I know we're both sh*te at talking about serious stuff in person, but I wished we had chatted about this on Sunday whilst knee deep in the bloody Tay (I've got wet feet, I've got wet feet- there's a song in there somewhere....) I read this earlier and some thoughts flying around, so please forgive me if I act a little strange if it jumps around a little. First things first- accept that you will feel sh*te sometimes. It's learning how to deal with it that's the issue. I sometimes feel utterly crap still too and instead of drinking like I used to, I now munch chocolate and sweet things, or try really hard to distract myself. Usually both. My moods go up and down depending on small little things that happen and I can accept that I will feel low sometimes- it's a great start to coping with mental problems. You know most if not all the bollox I've dealt with before- if a wee pr*ck like me can cope then an awesome c*nt like you definitely can. Secondly- as hard as it might be sometimes, really try and go into work each day. I'm aware that it is dull and boring but right now, it's your main source of income and if you lose that, you're even more f*cked. You'll end up back at your parents at square one again with no chance of a job being in Saline etc. So really try and push through it in the mornings and keep reminding yourself it's a long term plan and this is sh*tty stage one. Mind, if you need a hand to move your stuff I can come and help. Thirdly- as harsh as it sounds just forget the whole girlfriend thing at the moment. Anyone worth bothering your a*se over (i.e. not mentalist types!) will be able to detect some of the stuff at the moment. I don't know how, but they do. Fix yourself first and that sh*t will come. For an ugly hoor, you're a good looking c*nt. Don't ever quote me on that! Fourthly (??)- keep up that running you were doing. Aye, inclines are a b*tch. F*cking push through it. Losing weight and feeling better doesn't come without it's own pain in my view, although I know it's tough with your ankle. Do you still have a bike? If not, maybe I can ask Judy to lend you hers that's in our shed at the moment as I don't use it. If running isn't your thing, maybe cycling or swimming is. You definitely need to get baw deep in some good cardio though, so many benefits from it. Kind of need to f*ck off to work now but there's loads more that I could write. I've a load of books you could try borrow. Whatever sounds cheesy in feeling better though- it normally works to some degree. We're all different and we all have ways of coping with depression to whatever degree we have it- it's about trying as many techniques as possible until you know how to deal with it- once you've got that it's amazing how much luck and good things will start to happen. I've also got a bunch of stuff from before I came back to Aberdeen, from some course I did at Lauder about mental health and how to deal with it etc. I've kept them as I have to try remind myself of the good stuff- mental health is something that needs constantly worked out too and it's knowing what work out to use. We're all worried about you. I know for a fact you can talk to Judy whenever you want as she desperately wants to help if she can, even with burd advice! What she knows about pulling burds though, I'm not sure.... But seriously I know all of us are worried (you know who I mean) and if we can help I know we will. That's why we've done hill walking etc recently, it's great to get out and do something different. Won't be able to for the next 4 weeks but will be back to it after that! Text me, call or whatever if you feel you're feeling like that again. Or I'll do to you what you did to that door

"I will always love EU".

You've got a plan DA, work towards moving flat, that's a great positive mate. Tell your GP you want to do some exercise to help your physical health & state of mind but because of your financial state you can't afford it & can they help out, have they anything going to get you out & about? See if there is any college courses you could do that you would be interested in, you'll meet people. Are there any self-help groups in your area, meeting up with folk in a similar situation could help you & them? Finally you've always got us, ffs. Grimbo

Another quirk at Celtic Park is that the turnstyles are so narrow, you have to tie your inflatable sex doll's arms together to get it through.

I've worked in some horrendously tedious and boring jobs before and the way I managed to cope was just doing the absolute best I could in that role and being really professional. At the end of the day at least you can go home and say you've done your best and made a difference and your colleagues will likely be on your side too as their life will be easier. Fill up spare time with exercise, just try walking if you're not fit. Once you get fitter try five a side or a team sport. I dont know what it was but one day I just said f**k it and started exercising. From having not run for years or done any exercise I just gradually built it up doing various things. The easiest and quickest way for me was getting an exercise bike. It's very easy to join a gym then come up with excuses and not go. If you have a bike in your house you can do half an hour easily while listening to music or reading a book. It's not really a chore. Six months of doing that plus eating decent food and I can guarantee you would feel more positive. pretty sure as others have said there's money available to help people get regular exercise, the pars could do with a set piece coach... Sorry if this comes across as happy flappy bollocks but I've been really down before and still am at times. Exercise definitely helped, no question.

We've got ourselves a combination of some truly legendary centre backs here.

Sensible post from a supporter who isnt waiting for failure , Not enough of these posts and far too much of others throughout season....

9 assists in 8 games for Easton, he is going to be missed massively. When you sign players like him you have to deal with the fact at times he is going to be greedy and shoot instead of passing, but when you think of some of the garbage players we have had endure in recent years it was great to see a player that wanted the ball all the time and could beat players and score the goal he scored on the first league game of the season.

Regardless of what happens at Elgin on Saturday our next home game v Forfar is massive.Time surely for all of those keyboard warriors purporting to support Clyde to put their machines to sleep and instead turn up at Broadwood and give the team the support they deserve.

Guess where we all were when you went to Howdens?

This might be the best call ever for the funniest thing.

DA, my biggest piece of advice would be keeping in touch with Stellaboz, he seems like an absolute top friend and someone who is 100% on your side. Even if you don't live nearby keep in touch regularly (as going by what he's said on here, he's more than happy to help you out however he can). Money isn't everything. Due to a change in circumstances with me, I'm cutting my cloth accordingly. I've started going for a walk in the evening after work when I can, I've spent more time with friends I lost touch with, or at least didn't see much, and read quite a bit too. If you're a reader, join your library, read something that isn't your typical genre, it might be a load of bollocks or it might be the beginning of something you love for years to come. Eating well (as has been said) is a must. I've just done my weekly budget for food, and lunch included for work, I reckon I can spend £40 and eat very healthily, rather than munching on chips and processed chicken for the same cost. Going by what you've posted on here before you obviously have issues controlling your money. Is there not a friend you can ask to have some of your cash each month? I sometimes get my Mum to keep £100 each month for me for when I'm desperately in need of it. I have also started to keep a daily diary of what I spend and on what, and I get a sense of satisfaction when I know I've spent less than the previous day. Edit: didn't mean to send that then. Anyway, know you have people around you, and don't bottle things up or leather f**k out of your bathroom door, even if it does make you feel better. Talk things through. And Stellaboz is right about work, it might just be my experience, but even if I feel shite about myself, I always feel slightly better if I've gone to work when I've felt this way, otherwise I just sit at home feeling guilty that I'm not there. Good luck mate and if you ever need anyone to talk to please feel free to PM me.

Clyde won't be as strong without Easton but as I've already stated, we got to the play offs last season playing dreadful football with a much weaker squad. I think we'll still challenge for the league title.

Looks like we got it. Great stuff.

Now if only they would start reducing the numbers in the HoL. They number far more than the MPs before these changes.

I recommend the Cicero novels.

Mel and Sue help make the programme work. Just the right amount of innuendo. Just the right amount of friendly chat. Just the right amount of sympathy when it goes wrong. Justin Lee Collins and Alan Carr simply won't work. The show works now because it's part nostalgia and part gentle whimsy. The rumoured new presenters can't do gentle charm. Carr doesn't do subtle and Collins is a creepy inbred weirdo with a history of intimidating former partners. Bake Off was a gamble. Moving it to prime time BBC 1 was also a massive risk. The BBC invested time and money in the show and were willing to pay £15million a year for continued rights. That it was short by £10million is shocking. It's shameful profiteering from the production company. The show format may be down to the producers but a big part of it's success is down to the support that the BBC has given it since deciding to take up the rights to that first series. I give it 2 years on C4 and it'll be gone.

You might find you concede more corners from now on.

The issue isn't handbrake off or on....... it's cretins that don't seem to realise that when they stop at a red light that at some point in the foreseeable future the lights will change and they will be expected to move again. Red lights are not a signal to do your make-up, play with the radio, search around the car for the sweet you dropped earlier, check your tie is straight or any other of the inordinate number of things that folk do at lights. I know the sequence of about 90% of the sets of lights I go through, as I use them that often, and having the hand brake off or on is irrelevant in comparison to paying attention when it comes to moving away quickly.

Bet they wont. Charity bet ???.

Can't quite believe I got 9/10 as I only knew 4 for certain. Messed up on East Timor's flag.

Some people will find another excuse not to go and support the team anyway

Shite news. Although 8 out of 10 Cats does Bake Off might be enjoyable.

I know I was until I started jogging!

I guess the reluctance of many to attend this game highlights just how tough it is to swell numbers even on the big occasions. We have taken some great away midweek supports over the years ( most notably Hibs away- not the easiest away journey for many) but these days seem a long way off now. For me the prospect of beating either side of the Old Firm when their fans turn up with this divine expectation to beat teams like us with total disregard for any quality that we have at our disposal, makes the upside of victory all the more exciting and appealing. For us to struggle to sell 1000 tickets after the start we have made this season is disappointing to say the least. Give me a cup night under the lights at a tremendous stadium over a run of the mill away trip to a fellow Championship side and it is a no contest - I just dont get this Ibrox intimidation thing at all. Our fans give as good as they get despite the obvious imbalance in numbers. If we play to as we have been doing then we should have a very decent chance of making this close.

Sounds to me that you're reacting as most people would to living in a damp cold flat with a big debt problem and a boring job. I'd prioritise rather than despairing at sorting everything out at once. Start with the flat, either fix it or move. Then renegotiate the debt or go the bankruptcy route. The job and friends situation might improve when you get rid of the stuff that is making you understandably a miserable fucker.

Four Brothers Mark Walberg and his foster brothers avenge the murder of the woman who raised them, a bit ropey at times but enjoyable enough. 6/10

Here's the City Fanzine for Edinburgh City v Montrose on Saturday. Cover (That's City player John Dunn on the front but I don't know who the Spartans player is.)

I also hate Ibrox but will be making the journey from Dubai to attend. The lads deserve our support in as big a number as possible!

Without the use of a spirt level, you cannot be sure the road is flat. When I'm first at the lights, I apply the brake and look at the other lights. I stay alert and when it's obviously the turn of the lights I'm at, I quickly release the handbrake before my light has turned green and pull away. I'm able to do this because I have the cognitive function of a sane human being

If they really wanted the house to look like Hitler they'd get rid of the Pole in the garden.

North Korean barbers, I asked for a Tony Curtis & ended up with a Kim Jong un. I said that's not how Tony Curtis has his hair, he said he would if he came in here. G-Bo(re)

I spotted rejected Labour candidate (and desperate limelight seeking Brexiter) Tom Harris claiming that it's ridiculous people are expecting a Brexit plan or blueprint, because it's all up for negotiation and the vote was purely on EU membership, not what form it should take. This is a man who demanded of the "Yes" campaign a plan for leaving the UK and a breakdown of what Scotland outside the UK would look like down to the cost of a stamp ten years from now.

I'm trying to learn Spanish but my online teacher is very distracting and it's affecting my concentration.

Not Sportsound but unfortunately had to listen to Clyde on the way home last night as the taxi driver had it on. Asked him at 617pm to turn it off when the so called pundit Derek Johnstone said that he didn't even know any of the other games on in the Scotland today. The other commentator stated we will talk about them later.... I think. Decided at that point to never listen to it again. Driver took exception but understood my reasons.
