Thread | Mental health
at 18:01 17 Jul 2023
Here for advice/thoughts on my mental health. I'm a bit of a coward talking about this type of thing so haven't spoke to my wife, family or friends about this as of yet. Hence why I'm on here just to get things off my chest a little.
Mental health is not something I've ever struggled with before but this past week it's like I've been hit by a train. It really has taken me by complete surprise
I've been feeling like I'm suffocating, feel completely alone and taking no joy in anything I do. The few times I have been completely alone has been horrible. I'm usually someone that enjoys alone time every so often. The feelings have dampened down a bit compared to earlier last week but are still in the background.
I recently slipped a disc and have been on a cocktail of painkillers. I finished taking them a few days before this all hit me. Could that have something to do with it?
I've not been enjoying my job for sometime could this be affecting me more than I realise?
Don't really want to see a Doctor as the last thing I want is to be put on medication.
For context I have a really happy home life. Couldn't ask for a better wife or kids.
Apologies if this sounds like a complete ramble just needed to get it off my chest and maybe hear some advice from others. |

if anyone ends up with a ticket they want to sell please let me know.
My circumstances have now changed where I can attend the game. After being at Posh and Barnsley the thought of missing this game is a sickener. |

Thread | Smells you shouldn't like but do.

Had a conversation with a workmate this morning about horrible smells you shouldn't like but do. I happen to like the smell of rotten eggs.
What would your smell you like but shouldn't be?
Your own farts are not allowed as everyone enjoys their own farts. |

Travel requirements for Italy include having a LFT, taken within 24 hours before entry.
Does anyone know if a NHS test is sufficient or will I need to buy one? I can't find anywhere where it confirms what is required. Thanks in advance. |

Looking at going Mauritius early next year for 2 weeks.
So for anyone who has been is there plenty to see and do in 2 weeks? Are the beaches as good as they look in photos? Any advice welcome. |

I'm hearing a Town fan posted a video online after the game yesterday spewing racist abuse. Anyone heard about this? Hope they are banned for life if it's true. |

Liz Truss has announced Australian wine will be cheaper, under the new trade deal to be announced between the U.K and Australia. Go Tories and go Liz, the country is saved. |

Thread | Qatar World Cup
at 14:32 23 Feb 2021
I've just been reading an article in The Guardian about migrant workers building the stadiums for the Qatar World Cup.
6,500 have now been killed working on it. That's an average of 12 a week since Qatar were announced as hosts.
Hang your heads in shame Qatari government and FIFA. You have a lot of blood on your hands. |

Thread | Some very good news coming out of Israel.
at 17:36 31 Jan 2021
Just been reading an article in The Guardian. Data coming out of Israel showing that only 0.04% of people caught Covid a week after having the second dose of vaccine. Greater still only 0.002% needed hospital treatment. The future is starting to look a little brighter with each passing day. |

Thread | Anti-vaxxer cousin.
at 21:31 12 Jan 2021
So an idiotic cousin of mine, who is constantly sharing anti-vaccine nonsense on social media, has finally driven me over the edge.
The latest post she has shared claims the vaccine gives you a high risk of catching HIV. I mean WTF, what is wrong with these people and how can I be related to such feckwits?
The argument got quite personal but feck it she's had it coming. |

Thread | Albania
at 17:47 12 Nov 2020
Not being able to get away this year has really given me the travel blues. Now I know I might be hoping for a bit much, if things get back to normal next year with this vaccine, I really want to get away. Albania has been on my radar for some time and now I'm thinking I might go next summer. Just wondering if anyone on here has ever been? If so any recommendations for places to visit, what accomodation is like and road conditions etc would be very helpful. |

Thread | Recommended walks
at 12:46 15 Sep 2020
The thread about local beaches got me thinking about walks.
I do love a good walk so if anyone has any favourite ones please share. Anything from 4-8 hours if possible, covering Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex, preferably in a loop so I can finish back at my car.

Thread | I've hurt my shoulder.
at 11:35 24 Aug 2020
My shoulder has been giving me some pain the last two days, which at times has been severly painful, so much so I didn't sleep a wink last night. I've never had a frozen shoulder, so wouldn't know what this feels like, but could it be this or have I maybe just pulled something? It's a dull pain and gets worse in waves. I've been taking Ibuprofen and putting icepacks on it, which help a little. Thought I'd seek a little advice on here as I don't want to waste the time of my Doctor if I have just pulled something, although I will have to go see him if it carries on. |

Thread | Ryanair refund.
at 10:47 24 Jul 2020
I was due to go on holiday next month, but I have decided against it, as I still don't see it being safe enough. My flights are with Ryanair, just wondering if I can refund/credit my flights? I'm assuming as the flight is going ahead I won't be able to claim anything back. Has anyone had any dealings with this same issue? |

Could do with some advice please. Under orders of the wife, I have painted our bedroom in a dark grey. I have a slight difference in colour between what I have rolled in, and what I have cut in with a brush. Why is this happening, and what can I do to get rid of it? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. |

Thread | Once Upon a Time in Iraq.
at 07:21 15 Jul 2020
Anyone watch the first episode of the new documenatry on BBC2 the other night? Highly recommend it if not.
The stand out part for me, was the interview with the American "Jedi Marine." An absolute narcissist who started the interview by pretending to stretch, so he could flex his biceps to the camera. He went on to say how they killed whole families in their cars, who went across checkpoints that they couldn't read the signs to, which marked a line where they should stop. He had no problem killing them as that was his job. The bloke is a complete piece of sh1t. |
