Quite liked that dig at the hibees so have a Charles.

[emoji23] Fair play. You’re committed to this at least.

Personality of the year? As far as rangers managers go he’s pretty inoffensive and quite boring.

To be honest you have the makings of a point at least worth debating but it’s laced with such clear contempt for Aberdeen that it’s not worth it. I mean, you refer to us as a withering corpse then wonder why people are mocking you. McInnes’ transfer record is mixed but he’s also done some excellent recruitment. He’s now been with us 5 years so this is his team and they’re not doing too badly tbh.

Heartwarming to see random guy get the disdain he deserves

A brief stint with an actual left back Will be badly missed unless replaced. I don't think it's possible for us to do all the business we need to in January.

Yeah I'd go with that. Didn't particularly enjoy the 1st film either but the 2nd was nonsense.

'c***s who take themselves too seriously' thread for this pish

Yes the old style ones are awful. A waste of time, money and energy installing those things.

Get out

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. The problem is some people misconstrue this as 'I am entitled to my opinion and you have no right to offend me by disproving, challenging or telling me I'm talking pish'. If everyone was happy to have their opinions challenged and accept mistakes when it's pointed out to them then we'd have a much more harmonious time of it.

A wind up, surely?

They've actually managed to achieve an even bigger farce in parliament today. Impressive.

Pretty sure he said stupid people. In any case, I couldn't care less if he said stupid woman. He's an absolute boob for giving them some cheap ammunition if he did but jesus a little perspective. Who actually gives a f**k?

It's a her but yes, yes I could

Someone at work is in wearing a Christmas jumper with bells on it.

Can relate a lot to this. You’re on the right track with booze and exercise etc. I’ve always found first 2/3 weeks are hard as f**k but if you push through it the head starts to clear, the weight (for me needed) starts coming down and momentum builds and builds. What gets me through first few weeks is just taking one day at a time, knowing at the end of each day I’ve done the right things and nothing stupid like a beer by myself or something, and that it’s just another step towards the right result. Takes time but it will feel great.

I wonder if David Cameron realises quite what a monumental mess he has caused here.

Totally agree. Couldn't recommend exercise enough as a pick me up or bit of escapism, even if it's just half an hour.

I've considered it definitely. My mental health has definitely improved significantly if I've cut out or significantly reduced the intake, which definitely has made me think if I should just bin it. Prior to the weekend I mentioned I'd had a run of about 10 weeks with only drinking once a week, and so long as I got to the gym or for a run on the Sunday I didn't feel any ill effects on my mental health. In an ideal world I'd like to get to that on a permanent basis. The bad weekend was 3 days in a row and was just horrible to be honest. I still love a beer unfortunately but it wouldn't surprise me if one day I binned it completely. ETA - I signed up to a marathon so that I'm basically committed to not hitting it too hard between now and May, the focus on fitness has been a massive boost to me.

I know you don’t want to engage on it anymore but you deserve called out on this. You’re wrong. You’re very wrong. I realise you’ve had personal experience which I’m sure was very bitter but it doesn’t make your views right. Don’t let your past experience make you so ignorant. Of course there’s an element of personal responsibility and ultimately addicts need to help themselves to get out of it but do not underestimate the power of a mental illness to make people make bad choices. Your view I would guess is held exclusively by people who haven’t experienced it themselves. Anyway others have said everything there is to say but your views are frankly pretty abhorrent.

I don’t agree with your thoughts on addiction/mental health but fair enough for being honest. You aren’t being hypocritical so consider this an apology.

Gascoigne is a different example. He’s assaulted his wife and is currently up on sexual assault charges, along with a long list of other issues. you can’t just blame mental health on that. He does not have my sympathy. Pena has clearly made some bad decisions but are you trying to tell me griffiths hasn’t? According to Rodgers griffiths has had issues for years and only now is getting professional help. Maybe Pena just hasn’t reached that stage yet. I’m going to take a leap of faith and say you don’t know either guy intimately enough to make a judgement on who deserves your sympathy and who deserves mocked.
