Being surrounded by people but feeling as if you are all alone is one of the worst feelings have ever experienced. Not even bothered wrapping presents or anything feel like I've given up at the minute but stubbornness keeps me going  Hope things get better for you pal feel for you. Have the best Christmas you can lads. DM - Maybe you can get to one of the Sunderland games and just be about a few people. I'm sure in the pub beforehand you'll meet plenty of like minded folk who are happy to have a drink and discuss Niall Quinn, Kevin Phillips, Ian Poterfield etc. Ringer, hang in there and we'll see you in the new year.

DM just to say thanks for all the tune's you are listening to throughout the year and games that are on TV. This is a crap time of the year for so many, and you add more to this forum than many others and if you ever need some to talk to just drop me a pm

Came into work this morning for the last shift before Xmas to be told that while I was fast asleep, the shift we were taking over from were dealing with an unfortunate soul who jumped off the Bridge/overpass at the Port end of the tunnel. Its a horrible time of year for so many people

I lost my dad just before Christmas last year and my mum just a few weeks before Xmas the year before and this year it’s all really hitting me . I’m lucky that I had a great relationship with both I suppose but life can be a tricky road sometimes.
