I dislike most clubs who aren't Leicester. For some reason disliking Wrexham is the only one that generates so much shock from some quarters.

I just find them very irritating. Reynolds especially. Mostly because they're insufferably north American, which is my own prejudice obviously. But also the whole rags to riches, 'blue collar' stuff feels incredibly forced. They're a big, pretty rich club for that level. Good for them, but I don't understand why they get so touchy when people say they don't care for them.

I'll be honest I absolutely hate them.

Finding out this year for the first time trains don't run on boxing day....

They'll stay up on the last day of course, with some incredible slice of fortune. The Everton way.

Edit, sorry misread your post. It is not contradictory to say the second sentence is true but the first is incorrect.

appear to be on general sale in the home end now. Vardy corner takeover?

Had an effect on me too, and possibly still does even when I'm not drinking. Other good reasons to encourage people to cut down: - Skin feels so much better. Used to get quite itchy skin especially at winter but it's improved significantly since cutting down, though still not perfect. - Let's be honest it's great for the sex life

Thanks for all the posts. Helps a lot to hear other people's experiences.

Me too, and I try to remember that. 2 beers drunk slowly down the pub is a lot nicer than necking 4/5. I realised that at the QPR game last month - had a very slow single pint before the game and enjoyed it much more than usual. I think Adrian Chiles has written about this as well.

How have people felt while giving up? I had very mild headaches which I wondered might be down to alcohol withdrawal. Generally go after about 4 days post alcohol. But feel more energetic, especially in the early evening where usually I'd be falling asleep on the tube going home.

I'm going to start trying the 0% beers. Have a feeling I won't like them loads but really as long as I'm holding a beer coloured liquid in a pint glass I'll probably not even notice. The thing that worries me is that I'll be too tempted to go onto something else...

Usually about 3-4 pints on either day. Not loads but I want to cut it out completely to be honest. I find drinking at home easy to avoid, but when I'm in a pub I find it harder to leave.

Just read this. I'm so sorry. Thank you for sharing, it can't have been easy. I hope you and your daughter are doing well.

So I'm trying to do this. At the moment I've managed to cut it out apart from a Friday or Saturday (was bad last week and did both). Would like now to try and do 2 weeks completely without. Have to say I don't really miss the beer. The taste, the feeling of being slightly drunk. And I thought I loved beer. But I miss pubs, and being in them is probably the most dangerous thing for me. I find it harder to have 1 than to have 0. Would be interested to hear other people's experiences.

Only Sarajevo and Mostar. But I remember the taking the train between them and thinking how much I wanted to explore the lesser known parts of the country. Lived in Bulgaria for five years and went to most parts of the Balkans and my one regret is that I didn't travel round Bosnia more, find little places like this: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.0082345,17.878751,3a,75y,52.15h,94.44t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipO_AqO7lNvlLoh5xqJPHXosuKoqm2w7F5bwxA7E!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipO_AqO7lNvlLoh5xqJPHXosuKoqm2w7F5bwxA7E%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-20-ya302-ro0-fo100!7i7680!8i3840?entry=ttu Those two cities are both great though. Sarajevo is incredible. The whole of ex-Yugo is brilliant.

Bosnia is beautiful. People very friendly too and great food. Feels like the least developed country in the Balkans, which I suppose could be a good or bad thing.

Also 'Brock Purdy' is just a quarterback name. Pure Americana.

True. I'd rather we focus on the fact he is the man most responsible for the last decade of declining living standards

he would say that though

chaos with Keir Starmer

and we need to resist American cultural hegemony in any small way we can

Yeah you're probably right. Just the sight of Cameron has brought it all back today. Tbf though the guy face ****ed a dead pig

Maybe "far" was a bit much. I maintain he's worse than any other PM not only in terms of the consequences of his time as leader but also in terms of his character.

He's also corrupt as ****. Just an awful person and politician, far worse than those that have come after him.
