    CWC1983 got a reaction from Inverurie Ram in Beer Thread   
    My brother had a load of their stuff when I went round to his at Christmas, very nice.  He also gave me some raspberry beer and some blackcurrant beer that were an acquired taste.......
    He is trying to stock some in Elrick.

    I enjoyed a few Leffe's yesterday with crackers, cheese and cottage delight sweet apple chutney.
    I enjoy the Guiness craft lager stuff and I'm also someone that can swing both ways, enjoy the light, enjoy the dark I say.
    If any of you wonderful folk are ever up this way check out 6 Degrees North Belgium pub in Aberdeen, Stonehaven, which has now also opened up in Glasgow and Edinburgh and looking to open up in England etc. Absolutely far better than the very overrated Brew Dog, a lot of that stuff tastes like home made perfume, what kids made out of petals when they were 5, not that I drunk many pints of kids perfume when I was 5 or now, but I think you'll get my drift. Plus you have to have a silly beard and gel your hair back and wear lumberjack shirts and think you look cool to drink the overrated pish!
    The owner of 6 D N, a lovely man, gave us a box of various beers when my youngest lad was born, lovely stuff.

    Getting stuck directly behind other cars on a slip road when the driver in front has decided that it's acceptable to join a 70mph road going 45/50 !
    Invariably you get someone further behind you who's in a position to see this, hangs back a bit and then built up the requisite speed for when they enter the carriageway, who'll then giddily overtake you and the slow ******* infront. (No fault implied to the person behind)
    That's bad enough, but will often be followed immediately by a stream of vehicles in the right hand lane also overtaking, thus locking you in place, unable to get to get up to road speed and unable to overtake the slow **** in front of you who's still only doing 60 at most, 10/20 seconds later! (and even at 60 they'll be pressing their brakes uneccessarily)

    Not really annoyed I supposed, more confused really.  Why do people need to do this while at a game?  Do their eyes no longer work unless images are filtered through a tiny screen.  Do they really feel they need to record these moment so they can relive the action later.. ...don't they know there are professionals with TV cameras recording everything anyway, and you can find and replay the goals or whatever a hundred times if you wish.

    threads that I am bored of reading, right now, the Brexit or Eurin thread, and the gay footballers thread.
    showing as having new posts in the Football and The Pub sections and when you get there, it's threads you have no interest in.

    If everyone knew the score (15 years ban non negotiable ) before using their phones then many many people will think twice about risking it. A good thing . You'll always get those who simply don't give a toss and will still do it anyway.
    These are likely to be the more persistent offenders so hopefully they'll get caught one day and be off the roads for 15 years or at the very least they might take more care about driving and using their phones than they did before even though they are still doing it.
    Those currently that drive round holding their phones to their ears should also be fined 5,000k in addition just for being total cretins.
    Yes there will be loads of people unable to drive their kids to school or drive to work having been caught but there are loads of people out there who manage perfectly well without a car so they need to accept responsibility for being a stupid moron and get on with life as best they can without bleating about it.
    Agree about the Brexit thread though Mostyn. Well, Brexit in general really. My life hasn't changed one iota since Brexit and it won't. People are obsessed with it. Just get on with your lives and what happens happens is what I say. The world still turns. We have food, water and can go and watch Derby. What's the problem?

    Hi mate, sorry to hear that. I recognise a lot of what you are saying, especially regarding the job and the pressure it puts on us when change happens. It happens a lot in my career and it used to scare the hell out of me, and it still makes me anxious nowadays, but at a lower level. 
    We have a health and safety get together in the office every 2 weeks and it usually boring, however this week one of the guys did a 5 minute talk about how change in the workplace affects our mental health. 
    He quoted a 5 stage process of how we react to change, sorry I cant remember the name for it, but you will find it online. It sounds like you are in the first stage of "why me". Its a natural reaction that everyone will be going through. The good thing is that you a talking about it. 
    I try to treat new work circumstances like a new chapter of a book. I try to look forward and pick out the positives.
    Try not to bottle it in, talk to friends and family. Hopefully even typing it out on this forum helps, even if its just a little bit.

    Give it a rest lads, you're not in the MI5. Nobody is interested what you've got to say so just say it. Fans are more interested in what you do.

    Impressive. A couple of comfortable defences then take Fury/Klitshko. Leave Wilder until further down the line. Haye would be a dangerous fight next.
