It was one of those days where nothing goes right. I think the ref thought he could get away with giving Reading all the decisions, get the crowd off his back and liverpool would still win but it was not the case. no doubt liverpool had their eye on the marsielle game, and i think man utd is coming up too soon?
arsenal seem to be on a blip now, a draw with the toon and now almost half time and 1-0 down to boro...

Itd be funny if he put the reserve team out, or he ran out with his goalie gloves on.
I guess that would be the ultimate insult - to field a team with no goalie. "I'd luv it" it someone did that.

its on at 9am here, which in reality is probably more like an 11am start so will be convenient to watch on the net.

I used to be neutral on this issue but I am starting to think more and more that I am against pre-nups. Not because they are unromantic but because I think it's actually the courts job to decide what someone gets in a divorce. I dont like the idea of people just being able to circumvent that system just cos they got a bit of paper signed. Things, people and circumstances change.
Example: 28 year old woman falls in love with man. Later it turns out he is rich, big inheritance etc though woman didnt know that. Before marriage, guy insists on pre-nup. she signs it cos shes in love and doesnt expect to split up etc. 12 years later he is cheating on her and treating her bad so she wants a divorce. however, she signed a bit of paper 12 years ago so now she cant get any money from him and has to go out and try to support herself or remarry at 40. (to make it simpler lets imagine no kids involved). She then has to live in worse conditions than she is used to, and may never be able to find a suitable partner at that age for remarrying.
You can of course argue she was dumb to sign the pre-nup but I would say thats harsh and the courts should be able to overrule or ignore the prenup.

mamabear - but if you have the sense to see that a pre-nup is needed, then surely you have the sense to not marry that golddigger. I guess this really gets the point of why some people see pre-nups as silly.

Seems like this is a real superfight coming up this week. Does anyone know if its on in Japan?

I looked on the e2 website but couldn't find anything, not sure if it shows PPV programs or not.

This is shaping up to be a great season. Chelsea have sorted themselves out and Liverpool look in good enough shape to hang on. Hope it stays this way to the end, then we are going to see some real huge games.
-
Surely you point it at the tv and lean on it side to side. i saw a trailer on tv where that seemed to be the case. it'd be lame otherwise.

I think the issue is not that you think it might go wrong, but just that there is a logical possibility of it happening so you prepare for that. I think people find it difficult to seperate emotion from logic on this issue.
Myself I didnt get a pre-nup, mainly cos of the hassle and I didnt want to start off a marriage in that way. However, if I was very rich I would probably have considered it more carefully and I think theres nothign wrong with pre-nups per se.
Another interesting thing is why the government even allows pre-nups to exist. How can they on one hand always give out say 50% to the wife in a divorce, and on the other hand just say 'oh ok then' if they signed a pre-nup.

Why would Besiktas throw the game when they have a chance to qualify for next round?
-
yeh its to stop the reflection of the lights and your head becoming 'shiny'. but then the eye shadow and stuff seems extreme. however theyve been doing that for donkeys years, bogart and james cagney used to use eye shadow.

i saw he was flogging a load of Nintendos on ebay the other day.

they run it in many countries. i think in the US they offer it in several cities. theres also a business japanese test (JETRO maybe?) which happens more than once a year.

For sure learning kanji as a westerner is really no mean feat.
If I had put 25% of my japanese study time into learning say Java and UNIX then I would be on double my salary now I think.
I really feel sorry for people who study the language in order to get a job, only to find out after all that work that translators really dont get paid that much. At the 2kyu test I was talking to a girl who was doing exactly that.
-
Until you come to anfield, house of pain. After last year we are due a victory I think.
-
Go native - tell me about it. However i got a japanese wife so I need to learn the language and I aint getting any younger.
ger - I think the reason the reading section is so difficult is cos so many Chinese are taking the test. Most of the chinese sitting near me had closed their test sheet 30mins into the test and started sleeping. Whereas I didn't get time to read the last 3 pages! I also think that first test, kanji/vocab is totally redundant when you have that reading test at the end. It is impossible to imagine somone passing the reading and failing the kanji/vocab so they should just scrap it IMO.
-
Yep, something like 20 goals in last 5 games now...
-
I took 2kyu.
First 2 tests were OK and I think I got about 65-70% on those, but the last one, reading, was an absolute bxxtch. The level was totally different to the vocab and listening tests I thought. I must have guessed 90% of the answers. I did loads of practice tests for reading and never came across anything like that. Must have been really unlucky and they just picked all the kanji I dont know
-
Interesting that a lot of Japanese men fall into either the 'girlier than a girl' camp or 'me mr macho...smoke 50 cigs a day...dont do any housework...stink...drive white toyota crown' category.

I guess in christianity it is similar - in Latin America you get guys called Jesus, but you never get that in Europe.
Wonder what would happen if the UK government started shooting all tourists named Jesus at passport control...

from BBC:
Quote:UK teacher jailed over teddy row
A British teacher has been found guilty in Sudan of insulting religion after she allowed her primary school class to name a teddy bear Muhammad.
...
The school's director, Robert Boulos, told the AP news agency: "It's a very fair verdict, she could have had six months and lashes and a fine, and she only got 15 days and deportation."
So what, we are supposed to take this country and their religion seriously now? These guys saved Mohammed from dire humiliation? I really think some people do not have any brain in their head.

I also had the runaround to get my copy.
Really, how difficult would it be to sell them online with paypal or similar?

I had Prince of Persia on the old Xbox, it was pretty good. Never heard of any of those others. I got a lot to occupy me with halo3 and bioshock anyway for a few months.

Nice result for liverpool a few hours ago, just need another performance in marseille to go thru. Torres proving his worth yet again.
