Obviously I don't know what your sick pay situation is but that sounds like a good plan. If you are getting full pay, stay off as long as you can. It is their fault you are ill, they have not supported you so why extend goodwill to them.

I take it that's a no for Benitez then.
Deliberately avoiding ANY mention of football on this forum Barnfred m8. No offence just don't think I can mention anything football related on the " mental health forum " because I need to be as supportive as possible to the good folk on here when some really struggle and the vast majority are admirably very supportive of one another - including me. Hope that's ok buddy.
Just to clarify many on this forum are aware I'm a Toon fan however, I don't wish to appear pompous but I've pointedly made sure I avoid football chat. As I've explained above there's a bunch of kind like minded folk on here who give the topic of mental health the gravity it deserves. Do I love football, yes, do I love my Club, massive yes, but this will be the last time I ever mention the topic of football. So it's a anticipatory thanks for taking that on board. Cheers folks.

No worries mate. Just trying to add a lighthearted moment to the thread. We all need to smile from time to time and I find it certainly helps me cope with my own issues. I do always try and be sensitive to peoples posting though and hope my joking does not come across as disrespectful in any way.

Got in a weird situation tonight, watched some guy sexually assault my friend so he started on me and i
got kicked out for putting my key on his neck.
Obv I shouldn't have done that but they now want a statement and stuff. I tend to be fairly good with dealing as this but my friend is so upset I'm find it hard to think about it logically and feeling like I could be [Poor language removed] over

100% fine. No problems at all. Take care bud
Absolute no problem at all and I totally get people who try to lighten the mood Earwig. If I didn't laugh and see humour in things whenever I can and when appropriate I'd go bonkers. I certainly don't want to come across as this morbid shallow soul interested only in people when they are feeling their worst. Once again I promise everything is fine Earwig. Take care.
Barnfred " we all need to smile from time to time........" This m8. Your also right about the positive aspects of humour and how beneficial it is to our mental health. It is a truism though that humour is very much subjective. For example I'm a sucker for one liners, such as Tim Vine. Yes, his gags are " corny " and pun laden but to me it's because they are cheesy, to me they hit the mark as far as I'm concerned. I laugh at myself - a lot - but I just can't laugh at the " modern " comics, alternative comedy. Maybe it's just me. I also absolutely love Fraser. Two stuck up brothers, both psychiatrists who are so pompous and stuck up their behinds whilst their dad, down to earth and an ex street cop brings them down to earth. Other favourites of mine are visual " oldy " comics like Laurel and Hardy. I can lose myself in my Laurel and Hardy collection. My boys call me a " stupid old git " but if it makes me laugh, and I came in from work the other day, they with there, with their mates sat with a few beers watching my collection. There old man mustn't be so daft after all.
What an awful situation. Good for you for standing up for your friend. My only advice is just say what happened. Stick to the facts as you saw the situation unfold. If you think a bit of remorse might help say it "I know I shouldn't have done it but my friend had been sexually assaulted and was upset." Are you a witness or is the statement because of what you did? You won't mess it up. Good luck.

They just called me up actually and said they can see what happened on CCTV and won't take it any further. They had a few complaints that night so are looking for the same group.
Not spoken to my friend yet today, I'll give it a bit and see how she is.
Christmas time eh
That's good news. Pleased to hear it. Hope your friend is OK. What an awful experience for her.

Love abit of laurel and hardy, my favourite gotta be Abbot and Costello though- folded over everytime I watch them. Fawlty Towers and some mothers do have 'em too brilliant - can't beat abit of innocent stupidity.

Well done to you mate, i hope it doesn't go any further. Christmas time brings out the dregs of society, I actually dread it everyyear my youngest is severely autistic and has his routines thrown in the air with all the changes Christmas brings with all decorations and people everywhere. Twice this week already I've near came to blows out shopping with assholes who laugh and mock to his face, as if he's a dog or doll with no feelings, emotions or empathy to their actions. . I'll leave it there or it'll start me off again , rant for another day. Fair play to you though buddy for defending your friend. Hope everythings working out with your folks too. ?
