  1. I've had a couple of people tell me I'll enjoy this if I watch 5 seasons of Rebels first. No ta, how about making something watchable in its own right.
  2. DIY enema? Fuck that right off, it's bad enough getting a trained medical professional to do it.
  3. Two paragraphs in and fuck me, what a lot of waffle without actually saying anything. Just answer the fucking question and then beat one off on LinkedIn.
  4. Testament to the slide manufacturer.
  5. We get it mate, you're on holiday. * Smiley face *
  6. My top three is still unchanged: Sopranos, The Wire and The Shield. Mad Men is in that next tier down for me.
  7. It might not have the same cast but it's Frasier, goddamn it, so I'll be watching it.
  8. Klopp is a terrific leader isn't he, he must make everyone feel like King of the World.
  9. I've spent the afternoon falling out with MS SharePoint for no reason whilst everyone else is on holiday. It's certainly felt like the end of the world.
  10. Fine, I'll take all that money out of my Ivermectin stocks.
  11. There's no good way to grieve, no timescale and no predicting it. Take some time for yourself, mate. The doctor will give you it. You're right in the bolded part - 9 months since, I just keep blaming have my bowel removed and nobody can argue with that!! I feel when Larry David's mother died. "But...my bowel. I'm so sad...."
  12. Ha, sound advice! We have decided to just have the one, we're happy and content as a family. Plus, having a dog is like another kid anyway with the costs and logistics! Yeah, the shouting - albeit rare - can be a trait of mine I don't like. I know where it comes from and I know where it lead to when I was a kid. I don't want to repeat a pattern with my daughter and I want her to get the best of me (although, honestly the "best" of me is probably gone but I might have 90% left!). Glad to hear that the meds worked for you mate, I'd like to feel fewer ups and downs, it feels like most of the time there is no middle ground, it's never just "alright" but brilliant or terrible. I'm becoming less resilient and I want that to change.
  13. And cheers fellas, this is always a good place to discuss this shit!
  14. When my daughter was born, I created a playlist of my favourite chilled tracks to listen to at night, at bedtime, when she wouldn't stop crying with colic, etc. I can't listen to them without getting teary anymore and some of them - specifically, The Book of Love by Peter Gabriel - puts me in floods of tears. I never used to cry.
  15. After a few years of being a "bit up and down", I recently got a diagnosis of depression and moderate-high anxiety. I feel like a bit of a fraud and I can't really articulate it - yet - but sometimes I just don't feel like me, I feel like shutting the world off. I think it might be stress related and a combination of physical health and work taking it's toll whilst wrestling with the highs and lows of early parenthood. For now, I've declined medication but we'll see how that goes. I feel both vulnerable and relieved.
  16. This morning's blueberry haul, representing about 1/3 of what we've had from three plants already this month, with the same still on them.
