where they make a big deal of saying the beef they use is British or Irish! Who cares?

I really really hate some ads enough that I would refuse the product if it was free. 

Huel. I get that ad whenever I use my phone. 

You know adverts that show middle aged professional men doing a rap? Car adverts tend to do it. What year was it that somebody first laughed about an out of touch white man getting down with the kidz. 

What??! Liverpool players are using Nivea? That's why their skin looks so great on Match of The Day!! It all makes so much sense. Oh, look how much fun they're having rubbing it in! While in full kit too. Add to basket

someone listens to Talksport a lot! 😄

If you pull a face and the wind changes direction you'll stay like it.  

I was going to say this one.

Also,

- (I have moles/birth marks) and if they got caught, scratched, or picked, I'd bleed to death! Led to years of panic when play fighting and someone caught the massive mole on my body

- anyone who had a painting of the crying boy in their living room would suddenly have their house burn down

- if you peeped at Santa Claus as he put your presents at the end of the bed, he'd take them all away

- if you were in the road and a car came, no way would the driver stop and avoid killing you, the driver would run you over, no matter if he/she knew you were there! 😄

- I also used to panic if the engine was running and my dad got out of the car, I couldn't understand 'Neutral'

Always hate this month as it would have been my dad's birthday. This year he'd have been 60. Also got the additional stress of my academic job contract running down and trying to work out if I'll get an extension or not... with my industry in the doldrums it's not a fun time to say the least. Also been feeling really down generally with work and struggling to find the motivation to finish what needs to be done. 

not wishing to downplay your worries in any way shape or form, and would never tell you how to feel about a beloved family member, but I have vast experience in the contracting/redundancy and general lack of security, and as s*** as it is, I've found that as long as I pick myself up, dust myself down, and conduct myself properly, the rewards will come and the situation resolves itself, I hope that whatever happens workwise, you back yourself and your ability and you are fine.

I don't have the words, but like others, I truly and sincerely wish all of you the best.

So disappointing to see the Work & Pensions Secretary Mel Stride saying that the de-stigmatisation of mental health issues has gone “too far” and that we should just consider it the “normal ups and downs of human life”

I'm pretty sure that most people who have contributed to this thread have had their mental health struggles and found that it's the de-stigmatisation of mental health issues which has allowed them to open up - and that's a brilliant thing. None of us are alone

It disgusts me that we have dinosaurs like this in positions of power who think we should  go back to the days of telling people to "just get over it" 😞

I think it's dangerous. The link between men (particularly in my age range) committing suicide and their feelings of not wanting to burden/bother anyone is quite large. When I was in my bad place, the feeling of solitude and nobody understanding was quite overwhelming. This forum helped me get away from those feelings and took away my shame and embarrassment for the feelings I had. This, in a long line of out of touch politicians, has been quite stupid here but I hope we have come too far and will continue to.

Aftershaves

they do Cheesy Beans now.

Has anybody seen this on Netflix? I just had it recommended to me. I've never heard of it. It gets 8.4 on IMDb but the trailer looks a bit hammy to me.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13433812/

 

 

Yes, I watched it straight after Squid Game. I quite enjoyed it.

Dexter has been home 1 week now. He's awesome little character.

I know Nidge should get his comeuppance but I strangely have grown to like his character even though he is a complete sh!t 😁

I lost the argument to name our new puppy Nidge, based on her not wanting the dog named after a violent, murdering psychopath. 

Weird how she agreed to name him Dexter though 😄

I’d rather massage my dangly bits with nettles every morning

we know you'd rather do this than almost everything anyway..... 

I have plenty, but on reflection, is shows me in a bad light for being judgemental

• people proud of being drug-users "I'm 420-friendly..". Do what you like, but be discreet
• people with lack of pride in their parenting skills
• white guys in England dressing like Bloods/Crips
• youngsters playing crap music aloud on their phones. Always seems to be Drill/Rap/Grime, never Easy Listening 😄
• people making excuses for the poor behaviour of their children
• people having dogs they cannot physically handle!
• people who cannot let go of the past! Brian Clough was 50years ago, let it go FFS

I’m still winding the missus up saying our next puppy will be called Nidge. She actually got out of bed in a huff this morning about it 😂

Talking about getting a puppy, and I've suggested calling it Nidge after the Love/ Hate character. The missus' bottom lip has grown and she no longer wants a puppy 😂

I think we are going to compromise and call him Dexter... she has no idea where that inspiration came from 😄

I really hope he's guilty. I'd hate for this to be some sort of example being dished out to a Egotistical Superstar! However is it too lenient.

I know of someone who got two years for celebrating a Big Win on the horses by running along the bar slapping everyone's bum! Now a registered sex-offender who spent 2 years at her majesty's pleasure. 

If he's guilty, glad he's not got away with it. I'm still confused by the Mendy and Greenwood situations.

I've always found it weird that people can hate or dislike someone they disagree with on the internet. I blame the government for running down the Pub industry. Back in t'day, these conversations would happen over a table and a beer but everyone was still mates about it. I've had hours of football disagreements with all my mates, especially Liverpool fans! But there's no hatred. People need to grow a backbone and stop being so fecking precious about being "shotdown"... so what if someone thinks you're wrong!!

Ed Dawes is marmite for me. In general, he's a pretty good commentator, and anyone who thinks he isn't, should travel around the country and listen to what some clubs have to put up with. Dawes is very high up on the standard of local radio commentary I can assure you.

He has been guilty of going rogue in commentary a few times, some attempts at "banter" fell flat, albeit the intention was good.

based on recommendations in this thread, me and the GF have watched Love/Hate over the last month or so.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, some great characters. Sadly some written out in first 2 seasons.

Underlying feeling is that the writers had to wrap it all up in the last episode or two and it felt a little rushed and the show deserved better.

Still a cracker though
