Ridiculous. Saying that, the bairn text me from his dad’s yesterday saying “Does that mean school will be closed tomorrow?!” He’s only been back a day ffs 😁

Some common sense prevails! And not just because I’ve got tickets for Durham on Saturday 😁

Ohhhh the BBC have just spectacularly fucked up their subtitles when describing Camilla’s title of Queen Consort rather than Queen Regina 🙈

i noticed Ed Miliband tweeting last night that he was looking forward to working with him and that he hoped he’d remember we were in the 2020’s not the 1820’s 😁

Alex Hailes added to T20 World Cup squad after Bairstow’s freak leg break. I honestly thought his England chances were done. This will be very interesting given Stokes referred to him as “My friend at the time” during his recent documentary..

I think every time Braverman (real name Sue-Ellen) speaks in the Commons someone should scream “You’re a drunk, a tramp and an unfit mother!” JR-stylee. I’ve actively avoided news in all forms over the last 2 days because it’s so fucking depressing. Just found out that Health is safe in the hands of another incompetent mess.

Never had it. Never had a night off work throughout the madness. No side effects from any of the vaccines or booster. Never added to anyone’s T&T so didn’t even get a sly 10 days off for nowt. Worked on Covid ITU and was present at at least 50 intubations of deteriorating covid patients. I’m either invincible or a robot. And I think I win.

So sorry to hear this ☹️ It’s horrible, especially after having them so long. Both mine are gone now after 15yrs and I still wait for them to belt down the stairs in a morning when I get home from work and it’s a year since I lost the last one.

Potts dropped and Robinson back in for tomorrow’s test. Crawley keeps his place. Will be interesting to see if Robinson has improved his fitness to be able to last the 5 days * *may not be 5 days

😁

I can up the stakes next time I get something horrific. 😁

I went to the match yesterday - the first Prem game I’ve been to in years. Some observations stood out: - the atmosphere was ridiculous. Much has been made of the support and when you see it on TV you can see it but it was something else. It felt different to anything I’ve felt when I’ve been there before even back in the day when we were challenging for the title. Complete goosebumps. - ASM was outstanding. My only criticism would be that there were a couple of occasions when he should’ve gone for goal himself instead of looking to pass it, which is in complete contrast to when we’ve screamed at him to pass it in the past. - The ref was abysmal. - We actually have a defence that means I don’t absolutely shit myself when the ball is anywhere over the halfway line. - Jack Grealish must now wish he could play like Miggy. - Everything about Bruno. - Trippier’s free kick. - One of the first people I saw when I got there was JawD which was class and felt like no time had passed at all except we both had our kids with us. - My teenager clearly isn’t going to follow in my footsteps by staying out for hours in the pub post-match as we went for one drink and he wanted to know if we were going home soon 😆 Class day ❤️

Completely agree. I’m all for the more positive mindset - it’s felt different since Stokes has had the captaincy but aggression shouldn’t equal recklessness and fuck the consequences. In his interview after the loss at Lord’s he was stubbornly refusing to even contemplate that there was any other way to play and I think that needs to be reigned in a bit.

I know you’ve all missed my tales from the world of the NHS so just to ease you into the weekend I’ve spent half the night in an operating theatre with a patient who had necrotising fasciitis of the perineum. Don’t Google unless you have a strong constitution. You’re welcome. Happy weekend 😘

Bazball is going to be completely unsustainable in test cricket over the long term. There are times when what you need is a full day of attritional, dull, defensive knocks. I’m livid that this game was over in 2 days.

It’s what keeps me coming back 😉

You’re a bunch of knobheads 😄

Ubercunt.

I love how I can pop in every few months and absolutely nothing changes 😄

I’ve made 3 posts and have apparently just earned an apprentice badge! Hope I can make it as a regular one day. 😄

I think I’ve become desensitised given how many times I’ve used it over the past couple of years. Thanks for making me feel at home though 😁

Unlike men, if a woman says she’s going to do something you don’t have to remind her every six months! I’ll let you know 😘

It’s more his record number of ducks that bothers me but okay… 😆

Much as it pains me to say it I think Crawley probably needs to be dropped. Just please don’t bring Burns and his hair back in his place..

@Renton - I’m late in reading about your awful situation but a few things stand out for me. Firstly, I’m really proud of you and I know the others on here feel the same. Even in the midst of such a crisis you had the insight to know you had to ask for help and the courage to reach out for it by calling 999. There are many others that wouldn’t do that and haven’t. Secondly, amidst that crisis you were still considering how your family and friends would react to your situation and you were fearful of their reaction. The fact that they were even a consideration shows that you care so much about being the man they want you to be, and that you want to be yourself. This will be what gets you through this. After everything you’ve been through in the last few years it breaks my heart that you found yourself in such a dark place but my god, I know you’ve got what it takes to get through it. Much love and admiration to you x
