Thread | Forest Green relegated to the National League
at 23:56 16 Apr 2024
To think it's hardly any time at all since we played them at the top of that bl00dy hill in the blazing sun. Vegeburgers, party buses and diamond giveaways!
How times have changed for both clubs; but always remember that there, for the grace of God (or Gamechanger) go we. |

Thread | Ed Sheeran - James Blunt comment in the Grauniad
at 16:01 9 Dec 2023
So many responses, so little time. Although Major Blunt's a pretty decent sort of chap, I think...
"Of course, those disposed to dislike Blunt will not be mollified by any of this, nor by the fan-worship of Ed Sheeran (interviewed here) who as a young boy was radicalised by seeing Blunt support Elton John at a stadium gig in Ipswich." |

Thread | New job stress: serious and frankly slightly embarrassing post.
at 16:11 30 Aug 2022
Okay, this is here because none of my colleagues will see it so I can talk freely.
I was made redundant in January 2021 after 15 years with the National Trust. Three months ago I landed a slightly better job in my local Museum, run by the District Council but mostly autonomous, as Operations Manager. All good: nothing I can't handle and all stuff I'm good at. Something I didn't expect to get at 55.
Thing is, it's making me ill. Last week I turned around and went home for two days. Couldn't cope or face being there.
The place is a sh!tshow: poorly managed and with a small team who're suffering badly from Stockholm Syndrome. They've stopped caring that it's crap and have disconnected. I can see a hundred ways to get it run better but have neither the authority nor the support to do it, despite fine words further up the food chain. Systems are clunky, little is done well and nobody wants to change. Plus I think one of my direct reports is passive-agressively resisting me although I can't prove it.
I finally cracked and told the wife at the weekend, who had seen it coming but of course it's not as though I can just quit, not under the current economic climate anyway. She's being lovely about it but there isn't really a practical way out just yet so I have to soldier on for now although I've started looking at other jobs.
For the first time ever, I'm a bloody mess and it's not a pleasant feeling. Anyone else been in a similar situation got any tips on ways to get past this? |

...but do they renew automatically, or at least send me an expiry/renewal reminder?
Got one last year for the first time and they're showing on the website but with no option to buy atm. |

Thread | Paul Mariner book
at 13:42 28 Dec 2021
Started reading Boxing Day (Thanks, Secret Santa) and finished yesterday.
A fascinating read and some brilliant anecdotes in there as well as eye-opening on-the-pitch stories from games I was actually in the crowd for.
But the last few pages were a difficult read, knowing what was coming.
Paul's home debut was also my first time at PR and so I've always felt a particular affinity for him. Suffice to say that I felt a bit rattled when I closed it for the last time. |

Thread | In the cold light of day, I was wrong...
at 13:54 6 Dec 2021
...about PC.
Keep the faith, I thought. Hang on in there.
But, over the past week, in the light of recent results and performances, I was starting to think the unthinkable and accept that he had to go. Then the board moved and fired him.
He'll go on to do well somewhere, is a decent man and it simply didn't happen for him here: sometimes it doesn't and that's true in all jobs.
So, to all the people I downvoted in the last couple of weeks, muttering about you being bellends, I'm sorry.
Unless you were actually behaving like bellends, of course. [Post edited 6 Dec 2021 13:55]

Thread | Oxford at PR was my first home game in nearly a decade...
at 10:22 16 Nov 2021
...and it was football in a library, to coin a phrase.
I sat in Churchman's (SAR) as I always have. When I went regularly in the 70s-80s it was a hotbed of singing and cheering but at the weekend it was bloody awful and I wished I was in the North Stand - the silence was embarrassing, especially for a 21K+ crowd.
What's happened to everyone? |

Thread | Vax checks on the gate: foreign vax proof?
at 18:35 10 Nov 2021
For our family reunion at the Oxford game my sister and brother-in-law have vaccination proof but were done in Canada, where they were then living. Any problems with that on the gate, do we think?
I'll try calling the club anyway but everyone on here knows everything :-) |
