your stint in Stamford Hill?

How's the IBS?

Loads of fat c**ts could jump in at once, displace a load of water and wash me over the side.

Don't pretend it couldn't happen.

That's Sir C. He also fears yellow butter. I simply deal with my wish not to have things smeared

with bean juice by saying 'No beans' when ordering.

Indeed a sequence of events I had not factored in.

I never had these problems when I travelled with business to Bradford and Clydebank.

That's the nature of acrophobia, though. It only arises when you can see the attachment to the

ground. That's why you don't get fear of heights when in an aeroplane. Many pilots are acrophobic, in fact. Ski lifts never bothered me, either. Cable cars did, but more because you're in a rickety f**king box hundreds of feet above the ground and only suspended by a f**king wire. And some utterly despicable c**t who deserves a painful death usually thinks it's funny to start rocking the f**king thing. Scum.

Why would a dentist specialise in people who have a fear of animals? How does that come up?

Does he show them pictures of said animals while drilling their teeth without anaesthetic?

Oh yeah, I was presenting something at the Lloyds building recently

Their lifts are *******s

I do not suffer from a single bowell complaint, I'll have you know

Regular as clockwork, my movements are.

Strangely, I tend to suffer from it massively on boats

Though this might be another neuroses.

I must be the world's most neurotic gentile, I'm almost an honoroary hewbrew.

Oh, no, that's perfectly normal. When I say 'ground' I mean the surface.

I had to climb up a rope and plastic gangway to get on board the world's largest container ship in Felixstowe last January. Terrifying. The only way I managed was by staring fixedly at the arse of my female colleague who was going up ahead of me. In my relief at getting up there safely (the ship, not her arse), I started babbling something of that nature to her and tried to reassure her I wasn't being a pervert. This, of course, just made me sound more like a pervert. http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/ohwell.gif

I even went a bit wobbly going up the escalators to Heathrow Terminal 2 last week.

They have nothing on one side of them and go up several storeys. :-(
