Some nice kits there and some proper breasticles on your mannequin!

As I am embarking on a new group project to document the history of the Derby County kit with a couple of likeminded souls I thought that it was time to actually document my shirts and look at what I have got, so I thought I would share that with the DCFCFANS.UK famalam.
i have just grabbed the first lot of the rail, I will then photograph each one on a mannequin or what ever they are called and post them up on here for those who may be interested, for those who are not then apologies in advance as it’s probs gonna drag on a while.
any how I thought I would lay out the first lot and if I say so my self there are some nice items in the first batch, these are on the whole 1970 to 1989 ish, there are a couple of rogue newer ones slipped in aswell.
here goes

This may be of interest to someone. A friend of mine has 2 tickets in a corporate box for the next England v Belgium game Thur 28th June. He paid £300 each including flights but he didn't realise when he bought them months ago that it was going to be the same day as his wedding! If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place.
 
 
 


It's at Queens Road Registry Office, at 4pm. The bride's name is Nicola -- she's 5'4", about 8 stone, nice tits , quite pretty, has her own income and is a really good cook. Pm for more details.

A man wakes up in the hospital, bandaged from head to foot.
 
The doctor comes in and says, "Ah, I see you've regained consciousness.

Now, you probably won't remember, but you were in a pile-up on the motorway.  You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and everything, but...
"Something happened.  I'm trying to break this gently, but the fact is, your willy was chopped off in the wreck and we were unable to find it."

The man groans, but the doctor goes on, "You've got £9000 in insurance compensation coming and we have the technology now to build you a new willy that will work as well as your old one did - better in fact! But the thing is, it doesn't come cheap. It's £1000 an inch."
The man perks up at this. "So," the doctor says, "It's for you to decide how many inches you want. But it's something you'd better discuss with your wife. I mean, if you had a five inch one before, and you decide to go for a nine incher, she might be a bit put out. But if you had a nine inch one before, and you decide only to invest in a five incher this time, she might be disappointed. So it's important that she plays a role in helping you make the decision."
 
 
The man agrees to talk with his wife.
 
The doctor comes back the next day. "So," says the doctor, "have you spoken with your wife?"
 
"I have," says the man.
 
 
 "And what is the decision?" asks the doctor.
  
  "We're having granite worktops."

Since my wife left, I have bought a motorbike, took drugs and as I type this I'm in bed with 2 Romanian prostitutes.
She will be furious when she gets home from work.
 

Computer Logic

A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.'
'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'

A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'�
�
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. �
�
Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
�
The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;

2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;

3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.


�
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;

2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

I saw a movie last night about beavers making homes in their natural habitat. 
It was the best dam movie I've ever seen.

I have got the missus to take part in a social experiment.
I have got her to wear a Forest shirt for a week.
One day in and she said she had already been kicked, punched and spat on. 
God knows how she'll go on when she leaves the house.

I mean, if youre in your bedroom and the home pod is in the living room, and you want to ask Siri for something, your phone would probably just answer. So the main difference with the home pod is the speaker set up. 
I’ve got loads of Apple kit, and I will be getting a home pod, but I don’t imagine being able to justify a second for a long time. 

Going through quite similar to this at the moment! and i'm sure many more are but are too afraid to admit it.
Life is one hell of a journey, but we'll get through it. Do whatever you can to release your problems. Support on this forum is fantastic!

This is a long thread to catch up on, so, to be honest, I haven’t. 
So I’ll tell you about my wife because a) you, or someone else, might find it interesting, and b) you, or someone else, might have some advice. 
She came home from work in an ambulance just before Christmas. She was having pains in her chest, but ignored it, then she just broke down in tears on the phone to a random customer. 
They called 111, who got a paramedic out, and cos she’s had issues with her heart before, she called an ambulance. 
Turns out it wasn’t a recurrence of her heart issue, but an anxiety attack, which can cause a pain in the chest, which feels like it’s the heart, but it’s not. 
Shes was the 5th in a team of 8 to go off with stress, including her manager. 
Thing is though, it’s not the job that has necessarily sent her over the edge. It’s the kids. 
She’s been seeing a therapist now. And moving away from her family and friends 9 years ago was bad enough. But what really kicked it off was finding out we were expecting a surprise package, just 3 or 4 months after the second (the 1st is a bit older 5 when the second was born, and an absolute god send most of the time). But two babies is hard work. 
I know this thread starts with the question, what are the signs. 
Well this really worried me, as I knew she was getting more and more stressed. She’d get up in the middle of the night, and I’d find her sat in the living room crying and contemplating the decisions that got her to this point. And crying over the guilt of sort of blaming our daughter, and therefore not being able to bond with her like she wants to (despite clearly loving her to bits). 
I’m not a great help. I’m self employed, so I’m very inconsistent. Sometimes I’m around for the school run and bath time. But sometimes I’m out til 10pm without much warning. And there’s added stress from me never really knowing what I’m gojng to earn from one week to the next.
I’d get texts from her saying she’s going punch a kid in the face soon. 
I kept thinking, it’ll get easier, and tried to reassures her that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. They’ll get slightly less dependant week after week. And she’ll be fine. 
But then I kept worrying that that is probably exactly what husbands do, right before their wife wraps the kids in the back of a car and drives into a river. I’m sure my wife would never ever contemplate that, but I bet they said the same thing. 
I did at least her recognise all was not well, and told her she should speak to the doctor  but she bever did  
So im very glad she had this break down at work. As it got her to go to the doctor and the therapist. 
Thing is, she really wants to go back to work. When she was on maternity leave, going back to work was her light at the end of the tunnel, and she really enjoyed going back. But then it started getting really stressful at work too, and that was the final straw. No sanctuary anywhere. 
A couple of weeks ago, she was scheduled to go back to work (they’ve made some changes apparently, and most people in her team have returned now), on half days, but got a chest infection. She thought, she couldn’t possibly call in sick on her first day back, so she went anyway for 2 days, and then had to call in sick on the 3rd. 
The next week she went back to work and started getting pains in her chest again. She didn’t feel mentally too stressed though. She went to the pharmacist at lunch time, who said that he should really be calling an ambulance again, if those were her symptoms. She played it down and had a return to work interview with her manager in the afternoon. 
I told her to tell her manager about it, and she sent her straight home (after she made her manager cry with all she’s been through). 
I told her that it’s like coming back after a major operation. Even if you feel okay, you still need to give it a couple of weeks after that, not just jump straight back in. 
The new plan is that she’ll take a couple of weeks off, then go back for 2 hours a day for a few weeks. I’m not sure how that’ll work. 
Now im stressing out, cos, to be honest, I’ve had a very stressful couple of years (which, to be honest, my wife has probably had a lot of it deflected into her). Now I’m desperately trying to make the next big thing happen, so she doesn’t have to go back to work, but at the same time I’m trying to pick up the slack at home to give her less to worry about, taking her out for nice lunches and things when the kids are at nursery (when I really should be working). 
Now, to add insult to injury, Nursery has shut for the day, on the one day a week we get to truly relax. No rest for the wicked!

That’s like expecting brake pads and tyres to be included in a cars warranty. 

Really David, many many thanks. My little rant and your logical response stired me in to action. Jeepers ... I now have my own ID and we have sorted sharing .... Eureka 
 

I get your frustration. iPads should certainly have the ability for account switching. We have 3 family iPads, theyre not personal device, I can’t wven remember who’s account is logged in. We tried having a family account once, but now a bunch of our calendars are attached to that account and it’s teally hard to therefore delete that account altogether, even though we’ve given up on the idea of a family account now (and Apple, to be fair, have made it easier to share things among families). But the iPad Pro is going to lead to even more people sharing an iPad. You’re not going to have one iPad Pro per person in a family of 5. 
And because of all these accounts and devices, I’m never really sure where my photos are. They keeping doing major updates to the photos app on the MacBook. But I don’t dare even look in it now. God knows what’s in there. 
I try to avoid taking photos at all now, weirdly enough, and just get my wife to take them all. 
I appreciate what they’re doing with moments and things. That’s a great idea, and the little videos actually do work really well. But I’ve got out of the having of taking photos now, for fear of where they’ll end up, or of having thousands of photos of the same thing that I’m never bothered to delete the crap ones of. 
I should try to get back into the habit. 
I keep thinking, if I could just use this ecosystem properly, it could be wonderful, but I haven’t quite cracked it to my satisfaction. 
Its still 100 times better than android or Microsoft though.

Coco - 8/10 - the twist is a bit obvious (although my wife gasped and I was thinking ‘really, you hadn’t worked that out yet’), but it’s pribably good for kids - but besides that, Pixar have donebit again. Take some tissues, I don’t care how hard you think you are (although no child should see her Dad cry, so you should probably just go alone). 
And, my wife being South American (from Peru), lots of it was very close to home, like going to see her family (she cried more at Paddington though). 

I was contemplating the other daybthe itonybthat I leepntelling my kids to get off the iPad, but then they probably see me with my smartphone in hand 90% of the time (like now, at the breakfast table). 
I say I’m doing important working. That might be a lie. 
Bit I’m hoping if my kids see me doing it, they’ll think it’s not cool. The next generation probably won’t use them half as much (wishful thinking). 

I'd stay off the smartphone during breakfast if that's what your coming out with! ?

Yes of course, but that doesn't mean their name isn't ironic given that 'smartphones' seem capable of gradually decreasing the intelligence of their users over time.
Not that I'm advocating not using them. There is no going back now, they are far too useful. But given that they can negatively effect our ability to concentrate and can actually cause some users brains to produce cortisol after brief moments without their phones, there are some reasons to be concerned about the way they are changing our behaviour.
Couldn't care less about the whole Apple vs Android debate.

You should have persevered. When I switched from Android to iPhone I hated it for the first two or three weeks. Once I’d got used to it I realised it I realised it was so much easier and just did everything better. 

*** Contains naughty words, don’t watch if kids present ****
 

The infrastructure being inflexible isn’t kind of the point. I don’t want to spend days looking for a phone, watch, tablet, router, docking station, home hub etc. 
I spent hours just trying to compare Alexa with the google home hub thingy for my sister. I won’t have to do that for myself, I’m just going to buy the Apple one, dead easy, saves me loads of time, one less thing to worry about. And I know it will all just work seamlessly. 
I went from Windows to a mac, having been an avid supporter of Windows, took me about 3 days to realise the interface and the intuitiveness was far superior. At the same time I moved from an android to an iPhone and never looked back. I try to use an android now, and it’s just so unintuitive, I cant find anything on it.
