    Mad Men

    My top three is still unchanged: Sopranos, The Wire and The Shield. Mad Men is in that next tier down for me.

    Frasier

    Karl_b replied to Faustus's topic in GF - General Forum

    It might not have the same cast but it's Frasier, goddamn it, so I'll be watching it.

    Why the fuck is madstock?

    Klopp is a terrific leader isn't he, he must make everyone feel like King of the World.

    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.

    Fine, I'll take all that money out of my Ivermectin stocks.

    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...."

    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.

    And cheers fellas, this is always a good place to discuss this shit!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Romano the tap-in merchant strikes again. I'm sick of this cunt.

    An unknown, exciting signing; could be awful, mind. I hope that this is bringing in an experienced, cheaper player because we've got a higher profile CM and CB lined up. Absolutely nothing that's happened this summer can convince me don't have this under control.

    @Megadrive Man strikes again. 8 hours from starting the thread to signing a player.

    I generally only go there for work but did once go to the Ikon (?) Gallery to see a Hokusai exhibition and I go the NEC once a year for a board games expo. Yep. Dishoom on Chamberlain Square is decent, I went on a work lunch recently. Errr...

    Some weird definitions of "funny" here. Are you all in WhatsApp groups with my Dad?

    I like American chip spice on my chippy chips; it's a Hull thing.

    I liked the bit where Gerrard didn't realise how hot Saudi Arabia is.

    It's always a brave soul that follows up a Lifey Sunday roast. I threw together a chicken noodle soup from some leftovers earlier, with plenty left for tomorrow. Leftover chicken thighs, noodles, sweetcorn, spinach, some gyoza, a [badly peeled] egg and a broth made from homemade stock, garlic, onions, star anise, soya, mirin and miso. Sensational.

    I feel like I'm in constant dispute with companies and that one thing after another is just, well, shit. DELL - sold me a faulty laptop 2 years ago and it keeps breaking. Builders - built a leaky roof, ignoring me and taking no responsibility so I'm taking them to court. I get stoma supplies from a private company who supply the NHS and they're fucking awful. Complained three months ago, nothing has improved and they didn't follow up until I left a review on the NHS website about them. I only left that review because after contacting four separate NHS bodies (GP, local trust patient line, GP and some other regional organisation) nobody could give me a straight answer. Just fuck the fuck off with everything being shit.

    We certainly do.... Hard luck for yesterday mind, sounds like it was a hard-fought match and pretty dramatic!

    I'm expecting to see this as an exclusive on Romano's twitter feed later.
