    Depression

    Have you tried bupropion? If not, it may be worth looking into. It's an antidepressant which works via a different mechanism from the more commonly used antidepressants, and it has also been shown to be effective for reducing gambling cravings. It's prescribed much more often in the US under the brand name Wellbutrin. Here in the UK it's only very occasionally used off-license for depression and gambling addiction, but is easily accessible under the brand name Zyban as a smoking cessation aid (reducing smoking cravings).
  2. And the journos are grilling poor KDH about it
  3. Wasn't originally planning to play FPL this year, but have just now set up a FPL team to commence Operation Target Leicester, so I can at least retain some interest in the games
  4. Ccoper's reply to the same question was: We'll do what is needed to get the ball to an attacking player in a dangerous position, if that calls for 2 passes we'll do that, if it's not on and we need to move the players round, we might need to do 10 passes. So a bit more of an Enzo style answer. I do think he is more inclined towards possession football, he made a point of saying that he wasn't able to play how he wanted to at Forest, and hopes he can show his preferred way of playing in the PL here. He mentioned something about Enzo's box midfield but doing it with different personnel, but didn't elaborate as 'didn't want to give too much away'. He would like us to 'keep ball' when possible but understands that will be hard in PL due to opposition. But then said "the most important thing is to find a way to win the football game", which went down well. Basically any comment by either manager which could be perceived as opposite of Enzoball was well received He mentioned that he wasn't happy with some of the stuff he saw in friendlies, we should have scored more goals, but feels he almost prefers to see things go badly in preseason so he knows what needs correcting. Says attacking opportunities will be rare in the PL, we need to make the most of them when we get them, and we need to strengthen upfront. I assume he means striker, as he then went on about Vardy looking very sharp before unfortunately being injured. Vardy is 'almost out on the grass now' which I assume means a couple weeks away still. He also mentioned that he was given a tour of the stadium by Jim, and asked that it be pointed out to him where various groups sit and where noise comes from (obviously a reference to UFS). Basically he said loads of the right things, and it came across as honest, but I do think he pre-prepared some answers for what he felt we wanted to hear (e.g. mentioning Fatawu's dress sense several times). I'm still not fully convinced about the on-pitch tactical stuff but will wait for a few actual games before forming an opinion either way.
  5. Minute's applause for Shakey at start New women's manager very impressive Cooper was desperate to get this job, couldn't stand being out of work. His family remains in Wales Also desperate to ingratiate himself to the fans, he asked for the Q&A to be held and would have preferred open floor rather than preselected questions A few references to his Forest history being the elephant in the room without naming them Talked about not wanting to stifle Fatawu. I'm still not entirely clear what his tactical vision is A little bit about youth development, name dropped Alves/Nelson. Impression I got was that opportunities may be given to the kids, but much less in the PL than they would have been in the Championship Vardy very much a dressing room leader, lots of motivational talk in a long team meeting after open training session Stayed for pics with loads of fans afterwards
  6. I actually quite liked the two short bits about social issues (racism and LGBT in relation to football). Less so the bits about actual football / everything else. I also think everyone was expecting at least something about the Champions League or FA Cup win, rather than ending the show abruptly post 15/16.
  7. As they've added another post-ballot step of 'buying' tickets in the hall, we can actually count what the take up is. 9 rows of 50 seats on the diagram, last row grayed out as event capacity is stated to be 400 not 450. Current take up looks to be under 100..
  8. Dan Bates reads out the question and the name of the fan who asked the question. I don't think the questions are prescreened. It looked like Dan got a huge print out of all the submissions and he flicked through on the fly to ask whatever he thought was suitable.
  9. There is very little overlap between those who attend men's games and those who attend women's games. Most fans attend one or the other. In the last event with Enzo and Kirk, they alternated asking each a question. So for a total of 1 of the 2 hours Enzo was sat there awkwardly while Kirk talked about the women's team. The combination felt forced. Would be a better use of everyone's time to have the men's section immediately followed by the women's, just like in the upcoming open training session, so anyone who wanted to stay/join for the women's bit could do so.
  10. Also went on opening night. A couple of guys sat next to me left at the interval and didn't return.
  11. The new offer only gets junior doctor real terms pay back to 2020 levels, which is still 20% below 2008 levels. The new offer is also only 1% above what the Tories were offering. I suspect the deal will be accepted via a slim majority, but it could well still be rejected.
  12. Plenty available for members still
  13. We bought him a new mate, both of Okoli's parents are Nigerian
  14. White one looks very decent, would pass for a nice away kit. Is there even any difference between these training kits and the actual kit in terms of material? Yet it's £40 vs £70.
