Always though they were just for the decent players, I’m shite

Went to the doctors on Thursday, first time I took the step for professional advice. Laid everything on the table and I’ve been prescribed Mirtazapine, and got a line for work. It’s been built up since last year really, work a year ago until Christmas was utterly demoralising. I can’t say much but thinking back, I'm amazed I got through it. Since Christmas though personally, it’s went downhill. I’ve alluded to it above, but there’s other stuff as well. I’ve told my closest friends, and they’ve rallied, and now I’ve had professional help, I know at least I can focus on the future. The meds has gave me a couple of cracking nights sleep, even if I wake up with a hangover feeling. Doc did say that was a possible side effect. It’s cliche, but I do feel like a weight has been lifted. Now all I need to do is tell my family, which I’ll do on Monday. I’m worried, not for what they’ll say, but just me saying it in the first place.

Firstly thanks to everyone who replied. Sorry for not responding sooner. Things I like most - snooker, pool, table tennis, running, poker. Varied I know RE to get involved. I’ll see what I can find. Thanks for the suggestions. Given the current situation, maybe I can improve my Ukrainian. Thanks for the tip. I have Marfan syndrome, so going to the gym will have zero affect on me physically. Although the mental affect will be good, certainly. Thanks again. Only been to Dundee a couple of times but enjoyed it. I’ll give you a message when I’m next in and have time for a beer.

Anyone got any ideas of how to meet new people? It’s a strange thing to ask but really, how do you make new contacts without the cascade of the internet? I turned 30 a few weeks ago. I tried to arrange pool with my closest mates but it never happened. I spent my 30th sitting at the bar, drinking and snorting my pan in. I literally had nothing else to do/no one wanted to be with me. Loneliness is fucking brutal.

I had no idea Simone Segouin had died, or why I even included her in my team. I’m glad someone’s paying attention

Surprised it took 5 pages

I’ve noticed that’s far too long so TL;DR version: Watching normally telly (stone deed by about 2066). I was watching an old episode of The Sweeney there, and it got me googling a couple of the cast to see what else they were in (and if there still alive or not, totally unrelated to next years Dead Pool list, honest) and one search led me to a Facebook group about remembering 70’s actors, which got me thinking. Now I was only born in the early 90’s but growing up in a house obsessed with 70’s British telly shows I remember my dad telling me how important watching normal TV was with the family. I can’t remember the last time I watching something on the TV that wasn’t on demand/streamed on a dater date. So, based on nothing at all, I will predict “normal telly” will be a thing of the past by the time I’m in my 70’s. What “normal thing” will be no longer when you’re looking back on it all?

Should have been 3-0 down at half time but I’ll take it. Never seen a worse first touch than the Clyde players produced today.

As someone who works with primary school children, when I saw the caterpillar, my head was in my hands. I actually thought the treasure chest idea was quite good, but it was terribly designed and less said about the app the better.

Just listened to that Catfish story. Fucking hell

Me and three mates got a weekend in Berlin less than a week before they went full lockdown. We needed negative tests but from private companies and not NHS. We chanced it and upon arrival, German border force just glared at it like “WTF is this?” and just threw it back and waved us through. About 5 hours later I was sat at a bar drinking a pint and smoking a snout whilst back home that would have got you various degrees of charges. It was very surreal. infact I’m sure you were a great help for that trip, so thanks for that!

When was the last time we won a fucking game of football

Basically laughing through the part of being chucked out the cup. I’m genuinely gobsmacked at that. What a boot in the balls for the fans* *Haha

Good that last weeks result has been rectified, but if we are looking at Peterhead’s results every week more so than our own, we’ll go down anyway.
