      I won the league with Birmingham out of nowhere, i thought finishing 9th the season before was an underdog triumph lol. Wasn’t even top 6 for the first half of the season but won 17 out of 19 matches in the second half.

    Been slowly and patiently upgrading my keyboards over the last few years. Waiting months at a time checking eBay daily for bargains. Buy cheap, use for a while to further dial in what I want from a board, then sell for profit to fund the next one.

    HyperX Origins>Ducky One2 Mini with gateron browns, tape and foam modded>GK86 Rosewood with Morandis, carbon plate and tape mod>Idabao ID80 V2 with Morandis

    Total RRP of over £500, actual spend of £180. Taking onboard my keycap and Morandi switches purchases, I’m currently £10 profit after the latest ID80 V2 buy so might buy some durock stabs. I’m in love with it and will probably stick with it for quite a while. In comparison to most of the people over at r/MechanicalKeyboards this is child’s play though 💸💸💸

    that time in life when it feels i am constantly 2 days late to every action item & activity in my life; and missing deadlines all the fucking time - whether at home or at work.

    and the constant cycle of thinking about work when at home; and thinking of home when at work.

    haven’t taken a vacation in ages; making Quarterly Business Reviews & Forecasting for data for 2024 when there is no coherent strategy OR business to review currently - just astounds me how stupid life is at times.

    if i am exponentially richer - reckon this problem would go away for good, right? if anyone wants to add me to their will; that’d be swell…

    stay happy, stay sane & stay healthy Gooners.

    VCC my mates \m/

      Mate you need to take a holiday and reflect on sorting a healthier work/life balance. Don’t grind too hard for too long. Life is short.

    I just cannot get into FIFA23. 22 just feels the best.

    Created a new save on PC full of mods, looks like it’ll be way more enjoyable on there.

    Obviously went with Arsenal but tried to keep it semi realistic and not go crazy with signings

    Absolutely no one asked, but my new dream in life is to have a diamond encrusted toilet dipped in gold.

    Only the finest throne for me.

    It’s so annoying when you have teammates who are ‘seniors’ with more than a decade worth of experience being incompetent idiots. They absolute don’t pull their weight for what they earn. Ngl, It’s demoralizing and I hate working with people like that.

    Wonder how that translates to football as well, do teammates go and complain to their manager or they just suck it up and drag the dead weight for the team.

    And to be absolutely clear, this is not an indirect slander aimed at any player I just wanted to vent my frustration.

    Met Jack Wilshere recently on a flight. Thought it was him during boarding when I walked through business class, but with his head down I wasn’t sure. Then towards the end of the flight, he walked to the back and was stuck in “human traffic” right in front of my seat, so I just said, “Hi Jack, huge Arsenal fan.” and shook his hand.

      Yeh I learnt the hard way about not backing up. My laptop fell off the toilet a few years back (don’t ask) and I lost years of work and photos.

      Honestly think the game is gone.

      Jagex spend way too much time pandering to the niche audiences (Ironman, UIM etc) of the game which is ironic as those players literally signed up to their limitations and handicaps. Everyone else just gets shafted.

      Leagues and DMM are ace products though.

    I’m patiently waiting for Black Friday so I can get a new TV. I’m trying to nab an LG C3 42". Imagine I’ve never even had a 4K tv. Ready to be blown away!

    Hahhaaaaa I can’t even play video games because that was my ex and I’s shared hobby, I go from hating her to wanting her back to hating her again. I need to move on and stop being so desperate but I can’t. I guess this is the sign to stop playing video games and get a real hobby.

      You could take a break. But I haven’t been able to write in 3 years. It’s like sometimes people take parts of you with them, like literally. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
