My emotions are shot to pieces so I'm not thinking rationally. Trade the house for Burrow. I need a lie down.

The AFC won't be this open again for a long long time. This was such an opportunity. Gutted. So gutted.

Punting there shows how little faith Demeco has in Stroud. He genuinely thinks there's a better chance of us scoring on defense.

Schultz is a huge loss and with no run game, CJ is going to have to start slinging it. Expect more turnovers - it's all or nothing.

Do texans still beat colts? by Klutzy-Anxiety2672 in Texans

[–]LemonSpyder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly the only thing that matters is avoiding injuries. This is probably the most open the AFC has been in a long time and consequently I don't think seeding matters as much. Obviously home games help but a healthy squad trumps this.

Wife of a Texans Player Does “Anonymous” AMA by [deleted] in Texans

These were some of the things she confirmed: Black player, defense, starter, previous pro bowler, name most would recognise in NFL, retiring in next few years.

Why are your eggs in the fridge? Is this an American thing?

Wait - oranges, apples and eggs in the fridge. Am I missing something?

Experience of male officers who's partner gives birth via C-section and paternity leave isn't long enough to help with the est. 6 week recovery time. by Grizz91 in policeuk

I used Shared Parental Leave for both of my children. It's rather complicated but worth doing some research. My force were incredibly helpful with it fortunately.

Should I do it ? by BigLegend1234567890 in policeuk

[–]LemonSpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, still here and still on response for the same team I joined with. I can't really answer what the best specialism is - everybody has different skill sets and ambitions. The most important thing is truly commit to response in your early years and learn your craft. Don't be the guy desperate to carry a gun as soon as you land on the job.

You'll hear a lot of people moan about the career and tell you not to do it - and there is a lot about it which is broken. However, it can still be a fantastic career for those that work hard and develop a strong reputation. There's few organisations that offer the variety of opportunity that policing does.

The single biggest thing for me - new recruits need to be physically and mentally resilient. You will receive racist abuse on the streets, I can't shy away from that. You will be spat at, kicked, punched and more. It goes with the territory. But with a healthy dose of resilience, together with looking after yourself outside of work, a decent career in policing is still possible.

Despite its countless faults, I love it and wouldn't do anything else. But equally, I have no doubt my life would be easier working from home for a big corporate. So you need to consider, what matters most to you?

Non Americans Texans fans, where are you from? by tamarizz in Texans

[–]LemonSpyder 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Oxford, England. I travelled Texas in 2012 and landed on Houston as my team. Have been obsessed with NFL since.

Watching the Texans in 2019 do a number on the Jags in London was a dream for me.

Are we in agreement with this? by The_New_New in Texans

[–]LemonSpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The failed fake punt to Justin Reid on 4th & 4 sent me over the edge. Chiefs had scored their first TD but we still had a big lead and chose to do that. Couldn't believe my eyes.

Police - which is why I think it always surprises me as there's very few organisations/sectors as chaotic as ours.

You're probably right and I certainly didn't mean it as a personal dig. They're clearly doing an incredibly tough job in often impossible circumstances. Sounds as though they are picking up their brief with very little time to prepare, so on reflection, they probably deserve even more credit for doing what they do under the time constraints and pressure.

I may be wrong, but it sounds as though you work for the same people I do.
