Personally I’ve only ever been to the tollington and the twelve pins and the latter was on a 3pm game day. These are the options:

The Tollington
The Gunners pub
The faltering fallback
Twelve pins
The George pub
Victoria tavern

Any other suggestions are appreciated

So I’m 31M. I’ve just started medication and the dosage was 10mg for 7 days, 20mg for 7 days, 30 for 7 days then 40 for 7 days.

I’m currently on 30mg which I take all at once in the morning/afternoon time. I’m finding that about an hour or two after taking it I’m getting intense anxiety and today I feel absolutely wired lol. I don’t know if it’s placebo but? I made good and I can’t even look at it. It honestly feels like I’ve done a line of coke again.

I also have ocd and that’s been made intermittently worse and occasional a little better.

I’m not really having this eureka moment I’d hoped for that my brain is calm and I can do things easier. I’m going to message my prescriber and let them know but I just wondered what everyone else’s experience is?

Just to note I believe I have the inattentive type, I’m quite calm and relaxed I just can’t concentrate on anything amongst other things

At the moment I feel so lost, I feel so u desirable, ugly and unloveable. I’m used to always talking to a girl and I’ve never been an absolute ladies man but I usually always did alright, I’m 31M and I’ve slept with approx 30 women. After age 25 I lost my nan put on tons of weight and my sex life drastically reduced. I have lost a lot of weight but now I feel like I may as well not have bothered because I can’t get any luck on tinder, no luck when I go out to bars or events. No luck asking female friends for other girls it’s a nightmare. Technically I suppose I’m still a bit overweight I’m roughly 97-98kg, 6ft. 8-12kg left to get rid of which I suppose may help.

Any tips would be good

I’m just wondering as I’ll be looking at getting my own place in 18-24 months. I’m probably looking around 190-200k budget. Would you look at 160-220k and try and bid down? 210? I’ve been looking about 10-20k above budget and trying to think maybe I could ask them to lower it.

Maybe that’s a waste of time? I’d like to get the thoughts of you guys with more experience, thanks

Hey guys, I’m flittering between watching the game at the emirates screening and actually making the trip out to Budapest. I’m just scoping out the situation and seeing what options I’ve got this late in the game and it’s obviously quite difficult. I see a lot of people seem to be in the same place with people offering a shared car journey and shared accommodation.

I thought I’d offer this group so we can easily sort and organise options and things that come up collectively.

If you’re interested then please send me a DM and I’ll send you the link, just to try and avoid any trolls joining.

Hey all, hope this is the right place to post this. Basically looking for a bit of outside perspective because I'm going round in circles in my own head.

I'm 31, living with my parents at the minute which I know is lucky, it at least gives me options. I want to buy my first place in the next couple of years but I'm on around £33k 35k ish by next year. I am capped at 37k where I am. No overtime either and I do enjoy where I am now I haven’t been here long but looking into my future I have to have a plan.

My recent working background is all care related. I've worked in a SEN school, residential care with young people, and right now I'm in a local authority as a personal advisor which is like a less hands on social worker. Before all that I spent about 10 years trying to make it as an actor which didn't work out. I've got a degree (acting, 2:2) so that opens up the masters conversion option for me.

The honest truth is I've stopped caring about finding my passion and I just want a job that pays well and gives me a decent life. Nothing crazy, I just want to comfortably afford a mortgage on my own. I'm thinking £45-50k is the target, hopefully creeping towards £55-60k over the next decade or so.

I've looked at loads of things. Drama therapy, speech and language, NHS routes. I've thought about Step Up to Social Work which I reckon I'd be a decent candidate for, but I've heard the workload is relentless and not great pay. Recently I've been looking seriously at the VOA surveying apprenticeship which seems good on paper but I have doubts about a few things.

Ideally I want something with decent progression, a mix of being out and about rather than stuck at a desk. Happy to do an apprenticeship or go back into study if there's a proper payoff at the end.

Hey guys, I am. PA for a local authority and I’ve been there since December. I’m on 17 caseload probably stopping at around 25. I currently really enjoy my job as I can work from home whenever I’m able to. No micromanaging, a lot of support from mentor, manager and wider team.

I like being useful, I like helping people and I also like the fact that at the end of the day as my job is leaving care it’s geared towards adulthood and independence not doing everything for them.

Having said that, I am assessing my options regarding progression as I want more money and I have considered social worker but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone comment on it being somewhat relaxed, manageable and not stressful. I understand every job can be very stressful sometimes but 8-10 stress level every shift for me sounds horrific.

If I was to be a social worker I would only want to do adults. Do you have to do child work during your training or asye?

Any help is great thanks

I’m going with my mum and do you recommend booking the instructor person with us or doing without? Thanks

So long story short, I live between family houses because they both receive some form of benefits so I have my mail and everything registered to me like bills in my grandparents house. He receives single occupancy discount which is like 25% off council tax if I’m correct? Now I’m 18-24 months away from seriously looking at buying my own first house. I’m 31, and have had some bad credit in the past with defaults. I think most of them are 3-4 years old so when it comes to me buying I won’t be far off them being wiped or close to being wiped. One thing that sticks out on my credit report is that I’m not registered on the electoral register.

Now the questions I have is, does a length of time on that effect the score/rating or is it just plainly being on it? Reason why I ask if it does matter the amount of time then I’m now considering paying the difference of what my family member would lose having to declare that I live there, as someone else said being on the electoral register at a property that claims single occupancy usually triggers a review.

If not then obviously I can just wait a few months before and do it to save that money.

Can anyone advise me on what you think I should do? Thanks!

Not gonna lie and say I’m 100% done because I’ve left a bet for football the rest of season and world cup. And I have a few accounts with free bets and £10 in there.

But this is a HUGE step for me. I’ve lost so much fucking money over the last few months it’s been absolutely disgustingly miserable and I’ve stooped to new lows. I even had 6-8 therapy sessions and I still couldn’t manage to bring myself to quit.

But I finally did it, I’ve finally blocked my fucking card!!! I’m actually so proud of myself.

Although i think this deep sickness is starting to set in now I’m going to have time to think about all the money I’ve lost and now I have to accept that it’s gone and I can’t win it back.

Wish me luck please guys. I think I’m going to get the date tattooed somewhere to give me extra motivation to pack in for good.

Hey guys I’m 31 and I currently work as a PA for a local authority for leaving care. Basically for those that have no idea what my role is I’m sort of an unqualified social worker. I’m basically the guy that takes over from the social worker once they’re 18 and helps them on their way with independent stuff.

I love the hybrid working, I like being out and about rather than stuck behind a desk and I enjoy having control over my own timetable and I really enjoy trying to find ways and tricks to help my young people as best as possible.

However my issue is that the pay just isn’t good enough. I’m currently earning like 33k a year. With the pay increase maybe I’d be on 34k or something. I’m also looking at buying my first house in the next year or two and. And when I forecast I to the future on this wage I could buy a cheaper house but after bills and stuff I’m going to have a really cramped life (doing it single on my own).

If anyone can think of any jobs that I have transferable skills for that would be really appreciated!
