    nah, I'm boycotting. anyone else?

    I can't see myself going. If I witness an unlikely result on the Telly then I'll be happy regardless. 

    ....also I'll be free to Boo without fear of persecution

  2. This thread is ridiculous. 

    People don't go to game because team have been consistently awful to watch/Sunday/Mother's Day/£40 a ticket  

    Team has one off good game, chances still hanging by a thread.

    Those who went now exhibiting one-upmanship. :huh:

    After the run we have been through surely apathy and disillusionment has to be expected. People have followed us blindly through thick and thin for many years and there naturally comes a time when enough is enough. They still genuinely want Scotland to win but the belief erodes after morale sapping performances and losses.

    Glad it came off tonight but I'm still sitting out of the England game. For me I just can't see us getting the results we need. 

    Hope im wrong though.

    Funny you should say that cos there was 4 of us all had our first between July and December 2014. Think it helped the girls more than it did us mind you.

    Only ever went to one anti natal class bu,to be honest, didn't feel that we got much from it. Some people probably do though. Hopefully she'll get the birthing plan that she prefers. My missus requested a water birth both times but wasn't able to due to having to be induced with my daughter and was too far dilated by the time we got up with my son.

    The wife is approaching half way stage, not experienced any hassle so far!

    have got the second coat of paint in (it's) room tomorrow. Grey. Don't ask - her choice.

    The Georgia home game from that campaign gets pretty much forgotten about but that was a hell of a finish to that one as well.

    Took an early lead through Boyd then Arveladze equalised for them. Beattie came on as a late sub and scored at the death. Hampden was rocking.

    My favourite period following Scotland, which I suspect would be the case for most folk around my age.

    This.

    Congratulations mate. Never knew that.

    You can listen to all the advice in the world but when it's your own, you'll be amazed at how natural you take to it.

    Only advice I would give is make sure you stock up on the wee yellow cartons of milk for the night feeds as opposed to having to get up and boil the kettle for formula bottles lol. 

    Cheers ??

    2 of my mates are expecting too so it's a bit of a weird time for the group of lads. There's some who are still chronically single so outlooks at the weekends are vastly different at the moment

    Congrats buddy

    It is both the most scary and the most rewarding time of your life. One tip i will give is start stocking up on nappies and baby wipes just now. When ever you see them on offer get some as you have no idea how many you will go through

    Apart from that i hope it all goes well and the mother has an easy pregnancy. If she is unlucky enough to suffer from hg give us a shout as my other half went through it and got sick to death of folk giving well meaning but totally wrong advice due to not knowing what hg was

    I had to google that there lol. Not seen anything like that as yet so hopefully it's not an issue.

    I'm glad you are trying to sort it out, for the sake of your wife and kids as much as anything else, I think you should cut your friends loose because one way or another they will get you doing a line again but if you think otherwise I believe you. A dad in prison is not a good look and if thats where you end up or you lose your job, I can't say that you didn't deserve it. There's a lot at stake for you I hope you make the right decisions.

    I don't care less for point scoring, I care about right and wrong. If he wasn't a Dad I couldn't care less what he does but the welfare of his kids are at stake and they don't deserve it. He needs a boot up the baws not coddled from you.

    Congratulations, it's only just March and you've been shortlisted for the TAMB awards.

    where did I say that ? I said it is up to him to sort himself out, nobody brought on his problems but himself.

    The self awareness from Reevesy is clear. You riding in on your high horse has not added anything. 

    The guy has been brave enough to initiate a discussion and you've resorted to point scoring. Top effort.

    I'm about the same age as you, i'm 31 I don't have any kids and I've never been an addict so I don't know what that's like but i'm going to be quite blunt with you anyway. I think you are a idiot, but I think you acknowledge as much yourself. If you are serious about getting off Cocaine then you need to cut contact with your friends, they are clearly no good for you. Your responsibility is to your kids and wife and if being around your mates is compromising your family life then you need to get shot of them right away, no if's no buts. You are a 32 year old man and if one of them calls you up and asks to go out for a few drinks you have to be honest with them and tell them that you are not interested, if they are truly your friends then they will understand and if not then em. Move on. I think you know what's important in life and going out and getting pissed and involved with fights is not one of them, it's up to you.

    Wow. Such compassion.

    Think you might be confusing 'talk to Frank' with 'frank talk', though I am sure Reevesy will agree with much of what you have said. 

     Hope you are a bit more diplomatic with the No voters you want to convert on the Indyref2 thread ? 

    Seconded ??

    The one thing I don't like is that we never seem to get together in our group of mates without getting out our faces on drink or drugs. I need to address that by either finding a new group of pals, or speaking to them about how I'm feeling. There's got to be more to a social life than getting into states like that for "fun".

    Hit the nail on the head there. It's the same for my pals and the drink. Shame really. 

  11. Have a couple of pals who I know get involved in all that kind of stuff on occasion. 

    i can see how it happens though, it's easy to get carried away on the bevvying so can imagine it's a similar situation with the white stuff. 

    Having read your post id say you need to seek some help, I'm sure you can call FRANK or something similar. Talking it through with someone who's trained to deal with these issues is a positive step I'd say. 

    Ps. I'm the sensible pal in my crowd :lol:

  12. I was one of the first of my pals to get married, didn't do a wedding list as it didn't sit well with me. Got some gifts that were extremely generous but didn't expect anything. Giving a present - I'd look to spend £50 per person attending (e.g. £100 from Me and the missus) if I was at an all day event. That's just me though.

    Weddings in general just become a ridiculous expense for absolutely everyone involved. It's all about consumerism and greed these days. No wonder the divorce rate is at >40% since 2000!

    Hope your plans are going well :wub:
