ariotofmyown Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 11 hours ago, DarkFruitsRam7 said: Time for my semi-regular disappearance off the forum for a while, starting tomorrow. This time to pursue a business venture. I’m taking 5/6 months away from drinking, partying and non-work-related social media to maximise the (statistically slim) chances of getting it off the ground. It’s a big change of lifestyle, but I’m terrible at saying no to fun things, and I need a change of environment to ensure I can properly get my head down and graft my arse off. The biggest sacrifice I’m making, however, is not attending any Derby games until Christmas. Those who know me will know following the team home and away is a huge part of my life that I’ll miss terribly. I’m hoping it will be worth the sacrifice though, and I intend to be back in the stands from Christmas onwards as part of a more balanced life. I thought I’d post about it in here in case anyone notices I’m missing and wonders where I’ve gone (incredibly unlikely, I know). I’m tagging you in this @B4ev6is so you know I’m not ignoring any of your messages! So to those who, god forbid, may miss me, I bid you a fond farewell and will see you when the snow is falling, Derby are top of the league and England are champions of the world! Up the Rams, DFR x So basically, what you are saying is that you are dreaming of a white Christmas. Good luck in your venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can give this new business venture everything you have whilst allowing yourself time to unwind. If @DarkFruitsRam7 leaves the forum and then strangely reappears as a Mod on the Werder Bremen forum, will you get compo? jono, DarkFruitsRam7 and Mucker1884 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel giddy at the thought. Must be a good venture.

Up the Rams, DFR x I don't usually visit Jim Smith's room, but I'm currently having my first ever dark fruit cider in London and wanted to give you a shout about it. Conveniently, you had posted this. I can fully understand your decision to have half an year without this poo. Makes me wanna quit drinking as well. Tastes like cider made for children. Absolutely horrendous stuff. Mostyn6, ThePrisoner, Mucker1884 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Only just seen this. In the likely event @DarkFruitsRam7has no willpower and is still reading the forum, good luck with the new venture! And turn off the site and do other more productive things. Though, as a side note, isn't it great that we can be excited about Derby again? See you on the other side.

Bob The Badger Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Can't be arsed to read all the advice you've been given but there are two sides to the equation. If you think your GSE' will be important in the great scheme of things, then YES, get off now. Do NOT try and use a finite resource like willpower to moderate your behaviour. If you think you will look back on your GCS's as largely irrelevant, then for gods-sake man, stay where you are. Oh, I just looked up and say you were aiming for a months banning. Probably wise. You *may* regret staying on the forum, but few people ever regret passing exams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
