    Cisse reacted to Day in Points Deduction, Who's Next And When Will It Stop?   
    Points deductions cannot be the answer, why are the management team and players punished for something out of their control?
    When the players were not paid on time, they were given another point deduction, double whammy there, much like ourselves when the points deduction relegated us. 
    Playing at a lower level, potentially missing out on international call ups, wage, bonus decrease....ok the club sees a loss of revenue and that hurts the owners in the pocket, yet those that are punished the most are everyone under the ownership.
    You have to issue fines to the owners, not insignificant fines that leave owners taking the risk. Withdrawing TV revenue money and other bonuses issued by the league. 
    Fines that make owners know that when entering the game they cannot F around here and take the piss. 
    Reading might be a terrible away day, their ground might be half empty with no atmosphere, but the staff, players, fans they don't deserve any of this.

    Belper tapas trail is now a world known phenomenon. I know that people are interested about it at least in Finland and Spain. 👍

    Also I'm 41 and have tattoos, I can only speak for myself and my own reasons to help you understand mine.
    Basically, I had a long battle with anxiety, which itself can be difficult to understand for older people, I didn't speak to my Dad for many years after telling me basically to "man up".
    "If there was a war on, you can't stay inside and refuse to fight as you're too scared to leave the house"
    Back to the anxiety, I lost most of my twenties and early 30s through it. My first tattoo was the date I launched this forum which was created during this time.
    I wanted it as a permanent reminder that I can go outside, sit in a chair and it's all perfectly normal.
    Being permanent was kinda the point, I never wanted to lose that reminder.
    It was only small, took maybe half hour to complete.
    Shortly after I had a relapse so it didn't really work, but fell in love with the tattoo culture, the stories they tell. Even the Benidorm 2023 arse cheek tattoo someone will have had done will be part of their story.
    As I came back out of my dark spell, I continued up my arm along the battle theme, my Dad was a manager at Rolls Royce, always took us plane spotting so I went with spitfires.
    I have a quote, there is no victory without a battle, a skull tattoo with a helmet missing a tooth and so on.
    They almost become a bit of an addiction, I wanted all my story on there, one of my favourites is my dog which I had done whilst he's still alive as I know when he's no longer here I will be in bits and could never sit and have it done without boiling my eyes out.
    My intention was only ever to have one, now I have 2 full sleeves, neck, spine, hands, half of one leg and a small bit on the other.
    It's my story permanently inked on my body. I won't lie, I have some which are just because I liked the art, but 90% are super meaningful to myself.
    They are not for everyone and I can see how some people may dislike tattoos, which is absolutely fine at the end of the day we're all individuals on our own paths in life. I would have no problem with any old person that turned to me and said my tattoos were s***.
    Oh I'm also technically obese as the NHS would say, I have no defence for that other than I love a few pints.

    I may have broken Belper. It was so busy, most places had sold out by 7.30. 
    Some frantic re-ordering happening for tomorrow

    I'm organising Belper Tapas Trail on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th September.
    Between 8 and 10 pubs will be serving Tapas dishes costing between £1 and £3 to have with your pint or glass of wine.
    Some of the pubs include Angels, Arkwrights, Belper House and the Railway, so some good beer knocking around too.
    Themes so far include Indian, Greek, Spanish and Pizza.
    I will have a full list and times by the end of the weekend.
    Here is the Facebook page if you thinking of coming. Please share it so we can get as many people there as possible.

    I'm not making any food or indeed money I'm just organising something new to the community.

    No details, but we know she's struggled with mental health and has attempted suicide in the past.
    Sounds like she's had a very screwed up life. I hope she's found some peace.

    Hey, don't pick on David. He is a NFL fan because of me. The same goes with wristwatches. Apparently I'm his idol and he found these great pleasures in life since I introduced them to him.😎

    I don't want to whine. We almost stopped existing a year ago. Now we lost to a team that is in top 2. If we had a better team, better manager and so on we would be in top 2 also. Well we ain't. We still can make a play offs and that is a lot.
