Sorry Nix and others but my eldest daughter needs willing male participants to complete a survey on men's attitudes to mental health.
Some of you may remember me posting over the years about my eldest girls severe mental health illness, which at age 26 she is still dealing with and is awaiting treatment for an eating disorder and extreme OCD.
However, the good news is that she has a life plan now and is in her final year of a Psychology degree via the Open University.
Due to her inadvertently already being an expert in mental health conditions her final module is focusing on the attitude of British men in the 2020s towards seeking help for their mental health - and whether it is more likely that they will seek help if they come in to contact with other men who have previously sort help.
For it to be a valid submission she needs a minimum of 150 qualifying responders and I told her I knew just the place where there were thousands of 18+ men whose mental health has been tested to the limits due to their football club!!!
I piloted the survey and it does ask some challenging questions on attitudes but I can assure you on her behalf (and the introduction to the survey confirms) that it is 100% anonymous and no personal data (including IP addresses) are tracked or stored etc.
On my daughter's behalf I would love as many of you to help and participate in this online survey which should take around 10-15min max to complete.
During the match tonight the commentator pipes up…..
‘The last time they won against a top flight team in the 4th round was way back in 1985, when they were managed by Billy Bremner and beat Queens Park Rangers’.
We were the gift that keeps on giving even back then.
I know I have been less than gracious about Finney as host of my fave Podcast of the last 10+ years but a good hour with Warbs reflecting on times past and clear that Mark keeps an eye on what Marti and the team are up to.
Finney reined it in 99% with the Chelsea/Brentford hatred bile that makes some recent stuff go off in unnecessary tangents, so a good listen.
Warbs thinks that between Marti and the squad we should stay up. Let’s hope so.
The FT whistle went and for 1min the glass of Merlot with the Pizza, the two Black Bush and the ‘I’m on holiday tomorrow so I will try that bottle of Black Barrel’ kicked in and I was raging.
But I was at LF on Saturday afternoon for the draw against the Canaries.
Tonight after 44 mins we were shite.
But that was the first defeat in a while and those ‘we will easily win this!’ never comes true.
In Ennistymon for a wedding Friday and gutted I am not at HQ for Sunderland game. Have rental car and happy to travel the county in search of a QPR friendly publican with a dodgy box
Woke up 2am on Sunday morning with a fully developed head and chest cold and 5:30am Monday morning still haven’t been able to get any sleep since
Had loads of negative Lat Flow tests in the past but after taking a test Sunday morning the second line appeared to confirm I had it after about 30 secs.
The thing that has kept me awake is not the feeling rough as I am not too bad but either my immune or my booster three weeks ago doesn’t like Omicron and has given me the worst prickly heat since I was in Crete when I was 18.
Just hope the Mrs and girls can swerve it before Christmas but I can’t see how they can even we me being banished to solitary confinement since 9am on Sunday..
Make sure you get some antihistamine in just in case this is a common side effect as I haven’t any until the shops open and someone gets out of bed for me 😂
Edit: turns out we had some antihistamine in the cupboard all the timeðŸ˜
