MrK

Fucking hated Bangkok though. What a shithole.

Couldn't agree more. Place is a stinking, seedy, sweaty hellhole. Full of expat paedos and weirdos.

The British Isles look very warm for this time of year.

Lost on many, but not I Sir.

ADR probably said it to get them off her back. Now that he's said that WWE have threatened to get rid of her if she doesn't dump him, they can't very well get rid of her regardless now. A bit like when Darren Young came out. Has probably got her a push in the short term.

Does he draw that goatee on every morning?

Dear Deidre,

 

I ended up sleeping with my best female friend yesterday completely out of the blue. It's been a totally (and comfortably) platonic relationship for the best part of a decade, so it was slightly surprising. We've been in contact today and all is fine, but has anyone else ever had a 'friends with benefits' thing that hasn't irrevocably fucked up the relationship? I really wouldn't want this to.

Sounds like it's already fucked up. She's clearly more keen than you for something more than a quick shag. If you turn her down next time she wants sex then it will be too awkward to go back to what it was. My advice is to make hay while the sun shines and get as much sex as you can before it all goes tits up. Best make your peace with the knowledge that the friendship is never going back to what it was.

That would mean he wore 3 layers over his arse and balls. The amount of sweat in his gooch alone must have had him dangerously dehydrated during matches.

 

 

I am bisexual and dated guys for TEN YEARS... then got with a girl that I knew since we were in our teens. How weird is that!?

I'm similar to be fair. 4 long term relationships with girls. Followed by one with a guy.

 

Now I'm alone . . .

If you don't mind me asking, did you always consider yourself bisexual or did it come as a surprise?

Where's his fucking nuts???

"Alcoholic" is such a grey term. I was a massive drinker through university and my early 20's due to a combination of being a big bloke and being one of those lucky fuckers that didn't ever get hangovers. However, hangovers started in my late 20's alongside settling down and having a kid so it made sense to reign it in.

I also started a very senior position with a company last year and therefor cannot even chance drinking Sunday - Friday as the drink drive laws in Scotland are such that you can no longer "have a couple" at night and be legal the next morning (I'm in the car by the back of 7am).

So my family and work are my safety net, which is fantastic. However, it means when my partner and child go away for the weekend I start to get nervously excited in advance as I know what's coming. I'll leave work at around 2pm on the Friday and buy a shitload of wine, I'll then look at getting some coke and pretty much stay up drinking until about 3am Sunday morning before collapsing into bed. I then get up the next day, shower, clean the house and am settled on the couch with a newspaper and big smile on my face for when the family get home at 7pm, none the wiser.

Am I an alcoholic, I'm not sure? I guess by having "organised, pre determined" binges, I'm able to convince myself that I'm in control.

I've read many times on here the Superfly story of supposedly murdering his girlfriend then pretending (on Vince's advice) to not speak any English so as to avoid police questioning. Has anyone got the real story on this? Outwith Police Chief Wiggum, I can't imagine the police ever deciding the boyfriend of a murdered woman wasn't worth speaking to because they thought he was some jungle savage who didn't speak a word of English??

Don't knock it til you've tried it fella.

The size of Andre's junk. Must have looked like a Swiss Roll.

I really hate talking about this but I need other peoples' perspectives on the situation. At the end of October my girlfriend came down with a bout of depression (eventually diagnosed as a dissociative disorder) and went to live back at her parents' in Essex. She wouldn't talk, cried a lot, panicked easily over small insignificant things, and generally became something of a recluse. She's had small bouts of this in the past which have only lasted a week or two, so I didn't think too much of it. 2 and a half months later and she's still there.

 

She's improved a fair bit since then, she's talking normally again and seems to be interacting with her family and friends up there, but she is flat-out refusing to come down and visit, saying that she doesn't feel comfortable being on a train or a bus on her own for an extended period of time. This would be understandable in a way, but we're going to Dublin on Saturday for the weekend (which I booked before she got depressed) and she's choosing to catch the train to Bristol airport on Saturday morning before the flight instead of Friday evening and spending the night at my place. She's citing the trains being much cheaper on Saturday morning for this, but I've checked and there's only £10 difference which, when you consider coming down Saturday morning risks missing the flight, doesn't seem like a lot to me. This is also without mentioning the fact you can get the Megabus for as low as a fiver.

 

We haven't exchanged Christmas presents yet because we haven't seen each other since before then, but I know she's got me something which takes place in Cardiff on Wednesday (the day after we get back from Dublin), but she's actually going through the fuss of either changing the date or seeing if anybody else can take her place in whatever the activity is because she doesn't want to be left alone in my house when I'm in work on Wednesday. My argument is that she needs to push herself to try and get better otherwise she's not going to improve.

 

I'm trying to approach the situation as delicate as I can because I know she can't help the way she feels, and I've never suffered with depression so I don't really know what it's like, but I can't help but feel there's more to the situation she's not telling me. I'd understand if she was completely shut in her house and not venturing outdoors, but in the past month she's been up to Crewe to watch a panto with some family members, into London with her friend to watch a play, and the other day she sent me a video of a Christmas party she was at in which she was in good spirits and dancing. It doesn't seem like she's struggling that much, certainly not so much that she has to avoid coming down to visit, but obviously I don't know what's going through her head so it's not fair of me to make that judgement.

 

Her mother isn't helping either. I've never known somebody to treat their 26 year-old child so....childishly. I know it's motherly instincts to protect your child and everything, but she genuinely treats her like a teenager to the point it can't be helpful. Plus, whenever I go up to visit and I do something that her mother doesn't agree with, something very small and insignificant like leaving to go home an hour earlier than she would like, she treats me like shit in the most passive-aggressive way you can imagine. Sometimes it's only small things, like giving me the cold shoulder or responding to my farewell with a simple "Ok bye" and then leaving the room. It's difficult to explain really.

 

I really just needed to get all this off my chest as it doesn't look like it's about to improve anytime soon, and I'm constantly saying things to her that probably come across as harsh, but I'm genuinely trying to be helpful. I don't suppose I really have much of a question except what are your thoughts on this? It'd be nice to hear other peoples' opinions.

Have you been to see her since she moved back in with her parents? And if so how was she? Adding up everything you've said, it sounds more like a relationship issue than a depression issue.

Who's that directly above Earthquake?

Looks like it's the "Hall of Fame" for him then.

The merit of someone entering the HoF is a pointless discussion that happens every year. However, is Tatanka any better or deserving than Koko B. Ware, who everyone seems to use as the measuring stick for entrance??

This is getting to be annual, however, another Engagement is close to biting the dust as she wants space..

 

Basically relly was great and then totalled, by psychotic ex fiancee who stalked me and new gf/fiancee (since learned ex's next 3 bfs, have all ended the same way, accused of stalking, and wound up to the point one let her tires down. That's closure and a half, to know wasnt thee who was mad!) and a series of shit circumstances including unemployment illness and probable miscarraiges.

 

Anyhoo, bascally done all that I can, including being there, supporting her in whats he does, giving space when she wants it, not pushing and so forth. looked after kids, cleaned her shit tip of a house twice, bed bugs used nappies, cockroaches, fucking mouldy food and mess everywhere, bought her a freezer when she packed up and generally been the model boyfriend. Yup, have my own shit, yup worked on it, been open and transparent about it and taken a step back and said why when it's happened ( PTSD flashbacks are cunts).

 

However, i'm in the wrong, despite doing nothing of the sort, respecting boundaries, wanting consideration ( cancelling long planned romantic day out to fuck off to Manchester, yet not even bothering to a) ask or b) tell me til the day and wondering why I'm upset despite it being set in stone for weeks). Cancelling a dinner date, because she couldnt find the restaurant, despite working over the road from it and not coming to mine for months.

 

Basically, she's depressed, at a cross roads, she has no clue what she wants to do, tried supporting her through various things, but ultimately im the arsehole. and Iam easiest to cut out because it's the only thing in her life she has control over.

 

Get all of that plus the stresses and strains she is under, benefits cut, skint, no time for her etc. however is deaf ears, and she courts two blokes, who make her blush and so on, hide her phone and then straight to guilt trip city.

 

Despite all of that, and being pulled on it as it's utterly inappropriate, . She has has said she needs 'space'

 

In short I should walk away from the car wreck? If some one says they want a break then fb's you constantly, then claims I'm too much, because I deigned respond and then says will block you because it's for the 'best' but then doesnt bother, then yeah it's time to run.

 

I think she's looking for an out, in terms of me blowing up, being jealous etc, a reason to end it. unfortunately she has none, so she can justifiably cheat because ive been a cunt. Should be a laugh seeing what excuse happens when it does come out anyway.

 

Relationships, so much hard work,

There's so many reasons for my answer after reading your post but I'll pick the easiest. If your fiancé is trying to date other men, then I think you should maybe throw in the towel.

In fairness, the answers to the vast majority of questions in this thread could be found by searching on Google. It's definitely more fun asking it in here though as you often get extra information in the answer.

 

Almost all higher ups are blaggers out of their depth.

It's common in a lot of places, its called the Peter principal

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle

Strangely enough, I actually spoke about the Peter principal in the interview. Stating that appointments at such an early stage in the company were vitally important and we need to avoid using the Peter principal when screening candidates and instead forming a model of what we feel each role needs and finding the right people who fit in with our ethos and template.

How big is the company?

It would effect my advice based on past experience.

£2m turnover. 80% of which is currently export. 20 staff. Looking to grow that to 40 staff by April next year.

So about 6 weeks ago I applied for a senior management level role with a company. The role being CEO. I pretty much just applied because it would be my dream job in 15 years and I wanted experience of the hiring process.

I may have slightly embellished my CV and over egged myself in the first couple of meetings with the company. I didn't see the big deal at the time as I never expected it to go very far. 2 weeks ago I was invited to meet with the Managing Director, Sales Director and Operations Director for what I thought was for them to decide if I should make it through to final stage. After 2 hours, they said that they felt I was head and shoulders above the other people in the frame and they would like to offer me the job there and then. I sat in stunned silence and nodded my acceptance.

I've now signed the contract, more than doubling my salary and have a strategy meeting with the board next week to implement the first 6 months of market growth before officially starting my position the following week. The realisation of just how far out of my depth I am has now set in and I am tempted to come clean. However, I've handed in my notice with my current employer so I would have nothing to fall back on.

I'm looking for advice, should I come clean or try and blag the first 6 months as much as possible and hope that I grow into the role as I go along?? I feel like Leonardo Di Caprio in Catch Me If You Can!!

If a friend of mine is cheating, then I would basically not be friends with that person. Fair enough if it was some night out and things got a bit dicey on a dancefloor or something, but if one of my friends was to actually be regularly cheating on their significant other than that is no friend of mine.

 

Question for the thread...what about when the tables are turned? Your mate is fucking a bird in a relationship but your mate is single (and knows all about the status of the lady)?

I've got a mate that sleeps with girls in relationships all the time. Doesn't seem to bother him and it certainly doesn't bother me.

I guess it's all about opinions but I can't understand the thinking behind telling a woman that you do not know that her husband and father of her child is cheating on her?

I can understand it if it is your friend that is being cheated on and you're in possession of all the facts but when it is none of your business and there is a young child's life involved; the potential repercussions of the butterfly effect would mean I'd keep my nose well out of it.

Asked out a girl at work this week. Knew she was leaving so thought it was now or never. She said no as she "doesn't see me in that way". Turns out she hasn't been in a relationship for many years after being practically settled down at a young age and was either dumped or cheated on and therefore hurt. It's obvious she has trust issues with men. She's now gone, I'll likely never see her again (I have her number but I'm not being the first to initiate contact) and I'm devastated. This hurts a lot more than I thought it would but I'm not just sorry for myself, I'm sad she has these trust issues. I'll move on but fuck this week. A legend like Piper dying who I had the honour to meet last year was the icing on the cake.

Rather than having trust issues, is it not more likely that she just doesn't "see you in that way"? I think you should maybe take her at face value.

Because he didn't work there at the time.

I see. So was Marella seen as the number one red at the time, even at such a young age? I appreciate his father may have had some sway.

Referee Joey Marella had just turned 24 when he referee'd Hogan v Andre at Wrestlemania III.

That seems incredibly young for what was the biggest match by far in wrestling history at the time. Any reason why the much older and experienced Earl Hebner didn't do it?
