My dad's gone the same way.
I'd never really heard him express any strong political opinions until recently, now he's banging on about immigration, scroungers and such like.  
It like he's forgotten he's married to an immigrant, in fact he married the same one twice ffs!

We have one too.
It's a right nasty piece of work and keeps attacking the visiting birds in the summer.
We call it Laurence. 

sadly, a colleague of my girlfriend had been struggling with mental health for a while, people were aware of his struggles, yet someone saw fit to complain about his standard of work, and reported/complained, eventually, he reached a cruel and devastating state of mind and decided to end it all. Some of my GF's friends are absolutely heartbroken having worked more closely with him (than my GF). We were in Prague over the weekend, and we had a few natural beers and it suddenly hit her quite hard, and she was totally bewildered and struggling to understand why this lovely fella had decided to take his own life.
In answer to some of her questions, I made reference to my own struggles, which I try to play down as low mood nowadays, but back when I started this thread, I was really struggling to find a reason to be alive. This shocked her a lot and I was mentioning some of the stories and explanations in this thread, and ultimately how it helped me.
I'm in a good place now, as I said a few weeks back, and I also know how to spot my decline and what to do to halt and reverse it. Basically, I jump on a treadmill 3 times a week for a month and I'm automatically on top of the world. I'm a rubbish runner, and it hurts, but sense of achievement is immense. I remember wanting to get to 1km non-stop, then 10mins, then 2km, then 2.5km nonstop, then all the way up to 5km nonstop, and then it was doing 5km in under 30mins, and eventually did it in 26mins, which for me was amazing having been medically advised to never run.
Anyway, what I am saying is, awareness is the first step to recovery, then needing to find your little cure is vital.

Thought that was @Rev?

Dwight Gayle checks each teams transfer thread, to see where he'd be most welcome.
Sees the Derby forum is like visiting Grandad in the care home, a load of confused oldies chuntering about half remembered TV plays of the 70's, and is overcome by the smell of boiled cabbage and piss.
Decides Aberdeen, the baltic temperatures and the sudocream man are no deterrent, and signs for the Dons.
 

Sorry bud, you got that all wrong.
What you forget is that there is only a limited supply of doctors. The more demand there is from paying clients in the private sector, the less work they are able to do in the NHS.
Private healthcare does not mean shorter waiting lists for the rest of us, it means longer ones.

Having met him with family when he was a young boy, all I can say is that James is a lovely lad. He's a huge Derby supporter along with his family. He's put a lot of effort and sacrifice into making forging his career in football so far, and to get what would be a dream job is great to see. Sure he's joined from Rotherham but don't let that discredit his talents in the role. He's now back home with his club.

Hopefully James sticks around longer than his predecessor who only joined last January from Rotherham. Carl Edwards has now packed his bags and left for New Zealand. https://www.friendsoffootballnz.com/2023/12/08/top-analyst-to-return-to-new-zealand-for-director-of-football-role-at-papamoa/ 
 

Occasionally, teams make a single signing that transforms the team. 
Virgil van Dyke at Liverpool, Kante at Leicester are good examples off the top of my head.
I think Warne has found a player in Adams who can have a similar positive effect. 
Fitted almost seamlessly into that midfield, and just made everyone around him that little bit more effective.
Keep him fit, and he'll make a massive difference come the end of the season.
Good pick up in the Jan window, and brave to slot him straight in, good call Paul.

Seen a few state that it was 3 points but a hard watch , not really how I saw it , I enjoyed it , hard fought win away against an out of form team who actually have some decent players who can hurt you ,it swung about with both teams having periods of looking on top and a piece of quality won it , the fans sounded fantastic on rtv ,
rinse and repeat , simple fact is we just need to go out and get as many wins as we can , that’s warnes job and he is doing pretty decent at it ,
max bird was beating his hand on the badge and was as good as I’ve seen him ( wasn’t sure how loan back would pan out ) , perhaps though knowing/feeling it was time for a new challenge he did it in a way that helped the club also ,,, as people have stated ,why not wait till season end and maximise his choices and money scenario, he has signed with a new club but brought in much needed money to derby and stayed on loan to obviously ( clear from yesterday) give his all to leave this club promoted and in a better place , perhaps the club wanted/ needed him to move now if not signing on for another contract , he has my support for the rest of the season for which he is very much one of us and my best wishes for the rest of his career
