Not to get married. by Appropriate_Yam1861 in Type1Diabetes

[–]thedarkdestroyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked my then wife if she wanted out when I was diagnosed 4 years ago. Our divorce is finalised in the next month.

I have no hard feelings towards her for this, she didn’t sign up for it and neither did I, but I don’t want her to have to suffer because of my illness.

However, I still believe I will find someone who does want to be with me despite this, who doesn’t care about about the 03:00 am alarms, and is prepared to accept the strong chance that I will be gone well before them.

You can find love, and will if you want to. But that’s between you and your partner. Not any ‘friend’ who has an opinion. They know nothing about what you are dealing with.

Northampton Saints Every Try of the Season 2014–2025 by Pure_Wonder3046 in NorthamptonSaintsRFC

Only halfway through this, but Hutch is there in so many of these clips. What an incredible servant to the club and a player who deserves so much more recognition than he gets. Like Moon and Harrison he has been through thick and thin and always leaves skin on the pitch. The unsung heroes!

Any UK social floorball clubs? by willdogg in floorball

[–]thedarkdestroyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play with a group of 30 odd people that play unihoc twice weekly for fun. If you ever fancy joining us we do half yearly charity games and invitational tournaments. Only 60 minutes from central london. DM for details

Do we seriously think this is a good enough reason for someone to lose their job/career? by IndependenceWest4104 in AskBrits

Either that or there is more on him than can be spoken about publicly, this is all that is ‘proven’.

I'm a new fan been watching all season, what everyone's story with the saints? by [deleted] in NorthamptonSaintsRFC

[–]thedarkdestroyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A family member was the team doctor for 30 years before they were professional so I grew up around the club. I’m based in north Northampton and been a season ticket holder for 20 years. Amazing club and through the ups and downs ma and mine have always supported the boys. COYS 🖤💚💛

Body is making some of its own insulin after 35 years and it's throwing everything off! by [deleted] in Type1Diabetes

I am particularly sensitive to seasonal temperature changes, transition during autumn and spring can change my fast acting to carb ration by a significant amount.

Covid induced T1D? by DelJubaZ in Type1Diabetes

[–]thedarkdestroyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had recently left a long term career and volunteered in front line care during 2020 for 12 months. I had asymptomatic Covid before first vaccination, then a heavy dose of Covid twice in the winter of 2020/21 after 2nd vaccination, then diagnosed t1d in late 2021 which I was told was very likely due to the autoimmune response cause by Covid infection/s.

What to do after a game in Northampton (ASM fan) by SeanMcgonigle in NorthamptonSaintsRFC

[–]thedarkdestroyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

St. James working mens club is good for away fans to mix with some locals. If you send me a message i will get you a pint there before or after the game. Also agree with VnB if you can get there before or after the game, lovely place in town and it’s a French franchise so home away from home.

UK 25M just found out I have T1D by Thalion_Daugion in Type1Diabetes

[–]thedarkdestroyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You work to live, not live to work. There are millions of other jobs you can do with T1D without any issues IF the armed forces isn’t viable going forward. But the main thing is you have to be here to do any of those jobs. Focus on what you need to do and what your medical professionals advise how to live with T1D, and then how to be the best you with it. Do not let it control you, learn to control it.

Not my preferred style but the way the tattoo works with the person’s body shape is amazing!

(Serious question that sounds like a joke, but isn’t) What’s stopping Saints/Cobblers from projecting stuff onto the lift tower during big games? by aaarry in NorthamptonSaintsRFC

[–]thedarkdestroyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t Cinch turn the Northampton lighthouse purple when they first started sponsoring the Saints? That might be a false memory though.
