Feeling lonely? You're not alone. With seven million people living on their own, Britain is turning into a nation of loners - and it's making us ill. By Jan Masters

A serious problem in US as well.

I wonder if the editors of the Telegraph have gotten lonelier ever since they went stark raving mad.

[Doogle]

LOL

You have to feel sorry for all those muslim males not having time for a social life because they are too busy building all those bombs. What a sacrifice!

Lonely? Lonely?? Not since I tried the Eleanor Rigby Beauty line. My face has never looked so good. The one I keep in the jar by the door, that is...*que string section, please* LOVE that song.

Loneliness is being stuck in a room full of libs agreeing with each other.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

What a bunch of crock.

People enjoy having their own space and being independent.

That doesn't mean they're going to succumb to misery and turn into a serial killer.

[ZinGirl]

not if one has a BIIIIIIIIIIG drink as a friend....(and how ELSE could you handle a rom full of libs except with said drink?)

;)

LOL!

I'll tell you what loneliness is: Helen Thomas' hope chest.

Feeling lonely? You're not alone. With seven million people living on their own, Britain is turning into a nation of loners - and it's making us ill.

Ok, I read the article and the correlation between these three statements.... "Feeling lonely?" and " With seven million people living on their own" "Britain is turning into a nation of loners" Still makes no sense to me.

Living alone, being lonely and being a loner are all different things that quite often have nothing to do with each other.

Some of the most lonely people I have know have been those living with other people. It certainly was the time when I felt the most lonely.

Being a loner is quite another thing as well and has nothing to do with either living alone or being lonely.

I can attest. I'm in good shape now, as I live with a couple of my roommates from college, but our landlord is getting married in about a year. That puts me living alone. I'm not looking forward to it. I'd never tell my landlord as such, and I am very happy that he's getting married, but it still isn't something I'm excited about.

[Slings and Arrows]

Ah, leave me alone.

Helen Thomas' hope chest.

I was cleaning my glasses and only saw the words "Helen Thomas' chest"....you owe me for the chiroquackter's bill I'm gonna get Monday, because I just had a world-record-breaking pisschill.

Interesting that in my neighborhood there are 4 homes (we're talking 2 story 4 bedrooms) that were purchased within the last year by single people. One of the neighbors is older, 3 are yuppie-ish.

I'm not saying they are lonely, but they own their home alone.
Just thought it was interesting.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Bwhahaha!!! Sorry! Talk about LONELY! That's even worse!

[umgud]

I'm so lonely that I talk to telemarketers. Drives them nuts cuz they can't get me off the phone and usually have to hang up on me.
