One Team In Keynsham Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 This topic might go down like a Led Zeppelin, but I was pondering this past year today, working out the best and worst things on a non-football front. So, to pick 3: Good: 1. Still seem to be in reasonable health despite getting to an age that things start to go wrong. 2. Been blessed with a number of great trips away, notably a fabulous weekend in NYC with my wife, niece and nephew, to celebrate their 21st birthdays (niece and nephew that is, I have not been cradle snatching) 3. After a year of lethargy, getting motivated to getting back out running and looking to some races for 2018. Bad 1. We had to put our beloved dog to sleep: took 3 hours from a routine check-up, to finding a huge tumour, to holding her paw one last time. 2. 2 close friends each lost their dad in recent months, and my own father-in-law is in declining health. 3. Continuing to despair at the ability of large swathes of the human race to be heartless bastards. Over to you lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate my job with every inch of my soul 3. Health problems all year 4. Drifting farther and farther away from my already distant family 5. Tories in government 6. Lifes largely lost any sort of excitement, just steadily ambling through it til I collapse in a big heap of bones, fat and gristle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
