Didn't one of the oligarchs on here support you with some money? That was your fucking IN to bringing up this place. I'd be drenched in milf pussy by now all lolling at my zany humour if you hadn't been so fucking selfish.
You can hear the nerves. Fair play.
Just going off the Twitter video, but it comes across more as being emotional about the cause than TV nerves.
And I get that it was quite a serious topic, but did you not squeeze a single TTH reference in?
Yeah if id have been on id have just got my phone out and played a weird YouTube video to the camera then asked piers if he fancied a game of chess. Poor show.
In all seriousness, well done mate. I thought you held it together well.
I don't think you sounded nervous, agree it's more emotional than anything. Credit to you for the interview.
Could have at least had some sort of TTH shirt on.
My job place have told people that they need to come in physically in order to benefit from the service (remotely just isn't on the cards, for no real reason that I can ascertain other than 'we need to offer the same service to everyone', which doesn't make sense to me). In the email I've been told to send out, it says 'but we will support you as best we can while you are at home'. Not sure what they mean by that - other than emailing them a few resources, which is what I do anyway when people don't turn up, we're actually offering shit all.
My worry is that if some people don't come in physically for long enough then the organisation may drop them out of the service altogether, which would be atrocious really.
If it were a job I didn't give a shit about I'd be fine with all this, but we're pissing about with people's lives. I'm finding it really stressful.
I think I do need to focus on my own responses to these things though. It's all I can control really, and beyond a certain point my own responses are fairly unhelpful if they're just causing me additional anxiety and stress and not doing much else. If I can't do anything, I can't do anything, and I guess I just need to sit with that. I'm finding it hard to detach from it. Focusing on my own responses is definitely the way to go though, rather than getting into a huff over it all and becoming outraged in my own head. No point in it.
I really enjoyed reading THE MIGHTY BLADES at the end of that. Add a football emoji or something so we can rest easy.
Well done Smiff, you came across well. Seems like genuine engagement on the comments in the twitter thread too, which is a rarity.
Thank you. I'm getting absolutely bombarded at the moment with media and even job offers. I'm overwhelmed I've got to be honest but it's a huge step in the right direction for us all.
My phone hasn't stopped since this morning. I'll be on LBC, Heart, Capital, Smooth, LBC News and Classic FM tomorrow already.
EDIT: And I still haven't loaded up FM!
plug us on at least one of them. shall i send you some stickers?

"I was really struggling in the third half of the lockdown".
'Mon Smiff.
Make it Smooth for the plug. We don't want any of the sorts of people who listen to Classic FM coming here.
Great work, btw.
He'll need it for all of his further TV interviews and job interviews over zoom.
Do the Mahow claw when saying goodbye.
REVEALED New Starter Posterboy is Sick Internet Troll
- STALKED elderly Irish nationalist leaving him afraid to leave the house
- WAGED 'embarrassing' hate campaign against multiple and deserved internet award-winner
- TRIED to cover his tracks by deleting old posts
Yeah let's not hype the board on telly.
Well I mean...rather new forum than the old one right.
TTH is our playground. We don't need new blood.
This is great stuff, Smiff. You and Sir Marcus leading the social services charge.
He'll have a Sunday morning cookery show at this rate.
I agree I don't know what the need for new members is in terms of pushing it on randoms given half the charm of the place is we have been typing inane drivel at each other for over a decade now.

I was talking to a IRL friend about Smiffy today and how awesome what he's doing is and worked out that next March I'll have been posting on here for 20 years.
How is Henn0rz doing, anyways?
I started in 2002. Jesus Christ.
I started out on cmgamer though and came across during the invasion
CMG didn't survive that. It was basically how this place is now, which is why the admins were up for trying something new (a merger). All the actually posters were happy in their stagnant little bubble though.
33-ish?
And your mother's maiden name?
What I'm hearing from a lot of you is that we need new blood. A merger seems unlikely but between a few hand-selected gash from that facebook group of people who have lost their senses due to COVID and a few of the struggling from Smiffy's entourage, we should be able to deliver.
Ive never answered a security question honestly in my life. It has caused me issues like when I told the bank that I put fake answers to my security question to protect myself from fraud and after a background check informed me that I would have to say that next time I called I would have to say that my childhood pet was called Your Mum.
He hasn't posted in about a year has he? Not that you're wrong, leopards and spots.
I've got a picture of me on the forum from 2005. I might upload it at some point.
I'll be on BBC at 9.30 if anyone is interested. I did the radio interviews yesterday too. Spoke about the first half of lockdown, then the second and now I'm in the third half. ;-) Plug!
Anyhow last night we had a live conference with Steve Rotherham and Andy Burnham, Liverpool and Manchester Mayor's.
Emotional and tough viewing.

This morning my colleague teamsed me with the following message:
"Do you think there is a lot of super suspension today? 5 people have booked leave."
Took me a good 20 minutes to work it out. It's Friday 13th, and by 'super suspension' she of course meant 'superstition'.
That's amazing A guy on my teams spelling is appalling but I don't know if he does it purely to irritate myself and others as he will often type in full caps for days
Baz has probably already PMed gay elvis with a fake paypal account.
If ever anything needed a "PM Bamster" response.
Wifi down today so fingers crossed it isn't fixed before this compulsory teams meeting with cameras I'm scheduled for.
