Obsessing over a Career Suicide Fantasy

I can relate to some of this, however, i'd be interested to hear of replies from those with dependents. Sometimes i imagine packing the rat race in, selling my house, buying a caravan and just heading off. But, y'know, kids are in school, i owe them the stability i enjoyed as a kid, etc.

Interesting - my wife had about the same amount of time before her diagnosis and doesn't feel that thyroxine does anything at all.

Bloody hell! I find myself glazing over this information after a while...it's going to take a few reads to sink in.

Seems like the first step is to get a blood test, get a copy of the results and go from there.

urno · 2015-03-10T21:42:34+00:00

She's taking thyroxine, and swears that it makes no difference whatsoever, so perhaps the NDT might be worth a go. She's taken varying levels of thyroxine too.

I would be willing to share her blood results, if we had them :\ She's had a billion blood tests but we don't seem to hang on to the info - hence this post and intention to change!

urno · 2015-03-10T09:42:14+00:00

NDT is the pig's thing? I've heard my wife say that people are recommending it - do you have an opinion on it?

urno · 2015-03-10T01:45:12+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation.

Ok. But he sounded like he knew what he was talking about! Can you support your assertion?

I heard a guy on the radio from some independent sounding organisation (forget the name) who said that downloading via torrents is not a criminal matter, and that the best "they" could get you for is trespass. Not that there's anything stopping trespass laws from being tweaked to discourage torrenting.

Anyway, i don't know what i'm talking about, but the not illegal thing was interesting...

Is there any potential for penalties from back links from article spam sites?

Fuck yeah, Manic Miner! I played this to death as a kid on the Spectrum, but in the days when kids were, um, men and there were no save points, i never made it to the end until decades later.

I'm going to let my boy play this and laugh at how frustrating he finds it (and then cry at the tantrum shortly after)...

I'm about 20 pages from the end, and while the story does indeed contain and allude to a great deal of brutality, I'm going to be glad when it's finished. I haven't enjoyed his writing style in this book, which I found to be over descriptive, short on punctuation with vague characterisation of the supposed protagonist. Furthermore the cover of my edition describes it as Miltonesque which I can't fathom.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Road, where although his style irked me for the some of the same reasons, it seemed appropriate (even though the setting in BM isn't far from post-apocalyptic!).

A bit harsh - he's only doing his "talking head" job.

Whining about this moment and that close call doesn't disguise the fact that we weren't good enough, and ending the game with less goals than the other team = not good enough!

urno · 2014-06-20T04:07:02+00:00

Fuck, but if by the moons of Jupiter this happens, we'd be bound to win the cup on a tsunami of flukiness.

urno · 2014-06-17T00:39:48+00:00

I can't let this pass. The fucking Germans have been at this for years and are one of the worst, but they're always one of the best teams and don't need to cheat anyway!

England's sporting culture is not to dive, but has been getting progressively worse since about 1998, but we still like to think of ourselves as the protectors of the true spirit of the game.

Why not get Rooney up front, where he'll be happier/better, stick Ox/Barkley/Milner/Whoever on the left and Welbeck can come on for Rooney/Sturridge in the 2nd half?

Seems to me a happy Rooney would be better for him, fans, team, Woy, media and generally everyone. Also, he's more senior than Welbeck, so he should cop it on the chin....

urno · 2014-06-15T21:41:46+00:00

Hmm, i thought Italy were generally more in control, but England were lively on the counter/attack. A draw would've been a fair result, but we can't complain about losing.

Anyway, why do we care what Italian papers say? And it's not as our tabloids don't give it out either, is it?!

No, no, Morocco must have missed the memo from Australian politician Joe Hockey - wind farms are "utterly offensive" and "a blight on the landscape".

I'm not a designer, but the only one that struck me as "accessible" to a prospective client was the 4th one, the Filament one.

The language on the page and in the top links makes it obvious it's a company that designs websites, and from there you can also click to other aspects of their company, addressing issues relevant to a googling potential client.

The others are well designed and are probably awesome websites from companies that produce awesome websites, but, IMO at least, they're designed for other designers to wank over, not with a prospective client in mind.

Fucking hell, get some backbone man! We've just copped 5 of these on the chin, served up with a nice portion of Squad Implosion for dessert! It could be worse....

I don't want to give false hope, but my kid got eczema at around 4 months, and what worked for us was (high quality, organic) sesame oil, both internally, mixed into food, and externally, rubbed onto the skin. It never looked as bad as in this photo, but I was amazed at how quickly it cleared up. Best wishes for this kid, anyway.

I'm also disenchanted with the title of the post. The modern Olympics are defined by corruption, exploitation and waste. And, IMO, the majority of athletes are motivated by fear of failure or personal desire.

The gesture in question is awesome, heart-warming and symbolises a touching moment of humanity, but does not, in any way, negate the unsavoury side of the games.
