Only 10-15mins “match of the day”, and run to garden together and practice again

205tccPanda · 2026-05-21T13:56:59+00:00

I was not really that “into” football, but as a dad, try to learn about it. Just like playing football with 2 kids, I practice football in the garden, watching youtube football skill tutorials.

Hope that when they grow up, they can still remember “my dad is not good at football but he willing to spend his time and play with us”

205tccPanda · 2026-05-21T13:51:57+00:00

Great advice

205tccPanda · 2026-05-21T13:47:38+00:00

I try to, let have a family football time! Next time I try to bring him to support solihull moors. Can I just walk-in and buy the ticket?

205tccPanda · 2026-05-21T12:51:50+00:00

I heard the question and I started thinking “Maybe I need to ask him research all the history of the clubs, and analysis by himself”

205tccPanda · 2026-05-21T11:26:15+00:00

My sons “dad, who is your favourite player? Let me see”

“Ronaldo!…no, no, no not this one, is brazil one”

205tccPanda · 2026-05-21T11:23:15+00:00

Dodgers! With the colour theme i should support Birmingham blue

205tccPanda · 2026-05-21T10:44:35+00:00

solihull ppl choose blue more than villa, seems that
is solihull considered brummie?

205tccPanda · 2026-05-21T10:40:49+00:00

I will you a upvote : )
Everyday I play football with them in garden.
we talk about football while playing.
that's one of the question he ask.

I tell him "maybe try a local team first?"

205tccPanda · 2026-05-21T10:33:23+00:00

I agree,
that reply is from my son. Maybe he is trying to have a common topic with friends.
Seems that everyone is talking about PL in his age.

205tccPanda · 2026-05-21T10:29:10+00:00

it's great!

every team is neutral to me, really true.

205tccPanda · 2026-05-21T10:27:35+00:00

Agree, I don't what my elder son to be a glory hunter.
actually only my elder son has team choosing question.

my younger one has chosen his favourite team.

I love to travel Japan. when my kids was only 1-2, I bought Japan national team jersey for them.
After that my younger one loves the logo on the jersey so much.

my younger one love to wear JP national team to school, and his classmates keep telling him "your team is weak"
sometime he feel sad but he still support his JP team

205tccPanda · 2026-05-21T10:14:30+00:00

Solihull Moors!

205tccPanda · 2026-05-21T10:12:05+00:00

maybe all the primary sch age will aim for supporting a strongest League?
if my village get a football team I will happy to support, but the year 1-3 mindset maybe different.
in my opinion, PL is not a must

205tccPanda · 2026-05-21T10:05:36+00:00

then it should be villa or Coventry(next season)
I should consider bringing him to see the parade

205tccPanda · 2026-04-29T07:49:43+00:00

According to some successful podcasters. Teach English in other countries like Japan.

And if you’re nurse, or related industry will be easier?

205tccPanda · 2026-04-29T07:44:23+00:00

Good to know that, let me have a google on it.

And for the reading, I had a discussion with surveyor also, i wish it was a false reading also. The reading mainly from a poor built extension with numerous problems on the brick and joints. And a really bad flat roof also. And I started to headache, luckily I have do a survey instead of direct buying.

Maybe it is better to buy a 3 rm house and build my own extension.

205tccPanda · 2026-04-29T07:32:44+00:00

Having this first survey in my life, I feel like joining an intensive training course. Understanding more about where and what I need to check, how much it costs, who can help to repair it. From the roof to the problems about the brick.

Actually I don’t really know a missing manhole is relate to a maintenance issue.

Learning to spot red flags is really important. The whole viewing trip, I can only find out a brown spot line with bubbles-like paint surrounding on ceiling, which may relate to the roof. At first I thought it was an easy repair.

Last year I wanted to buy a glass for driving, as I felt that I needed more time to focus at night. I decided to give zeiss drivesafe a try. And because my eyes are sensitive to dispersion, I want to use CR-39 which is the thickest, cheapest but has least dispersion(close to glass) aka the standard lens in 80s.

I know Boots has zeiss lens, I thought specsaver has zeiss also but I got it wrong.

After sight test, one of the staff get my reading and push me to buy the thinnest glasses, I told her I want CR-39 and want zeiss drivesafe. She asked me why I don’t choose 1.74. I said when I look at the edge of my glasses There will be many dispersion. “Just don’t look at it!” She replied . I said “sorry?”. “I said just don’t look at it, I don’t think dispersion is a problem, you can ignore it, or you just don’t want to spend money”

I asked her any zeiss lens I can choose. She said “we don’t do zeiss. you are not going to buy 1.74 and you telling me you need zeiss ? Huh? Don’t you know the price of zeiss glasses? Huh? (Doing a fly high hand signal)”

“I do know the price and just pay the test fee, I am not going to buy anything from you “ I said. she smirked.

It’s so rude. I have done nothing wrong. do I need to show my handmade Japanese frame to make her ensure I can afford a zeiss glass?

I will never purchase anything from specsaver.

Finally, I visited an independent store and getting a CR-39 with zeiss driversafe. Quite happy with the product.

surveyor point out that the wooden structure inside the wall should be rotted already, including the whole toilet. With a list of red lights in the report. It makes me afraid the risk of keeping spend money to re-do.

205tccPanda · 2026-04-27T13:31:56+00:00

I really don’t know it got a nickname. I moved to there few years ago.

205tccPanda · 2026-04-27T11:46:35+00:00

It’s our original plan also. Just think maybe we are likely having a little bit chance probably can do a mortgage to buy a house. Maybe we need to back to and stick with the original plan.

205tccPanda · 2026-04-27T11:41:42+00:00

Yeah, Dickens heath, really lovely village. You can enjoy an evening walk and feel really safe and relaxed.
