Think that's a better result for us. Switzerland tidier style of play would be harder for England to break down. Colombia > Sweden > Russia > Belgium > it's coming home!

Had a 5-a-side tournament yesterday, lots of different businesses in Nottingham playing against each other. We had enough players for two teams with subs. There wasn't much organisation, and everytime we asked what the teams were nobody messaged (we have a group chat at work). Even when we get to the tournament, still nobody is answering when we ask what the teams are. But literally two minutes before we're due to kick off the chairman (we have a football society and get some funding from the company, and he's the one that organises matches and stuff) tells us what the teams are. He hasn't tried to balance the teams out at all, he's clearly gone for an A team and a B team, put himself on the A team with all the best players. Well I didn't make the cut and am on the B team. I ordinarily wouldn't mind so much as we still have some good players, me and three others. But the other three players on the team are awful. I'm not talking in terms of skill (I'm one of the least skillful), in terms of effort. They will just stand in one place on the pitch, not mark players, watch players run past them and just walk around rather than chasing the ball or other players down. The first match I took an unofficial captain role and played our four best players with one of the lazy players in net. We played well and won 2 nil (it was 8 minutes per match). It would have been a dick move to only play that team every game so we rotated subs. And we didn't win a single match after that. We would rotate subs halfway through the game which in hindsight I think was a bad move as it meant we would always have a some lazy players on the pitch. In all the time I was on the pitch we only conceded one goal, but would still lose the game as when I subbed off we'd concede three. We didn't make it through the group stages, but the A team did. It was already about 9:15pm by this point, so I started to go home. And then the A team shout towards me, "You're not gonna stay and cheer us on? I can't believe it". So after they shafted us when they picked the team they still expect me to stay and watch them play. I don't know if all this sounds really petty and stuck up from an outsider perspective but it really pissed me off.

Had a fiver on Morocco at 12/1. ,ðŸ˜

They need to start issuing more cards for simulation. It's getting ridiculous.

Congrats, @Cube, happy for you! @BowserBasher good luck. Make sure you have lots of potential activities in mind. Worst thing is to meet up and be like, "What do you want to do?" "I dunno, what do you wanna do?", "I dunno". If you're like me then the nerves might get the better of you and your brain will stop working.

Bruise and contusion are the same thing, contusion is just the medical term while bruise is the layman. Although contusion tends to sound more severe so use that if you want the most sympathy. How far did you fall? Is it really worth playing if you're gonna risk injuring yourself further? Or are you the star player and they couldn't possibly compete without you?

Why the eyebrows as well?

Probably not too late to change. I don't think tortoises understand or respond to their names anyway, so you can call him whatever you want.

I've thought about this an not sure I'd be OK with using donor sperm. Wouldn't really be OK with the inequality in parentage, and would definitely worry that it would be more theirs than mine. Whereas with adoption it's something you've done together, and you have the beauty of bringing an "unwanted" child into a happy home. Definitely not OK for you wife to tell you to basically see a therapist and just get over it. You have more than valid concerns about it and she can't just dictate terms like that.

How are the legs attached? Are the permanently attached or screwed in?

Wait you actually missed the last 10 minutes of My Scientology Movie?! I agree that the rest of the film was shit but the ending was some of the most amazing scenes I've ever watched.

If somebody opts out of organ donation, should they beautiful lower priority if they're on the organ donor list?

It wasn't just the unrealistic nature of it, more how it felt just a bit brushed over and written to plug a plot hole.

Never been a Star Trek fan before, but I enjoyed Discovery. Sonnqua Martin-Green played her really well. Agree with Iun that the Tyler arc felt a bit ridiculous. I reckon they're going to use his character as a bit of a magic wand in future.

What's wrong with that?

I thought it was good. Definitely not as good as people are saying but good. The good points have been mentioned so I'll focus on the bad. The fight scenes were pretty shit (particularly the last one). No excitement, no tension. Kinda felt like I was waiting for them to be over. Would have liked to have more backstory on killmonger, and more spotlight on the internal Wakandan debate of being isolated vs opening up. For me that's the main part of the story but focuses on a single line from Lupita, then Killmonger saying we need to help people, let's do it with war, Black Panther: not with war, I kill you now I just give away our technology like nobody in Wakanda will object.

Fitness, Weight Loss & Strength 2018
MoogleViper replied to Fierce_LiNk's topic in General Chit Chat
I'm currently on a weight loss mission. Doing [url=http://www.eatingwell.com/article/288643/14-day-clean-eating-meal-plan-1200-calories/]this diet[/url], but adding a bit to make it around 1600-1700 calories as 1200 is not healthy for me. Started on 89kg, now down to below 87kg. Next month gonna join the gym as well. -
Gotta second that. If you're happy to shop at the same supermarket you can get an annual pass so online delivery isn't that expensive. Probably cheaper than fuel costs. Especially if you factor in your time. Unless you like to shop at the discounters like Lidl/Aldi.

Obviously prefer a tv series but a book series is good.

What happened?

They didn't change the age of vote for men. Contrary to popular belief not all men could vote before 1918. You had to own property and other restrictions (basically only the wealthy could vote). The 1918 act saw that all men 21 and over could vote, and that women 30 and over could vote (but women were still subject to restrictions that men previously faced, such as owning property).

I'll look forward to it.
