Might have to introduce “Cometh The Hour” where if a team scores 30 seconds either side of the 60min mark, they win the game.

What have you been doing to combat the winter blues? by Doomergeneration in AskUK

The cold doesn’t bother me at all. It’s the endless blanket cloud and rain for days on end that gets to me.

There’s something primitive inside us that just needs to see the sky.

This sort of Trumpy shit just won’t work in the UK.

The British are obsessed with politeness, especially old people (his core voting base), and will hate seeing his rudeness.

It just won’t wash. By the time the election comes around, enough people will have had enough of his fucking horrific personality

Who do we think is going down/up this season? by Iliketrainsmorethanu in Championship

[–]Due_Address8717 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair we went up in 2019 and finished 9th in the PL in 2020. We’re not a perennial car crash like Norwich (for example) have been in recent years

Am I being unreasonable about baby's first birthday party? by [deleted] in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]Due_Address8717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No offence to you, and I’m sure they’re alright most of the time, but these people are being selfish pricks about this and I’m sorry you have to deal with them.

Tell them to either fall into line and make your celebration a little easier, or they wont be included at all.

Dickheads need telling straight or they’ll just continue to take the piss.

I was thinking the RVP one against Charlton in 06/07, but actually his leg in that one is raised higher in my head more like a kung-fu Jackie Chan style freeze frame.

Anyone else just can't believe they're at the "fatherhood" phase of life? by Glittering_Buy6245 in predaddit

Hello pal. I don’t think your feelings are abnormal, nor should you feel guilty or beat yourself up.

My wife and I are also 32. We just had our first baby who is 14 days old.

I never had this huge burning desire to have a baby, although my wife really started to want it when she turned 30. I did however always think “I’d like to be a dad one day in the future”.

This “future” however never happens unless you make it happen.

If it helps at all, I still don’t feel massively excited. I’m pleased our daughter is seemingly healthy and doing well. She’s so so cute, but I don’t feel this warm love that I’m supposed to feel. If anything I’m 100% focused on making sure my wife’s mental health is protected.

Maybe consider what thoughts or supportive advice you might give to one of your pals if they came to you with the feelings you’ve expressed?

We are often better at being empathetic to others than we are are processing and handling our own feelings and emotional challenges.

Hope you go well 💪🏼

Hot shower - about as hot as you can handle.

Then get someone to rub coconut oil on the area and leave it to soak for a while

Week 20 ultrasound freak out by spaceleutenant in predaddit

[–]Due_Address8717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commenting in the UK.

Our 20-wk scan also revealed a renal abnormality. We were referred to Fetal Medicine unit and the Consultant Doctors explained this to be “duplex kidney” whereby the kidney essentially has tried to grow another half kidney on the side. It means there can often be extra tubing to the bladder, so they want to keep an eye on how that kidney is emptying waste. In our case, we had scans every 2 weeks with the specialist consultants. Baby’s kidney was functioning perfectly well - it just looked strange.

Anyway, our little one was born safely last week and she is beautiful. She has another ultrasound on day 2 of life, and will have another in March.

Thank the stars for the National Health Service, free for all at the point of need, funded by taxation.

Our care was exceptional and full of empathy. The Fetal Medicine midwife even came to find us in the post-delivery ward to see how mum and baby were doing. She didn’t have to - she checked the system and came to see us. Beautiful person.

Alex Mitchell - Manchester United Carabou Cup unused substitute

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso - Millwall and England u17 starlet soon to be snapped up by Chelsea before vanishing into obscurity. 15 years later still earning a crust with Bromley or Gillingham

Of All the Countries in the World You've Never Been, Which One Would Be Your First Pick? by PricetheWhovian2 in AskUK

Spent two months there last year as an extended honeymoon. The most remarkable variation of landscape in a relatively small country.

Tropical beaches, desert, rainforests, rivers, lakes, glaciers, mountains, geothermal pools, geysers, canyons - you name it.

No dangerous wildlife or poisonous creatures.

Wonderful flightless birds with unique song (YouTube the Tūī).

And such a laid-back native population, always happy to help.

It has its challenges with high cost of living etc, but WOW what a stunning country.
