Congrats! 
Im in no place to give advice as Im not a parent or ever will be one for that matter. But Being a parent is a priviledge not a right. I trust you to do your best and be there for the kid, and thats all that matters!

Becoming an uncle for the first time.

No problem

Thanks ? Well it's just the right thing to do, the last thing i'd want to do is hurt or upset her. Thanks for all the advice btw i appreciate it ? 

A proper man
 
Anyone can be thoughtful and dignified when things are going their way and they are getting what they want from the other person. But it takes a truely remarkable man to stay considerate and put others before him when things arent going his way, and when the chips are against him

I care more about staying friends than anything else. We've known each other for coming on five years and are really close. I'd be devastated if that ended. 

Glad that  you actually care about the friendship too. A lot of guys dont. They just want to score lol

Yeah you're not wrong i guess. I was worried i'd crashed the friendship but that's all sorted so am at least relieved and happy about that. 

Fair play to you, more than Ill ever done lol @leedsram
 
On a serious note, better to fail and have no regrets than not try and always be thinking "what if, what if"
 
I cant and never be able to relate to you with regards with your issues with your close friend, but theres been plenty of times in the past where Ive ended up regretting the things that I HAVENT DONE instead

Thank you Needlesh, and I'm sorry for your loss.
I had a breakdown yesterday, which I've not done in a while, because I feel I trust people who don't give anything back. Maybe that's me being a honest person. You're right, people and employers are shitbags. They never give me anything in return, yet I don't understand why I feel so hurt by it. Is it caring for the job too much?  

I don't think I can say this without sounding a dick, but I'm going to hope you get it anyway...
I'm comfortably well off, but my missus passed away. I'd reverse those things in a heartbeat.
Life deals harsh cards sometimes; people and employers can be shitbags. You'll get through being skint, so long as you stick together for each other...and then you won't be skint, and you'll be stronger for the shared effort. Good luck SSD.

This drives me nuts.
I was in the fast lane on a busy A1 the other day but the traffic wasn't moving massively faster than the other lane. A car in lane 1 put his indicator on just before I came along side him, and as I passed him slowly, I could see he was effing and jeffing at me because presumably I hadn't slammed my brakes on and let him out in front of me.

TBH if someone is making you upset- get rid of it! Think he has made the right decision. It doesnt matter what it is, football, dcfcfans forum, facebook, ducking dating sites- it doesnt matter. If something is causing your day to be more miserable- get bloody rid

Please don’t remove your account mate.
Just have a break if you need it.

Motorway etiquette.
Had the pleasure of driving to the southwest and back this weekend. Bit of M5 from M42 to M4 in both directions was awful, people hogging the middle lane meaning slow overtakers doing 65 in the fast lane, then nobody getting out of the way once they'd finally overtaken.
Drives me mad and makes journeys take so much longer.
Drove in France recently and never had this issue the whole time. So annoying.

Tell you what, makes you realise, if you didn’t before, how good those loans were for this level. 
We scraped into 6th last season. It was a helluva ride, but ultimately that was the end result. 
The commentator on talk sport mentioned about how many points were gained by Harry’s freekicks, and who’s going to score those free kicks now?
That really hit it home for me, and this more so. 
Without Harry scoring some top draw belters, not to mention tomori and mount’s contribution, we would have been a distinctly average team, finishing in a distinctly average position. 
We’ve not replaced those players. But we were never, seriously, likely too. They were a cut above, and trying to get in 3 more loans of the same calibre would be like winning the lottery, then winning it again the next week. Not going to happen. 
So we are what we are, we have the players we have, if anyone thinks Cocu’s going for promotion this season, they’re dreaming. Top 6 would be an almighty achievement with this squad. 

Good for Campbell that. Will feel a bit pooh but he's been in with Linares and Loma now and showed he's no whipping boy. He'll surely get some more big fights and be able to sniff around the top dogs
Loma, just got the answer to everything. He's not the biggest or strongest but he's incredible. 
4 in a row quit on him. An olympic champion and a KO artist had had enough after 6 rounds. He's fought Olympians, KO artists, Mexican pressure fighters... whatever you put in front of him he does to you whatever you want to do to him. 
Another monster from Ukraine. ?
 

feel free to expand if you want to sounds us out. It's all down to how comfortable you are with revealing it, but you're unknown to me, and I imagine a lot of the forum, so you're as good as anonymous. You might be surprised by a) how relieved you feel just putting stuff down into words and b) how many people understand it all, have been through similar and can give some good basic advice on coping.
Remember, you're not alone. 

I don't like that mentality though. People have different breaking points and I think too many people on their arse are kind of trapped because they haven't actually got anything wrong. They're not ill, they have no money issues, they have a family, enjoy their job etc. 
Sometimes people just break and they shouldn't have to worry about how valid it is. If you're on your arse then you're on your arse. No jokes intended there. 
 
 

Echo the sentiments here. Too many parents dont understand the priviledge and responsibility of having children though. As someone who will never have them myself, I find it absolutely appalling. Society is broken and its not donald trump, jeremy corbyn or anyone elses fault. We need to take responsibility for our actions and raise kids with principles, values and morals

Since my wife died, it's been a bit of a scrap to keep plodding on, but I've been making progress. Back at work, back talking objectionable poo on here, trying to get out and about...
Aside from our kids, the biggest thing that's dragged me out of bed to do anything in a morning has been our dog. He's a lovely lad and I've been completely converted from cat person to dog person. My late wife always wanted a pup as a girl but her old man wouldn't have it, so when we found out she was terminally ill we got him to tick it off her bucket list. Not only is he a link to my late wife, but his complete devotion to us and bouncy enthusiasm helps bond us together.
He's only 18 months old, but he's sick. I've been up with him since first light and just had to drop him at the vet for various tests. He's been sick till there's nothing but bile, not drinking, not moving, struggling to breathe and I'm scared of what they're going to find. 
Watching him helpless, hoping for every next breath, the echoes of nursing my missus in her last weeks are ripping all the old wounds open. If he goes, I'm never again having another living thing in my life I care a poo about. The pain of caring and losing isn't worth the joy.
ducking savage low this morning.
