We all have our level of fanaticism about Everton, what have you not done because of Everton?

Me? Turned down university offers from Sheffield Swansea and Nottingham so I could still go the game - went to Hope University instead!
Ended a relationship there as girl was from South Wales and wanted to move back there after we had finished our courses- deal breaker.
Getting a teaching job in Dubai in the 90's but then turning it down as it dawned on me never visiting the Old Lady was imminent. The crap football of that decade too! Would have been retired by now if I had gone - mate of mine went made a fortune and has managed to accumulate 9 properties to let over here and is retiring in the summer. 45!!
Missed two weddings and a christening in the family
 


Been happy for a team winning anything. Never seen us win a thing, was 5 weeks old when my dad took me to see us with the fa cup.

Some of us went to uni in Newcastle and still kept our season ticket ;)

Missed a family wedding because it was Big Dunc's last match. Still, I made the reception.
 
Supporting Liverpool probably.

My old man took me to Goodison before my Uncle took me to Anfield. As a 6 year old lad in 1971, both were awesome, but the Anfield trip didnt feel right. But I had something to compare it with.

Saved a fortune.

Can't do it anymore like but back when i lived in England i would always back us to win EVERY single weekend for as long as i could remember.

Christ i even lost a tenner at Old Trafford years back when we were thrashed 5-1. On the high of us opening the scoring through Jeffers, a manc closest to me shouted over ' I bet you a fiver we win by two '... So with me buzzing i replied ' make that a tenner mate '. Gave it to him at half time.
 
Not to mention the numerous things i've broken around the house after a result.

Ceiling fan, remote controls, glass ornaments, a vase, picture frame, cigar humidor. I even ruined the screen of my projection tv many years ago when i threw a glass of coke at it. The liquid managed to get behind the actual screen causing a shadow effect.
