Mixed. Found a lump on my ribs (got a scan this weekend), think I might have flu too. I’ve been rough as fuck for a couple of days but none of the stated corona symptoms. House is upside down from all the work, still waiting on planning permission to do the major work because it’s a conservation area and planning departments are shitholes full of jobsworths. On the flip side my old man has finished his cancer treatment and it’s looking positive so far, and I’ve been offered a director level role within a different part of the group I currently work for. Less stress, more interesting work and more money. Look after yourselves

Hey, at least you’ve got that 266 calorie dinner to look forward to

Over the moon we won the League cup last night, first trophy since 1969, great news.

CT’s fantasy shag iirc

Don't worry, Ant's done that instead

Can I offer some sad Roy Keane to brighten the mood?

Not to mention the contents of your sack.

Oozed sex appeal

She's oozing...something

The graphics I'll either etch or use waterslide decals for the most part, depends what's called for. Eching is a bit more involved and harder to recover from if you bollocks something up. Decal paper is a lot more forgiving, honestly I wish I'd discovered it earlier. Then clearcoat, typically I'll use a gloss polyurethane lacquer since guitar pedals take quite a lot of abuse. Poly can take more of a beating than the automotive clear coats. >> bare enclosure, can't be having that Don't tell anyone I said this but I honestly don't mind a bare enclosure. Most of the stuff I build for myself these days I never bother finishing. It's just going to lie on the floor getting kicked and beer spilled on it. (Edit to add:) most of the kits I've seen being sold look pretty decent. If you've got at least basic soldering skills I say go for it. If you ever run into any problems I'd highly recommend the diystompboxes forum. Great community thats been a far bigger help to me over the years than my electronics engineering background ever was. Aron who runs the forum and a whole host of other names that frequent the place were just featured in the last Premier Guitar magazine which was really nice to see.

0.3kg? aaah shit 0.3kg!

Thanks for lifting the mood. Ok it looks like avoid social media AND mute Dr Gloom's posts might be the way forward now.

It’s every thoroughly depressed man for himself!

It comes in waves for me. My anxiety from covid has been replaced by more immediate concerns, although its made practical issues much harder. Then the added day to day stresses (work, my roof is leaking, money, kids etc) and its easy to see how you could have a breakdown. Ive had one before and never want to go back there, plus I'm needed more than ever. I don't use social media other than here, and here helps.

Aye once it gets to the point Joelinton has scored twice it’s rude to celebrate.

That’ll delay your arrival at the Billy Mill roundabout

Well, that’s a softener.

Well I’ve just bought running shoes if you need a smile Seriously, this year has effected a lot of people mentally in a lot of ways whether it’s the isolation, worrying about money, health, kids, work etc etc. You are both definitley not alone. My advice is try and not to worry about the news / stuff you can not do anything about and get up tomorrow and just give one of the charity’s a ring and get some stuff off your chest. All the best to the both of you.

That's my breakfast all over the desk

Unforgettable tbh

I get you, I've been all over the place mentally throughout this whole year to be honest, and like you, in a way it's never been like before (though thinking back, it was brewing before COVID so I can't blame it entirely on that - the state of the world has massively exacerbated it though). Probably should go (well, "go") and see someone about it at some point, but never having done so before, kickstarting that whole thing just feels like a right faff under the current circumstances, I dunno. I've even deleted this post then rewritten it a couple of times due to anxiety over whether saying all of this out loud is too much like making your post all about me. Go figure.

3, 2, 1 ... EDWARDS?

Krafteh just shoulder to shoulder with their 9. He went down and crying like a bitch. You can hear all the players shouting to him saying 'Its not school sports day you soft twat'

As you would expect from a surprise symphony.

That's a month's quota of goals used up in one game already. I doubt we'll score again until Early December now.

It’s what they voted for

Tom’s thinking “ fucking hell, I thought I’d got away with this…”

I herd that on the news.

6 people out of about 50 I'm guessing have been made to self isolate. Shared kitchen, toilets etc. I bet its those dirty bastards from diagnostics....

Btw this government is never gonna get test and trace sorted. They are too busy lying about the present and making undeliverable promises for the future. There isn't the will there to fix it - why bother when you can lie and say it's sorted? They've been doing it for the last 6 months, they aren't gonna get this fixed before there's a vaccine.

He's gone mad, he has. Lack of glucose to the brain I suspect.

Stupid pillock? Steady on, you've gone too far.

The cost of what you're suggesting and the consequent delay of those kids and the ones coming behind them being delayed from entering the workforce for a year plus having a fallow year at universities is estimated at £5.6 trillion pounds over the first ten years. Your missus' life simply isn't worth that much.

I think the sooner kids learn the crushing, disappointing realities of life, the better. This has been an ideal education in that regard.

I'm surprised he get on metro radio, tbh. Thought the Tyne & Wear satellite TV channel might have been his only bet?

That Storey freak has done some completely unrevealing interviews for metro radio (metro radio ffs ). Caught a bit of one where he was banging on about how different he is from most football club owners. Apparently that’s because he’s doing it because he loves football although I couldn’t help thinking the main difference is other football club owners actually own football clubs

Major lads fan FTM

Apparently he has scored 4 goals in his career

Or Blackstone decided it was attracting too much traffic to their website from people who will never give them any business

I'm sorry MF lad, but I've been told it's a Cockrot pandemic.
