Reply | Dullest Encounter With A Footballer
at 13:37 24 Jul 2023
When I was a wee nipper, I bumped into my favourite player, Micky Stockwell outside the ticket office. After a push from my mum, I asked him for an autograph. He said, of course, if you give help me get this child seat into my car. I said yes. After we wrestled it into place, he duly scribbled on my freshly purchased tickets. He had a Volvo, in case anyone's interested.
On the way back, Richard Wright emerged from the training pitch. He had just broken into the first team and was looking suitably happy with life. Emboldened by my interaction with Micky, I asked him if he was going to be playing on Saturday. I hope so, he said, as he signed my ticket. I wished him luck. He did play on the Saturday too. |

Reply | Results are never important pre season
at 20:51 22 Jul 2023
martijn reuser once said that losing to psv pre-season in 2001-2 was a big blow to morale. they'd been training well, then got taken apart by a much better team and he felt their confidence took a long time to recover. the rest is history...
to be fair, he also felt that all the new signings didn't really help, and he was probably looking back in hindsight, but you never know... |

I've done all four at Forest. The most memorable was probably being the only person in the Trent End to give David Johnson a standing ovation after he got subbed off early in his first season there. Everyone else was chanting 'what a waste of money'. While I beat a hasty retreat to the bar, I told anyone who'd listen that they'd thank us for him sooner rather than later - one of the few times one of my predictions came right. Also saw Stuart Pearce's return there with Man City, and a dismal Town vs Forest reserves game, made only slightly more palatable by the bottle of white lightning we smuggled in. |

as well as ticket stubs, i think there was also priority for people who had queued up / qualified as priority for the bolton game.
after queuing up for the bolton game (with enough stubs) i think i remember getting a voucher together with my bolton ticket that qualified me for 1 final ticket. not sure though... |

Thread | Tips for a child friendly pub/restaurant around Manningtree to Harwich please
at 14:06 6 Aug 2022
Hello!
Sorry for such a random post. We will be taking the ferry back to Holland on Monday night and are looking for somewhere to eat with two young children around 5-6pm. We'll be driving down from Suffolk to Harwich, and ideally would like somewhere in or near Harwich to eat with them. We don't know the area of anyone round there, so I hope the TWTD massive might have a tip or two.
So if you know anywhere, please let us know!
Thanks very much.

i only really come on this site for your reports, so i hope you won't mind me chiming in.
the only thing i can say that might be useful in the circumstances is that someone wise once told me is that if you're having troubles/doubts about your relationship, then often you can be attracted to somebody else who offers what you feel you're missing in your relationship (or who doesn't represent or offer any challenges you might be going through in your relationship). So that could be what drives your attraction to your colleague, rather than deep soul mate passion.But without knowing the ins and outs of your situation, it's impossible to say anything or to judge. Just don't be too hard on yourself.
Good luck. |
