Lot’s of baldy shouts on here, I think I speak for other folically challenged posters here, why the baldy? Is it the only thing you can call the little prick? When is attacking a person for being bald going to be a hate crime? #metoupe

Delighted for you. I was diagnosed in November with a tumour in my tongue. Had surgery to take the bastard out within 18 days. Started radiotherapy and chemotherapy in March. The fucking pain in my mouth has been horrific. On morphine for last 6 months but trying to wean off now as the pain decreases but that is causing me to be so fucked tired. More than half my tongue is from a skin graft of my thigh - 29 stitches and is still a fair bit swollen resulting in it chafing against my teeth while asleep. Its improving all the time but it is fucking slow. Meeting my surgeon on 31st May. I'm hoping he gives me good news and I can have a double celebration on the 1st June. By the way, the season Liverpool have had has made a sick, tired and sore man very happy this past 6 months and I can't believe fans of any other club can laugh at us at the moment. We are the lucky ones. That being said, I'd be gutted if we don't win in Madrid.

Never use Xabi Alonso as a negative agian. Thanks.

I don't know yet but I'm made up: just discharged from hospital after 3 months of chemo and feeling a bit sickly; but relieved another cycle of treatment wasn't booked in, as it could have run up to the game. Three weeks now to get fighting fit to get to a pub and be able to enjoy it. Allez Allez Allez!

As requested:

Coming along nicely. Won’t look this good after we’ve glued it together, I’m sure, but we’re having fun. my girl asked how I know how to draw a liver bird. because I’ve been drawing it on everything I can for the last 30 years, sweetie!

Got it finished. Had an absolute blast making this with her.

Not sure what’s going wrong with your mixture mate. Todays Yorkshire’s...

Whenever I see a 'documentary' on mental health or a project that's started by Prince William or the likes, I'm never surprised that it turns out to be a load of pointless fodder. There's one that's just come out on BBC called Anxiety and Me where the host goes to see a prof' at some University in London who is a psychotherapist. The whole thing is just backwards and relates her panic to some trauma in the past and then makes out that CBT is the way forward and that 'anxiety can be cured'. What? I've been working in this field for a number of years now. I've seen the level of understanding the majority of GPs have around mental health and I've seen just how effective IAPT or higher intensity therapies are. For some, it works wonders, it helps identify areas of improvement, helps challenge their fears/weaknesses and even just give them space and time to get through a difficult patch. But you're always on the clock (6-8 sessions, 30m-2hr sessions and the therapist is always looking for your scores to drop to hit that recovery target) and your interaction will contribute to whether that service even exists the following year. Often the training is poor and therapists roles are diluted so they can bypass the training/money that's involved and hire some psychology graduate who is still understanding what CBT is. The turnover of those working in this field is high, you'll be lucky to have the same staff for 6-12 months and that's due to burn out, using the role as a stepping stone or the therapist developing their own mental health concerns. I'm tiresome of the message of 'we need to talk' because it promotes the idea of sitting with a counsellor and talking about it all. It's the typical 'therapy' viewpoint which isn't suitable for all. If I'm struggling at work because my boss is a bellend, my workmates are great but someone is going above and beyond to get me sacked and I'm not sure I'm happy at home - how is confessing all that going to help? It'll connect the dots but most are already there in knocking what needs to happen but they're just so bogged down that it's impossible to even find the energy to start. Mental health needs to move from this reactive, low funded, weakness-focused fucking mess and become a proactive, supportive and serious addition to our lives, our careers, our education and society. We'll be in the same situation in 50 years if we think that throwing money into this current system is going to work. It's breaking because it's trying to hold the water and not turn off the tap.

Hahahahaha this is boss. Gives loads to some women and as soon as a few lads turn up he fucking legs it. Think he might have been digged a bit as well

Just seen some BBC News shite on Twitter of Prince fucking William and some footy players including Peter Crouch talking about how it's 'okay to cry'. Grinds my gears this shit. Being told by a man who lives in a fucking Castle that the key to good mental health is talking about it. No it's not mate, it's being able to find early interventions but finding out instead that because your local NHS has given all of its money to you and your ilk, the best you can get is an online CBT course or a 'how to deal with anxiety' course which runs twice a year and involves - ironically - sitting in a room with 50 other people, most of whom are feeling anxious about sitting in a room with 50 other people. Footballers too, fucking hell, when was the last time one of them had to wait six fucking months to see a councillor who was probably still at fucking college? Mental health - like everything in this country - is becoming 'trendified'. It'll be condensed into shite BBC3 shows featuring Stacey Dooley talking about her granddads's death, and workplace beanbag sessions, when in actual fact what's really needed is a mental health system that's fit for purpose, mental health charities that actually do something practical beyond merely hoovering up donations, and perhaps perchance even a redressed society/work balance that doesn't pummel people every second of every fucking day until there's nothing left. Fucking haircuts for the homeless cocksuckers.

Folded him like an accordian. Angie81 would be proud.

Here's an interesting little thread. Not sure where he's getting this info from, but I don't see how they can walk away from all of this if it's proven. Click on link to go to the thread.

Pretty much every single Studio Ghibli film. They are almost universally great. Favourites in our house were/are (we all still love them now): Spirited Away Howl’s Moving Castle Princess Mononoke My Neighbour Totoro Kiki’s Delivery Service In fact all of them. They are all boss. Maybe save Grave of the Fireflies until your kids are older though. It’s pretty fucking harrowing.

Started making ours today.

Reading this thread, I think we're the new bitters.

I cashed out on Koepka just before his meltdown. I saw the wind and thought better safe than sorry.

Dont think anyone has posted this yet, I read a series of articles a couple of months ago on Der Spiegel Online about Man City and their dealings. Since it is being discussed thought some here may find it interesting. It is pretty damming if true, lets face it they have form for financial breaches, we now have the alleged bullshitting of UEFA in addition. Most of the info used was from Football Leaks.

Chat shit, get banged.

The problem is that GP's are expected to deal with every issue known to man, which is completely unreasonable. It's like asking a plumber how to lay bricks because he falls under the 'Tradesman' banner. Ideally, you'd have a few clinical psychologists in every surgery to deal with mental health problems and GP's to deal with physical problems. Which is never going to happen, so it is what it is and the pharmaceutical industry must love it.

That's just lovely. I may have mentioned before that Emmylou makes everything better.

One here for you @AngryofTuebrook

Yep My anxiety problems didn't come about because I was too busy 'manning up', they came about because of long term stress endured in a working environment none of these people will ever know, compounded by the fact the only help I could get were pills thrown at me by a GP who didn't understand or probably even care. It's such patronising bollocks.

He's excellent on the inside, don't get me wrong. His footwork, his timing, his bodywork, his uppercut are all Lomaesque, but it just makes me so nervous because he can easily win a 12-0 UD if he wants to box, instead of giving the other guy his best opportunity. The fight with Prograis in the final will be one for the ages . Genuine 50/50 fight to see who the man is. I cannot praise the WBSS enough. It is the single best thing to happen to boxing since Morales and Barrera signed to fight each other. It's what this sport should be at all times. The idea, for example that we could have spanked Barca, then refused to play in the final unless our demands were met would be outrageous to any sports fan but that's heavyweight boxing.

Pm'd

Rob Harris . He's one of the few journalists who are questioning what they're up to. You should check out his Twitter page it's very good

My wife is going on at me to get it done. I'm 47 so it makes sense but the thought of it terrifies me. Just reading about it on here genuinely makes me feel sick.

Eh? There are loads of great restaurants in town. It’s ridiculous how good town is for eating out these days.

It was one of those that had very hard questions! For example the only football question in the sports section was who scored the first ever goal in the first World Cup! We came 6th! ( out of 10) I was happy with my own performance as I got quite a few answers that no one else did!

The new Netflix series Tokoyo trial is worth a watch. It's not fast past or any action etc. More a courtroom drama about the Tokoyo war crime trials. More on the judges than the crimes. As I say worth a watch if the war interests you.

We should send Bunk over to tell them all how vile they are.

Fuck Pep, fuck Kompany and fuck that prick Sterling. Fuck the lot of them. Classless pricks.We have things they can only dream of having. Who says we can’t get 97 points again and beat these pricks. They’ll not be as hungry to win again next year and will be concentrating on the CL. It’s going to be oh so sweet when we beat these cunts. I want to win it next year when Pep is still in charge. I want to see them suffer. I want to see them implode. Also the small matter of us being in our second consecutive Champions League Final. That’s really got to grate ‘Pep’. He’ll be gone this time next year regardless. Nothing lasts forever

The Premier League has now become the SPL. And no one in the media is doing anything about it, other than wank themselves silly. You shouldn’t be winning the FA Cup by six goals. It’s bollocks.

Anyone else think this might have been a slightly different thread topic?

I find the English football authorities 'code of omerta' regarding City's financial transgressions absolutely infuriating. We've got our best team in a long while but it counts for little in league terms while these fuckers can basicly field two top quality 1st elevens on the back of illegal financial doping. These cunts have directly cost us two league titles in 5 years when in truth if it wasnt for the blood money they'd just as likely be in the championship as not. And boy am I fucking bitter about it.

We best fucking sign this cunt now. Took me fifteen minutes to convert that so it'd all embed on the site.

Just say her surname out loud. That's what they sound like.

Let us know what her 'trumps' sound like

Which one of you degenerates was responsible for this?

Thanks for all the messages, I really appreciate them - it's a great boost at a bad time. Not out of the woods yet, with the all clear, but the objective latterly was to get through it and be in a position to be able to enjoy the Final (maybe with a pint). So far so good. Happy trails and safe returns to all who are going further afield (or to the Brick). YNWA. Come on, you mighty Reds!

Just come up trumps in ballot. Get fucking in!

I reckon it's because you were pissed when you wrote them.

He's hanging in there. Feel like his health cant get worse before death but then it does He's on morphine now, bit confused but lucid. Coughing up black stuff ( he's never smoked) . He was buzzing about the barca result though. He told my sister night before we would win 4-0. Works a stress trying balance time off and time in. I work in retail management, interesting to see how selfless some are and others are the opposite
