MARATHON COMPLETED 🫡
Today I completed something that 5 months ago I would never of thought possible. 42.2km (26.2 miles), my first ever marathon completed and have raised £23,800 pounds for mind charity. Did I cry, yeah about 40 times but to run with over 100 people with many inspirations today was incredibly surreal and helped massively to overcome the challenge.
Thank you to everyone who came down today and helped spread awareness for mental health and to @hardestgeezer for changing my life!!! MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS
A day in the life of an English man.
Picture this, you’re in london, it costs more than you earn to live here, you slowly accumulate debt, you cant afford a holiday so you just use drugs to escape.
The weathers shit & the people that live here hate each other with a passion but you cant afford to leave.
You wake up one morning to you find out your tax is going up after ulez, the cost of living crisis, energy prices & interest rates have eat the last bit of spending money that was left from your monthly wage.
While you’re sat on the toilet reading tweets from the metropolitan police about online trolls a swat team smashes through the bathroom window, past you on the shitter & arrests your 11 year old son for shouting at a police officer.
Your sister rings you (she recently got fired from her job as a doctor for refusing to ask biological men if they are pregnant) & tells you grandma just froze to death because Keir Starmer gave her winter allowance to country on the other side of the planet that’s wealthy then us to help them with climate change.
It all gets a bit much so you go for a pint and try to relax by smoking a cigarette in the beer garden & find out its illegal & get barred.
So you decide to go for a walk to clear your mind & get violently stabbed to death.
The Guardian then plasters your face all over the news for randomly jumping on a perfectly good knife 54 times that was held by a choir boy.
Your sister tweets about it & gets nicked.
Your son comes out of prison & protests about it, but this time he shouts at a police horse, gets nicked but the prisons are too full, so they let out Ian Huntley to put him in back in.
Mad thing is, that don’t even sound far fetched now does it, its now all a perfectly believable turn of events 😂

Amount of people saying “Stay & fight”, like this is some war movie. You cant fight. You cant even protest without being called racist.
& Fight who? How? The whole country is fucked, the water companies robbed us & dumped shit in the water, you can’t swim anywhere you’ll get ill & die. The country is literally a shit hole.
The councils are bankrupt & cant even fix a pot hole & charge you council tax for the privilege of doing fuck all while robbing you.
Moneys taxed, cars taxed, petrols taxed, booze, food EVERYTHING is taxed, then if you manage to save enough money after its been taxed to buy a house you get taxed on that, then if you die and pass it to your kids that gets taxed. They literally want everything from the working man while they hide their money. Its a con, we are being conned.
& We are about to get taxed even more.
NHS is fucked. Cost of living fucked. Interest rates are fucked, & we got years of it getting worse before it gets better.
Londons a hell hole & unsafe after dark. I hate it.
The men think they are women, kids are encouraged to think about their sexuality & gender.
Our soldiers are getting stabbed.
Our police are pussies & the ones that aint get fired.
& that aint even getting started on illegal immigration, thats getting worse.
If my country ever needed me to actually fight id be there, 100%, but i ain’t gambling the lifes of my three daughters in the mean time, & even if they did survive growing up here for what? To live in a shit hole full of fucking wierdo’s. No thanks.
Where would i go? Somewhere with a backbone, a bit of sun & with less risk of your kids getting murderd, like Australia, Russia or fucking North Korea.
I whole heartedly encourage anyone with young kids that have the ability to leave to do so. Todays events in Southport have rocked me to the core, im sat here looking at my daughters feeling sad.
You can still work on trying to get your voice heard while your kids are safe.
I want my kids to live not survive.

My biggest hero and 15 y/o son Albin has passed away after fighting bone cancer for 3 years.
I would accept living anywhere under any conditions for the rest of my life if I could be there with you, but I recon god thought heaven needed reinforcement.
During the 100s and further 100s of nights we spent together at hospitals the last years we have played PC games, watched TV series, documentaries and what not — but more than anything else we watched football since Albin was a livid MUFC fan.
Albin was a teenager but not really, he always wanted to please. When he got bad news, he turned to everyone around him and said ‘but it’s okey’. But when watching Football he could be himself — furious, upset, nervous, bitter, content, happy, euphoric. And MUFC was always there, regardless of time of day we could find content to watch. Thanks all content creators of the #MUFC_FAMILY.
Albin had to give up playing football back in 2020. Besides being a footballer, what intrigued him the most was probably YT and social media. He wanted to try to work but didn’t want to create content. I had started to post at the RedCafe and had quite a lot to say about the takeover, so we agreed that I would create content and he would be the producer, hence SwedishRumble was born. Albin always kept track of the statistics, and learned and implemented strategies for building up a following. After the summer we dipped our toes into the YT space, got the software needed, and spent countless hours on it together. Albin was always in so much pain. But I don’t remember him being in pain during these times. Instead, I remember him starting to drink coffee so that he could stay awake despite the pain killers.
A big big thanks to everyone! And thank you Albin, for the 15 years we got together.

Although we lost to a very good @ShevingtonShark side, today’s performance was full of commitment and determination.
A huge improvement on last week’s display, especially those lads on debut and from our U18s.
