This would be the employers that stood by you despite your "issues" that can not be mentioned?
In my view they would have been perfectly within their rights to terminate your employment immediately on the grounds of gross misconduct.
Nice guy.


This.
Cheer up, RL is actually rather good

For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught , to say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels, The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!

Good thread. Ive had a think about it, and I find it hard to come up with anything really substantial. Even that amazing open-goal chance fluffed with that gorgeous girl looks a bit trivial 20 odd years later.

Of course this doesn't stop me speculating hgow things might've turned out quite differently.

But "regrets", no.

I wonder if that means Ive been a bit too risk averse and conservative (small 'c') in which case.....

Narh. It's been pretty good so far.

Mind you, when I say gorgeous I mean proper drop dead way out of my league stunning. And when I say open-goal, I mean only a brainless 19 year old idiot could've missed that on-a-plate chance. <_<

Sadly, some people can't move on to a brighter future because they are unable to release their tortured soul, forever living with their inner "demons". One person I know has been hospitalised due to her fear of such "demons" that "control" her mind! It's a prison without bars.
