    Hello everyone. Hope you're all well.

    Please excuse the dreadful title, we've had a lot of rain lately, I mean A LOT. Many are flooded at the moment, just seemed appropriate for the time of writing..

    I found out about EC with a simple google search, in desperate times I've literally googled how I'm feeling and the first several posts were linked to here and I liked what I saw. As a result, I think I've come across EC at a good time. I'm at the stage where I've completed accepted my position as gay but I have not come out and I'm very much terrified at the idea of it, despite my desire to do so. :help:
    I will spare the details of how/why/when etc. for another time, after all, this is only an introduction of course and it's already fast approaching 130-odd words.

    That being said, I hope I can give something back to the forum too. Although I don't have many friends in real life, I have many online through my online games that I play, which is a big interest of mine and I hope to contribute in that category of the forum at some point too.

    I am 19, and I did 'alright' at school, I was planning on taking a break before Uni, which led onto working in the meantime temporarily. I eventually got offered the job permanently which I accepted, so the future education plans are on hold for a while now as I'm pretty happy with it. For your interest, it's a media-related job.

    My other interest is football, until this season I supported Manchester United fanatically. This season I'm a United fan in hiding, as those interested will appreciate. I can't say I look forward to meeting any Liverpool or City fans on here at this very moment, if there is any! :eek:

    I very much admire the tight-nit community set-up here, and I hope to be a part of that. I am a very shy but didn't feel nervous about signing up here, I had been looking for the right place and I hope this is it.


    To spare boring you all to death, I'll end here. But I look forward to hearing/posting your thoughts over various things!

    Cheers,
    DB84.

    Hello everyone again.

    It's really warming to receive such a kind welcome.

    Hi there Joshiee, yes I know Burton very well, my second team is the mighty Daggers and my dad is a season ticket holder to another league 2 team which is also my local team!

    Good season so far for you!

    As for your shoes, perfect excuse to buy new ones :wink:


    20 times!! :wink: Well done on top 4 this season though!

    Hey there!

    I am a PC gamer. I do play a couple of PS3 games.

    I mainly play League of Legends on PC.


    Yes and more than satisfied!

    Obviously going one-up would have hoped to win, but the red card was a problem which really Burnett (our manager) should of addressed because I heard Connors had been having a hard time even on a yellow. So in which case, a draw was fine!

    Looks like you will get play-offs this year, best of luck with that!
