Very odd how this thread started with human relationships, but was quickly "hijacked" by pet lovers. Ah well .....
Obviously dogs and cats are more interesting!

Well, relationships in general - which is what I took this thread to be about, potentially - have always been the stuff of drama, and very interesting!Originally posted by Dave2002 View Post

Tech relationships can be fraught - Alexa drives me mad "the answer to your question is 4". And don't get me started on Windows...Comment

Not to mention maths relationships -"2 is less than 4"! :laughOriginally posted by AuntDaisy View Post
Did anyone bother to watch Alain de Botton's video? [post #1]Comment

I watched the first few minutes (after reading your earlier comment about "this thread started with human relationships"), but I'm afraid I gave in - he's an excellent speaker, but it's not for me.Originally posted by Dave2002 View Post

Some of the YouTube comments make depressing reading, at least FoR3 has a much better standard of discussion.Comment

I watched the entire video with interest, then discovered on my shelves my wife's copy of 'The School of Life'. This is an anthology of writings by a collective of psychologists, philosophers and writers operating under a common brand. It's edited and introduced by Alain de Botton. It takes much longer to read than the above video (though one can always dip in) but it's more rewarding.Comment
