I'm 6 months sober today, and apart from a couple of hiccups, I have drank very little in the time since my board meltdown 18 months or so ago (I'm guessing).
I'm sick of people in recovery circles saying alcohol is evil.
Alcohol isn't evil, I've had some of the best times of my life in its company.
It's just not right for some people, and too many people are uneducated about how it is/can affect them, but demonising something doesn't help. It just makes people with good intentions look evangelical and hysterical. 

Just because I can't drink responsibly doesn't mean I'm a miserable ducker and expect the world to abstain.

Problem is I don’t know what he likes half the time 😂 He was listening to Suede a few days before a tour went on sale. Bought tickets only for him to say he doesn’t like Suede 🤷🏻‍♀️ He’s into music but obscure stuff I know nothing about. He’s just started reading properly, bought a couple of books which turned out to ‘not be his thing’. Can’t bloody win 😂 

Leave it Bob!
 

Dr Who is utter nonsense 

@Bob The Badger reading this post...

People who don't know the difference between two, too and to, as well as their, there, and they're, should not be allowed to have keyboards or phones until they have taken a basic literacy test.
And people who don't know there is no such word as alot should be warned once. And then similarly, have their keyboard/phone removed.
Coincidentally or not, the above group of people all seem fond of the 🤡 emoji and think it somehow demonstrates the winning of an argument and/or a hysterical putdown.  In reality, it just demonstrates their stupidity and inability to say anything genuinely funny or meaningful.
They too shouldn't be allowed the ability to post anywhere at any time. Ever.

There was some really shoddy police work everywhere in the 1970s'!
I thought Mindhunter did a brilliant job of showing how the FBI started, it wasn't meant to make them look competent. Forensics and modern policing were in their infancy.
I think I read that the episodes that David Fincher directed involved shooting more footage than any other Netflix production in history, and because he couldn't do another series, it wasn't continued.
I'd give it a solid 9/10, maybe even 9.5.

Me two

I think so to

Exactly this.
Generate an atmosphere at Pride Park, have some good results and performances that fans can get behind. You want to see us sell more season tickets for 25/26 than for 24/25.
I think avoiding relegation is too low of a bar to set, we need be comfortably mid table and look more like we’re pushing ourselves into the top six than keeping our heads above water.
Play better football and win over the fanbase.
Warne has such a task on his hand to get results and improve the product on the pitch. Last season was my first in about a decade without a season ticket, i sat in the east stand for the final game and shocked how many people around me were moaning about the manager/football/players *as we got promoted in front of their very eyes*
If he’s going to stay the long course here, which everyone should be hoping for as you always want your current manager to be the one who’s capable of taking you to the Premier League, he needs to not only step up to the championship but show signs that we can play good football in the Championship.
Anyone talking about pushing for promotion needs a reality check, we’re probably going to have to sign over 10 players to compete in the Championship next season and if we don’t it will be because we have the likes of Collins and Hourihane still at the club.
A lot of change coming, you can’t expect a promotion push immediately, Ipswich are a huge, huge outlier who have one of the best young managers in the country and spent approx 10 million in League One before they came up.

Sorry, I meant how they started with criminal profiling.
 I liked this because it didn't flatter the FBI. US-produced stuff does have a tendency to make itself look great.
But at the end of the day, it's all personal tastes, and Mrs Badger wasn't a massive fan.

FInished Dopesick last night.
Very, very good.
A powerful look at the opioid crisis and how Purdue Pharma manipulated the system to make billions of dollars.
I like the way that, whereas the entire Sackler family looked bad, they didn't treat them as being evil. It strongly hinted at the cognitive biases that make us ALL think we're the good guys and that Richard Sackler, really thought he was healing the worlds pain
Michael Keaton was his usual excellent self, but honestly, Michael Stuhlbarg, playing Richard Sackler, was even better.
There wasn't a dud performance in the entire thing.
My only slight gripe was the frequency of flipping back and forth between the years. Probably a tad too much.
David Nish/10 (not the first 6 months).
It will either be The Responder or The @Comrade 86 recommended, We Own This City next
 

No 8-year-old has ever told a parent they want to hike up the 4 highest peaks in every country in the UK for charity. It's just a bunch of parents who are desperate to be told on radio and/or local TV how amazing their kids are.
Some posters are incapable of following the OP's request and, rather than starting their own thread, prefer to hijack someone else's.

Is it not weird that he doesn't mention his gaffer by name?
I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I did see Warne standing on a grassy knoll earlier today. 

Tea is the juice of the devil.
