  1. 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.
  2. they do Cheesy Beans now.
  3. Yes, I watched it straight after Squid Game. I quite enjoyed it.
  4. I'd be happy if he turned out so handsome
  5. Dexter has been home 1 week now. He's awesome little character.
  6. 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 😄
  7. we know you'd rather do this than almost everything anyway.....
  8. 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
  9. He's listed as a Daxijack. Dachshund mix Jack Russell.
  10. Meet Dexter. Our new addition Coming home in 2 weeks.
  11. In no order:- Boardwalk Empire Gomorrah Better than Us Sneaky Pete Fallen Sopranos The Wire True Detective Sons of Anarchy Mayor of Kingstown
  12. 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 😂
  13. I think we are going to compromise and call him Dexter... she has no idea where that inspiration came from 😄
  14. caught me off guard here and I just spat my tea out of the laptop screen 😄
  15. 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 😂
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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
  19. sadly, a colleague of my girlfriend had been struggling with mental health for a while, people were aware of his struggles, yet someone saw fit to complain about his standard of work, and reported/complained, eventually, he reached a cruel and devastating state of mind and decided to end it all. Some of my GF's friends are absolutely heartbroken having worked more closely with him (than my GF). We were in Prague over the weekend, and we had a few natural beers and it suddenly hit her quite hard, and she was totally bewildered and struggling to understand why this lovely fella had decided to take his own life. In answer to some of her questions, I made reference to my own struggles, which I try to play down as low mood nowadays, but back when I started this thread, I was really struggling to find a reason to be alive. This shocked her a lot and I was mentioning some of the stories and explanations in this thread, and ultimately how it helped me. I'm in a good place now, as I said a few weeks back, and I also know how to spot my decline and what to do to halt and reverse it. Basically, I jump on a treadmill 3 times a week for a month and I'm automatically on top of the world. I'm a rubbish runner, and it hurts, but sense of achievement is immense. I remember wanting to get to 1km non-stop, then 10mins, then 2km, then 2.5km nonstop, then all the way up to 5km nonstop, and then it was doing 5km in under 30mins, and eventually did it in 26mins, which for me was amazing having been medically advised to never run. Anyway, what I am saying is, awareness is the first step to recovery, then needing to find your little cure is vital.
  20. Off to Prague tomorrow for a long weekend with the GF. Not been for a few years, really looking forward to dragging her around, with her moaning that her feet hurt!
  21. Only really Malia is the party resort. Stalis is really quiet, for couples and families. Hersonnissos appears to be a bit more cosmopolitan nowadays, with lots of Dutch, German and eastern European holiday makers. but that said, is still very orderly and civilised, with people sitting down in bars etc. I will be visiting Stalis twice in 2024, once with some 40-50 year old mates to watch the first week of the Euros, and back in September with the missus. What I would say is that many places don't start their spruce and decorating until May, for June opening.
