    How Are We?

    It?s been a LONG time! A very long time! Was just thinking about this place and wondered if it was still going and how everyone is?!

    Glad to see the board is still going and hope everyone is still well!

    Scarily now, from the ****ager I was when I found this place I?m now a (nearly) functioning adult with a child!

    As for Albion on the pitch, weirdly I think I found this place when Mowbray was manager and now he?s back!

    Hope you?re all getting to games enjoying the football!

    Greetings, welcome back. Some of us are still here, a good deal older but not necessarily wiser, though! I’ve not been to the Hawthorns this season due to a number of reasons, not the least of which has been health. I must say, too, that the Premier League, Euro football and all the bullsh!t currently surrounding the game is gradually turning me off football. I hope to get to a game later this season, though.

    Greetings boinger buddy. What you doing with yourself and how did the exams go ?
    I think I remember you having a break from the board when revising became paramount !

    Hi Boinger 219.

    I remember you and your posts being well thought out for such a young person.

    Congrats on becoming a dad, hope they are a Baggie.

    Like you, I do not post on here these days but do view the site occasionally.

    I will be at the Hawthorns this coming Wednesday v Blackburn, with my good wife. Be warned all, this is our third visit and on both previous occasions we have lost 1 - 2.

    Sunderland and Leicester.

    Anyhow, best wishes and good luck for the future.

    Haven?t gone!

    Thanks for the congratulations, he?s nearly 3 and very energetic, I?m aiming to make him a baggie he?s got a full kit for his birthday hopefully he can grow up and enjoy Albion as a Premier League team!

    It?s been a few years Prando, I did university and completed that (somehow!) then ended up doing nothing that my degree was about in work!

    I was in SEND Education until recently, I got quite good at dealing with the more complex behaviors so fancied a change because I felt I was just fire fighting so I?ve recently moved into the care system and although it?s long, long shifts and days (and sometimes nights!) it?s much better for me and definitely the change I needed.

    Glad you?re all well!

    Here?s to a few more last minute winners! UTA!

    Hi Boinger,
    Don't think I was posting on here when you were but had been reading the forum without actually participating for some years so do recall you. Anyhow, congratulations on becoming a Dad and whilst the "terrible twos/ threes" can be occasionally wearing with the odd tantrum it's just them finding their feet and learning how to express themselves and over all it is a brilliant age as they discover the world. Just had our youngest grandchild over (who is this age) for his first sleep over without mum or dad and he was a joy to have. House (whilst tidier &#128513 seems really quiet now without him!

    With our youngest on the spectrum and having had to negotiate the SEND/ educational system to fight to get support over several years, I can certainly understand your frustration working within it so glad you have found something more suitable.
