    Not a flag, more wanton vandalism, but it made me smile while away from home.

    Don't want any overpriced show pony we have been used to over the years. When macclaren was at twenty he brought in the likes of Dusan Tadic and Bryan Ruiz from virtually nowhere. Why can't he do it here?

    Been thinking about posting on this thread for a while now ! But keep putting off from fear of what others may think ( stupid I know) . 
    Recently, say the past year or so . I've developed real bad anxiety before I go out. Mainly in social situations , where alcohol is involved . I know I'll be fine when I'm out (had a drink) but I get so worked up before , to the point were I'm literally in a daze for about a week before . 
    I'm going to the Huddersfield game( my first away game in a while) normally this would be fine , but I'm going with other people that are out of my immediate comfort zone and I'm getting myself into the same place mentally , were I don't want to be ! It's spoiling something that deep down I'm so excited about . Sorry for the long post and my whin9ng but really feel I needed to express my feelings some were especially were people may have been through the same thing .

    I wonder if your sub-conscious state of mind has something to do with it. Maybe, like me, you've discovered you don't like drinking, or the feeling afterwards and your mind is playing the association game.
    If you're already feeling a bit better about the situation, then maybe your own self-awareness of the problems and more importantly, the reason, will be the key to overcoming it.

    This thread just goes to show how common it is to have dark times in your life, and how little it is in the public domain.
    I struggled whilst at University, not really understanding who I was, questioning my value to those around me. That culminated on my 20th birthday when I left my friends at the time, went home and spent some time self-harming. Luckily I didn't do much damage, but for someone who was very happy and confident before going to University, was quite a shock to me, let alone friends and family.
    For me, I felt like I needed to make a change and take control back of my life which involved moving to Warsaw to teach English and be somewhere that needed me to rely on myself. Not saying that's the best option for everyone, but it worked for me. 
    Fast forward 12 years and my birthday at the end of May will see me 6 years married, a dog, mortgage, job I love, friends around me and having the confidence to stand up and perform a wedding ceremony for my friends myself. (I'm not a priest by the way!). That's all on top of a great year doing 1884 Group stuff and putting myself out there for ridicule.
    It's funny how life works, and I wouldn't want anybody to think I was trying to compare a low point in my life to the struggles others face, some of which are very difficult to read, but I hope I can give a shred of comfort that life can get better if you give it a chance to do so.

    Q, What's the difference between people who choose to have tattoos and people who don't ?
    A, People who choose to have tattoos don't feel compelled to comment about those that don't.

    It's the same stuff they implant into alcoholics to prevent them drinking.

    Yes, I know that it's taken me a long time to get it done, but tattoos were almost unheard of over here until a few years ago. When I first came over anyone who saw mine was really surprised.

    I have two Rams tattoos (amongst many others) , one on my shoulder and one on my wrist.
    As someone else said, have a good think about it first as they are with you for life. NEVER get a woman's name (unless it says 'Mum') The Rams on the other hand are with us for always.
