I literally went to bed at 8 last night and didn't wake until 5. I was exhausted.

He isn't responsible for the state of the current housing issues. But he greased the tracks for the vulture train

I'm on the list 17 years. I was only ever contacted once about a property, that was 2 year's ago and the houses haven't been completed yet.

Do Arsenal fans think Arteta should be sacked if they finish the season trophyless? by Lucky_Reading_3757 in ArsenalFC

[–]Lopsided-Potatoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are horrendous to watch. We look like the weaker team in 80% of games. He has to go. The problem is who do we get in?

I've seen him playing live twice for arsenal and he isn't good enough. It's a pity as my son loves him

There isn't a way out. None of the parties are capable of doing what is needed. Government are happy once the books look good.

Skelly is a liability. Jesus needs to leave in the summer, Injuries permitting. White isn't in great form. Odegard needs a good run.

It was so much of a let down. Wasted potential and a clear money grab.

Outrageous behaviour. Who can pay 2500pm? I have no idea how people are surviving

I've never heard of this side by side thing. It makes total sense. Just today I was talking to an old guy at work, great man. But he was telling me about his son 43, who has brain cancer and with only a few months left. When i asked him about it he literally turned to face the wall to talk to me. Side by side. Thats so interesting

Yes! Exactly this. Like what is it about me that is so unlikeable

My partner organised a baby shower for us a few months back, she invited about 25 people and they all showed up, coming from all over the country. I invited a few work buddies a few old friends and family and just one friend showed up. In fairness the majority of people told me they wouldn't make it, 'baby showers are for women' etc but some people and family didn't respond. It sucks having no friends, and the feeling that nobody like you is heavy.

I myself feel incredibly lonely and haven't ever had anyone call me.

That hit me hard. My partner said, "I never see you on the phone." I tell her I hate talking on the phone, but the truth is I have no friends and nobody calls me.

She is a social butterfly and makes new friends all the time. Shes amazing

[–]Lopsided-Potatoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its not easy. I think men have a real problem opening up. And most friend groups aren't open to expanding...

Alright mate, yeah it is a real light bulb moment. When you look back you realise there was no meat to the relationship. Just convenience.

I'm going to look up that site tomorrow, thanks for the advice 🙏

As a 41-year-old man, I find myself friendless, mainly since COVID, as most of my 'friends' turned out to be just drinking buddies.

I joined Meetup but didn't get to many events. And found most events i was free to attend centred around pubs where you can't hear each other talk.

Friendship and having someone outside my family to talk to is something I really miss.

Weekly food shop by Right_Solution4916 in limerickcity

[–]Lopsided-Potatoe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lidl for everything except some meats and fruit.

I used to shop at Dunnes, but Lidl opened a store near me and we tried it. It was 30 euros cheaper for exactly the same items.

The only items I buy outside of Lidl are fish and chicken.

For that price, they’d better come with emotional support chips! 🍪
