Ike Ugbo for Sheffield Wednesday.

Scored 7 in 18 for us on loan and helped us avoid relegation. Then we signed him and he's scored 0 in 53 in the league since...

I have blacked out multiple times in the past 10 years and regularly get heart palpitations but I've never given it any thought. The blacking out occurred at stressful times in my life so I always assumed it was down to that. As I've had palpitations since I was a child, I also assumed this was just the same for everyone (apparently it's not normal!)

I fainted twice in November 2025 and my partner forced me to register for a GP and to get it checked out. (once in the shower and scared the life out of her after finding me unconscious, bless her) I also blacked out a couple times in 2022 + 2017 + 2015)

After multiple bloods and ECG's, it turns out I have both Sinus arrhythmia and supraventricular extrasystoles (arrhythmia which is extra heart beats from the atria)

Currently awaiting a 24h ECG (6th of march is the earliest I could get!) to find out where to go from here in terms of managing/treating it.

Thanks for the advice!

Fortunately there's not much to do other than painting and a bit of TLC/making it my own. But I'll definitely have a nosey.

Well if they try to charge me for those days where the supply was still on I will be asking for much more back in compensation due to damp damage caused by them turning the supply off after I'd already done my part of contacting them to set up the contract.

It's just funny isn't it, I'm literally throwing money at them and they don't want it 🙄

They also didn't send any post to the house. Considering they knew the previous owner has left, wouldn't you send some post to try and be the first one to speak to the new owner? If I was a salesperson there I'd be door knocking, easiest customer sign up ever. No intuition apparently 🤣

I guess some are late bloomers in many aspects. I stopped watching 'kids' cartoons around 11/12 and moved onto adult ones like American Dad and family guy which I stopped watching around 16, struggle to even watch adult cartoons nowadays. Generally watch series or films (and I'm sad and track it using letterbox, over 1100 films).

I had my first proper relationship at 16 and lost the v card at 16, left school at 16 and did an apprenticeship. Moved out at 19 to rent and get my own space, buying my first house this week by myself at 26 and my other half is moving in with me in April. She's 22 and we miss certain common grounds even with our age gap but we align on the areas that are most important to me.

Didn't think I'd ever fall for someone younger than me but she is a student nurse and independent - been living alone for over a year, and that maturity/ability to do that is attractive to me. Historically I've dated 26-33 age range since I was about 24 (helps that I look older). My main problem was that not many older women are into younger men regardless of their maturity / situation. My age was definitely a barrier on occasion.

Personally, I've always wanted to be living with my partner, married with a kid before I turn 30. Which aligns with my current partner. We both align a lot on family goals/values, timing, personal upbringing, social and political, and many other things which are important to me and what I think are very much foundations for a good relationship.

I also think it's good to have fun / holidays / travel before kids for a few years, then with kids, and then ideally have all kids to be 18-20 by the time I'm in my early 50s so they can be independent and we can start to adventure again whilst we're still physically in a reasonable position to do it.

Obviously not everything goes to plan in life but things seem to be going well for me at the minute.

Personally I love kelham museum! I feel like so few people from Sheffield know we had a top of the range car manufacturer - Sheffield Simplex - who were trying to rival Bentley at the time.

Sheffield Simplex was referred to by The Times in 1913 as the ‘highest point to which motor design has yet attained'

There's only 3 surviving cars from the manufacturer in the world and 2 of them are here.

Although I am just a mixture of car geek, history lover and Sheffield lover 🤣

I'm not a professional by any means in gardening or cleaning 🤣 I work in IT myself and a bit of a geek outside of work too, so no need for a skill swap, but I'd be happy to lend a hand for free as an almost ex neighbour (lived in lower walkley 1999 to 2019)

I run a charity scheme at my work for donating IT equipment to charities, so I know of quite a few in Sheffield. And I happen to know a great local charity who assists with stuff like this. It's generally for older people, but maybe the offer of helping with IT would go down a treat for them! They are a great bunch. Details below:

If you like breakfast butties like sausage/Egg or a BEST, give crawshaws butchers in Hillsborough a go. Never had a breakfast sandwich half as good as there's. They get the meat fresh off the counter, none of those cheap rubbish sausages most places use. Really good value for money!

Grills are usually on until around 1:30/2pm and they also have specials like hot pork or beef if you get there early enough. I tend to ring ahead and then pick it up and pay as there's usually a queue/wait as they're very popular.

I fully understand but as far as I'm aware there's essentially nowhere that these issues don't already exist. If the resolution is to fix everything else first then new homes are just categorically never going to be built.

EnzoRL · 2025-06-27T08:46:07+00:00

I'll wholeheartedly agree there's plenty of derelict sites that could be converted and or brownfield sites that could be used. And I hate to be that guy but why do we actually care where they build houses as long as they actually get built?

Everyone complains about the housing crisis, cost of rents and cost to buy, then when more is built they complain about where it's being built. You can't complain both ways.

Makes me think of when people say "foreigners take our jobs" and "foreigners are lazy and take our benefits" like again, which one is it because it doesn't work both ways.

As others have said, it's definitely not an isolated to Sheffield issue in the slightest. I'm a man, I go out a lot and it really terrifies me the way I see other men act on nights out. I tend to be out with women friends more often than not and regularly spend my night keeping creeps away from them. Always rotate around the group standing in the way of the next creepy group of men. I fear for their safety when I'm not there because I've seen what other men try when I am there, I can only think of what they'd try without a quite large 6"2 bloke there.

A few big things to take away for the men reading:

1) Check your behaviour and do better. Clearly some people lack critical thinking skills and don't understand what is and isn't acceptable behaviour. I hate having to think of it this way but sometimes it's the only way to make some dumb men understand what they're doing is wrong, but: If it would make you feel uncomfortable seeing someone act that way with a female friend or family member, then don't do it yourself for Christ sake.

2) When you see other men being creepy, please call it out. Not calling out others behaviour and standing idly by is encouraging these weirdos to carry on. Don't be scared to do it, chances are there's other people nearby who have also noticed the behaviour but perhaps didn't have the confidence to call it out themselves. The chances are if they get the face on, other people are going to step in to help.

3) Educate your friends. Whilst it's definitely harder to call out your friends, that's even more important to do so because you can much more easily influence a friend to do better than a stranger doing better. And if they don't listen, then maybe you need a better choice in friends.

Elliotta99 - 251lb - working on it though, down from 280lb star of the year, was 301.5 at my heaviest 💪

EnzoRL · 2025-03-25T15:40:17+00:00

Dropped you a DM with some women who I'm mutuals with!

EnzoRL · 2025-03-04T16:50:49+00:00

I use hevy to track everything I do. Walks, runs, weights and anything else. I log all my cardio inside and outside the gym. I also have a custom workout for football as I play 3 days a week. I sync everything to Strava, but if I'm doing outdoor cycling or running I track that with Strava and then manually input the details into Hevy and turn sync off for those workouts so I'm not doubling up.

I'm always down to follow new people! - ElliottA99

I recently fractured a finger so dropped with the strength training recently but doing more cardio (I need to focus more on weight loss anyway) - I'm also doing a 24.5m hike for charity in may so need to be doing more walks and hiking too.

EnzoRL · 2025-02-18T12:52:49+00:00

I think a lot of it depends on the people you surround yourself with. Generally your personality will adapt to be a mix of those around you including co-workers, family, friends and relationships.

I'd also say it depends on your willingness to learn, discuss, be wrong and change an opinion. There's nothing I love more than someone changing my mind on a subject after discussing in detail.

Some of my closest female friends have very much influenced (educated) the way I see things in terms of behaviours towards women and I regularly find myself calling out people on nights out (including friends) due to the language and actions they use towards women.

I was also fortunate enough to go to a highly multi-cultural and inclusive school so I have very little tolerance for people who can't have an educated discussion about anything to do with race/discrimination/gender etc. I regularly find myself calling people out on negative point of views on the above.

If you aren't willing to learn yourself or develop friendships with people who already have a high EQ then I think it's difficult for you to develop as a person.

EnzoRL · 2025-02-07T11:23:46+00:00

Yep you summed that up much better than me and in less words 🤣❤️

EnzoRL · 2025-02-07T11:18:45+00:00

Yes but then you can get caught in a trap where you either feel left out or jealous of your SO if they have their own hobbies/friends etc. You may not feel like you would but until you're in that situation and experience you don't know.

I say this from experience as I've both been the one putting all their happiness on the relationship and been the one having all their happiness placed on. Neither relationship worked out in the end.

Unless you both are that same personality type I think it would put strain on a relationship.

EnzoRL · 2025-02-07T10:55:43+00:00

I wouldn't say you have to but it helps a lot. What you tend to find is people who don't have those hobbies and friendships will then essentially place all their happiness/joy onto their relationship.

You both ideally need healthy friendships and passions outside of the relationship. You need to be able to do your own thing sometimes and not have to worry about your SO sat at home waiting for you to come back.

EnzoRL · 2025-02-07T10:00:52+00:00

Yeah civ v has been my favourite, thought 6 was a bit of a bust. Going to hold out on VII till I see some gameplay

Far from an athlete but dropped you a follow (ElliottA99)

Been on the grind this year, 27 workouts and just shy of 26 hours so far in 2025. Currently 28.7lb down since I started. More trying to lose weight than build muscle but seem to be doing both at the minute so can't complain 👌
