Another one for you younguns: The decisions you make now will affect you for the rest of your life, some good some bad. Make sure you make the right choices because the bad ones hurt a lot.

5 years ago I went from a 25k job in Probation to a 5k student Nurse bursary. My kids (4) were all teenagers (our house was hormone city). My wife was a crap paid class teacher.

Now, I am doing an occupation I first dreamt about doing 10 years ago (still don't earn as much as I used to though). The kids are all grown (house full of adults who love each other is worth all the money in the world, nearly). My wife is a well paid Deputy Head.

The only down side is this elongated wait for a U.S. immigrant visa, but when that finally arrives we will be sorted.

Crowded House - It's Only Natural

Waterfall - Stone Roses

This is not a funny youtube clip but I know I would get a bollocking for putting it on a new thread.

Question is: Would you take this path? Reminds me of outdoor Half Life. I've also had dreams like this. Crapped my way through this vid:

El Camino Del Rey

This Land Is Your Land - Springsteen version on account of today's events

Working Animals

Not available to my country?

That's a shame. Probably the funniest thing on the internet ever seen. Never mind eh?

Keep up the pelvic floor exercises, also helps Big Jim a lot.

I had a mate who always did high end SBDs. He used to share them on a crowded tube in rush hour, used to keep a dead straight face. The fact that he was small made the smell even more disgusting for some reason.

Actually we have the nausiating term 'Team Gee Bee', probably because we are not allowed to say 'Great' Britain.

I think we are allowed a moment or two on this thread this morning men

Croatia had that coming after the way they celebrated knocking us out of the Euros when they had already qualified.

Hate to admit it but I got a bit exited when Shearer's header went in the other night. :oops:

It's still England for me. The best sport in the world being played by the team representing my country, whether they are shit or not or whether I think it should be full of Villa players or not. There is no way I want anyone to beat us. Supporting Villa is and has been like supporting England, massive club/country, done the big one once in the nearish history (my lifetime anyway), most competetive games are potential banana skins, I always moan during matches and I am ecstatic when we score. It's in my blood I'm afraid, can't help it.

You see I made the mistake of buying a house to live in rather than an investment - silly me.

Its still worth more than I paid for it 4 years ago but since Im not planning on moving anytime soon it doesnt really matter - the people who buy to let might have their finger s burnt though

Me too. I was foolhardy enough to raise a family in mine too!

Jonny Cash - Hurt

One of my favourite songs

Recorded shortly before he died I think. Sad sad song.

China Forbes - The Gardens of Sampson and Beasley

Cleaners From Venus - Drowning Butterflies

Also, Between a Rock and A hard Place, is fantastic it's about a guy that got trapped under a rock and cut his own arm off with his pocket knife

Yes I read this. Aaron Ralston; a unique blend of complete dickhead and hero.

He is medically trained as a mountain rescuer so he knew what was happening to his body, highly interesting stuff.

The raven bit was spooky.
