One "sport" that they refer to as football, where the ball is rarely kicked, and where a "touchdown" does not involve the ball being touched down, and another where they have a "World Series" with no other nations being invited.

World Champions - because they only play with themselves.

The huge irony with football is that they're so literal with everything else! e.g. Side Walk, Eye glasses etc etc.

World Series is actually named after the Daily World, an old newspaper in the States. Still crap though.

Been around Baz, just not posting.
Got told to leave due to negativity, took a hard look at myself, and chose to change angles.

Longlostfan, your posts were reasonable and how you felt.

They were, but in all honesty, I was spiralling into a very negative place, both here and offline too!
So, thanks to Lad and Alf for calling me out. I needed it, and, in all honesty, they probably helped me see a bigger picture.
Side before self never rang louder.

That sounds positive progress, LLF. Glad you're back, and wish you all the best in whatever it is you're getting to grips with. ??

Great post, LLF. None of us know what's going on in our individual lives, and seldom take the time to stand back and consider: is this a positive pastime for me?

Chris, Chris strongly challenged me on my very blinkered and very irrational view of Victor Orta. It had a profound effect; I was taking everything online personally, which was idiotically ridiculous.

I immediately erased Bookface, Insta, even erased Google for a less politicised search engine, and it was incredibly cathartic.

Anyway, great to have you back, now all together Kumbya my Lo.

Apologies, LLF, if I upset you. I do seem to recall saying something in a post. Think I can get too defensive when it feels like players and staff get a lot of abuse. Yes, they are well paid, but that doesn't make them less human, and when I see them day in, day out, and won't go as far as saying "friends", but colleagues, it does upset me when I see constant abuse aimed at the same people I then see the day after working 20 hours a day doing their best, and people who may not have the full facts take aim blindly.



So, apologies if my defence of these people took aim at you. It won't have been personal to you.

Glad to have you back. ALAW.
