Reply | When you realised there was no meaning to life and no God

I consider myself an atheist but an atheist with an open mind. There are things going on that we don't know about.
I experienced a week back in the 90's when I knew things were going to happen in advance. Nothing major but things such as;
If I buy a scratch card I will win £20. I did.
The train to York I regularly travelled on had first class at the rear, second class at the front. Waiting on the platform the board stated this was the case, the announcement on the Tannoy confirmed the same but I knew that the train would arrive back to front so walked down to the other end of the platform. I was right.
Walking down Loftus Road on the Saturday afternoon I knew that Danny Shittu would score the first goal. I don't gamble but put a fiver on this and collected £45 after the game.
Difficult to explain but these feelings were so strong, I just knew. I haven’t experienced anything similar since.
Fast forward twenty years and a stranger approached my sister during a large works party and gave her a message from our deceased father that only we would have known.
I think after death we will find out 'what this is all about' otherwise what is the point? If I don't find out I will be pretty annoyed. |

Well done Jack. This will be huge for him like it has been for Emma Raducanu.
I read this on the BBC website last week.
Raducanu’s registered company, Harbour 6, posted profits of just under £10 million in 2023. Her prize money for that season was less than £200,000 due to lengthy injury lay-offs, so most of that income is likely to have come from her nine major sponsorship deals with British Airways, Vodafone, Tiffany, Dior, Porsche, Evian, Wilson, Nike and HSBC. |

The Odeon Park Royal located between Park Royal and Hanger Lane Tube Stations, now a Premier Inn. It was a 6, 7 minute walk from our house, the film was A Hard Days Night.
I remember my parents going to watch the early Bond films, my father was always suited and booted, my mother wore an evening dress, that was the norm back then. |

''We had the best availability record in the top four divisions in English Football last season.''
Wow! That is some statistic. You have to presume that is down to Ben Williams and why his rapid departure from the club is disappointing. |

This is disappointing news and as Brian says it could have a negative impact on the club.
Also surprising news as Clive recently said that Ben and Christian were close and that Ben was getting involved in other areas of the club.
You only have to look at our injury record last season and how players such as JCS and Willock just kept playing.
We have to hope that Ben is leaving the club on good terms, that he has passed his knowledge and experience on to those in his department and that the club continue with any working practices, procedures etc that Ben has implemented. |

Mr Frey is certainly deserving of his own thread.
A match winning battling performance.
Take note Goldstein and Bent who in their ten second Talksport match preview couldn't see anything other than a home win. [Post edited 30 Aug 22:51]

That my friend is football. Nobody could anticipate that result at half time.
Marti rearranged his troops and the boys got stuck in. Substitutions that worked.
Excellent second half from everyone, Nardi saves through to the rock, Mr Frey up top.
Come on Clive, Mr Frey deserves at least a 10.
Marti as humble as ever in his post match interview, class. |

Yes I have picked up on this as well, often wants too much time on the ball, easily pushed aside, weak in the block.
If we take him off it's Varane or EDB, possibly Andersen.
Two hours left to get Hayden in, if he is still available, even if it's until January to give Madsen and Varane time to adjust.
I hope the club has a 'Behind the Doors' fixture lined up during the International Break to give them another game. |

Around thirty years ago walking down Bloemfontein Road after a game there was a guy in front of me wearing a Los Angeles Raders jacket.
Not a spelling or grammar error but fast forward fifteen years and riding a train in Tunis the guy standing next to me was looking resplendent in his Prick Sports jacket. |

The European teams should all be awarded away fixtures unless their opponents make more cash from an away fixturee. [Post edited 28 Aug 22:56]
