I am considering doing a Football Manager story. What team should I go?

I bought the Touch version this year instead of the full fat version. Really enjoying it. I have a save with Ayr United were I am in the Premiership after five seasons and looking good for a mid table finish. I also have a Celtic save were I am three seasons in and am trying to build a good young Scottish side as far as possible and hopefully win a European trophy.

Kidding on, I don't have a wife.

I wake up in the morning and go for a pish then have a few fags. I then boil the kettle and put the water in the sink and wash my face. I then kick my wife in the arse then go get the bus. Then I go to Somerset Park.

What happened?

Yesterday was my first day back at work after a two month absence due to depression. Two months ago I nearly jumped in front of a train but was talked out of it by the Samaritans. Looking back I'm ashamed and mortified to have been so close to traumatising a train driver because at the time I didn't even think about that. It sounds really selfish when you think about it like that. Anyway, I was warmly welcomed back to work and the day itself was alright. It was good to be back. I've been on Sertraline for two months now and feel a million times better.

I wouldn't shout that from the rooftops.

I do that too. Usually in places like busy trains.

I laughed when Lennon got shot.

What is your sense of humour like, and how important is humour to you? I have been told that I have a very dry sense of humour. It consists mainly of sarcasm and can be quite dark at times. I usually say something for a joke and people think I'm serious and either think I'm a weirdo or an idiot. I have spent most of my working life in mental health care and dementia care which can be quite difficult at times, and it definitely helps if you can see a funny side to things. Some of the things I've seen people do and say in my work have been hilarious, and a lot of people who have mental health problems or severe dementia still actually have a sense of humour. One of the best parts of my job is being able to have a good banter and laugh with the people I look after. My job would be absolutely dire if it wasn't for humour.

Absolute scenes.

Lost 1-0 against Kilmarnock in the Quarter Final of the Betfred Cup. Good cup form aside my league form has been absolutely honking I've only beaten Falkirk 3-1. I signed Derek Lyle on a free transfer from QOTS and he grabbed a double on his debut in a 3-2 loss to Dunfermline. Need to start winning games NOW.

I've drawn Kilmarnock in the next round. Tasty!

OH MY DAYS GREG FLEMING SAVES A PENALTY!! PENALTY UP THE OTHER END! ROBBIE CRAWFORD SCORES!! IN THE 90TH MINUTE!

Started a game with Ayr United and defeated Dundee, Dundee United, Queens Park and East Stirlingshire to top my Betfred Cup Group. Just been drawn to play Dundee again in the next round.. Sick of the sight of Dundonians now.

He wasn't trying to be rude.

I have been struggling with depression recently. A contributing factor in this is that my relationship ended about a month ago which was a sore one because I genuinely loved her, but she said that I made her feel unhappy. I have bouts of feeling really sad and hopeless which make me start crying. Thankfully most of these happen at home but there's been a couple of trips to the toilet in my work to pull myself together. Also I absolutely despise my job. It's an endless and thankless task, the hours are long plus the company I work for is an absolute joke. I have been tempted just to chuck it even though I don't have another job lined up.

Good choice. I need to read this again, it's been a long time. Apparently the main character was based on Fish from Marillion.

I'm left-handed as f**k.

At Somerset Park you get transported back to the 1950's whenever you go to the toilet.

I got tagged in some lassies comment on one of those godawful "most beautiful baby" contest things (along with most of her fb friends) begging for votes for her newborn baby and to share the post. I am absolutely not voting and sharing that shite.

People who feel the need to talk all the time need to be doused in petrol and set alight.
