    Cant find anything in the high odds so @ 80/1 - England over 1.5 goals 1st half, England over 4.5 corners 1st half, Red card in the match...

      Said it on here before but science and the humanities lost out when muller became a footballer, it's all brain & reaction, he should be sitting in the corner of some lab solving the world like it's a rubix cube

      He doesn't even kick a ball properly ffs

      The ability of Lingard or Sterling to actually hit the target might be my biggest problem, not their conversation ratio

I'd say I've drank about six times in last year and each time has been a disaster. Although trying to hide the whip marks from the wife to avoid extra difficulties.
                Pretty serious stuff if they're leaving marks. Puts stripper glitter in the ha'penny place.

                    Hitch love the openness. I don't think I could ever do that.

                    Edit:I the complete openness part, not the whipping part. Could probably do the whipping, maybe.

                              Ronnie Whelan going on like topping this group matters all that much. They should rest all their stars against Belgium if they're any way smart, and so should Belgium.

                                      The Japanese aren't up to much at the back and all but even so, the power and directness of the Senegalese front line is impressive!

                                                3-3 draw tonight would be mutually useful to Colombia and Poland.
                                                Would leave them both needing to win their last game but their goals scored would be high enough to guarantee a top 2 finish.

                                                A win tonight doesn't really get them anything more, they would still likely need to win their last game. And a loss eliminates them.

                                                      It's because she's a woman. Afraid of looking bad if they replace her last minute. For the first time since the world cup started i turned off the build up. Too painful to listen to.

                                                                      My point was that the downside of losing tonight (elimination) was greater than the upside of winning (you'd still likely to need to win your last game regardless) so that tonight veered towards a draw, and the higher score draw the better for both. Meh, when I tip 100/1 shots a lot of them will be missing a foreleg, or in the case of Poland the ability to make 5 metre passes across their own backline.

                                                                          The rule is that the match can't restart whilst there is a player in the wrong half. Even if the 11th player left the pitch then the game shouldn't really restart anyway as the game can't continue with less than seven players on a side.
                                                                          What leaving the player on the pitch but in the wrong half achieves is that Spain can't restart the game the exact second all Portuguese players go back into their own half but aren't yet in proper kick off position/formation.

                                                                              Edit:I the complete openness part, not the whipping part. Could probably do the whipping, maybe.
                                                                              The complete openness I hope though is something you can do around your close friends. Hide enough of yourself, enough of the time and you lose touch with who you are as a person. Playing a character of yourself which in essence is what you are doing if you hide yourself takes a huge toll. I see that in people around myself. Life is hard though so I am trying not to look at it from a place of judgement. I just know that things are far easier when you accept yourself, you talk openly, the people around you accept that person and you all understand each other better.

                                                                              Edit - Just so I don't sound like some zen cunt with all the answers. The untangling of myself gave rise to realising what a massive cunt I had been as a person in the past at the certain times. The past is somewhere you should visit not wishing for a time-machine but somewhere you can grow and learn from your experiences.

The justifications they have told themselves and others around them to make this life thing work has destroyed them as people. Hitch has always been honest here. People here judge that because maybe they wish they could do the same. The practical element though you describe is another thing entirely and you are completely right.

                                                                                          What's the point of that rule? Makes no sense
                                                                                          The rule is actually that play can commence after a goal once all opposition players have left your half of the field. Normally that means by retreating to their own half before kick off but if they all leave the pitch it has the same effect.

                                                                                          Technically, although it's usually not enforced, once the team has kicked off any player entering the field of play without the referees permission would also get a yellow card.

                                                                                          EDIT: Armani beat me to it.

What's the go to on pension contributions. I'm in the 15% bracket as I'm under 30 and employer will match 7%.

                                                                                            I might have a look at their funds myself and see what I like as I'm not sure the default will be the most efficient.
                                                                                            I think obviously go to the 7% or should I go beyond the match?

What's the go to on pension contributions. I'm in the 15% bracket as I'm under 30 and employer will match 7%.

                                                                                                                    I might have a look at their funds myself and see what I like as I'm not sure the default will be the most efficient.
                                                                                                                    I think obviously go to the 7% or should I go beyond the match?
                                                                                                                    As a certain well-known poster would ask:
                                                                                                                    1. when do you want to retire?
                                                                                                                    2. when are you planning to die?


                                                                                                                    If the answer to (1) is 'before the age of 70', then put in the max.
