Stupid little things that bug you

I'm shooting an accusatory glare at the scarf I bought the other night at the Sporting game. Its not a half and half job, it's an official one from one of those kiosk things outside the ground. We haven't scored since and if we draw a blank next time.....well, who knows....

Hmmm, hospital food is not the best so maybe I will just say I didn't have my glasses on. :-)

Smart man! ;-)

Showing replays of corners, fouls, saves etc. when there's action on the pitch. In "the old days", they would wait for the ball to go out of play, now it's instant. Typically, when showing 3 or 4 replay of a corner, the cameras suddenly swing back when a shot on goal almost catches them out.
And you can add close ups of a players snotting, the crowd, the bench, celebs, ...

There was one on Monday night when a Palace player was waiting to come back on the pitch after "suffering cramp" and the camera was staying on him, but the crowd were obviously excited about something happening in the bloody match. I was screaming at the TV like a nutter asking for the action to be shown!

How every other teenager has “Mental Health “ problems these days.
* did we ignore MH years ago and it’s always been that way ?
• is MH the new bad back ?
• is it a badge of honour ?
• is the number roughly equivalent to the number of teenage wokes ?
• has the modern way lead to this ?
• or am I just being a Cnut.

and yes I do know there are many youngsters out there with a genuine condition.

When i was a kid it was an innocent time , now with social media it is very stressfull, bullies can get kids in their homes , there are many downsides of the internet , they see things we never dreamed of seeing

High profile people speaking out has made it more acceptable to talk about , brought it out of the shadows , gary speed prompted the discussion in football

Exams and expectations are higher since everyone is supposed to aim for uni etc

As a human race we looked down on people with depression and other mental health problems , you got pull yourself together and get on with it until recent years

Lastly the last two years have fucked with most peoples mental health

You're not being a ****, just realistic, I've been saying this for years, we just didn't seem to have it when I was younger.....It's definately a badge of honour indeed if having mental health problems is an honour in this snowflake world we live in.

@kaz7 sometimes you talk a lot of shit, but sometimes you hit the nail on the head :-)
The sad one for me is PTSD. The 2 world wars were bad and we didn't understand ptsd then but we have had relative peace until the 70's.
Since then 'The troubles', The Falkands, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iraq and of course terrorism with regards to the public being a target/injured in the UK.
The Manchester arena bomb touched everyone around here, everyone knew someone, even in a loose way, who had been injured/died. That is why mental health is talked about now..... back in a minute.

In the old days no one knew about dyslexia. I reckon loads of lads were banged up in Borstals because they were considered criminals, now we appreciate MH issues.
