Hey @Rayvin, you've already got great replies from pretty much everyone here. I'm just jumping in to say it sounds like we're roughly similar ages and I can categorically tell you you have absolutely not failed at life and have absolutely nothing to be ashamed about. You were so fucking close to reaching your goal, and it must be devastating to have to write that off for now and use those savings as a safety net, but you can get back there. You mentioned that a lot of your friends or peers all have their own houses, partners and kids. I'd bet my left testicle most of them have gone through (or are going through) long periods of uncertainty and felt the same way you do now. And I'll bet my right testicle that some of the ones who look like they've got it all worked out and are just cruising through life are actually fucking miserable. People who judge you on your employment status, job title, relationship status, or stuff like whether or not you own your own home are miserable cunts. Don't judge yourself on their standards.

You know you can quote two posts at once right?

He'd be absolutely fucking mental to make that move, so many clubs are after him that are better prospects. They've ruined everyone they've signed in the last five or six apart from Fernandes. He'd be better off coming to us to compete with Isak than going and being first choice there ffs

Liverpool have proper chucked it in since winning the title, 4 losses all season and three have been since the start of April. Salahs given up as well since getting his new contract. Hopefully this all bodes very poorly for them going into next season.

Wrong dickhead. I’m not doing mental gymnastics on what others need to do, I’m saying we need to win our game and not worry about what other teams are doing. The delicious irony is you’ve screenshotted the post that was aimed at taking the very piss out of your bedwetting endeavours

Lucy Pinder went there apparently

Aye, the voting system needs an overhaul. Two years in a row now the Israelis have engaged in widescale online promotion to mobilise the public vote for their entry (funded by the government), and there are enough people around Europe who think the Gaza genocide is a good thing that it keeps working a treat. It makes sense really - if you don't want to vote for Israel, you've got 25 other songs to choose from so the vote gets fragmented, whereas if you want to "support" Israel then that's the one that gets your vote, and you don't even have to watch the show because you've been fed YouTube and Facebook ads with the voting details for weeks beforehand. Add in the fact that you can vote up to 20 times using each payment method you have at your disposal, and guess who ends up getting most of the public douze points and will keep doing so for the foreseeable future? Obviously in a way it's no different to Ukraine always getting massive public votes these days (other than, you know, one of those examples is clearly the wronged party whereas the other case is something of a grey area at best). But plenty of governments and their associated broadcasters have no interest in condemning Israel at a level that actually matters, never mind at the level of a silly song competition, so here we are. Uk getting zero from the public made total sense on the other hand - the song takes about ten listens before you get the hang of what it's doing, which is nine more than anyone gets on the night. Still, it's been a few years since we were represented by people who can actually sing, so that's a step forward.

@Rayvin Not much more I can add that hasn’t been said , but keep your chin up mate. I went through the wringer career-wise and financially a few years back thanks to my cunt former partner, but it made me realise that money is not the be-all and end-all. Get yourself down to your local climbing wall, it’s a great way to de-stress, superb exercise and the blart is usually top notch

People just can’t stump up the cash anymore.

Theyre well know for paying like that.

I haven’t seen the video but wasn’t it just a small rat logo on the screen? It’s easy to miss but when you’ve got his profile you need to carefully vet everything you share.

Delap probably going there as well. Not sure those players are really making good career decisions.

It isn’t £62m though afaia. That’s the release clause if the fee is paid up front but Man U want to sign him on tick.

Ah, that makes sense then. He’s clearly worth a punt at that price and will have plenty of suitors. It’d be quite a weird decision to pick Man U if they lose the Europa league final and miss out on CL

I know, rite? Terrible time to be getting in to the hospitality trade.

Well that didn’t last long

Fucking Hell

Aye, including bonus. luckily I wasn’t on it that long that it had become “normal” lifestyle money.

There's no such thing a Stage 5 prostate cancer. My uncle died of metastatic prostate cancer, had very few urinary symptoms, then one day a vertebra snapped in his back. He survived another year, in extreme pain. I cannot telly you what a cunt Trump Junior is.

oh hello there banana skin.

it’s his release clause.

He’ll be distracted by his new pub he’s opening in Pennywell, The Thalidomide Arms. It’s already been done for short measures. Anyway, regarding the thread starter, it’s good to see the Return of The King, especially as we welcome Gollum Moyes. I can’t see anything but a resounding 5-0 for us.

Just seen this. @Rayvin, I'm quoting Spongey here as he is spot on. Loads of good advice from others and I'd struggle to add to it. What I would say though is when I was at my lowest ebb you absolutely were there for me and were a big factor in getting through it, both publicly and in your private messages. You've got remarkable empathy and compassion, but with that comes a tendency for self criticism and introspection which you 100% don't deserve. Keep going, you mention you are renting from a mate and there is a possible business opportunity with another one coming up relatively soon, so you have friends. I am sure you are much more liked and loved than you will ever credit yourself. Things will come good for you, I am sure of it. And never feel embarrassed about offloading on here, what do you young ones say..... yes, please always reach out when you are feeling down. Your darker thoughts scare me, I've been there, like you, only for fleeting moments thankfully. But that is bad enough.

Bong will fuck you up.
