IRL issues, suggestions?

American football never really took off in the rest of the world.
football (what you & ozzies call soccer) seems to be popular pretty much everywhere.

...football (soccer) was football before American football was invented.

o weird.
Soccer isn't popular in America.

if you think about it, how often do you see your team playing a foreign one?

football (soccer)... I suspect it's the most popular sport in the world.
the world cup really is a global event.

also, I hate bloody football

I didn't know we had a team.. Are you sure?

your 'merican football team. whatever one you follow.

actually, you do enter the football (soccer) world cup. not won yet though.

I thought that the Cowboys didn't play foreign teams because the rest of the world is physically inferior to Americans.

seeing as you're, what, 99.9% populated from the rest of the world... how would that work? roids in mcfries?

:drinker: in place of a high five mate!

Are you and your sisters also helping your mum out since you also live there?

I don't think you can say anything if you aren't.

How do your sisters feel about it? Do they feel the same as you?

It's kinda sad that a grown man is living off his aunty, I can see why his step father threw him out. If he isn't going to find a job to support his 'dream' and help out your mum then I think he needs to move out. He's in his 40s!

You say he has a child? How is he providing for him/her with no money?

My oldest sister does help, pays her 'rent' for staying in one of the rooms at her age, my 2nd oldest sister stays 40km away in a flat that my dad has provided for her for her studies.. Myself, I try stay independent, not asking but taking what I am offered rather.. I plan to start a business after my studies soon after my qualification, whereby then I'll be moving out..

His child, I don't think he's seen him more than 3 times since he's been back.. He does not provide for the child in any sort of way, the child's mother does that all.. The boy is now 14 if I'm not mistaken.. Not to mention, he was named after his dad's favourite football team.. 'Aston' for Aston Villa..

LOL so wait, you don't pay rent either and you're complaining about this guy? So you "take what you're offered" from a woman who you say has a psychological issue with saying "no"? I am confused.

No doubt this guy is a loser, but really?

If you have a fear that your mother has some kind of mental incapability then you can call your local social services and have a social worker assess the situation.

THIS. If your mother is truly such a pushover then she is mentally deficient (has she ever had a head injury or a long-term illness?Sometimes in these cases mental 'slowness' doesn't show up until much later) and needs Adult Protective Services. If it is not a case of her being mentally deficient, then you need to understand that she is a grown woman who is choosing this. Perhaps it fulfills a deep emotional need she as or whatever. Her life, her choice.
