Out of all the active members on the forum a few of us are aware of cricket.  So @Fiekie247 @pinnit2015 and @cocopop3011 are you guys following  the T20 World Cup? Are you going to watch today's India vs Pakistan's match? 

What about the others? Any interest in cricket?

I have been a member of this forum  for over an year and this is the first time I am discussing cricket. Not normal with an Indian. Trust me.

I do not follow cricket anymore for the past 6 - 8 years, but I remember the 90's, South Africa was one of the best... There was always the battle between South Africa, India and Australia. I follow Rugby every now and then though.

I guess I do not have time to watch TV in general ( Feel I waste too much time), too busy with family, or I am just lately a person who prefer to do something productive/beneficial like reading a book - Robin Sharma or some motivational things or things on how to improve my life in general etc. If I watch Laptop or TV, I am on Youtube watching Jay Shetty Podcast, or Mel Robins etc.

I just finished a book call Boundaries by Henry Townsend ( Even though I hate reading) - But to learn more about this "People Pleasing" Personality that I have, which seriously impacted my life, as I make myself unhappy by always pleasing others or keeping the rest of the world happy.

I did some individual counseling during Covid for almost a year, Just to inspect myself and address childhood experiences/memories that was never addressed. When I  grew up( Many can relate to this) our feelings and emotions was suppressed as a child. Our parents were always right and you could never speak back at them, and you could never express how you felt or had the option to deal with you emotions - It was a matter of get over it! When I grew older and started drinking, I used this to basically numb my feelings/emotions instead of addressing it because it was all I knew how to deal with my feelings/pain/hurt - This not dealing with issues or address the root causes of problems had a negative impact on my marriage.

With Covid and being at home, I decided I want to work on myself and address these issues and become a better person in every aspect of my life to manage and deal with situations. Counseling help a lot and this whole process improved my marriage and I am on a whole new higher level of happiness and myself I am truly happy as well.

Sorry I know this is off topic from your question @Blackjax but this is what I was up to the past 12 - 16 months more or less, so I guess this shifted my mind, daily life, which is why I do not watch TV or follow sport anymore in general.

I am on the verge of breaking certain cycles growing up ( simply as I do not want my kids to go through what I went through) as well as generational curses, especially the unhealthy ones.

I hate cricket, aside from parts of England it's not really played that much in the other Home Counties. 3 teams playing; you, the other and the weather. Too slow for my liking, even the one day ones. Probably different abroad but here it's viewed as 'one for the toffs' - probably would like it if i was at a game shovelling Gin down my throat to the point where i was hurling abuse at the other spectators, but nah.....

Think Scotland had/have a cricket team but couldn't tell you where they played tbh

[pinnit2015]

I'm criticised for not being a people pleaser enough but rather at the other end of the spectrum: 'i can't believe you just went, 'this is ***** and walked out on the party'. Fake it? Nah, i'm too old now for that carry on, if i find myself in a situation i don't like, I just exit it. Folk get offended but that's on them. I don't really care tbh. 

Even at a Wedding on Saturday; I'm going to make you do this by 11pm. No. Come on. No. Sorry, but did i stutter? Bugger off and keep to that 2 meters while your're at it. In fact, make it 200 feet from me. Sling yer hook 'Arry.

and you see my problem was finding a balance in general .

I'm an extreme in both ways - Its either I do something or I dont do something at all.  but never find the middle ground, simply I feel its too much effort figuring it out and finding a way to strike the balance, if I can eliminate or prevent a situation Ill do it, but apparently not always the best of dealing with situations lol. People be accusing that you don't want to take the time and invest and think and assess situations etc...

Hello why is it bothering you? Now suddenly I offend people again! GEEZ

Unfortunately I have zero interest in cricket  

[pinnit2015]

It's great getting older, you just don't care anymore (well, about rubbish things)

Someone said to me 'how will that look!' and i just giggled and walked away - pretty much sums up my attitude to most things that i think aren't worth my time 

[cocopop3011]

Hey guys, I've been struggling with a mouth infection all weekend from some dental work last Thursday and would you believe my dentist still wouldn't give me antiobiotics over the phone! Won't see me until 3pm tomorrow. It's also half term here so today has been extremely hard. 

Oh by the way, these are the same dentists (please bear in mind that we can now go clubbing mask free with 50,000 people and no restrictions) but yes, the same dentists that have a massive sign on the door "DO NOT KNOCK" (incase your germs spread on the doors) so you have to stand outside until a receptionist sees you and then when your inside (one at a time may I add) they lock the door and ask you not to even touch the handle on the way out lol. The world has gone mad! 

But anyway, in pain and feeling sorry for myself tonight. If anyone has any violins to play, that wouldn be great.  

[pinnit2015]

To be fair to the dentists, they've been screwed over re Covid: GP practices all received full payments, despite doing nothing (GP's now, or a large section of them, are useless), Dentists not so much. They also gave away (or told to) their PPE at the start to the NHS and then had to go begging for it back and loads of other things that meant they've been treated as second class in the NHS family

But, lets all clap (groan) for them all. Give me strength. 

I've had to go private re my dental treatment, no other option - which annoys me when i hear about these folk banging on about their 20 quid they're not getting each week. Poor me, poor me, pour me another yin. 

Feel the spirit of Thatcher course through me in these dark socialist-Tory times.

Hahah, yes I did feel sorry for the dental industry but honestly, right now I do not. Been on the phone again this morning but still refusing to give me anything until my appointment later. 

And yes, the £20 weekly payments thing - reading people are going to strugle to feed their families now - but how did they feed them before Covid then? I know times are tough and I'm actually glad I didn;t get the extra payments to be honest but it they all knew it was only ever temporary anyway. We did have school meals through the lockdown but they were a waste of time to be honest.

Hey Guys!

I will be home on Monday ready to close the Paid Reviews but if any of you have an issue, most of you have my private email and those who don't can use my PM.

Have a great weekend guys!

Trick or treat?

[Afi4wins]

I've just received notification from both Neteller and Skrill...no more restrictions on the money in my account...so I can now use it freely AGAIN for making deposits and whatnots!

Now that is the kind of improvements I'd like to see more often! 

 

 

[Afi4wins]

Halloween weekend and things are quiet and scary...

Even my 'Heavenly Ruler' is quiet...more like extremely...

She must be somewhere else...same with my Thai lady...

But then again, so is our favourite forum lady!

@cocopop3011 - Just as a note there is a issue with uploading screenshots to game reviews, just letting you know, I believe the AG team is aware of this.

@Afi4wins - Good news indead. Now we upload non-gambling funds and send it to a user - Wonder what about Mastercard.

There may be a catch bro...it states no restrictions when the money is transferred from one Skrill user to another Skrill user, but doesn't state if the money comes from elsewhere. I still cannot deposit funds from my local bank into my Skrill or Neteller account simply because it's prohibited, and I don't use any credit card either.

You're a Skrill/Neteller user, so maybe it's possible to transfer funds from your credit card into your Skrill/Neteller account and get the no-restrictions benefit.

It should be for every Skrill/Neteller user...it cannot be for selected users only...that wouldn't be logical, nor make sense!

@Fiekie247Is the issue sorted now? I wasn't aware.

I haven't made many deposits this year and I am True Skriller. They are now adding 1.45% fee for money transfer. Are you guys also getting that.
