:) had my first ever job in Offenham. Hoeing cabbages for the Smith family. Aged 11 got 30p an hour:)

Admitting he's always known he was gay means he's treated his wife in a very poor way. Buying a shield. My brother decided to announce he was gay last year aged 50. Been married 20 years and got 2 sons. If he'd announced it when he was younger none of us would have been surprised and it...

That the Beacon? Love that part of the world. Had an aunt in Malvern Wells. Spent a lot of time walking the hills as a kid. British camp, the old quarry, holy well were old favourites.

People tired of the main 2 parties. Some chronic domestic issues that all have failed to address. Sinn Fein have campaigned on these domestic issues rather than reunification etc.

I get this. I always hated the "schmoozing" that people expected when I was building my businesses (the TV one was the worst). I just don't get talking for the sake of talking. Some people used to think I was rude as I drifted off / became distracted during pointless group conversations. Latest...

I can relate to this. My wife is the only who I've opened up to and that took time to do. I don't really understand what's happened to me. I can see the root causes of some of it but can't seem to "bounce" back like I did when I was younger and had setbacks. Like others on here I've resorted...

"liked" a lot of posts on here today. Hadn't seen this thread before I've had a couple of difficult years when I could have lost everything I've worked all my life to build up. I've experienced anxiety and even panic attacks which is something I never expected to happen to someone my age...

Hutch to Man City. Cried, couldn't understand. He'd been an ever-present in my City "career". Had no idea at the time that he was 34 and supposed to be winding down (although he was still playing for Swansea 10 years later).

All clubs outside the top 4 or 5 are selling clubs. Even the PL "smaller" clubs get cherry picked by the big ones. Even if we go up we'll be needing to try and sell a couple of players to finance a season in the Championship ( wages aren't going to stay at L1 levels) Average wage bill for the...

He does his time in solitary for his own protection.

One of the great superbowls. 49ers looked in control 2nd & 3rd quarters. That PI that let Chiefs back in was a dumb play. Mahomes showed why he's a great already against probably one of the best defensive fronts ever. Not always about yardage - just getting the job done. Having been rattled...

Had the possession, territory and opportunities to win the game but so many mistakes in key situations. 5 or 6 times close to French line in controllable situations and messed up Young needs to go. A better alternative to tuilagi in the centres needed. Got to turn a blitz defence - seen it...

cleared my calendar for tomorrow. Some American friends have booked a big screen at an American diner for the game so proper burgers, wings & all the other American junk food on tap. Looking forward to this.

yep. stood still. Everyone knows you get a blitz defence from Shaun Edwards yet they still try and muscle through it - lack of intellligence & decision-making on the field shockingly poor

just a repeat of WC final. Can't adapt against a more physical side and make unforced errors. Blowing up near to the line. Still think that 2nd try went forward off French player first

Just watched the woman's game. Always impressed by the standard. Good game - physical & skillful. We won 19-13

Hain hits a century for the Lions. Like the fact Sibley & Crawley joining up for the 4 day stuff - experience against quick bowling on Aussie wickets. Bess also going is a good idea But thought the point of the Lions was youngster development - some "old" players there that aren't likely to make...

It's where a draft system and a salary cap works. Amazed year on year at the improvements of the quality of rookies joining the league and how strong college football is. It's just ingrained in the sports culture. High school games get attendances that can reach 20000 and local TV coverage...

So many ways this can go. 49ers may have rushed through the play-offs but had a good passing game in the regular season. Chiefs stopped a "one dimensional" Titans rush by swarming Henry. 49ers don't run the ball the same as the Titans - move about pace and opening running lines. Chiefs have...

They are stuck in a "holding" pattern. Once Wasps got control of the Ricoh SISU have gone into as near a breakeven strategy as they can manage. A return to the Ricoh with increased crowds has the upside of maybe not having to fund running costs through player sales but doesn't make it that much...
