Okay, then could you tell me what I have to do to become an optimist? And how long will it take, will it be painful and what words will I have to use? Thank you.

This is an interesting question that has puzzled no one of any consequence for any length of time. However, I shall endevour to research your brain teaser and come back to you on it. I would prefer questions that are more humiliating for the person posing them, but I will work with what I am given.

If you were an American Theia, it might be possible to help you on this, however, you are British and therefore will always be miserable no matter what you manage to achieve before you inevitably die. It might be possible to change your nationality and move to somewhere sunny like California or Australia, this has worked in the past, though it usually takes several generations before the misery gene is worked out. I think it would be better for you if you learned the art of accepting your fate. It would be my advice to listen to Pink Floyd, watch Ken Loach films, and read "The Wasteland" by T.S. Elliot. You will remain pessimistic, but you will come to understand that optimism is really only pessimism minus any life experience and you will become happier with your lot in life.

Thank you Minks, of course I welcome all comments on the standard of this advice column, though I reserve the right to not listen to any advice whatsoever myself. I have never heard of this woman, though she probably had an advantage over me in that she actually felt some compassion toward the people she was giving advice to. Nevertheless, I will endevour to appear to be more nice and sincere in future if my indifference to peoples' pain in any way upsets you.

There are several ways of doing this. The most effective is to pay someone else who is hard up a very small amount of money to do it for you and make fun of their pathetic career choice while they do it. Another would be to simply fashion a suit from your bedclothes and wear it at all times awake or asleep, therefore all you would need to do at bedtime is to fluff the pillows a bit. Though I would prefer the first option myself.

Thank you, muse...I shall now go and celebrate my pessimism...all being well, of course, and unless anything untoward happens to stop me...and, well, it won't exactly be a celebration (I should be so lucky)...

If you wish to participate in an active social life then occasional washing would be required. To this end you should create several bedclothes garments for yourself so that you do not have to go to the shops in your underwear.

I do not doubt that you are a lady, however, it is obvious that you are under the illusion that you are currently a mildly famous celebrity (perhaps one of the lesser known members of S Club 7)and beleive that you can act as you wish and everyone will still love you. I advise that you immeadiatly arrange an audition with the Judges of the "X Factor" to ascertain whether you have any talent. If you do then you must take on Open Univerity course in musicology. If you do not, then you have the prospect of a lucrative career in the British pop charts.

Yes I have also felt a little uncomfortable at that. However, we must be tolerant of anothers overt displays of rampant and uncontrollable sexuality. Though it may help to place a large "post-it" (sticky paper basically) over the area where the offending figure is normally to be seen. Or you could retaliate with an avatar that displays even more aggressive mating behaviour. I shall leave the choice up to you.

Yes Arnold, it is always possible to start again. You should first begin by spelling people's names more accuractly. Also, it is often helpful to develop outside interests to boost your confidence in your own abilities, therefore I suggest that you join a local school of Falconry as your mastery of these magnificent birds of prey will delude you into believing that the figure you see in the mirror is more akin to a dashing and devilish sea captain, rather than a disillusioned citizen of a post-industrial society.

Yes, these feelings are completely normal and do not mean that you are going soft or anything. First switch on the heating, second locate some coloured light bulbs and replace your normal ones with them. This will create a pleasant atmosphere in the house, if you have pets get them all worked up and let them run around. Switch on the radio, the T.V. the car engine, and any novely dancing figurines that you possess. This will make the place feel less dead. Also, go onto the internet and see if you can locate any audio files of general background conversation. You can also use some old clothes to make an impression of your wife's body under the bedclothes, use a football and a wig to simulate her
head, thereby you can pretend that she is just taking a long nap for the next few days to relieve your angst. You will be fine.

You are a very funny man, in cases such as these, that is half the battle. Some of your more immeadiate unhappyness can be asuaged by throwing small stones at the local children's parties from a hidden spot. This has the added bonus that you do not need to join a local sporting club to engage in such activities. Also starting wild rumours about the parish vicar's connections to the Finish mafia can be a source of solace in dark times.

I would advise that you seek no further advice from me in these difficult and unfortunate matters, however that advice is in itself more advice and should be disregarded.
As for the children, I told you to hide first so you only have yourself to blame, and do not worry about the Fins you can make a small payment to the Norwegians for adeqaute protection. You can then continue to surrepticiously blacken the ill-fated holyman's name in his absence, I suggest using small notices at the local bus stop to achieve this aim.

Do not complain, how do you think the Beatles got their big break? In fact I see this as an excellent opportunuity for you, as being Mr Cowell's personal tailoress you will have access to his dressing room. Use any time you have alone in that room to rewrite his scoring cards to ensure that "The Conway Sisters" are sentenced to immeadiate public execution after saturday's show. Your country will subsequently honour you for ridding it of these warbling banshees from Sligo, in fact you will probably be made the Honoury President of the Republic of Ireland for good measure.

Confusion. How should I deal with it, will it stay with me, and will I recieve more of it. Will I know, given my confused state ?
Do not be alarmed, you are currently undergoing what is known as a state of quantum flux. This is a similar situation faced by Schrodinger's cat in the famous thought experiment. I shall arrange that the probability wave associated with your current imposition is collapsed and you will be right as rain. If you experience any feelings of discomfort after the probabilty wave has collapsed, do not worry unduly as this is just some random quantum tunneling and will stop once all the other parallel universes (created by your decision to follow my advice) are destroyed. This should occur well within the Plank time (which is 0.000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001 seconds) so you won't have to wait too long.

Arnold, your quantum issues should have been solved by now. Therefore it is imperative that you deflect any feelings of rage toward you that other villagers are expressing. To this end I advise that you immeadiatly organize a charity comedy show and invite top London comics to attend. Tell the comics that their audience are all hardened members of Al Queda in deep cover. They will alter their material accordingly, and their calls for the destruction of the West and death to all infidels will cause a national debate on the ethics of London comics and enrage the villagers so much that they will forget their current antipathy toward you.

It seemed like an AGE before the parallel universe collapsed but it left me feeling somewhat split down the middle and now I hear voices. Arnold said he can hear them too. Do you think either of us has anything to worry about ?
If we dont come to some sort of consensus, me and Arnold will just argue and that will all end in tears and that will just make me type badly. Arnold says hes sarting to tarp bradley two
Oh dear, it seems that something has gone amiss. It would appear that one of the alternate Arnolds has somehow escaped from the destruction of his universe, he may have slipped through the singulairty at the end of time. There is no need to immeadiatly panic. Just take a lemsip before bed and keep your socks on, as this generally does the trick. Once you awaken he should have been reassimilated into an anti-universe located somewhere west of Basingstoke. Once this has been achieved you may continue with the plan.

Everything is fine, Abbey is arranging the public execution of a local Irish singing troupe and Arnolds quantum doppelganger will soon be banished to an anti-universe, following which he will continue his hate campaign against a missing Finnish clergyman. I am in complete control of the situation.
Abbey has also reassed the suggestive nature of her avatar.
I hope that your Danephobia is easing somewhat.

This is an interesting development. I am glad that you have found a new partner, however, do be careful around those helmet horns.

Ok, before I begin I must warn you that I was out late last night and I had a fight with me girlfriend or maybe thats ex-girlfriend, so I am in an even more foul mood than usual. Anyway, that should not affect my personal judgement on the important area of fashion conciousnesses.
So as for what to wear, well......no I can't give any advice at the moment I need to go and throw darts at a picture of the young lady in question, that should calm me down after a few weeks.:-5

I have resumed service at my advice column, as I have got over my recent lovelife problems mainly by throwings things around.
As to some earlier questions.
1. The levels of the oceans would fall 4 feet 11 inches if you took all the sponges out. I have been in touch with climate change experts to see if the extermination of the sponge race, might help fight climate change.
2. Sober dark clothes should be worn in church, unless it is one of those "Star Trek" churches where you should in that case dress like a Romulan.
3. Single moms should behave as little as possible when they go out, and they should dress like princesses, as being a single mom is hard work, and they deserve to have a laugh once in a while.

Dr. Galbally, its 1st snow here so when I get to work snowballs will be flying. My boss whom I like very much can be Jeckyl or Hyde on any given day. Your guess is as good as mine. I would very much like to thwap her on the back of the head with a snowball but......should I ?
