I don't bloody believe it, there is an actual website on this fellas problem.

"Known by a number of names Xanthophobia, Fear of the Color Yellow, and Fear of the Word Yellow being the most common, the problem often significantly impacts the quality of life. It can cause panic attacks and keep people apart from loved ones and business associates. Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and overall feelings of dread, although everyone experiences fear of the color yellow in their own way and may have different symptoms."

I cant believe im a freak :eek:

"Though a variety of potent drugs are often prescribed for fear of the color yellow" - hmmmm, wonder where that one leads...

"For anyone earning a living or at school, the financial toll of this phobia is incalculable. Living with fear means you can never concentrate fully and give your best. Lost opportunities. Poor performance or grades. Promotions that pass you by. Fear of The Color Yellow will likely cost you tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of your lifetime" - an excuse for all my failures at last!

im not sure whats scarier, that this exists or that you bothered to look it up

On a lighter note i feel that i should begin a petition to force SI to produce a special "Xanthophobics Edition" of FM where the colour yellow is completely banned due to the scarring it causes! I must have some brothers out there who share my fears!

Burn Norwich and Watford to the ground! let us rise up!

I somehow see him keeping away from East essex LLMing . Canvey, Braintree and Southend United would all disagree with ya.

Im an Essex boy anyway matey so will i most certainly stay away from Braintree. used to drink in the weatherspoons there, horrible place, thought they played in blue though? as for Canvey... the memory of school camping, adventure stylee, weekends there will certainly prevent me going anywhere near the place, yellow or no yellow

Amazing what one can find on Google. :cool:

retired_kris1971again

I live in Southend when i'm not at uni mate, I get the joy of having Canvey within 10 miles of me

retired_cmconlan2

ah i am chelmsford born and bred. there is only one place worse than Canvey, and that is Mersey island. if youve never had the joy of being flung down a 50ft zip rope and sleeping in a tent surronded by horse poo on mersey you are a lucky man.

oi oi Essex Boy btw
