Garcin:This bronze. [Strokes it thoughtfully.] Yes, now's the moment; I'm looking at this thing on the mantelpiece, and I understand that I'm in hell . I tell you, everything's been thought out beforehand. They knew I'd stand at the fireplace stroking this thing of bronze, with all those eyes intent on me. Devouring me [He swings round abruptly.] Wh ...[text shortened]... d wives' tales! There's no need for red-hot pokers. Hell is-other people!

hmm... i gotta tell you chaps, hell ain't all bad... i mean, in comparison what you foolish humans have thought up, hell seems nice by comparison..
for example: not all to long ago my good friend beelzebub still had people whipped in one of my great torture rooms of fire, not all to long ago ashfur still found ways to induce new quantities of pain and not all to long ago nistor was still enjoying a chat with his victims while he slowly ate them...
then you evil scum revolutionised it all... and came up with a torture worse than i had ever even contemplated...
Boredom.
eternity of nothingness
pure, vile boredom.
nowdays all my great deamons , who once carried that title with pride ,
they just sit around doing nothing. silch.
because, whats the point?
the humans are all locked in seperate chambers and are slowly going crazy. the are punished enough... the is nothing left to do for my deamons.. and why?!
because you stupid mortals are more evil than me. you create ever more ways to destroy others in ways that i could never have done...
and as i look around my domain i realise...
this is hell.

Living on this planet is hell enough, but I presume that being stuck in eternity with Cliff Richard and good Christians would be even worse.
Then again, being a tennis ball with a nerve system would be pretty hellish too.
Don't know about Cliff, but you can relax about that afterlife with Christians, don't think you'll see too many in eternity 😉
As for me... possibly being a teacher in a playschool for 5 year olds. Thats tough.
I must confess that I have recently been guilty of using a friend for sex and transportation to and from work. I truly love her as a friend but nothing more. I have always taken her for granted and now that I dont have her friendship I am truly heartbroken. Perhaps I loved her afterall. It is my hell that I created for myself knowing I have hurt others with my words and with my actions. I have lost a very good friend today because I am a lack of a better word a jerk. I hope that in time things can work themselves out and perhaps we can be friends again.

Any long haul flight. With thoughtless people who like to recline their seats in front with no consideration for people behind them.
Planes just aren't made for big blokes with long legs.
Of all the things to worry about when flying, not getting an aisle seat is my biggest fear. (Even if I then get my shins bruised by trolleys every 2 minutes.)
