Was gross all right but the top deck people just wouldn't agree. Cidona knocks it out of the park imo To me Cidona was La Liga and Top Deck was Seria A. Then somebody walked on the moon and soon the world forgot about the battle of the soda shandys but not me DOBBY not me.

Turn duvet cover inside out, go in from the front and find the 2 furthest corners, grab duvet with same hands and shake inside out.

Quote 2 here copies the same argument style as quote 1. And in each case your 'didn't realise' is just way too extravagant. Quote 3 is some sort of argument by absurdity that doesn't work. Yet while you start with these dodgy argumentative tics, when you get into your actual argument your are able to make it quite convincingly using appropriate claims to authority, data.
Make of this what you will.

I am one of those that really stuggled with the duvet changing.
Am looking forward to trying out the new method. Can't believe that there was a method and that I never knew about it.No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

Darcy article yesterday was just pandering to the popular opinion of the masses. The fact that he dresses it up with technical language and some tactical discussion and is widely acclaimed for it says alot more for the standard of rugby writing in the media rather than his own writing talent. Use a few terms that would be common place amongst any AIL 2B coaching session and you're proclaimed at the new messiah. Disappointed as found his earlier articles really interesting but this just felt like cheap clickbait.
Pretty hard to say definitively that Burgess is at fault when (I presume) Darcy is not 100% on the English defensive strategy. Could equally blame Barritt and Farrell for the same moments he highlights if they're employing a different strategy.
The whole Burgess media storm is really off-putting as deep down it's all built on a hatred of rugby league and his background. People want him to fail as it shouldn't be seen as "possible" to get up to international standard in this space of time, and Union supporters don't want to acknowledge that rugby league players could possibly appreciate the nuances of the game (despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary). It's all a bit class warfare too when you read people comparing his education with Jamie Roberts as why he can't pick up the game.
Annoying that the only person to blame Lancaster has had such a convenient and popular scapegoat all week. Burgess cast as the Balotelli to Lancaster's Brendan Rodgers perfectly.

The quote I posted suggests it
Originally posted by D'Arcy's ArticleBy then the Burgess experiment had been abandoned because the England coaching team accepted, long after everyone else, that he had no idea what was happening around him.
Originally posted by D'Arcy's ArticleIt’s simply not possible for him to be ready.
Originally posted by D'Arcy's ArticleStuart Lancaster picked a league convert who doesn’t know how to play inside centre for the biggest match England have played since the 2007 World Cup final.
Originally posted by D'Arcy's ArticleBarritt was arguably worse and badly exposed for the Gareth Davies try.Originally posted by D'Arcy's Article70 mins: Barritt sells everyone up the river by incorrectly reading the play.
D'Arcy's point is clear. Trying to facilitate a player learning on the job at the top level in a RWC game sounds bonkers, and it was borne out. It caused them to have to move Barritt out of position, where he stank up some of the important roles there too.
Originally posted by D'Arcy's ArticleThe Burgess gamble wasn’t calculated. Burrell had proved he can do what they hoped Burgess would do.

Originally posted by Arrogant Kiwi hackFormer Ireland back Gordon D'Arcy is proving significantly more incisive in print than he ever was on the field. Best known for not being anywhere near as good as Brian O'Driscoll, D'Arcy's savaging of English league convert Sam Burgess in the Irish Times went around the planet in a nanosecond.
According to Mr D'Arcy, Burgess' "naivety embarrassed those around him and severely damaged England's chances of reaching the quarter-finals".
D'Arcy, of course, knows plenty about RWC quarter-finals - it being the stage where Ireland tended to exit the tournament during the 16-odd years of mediocrity that coincided with his international career.Turning millions into thousands

In the eyes of a mechanic you are basically a subhuman if you can't replace your own wiper blades. He gave you the chance to prove you were not one of those people but you failed the test.

From the album "Thought you were in the business of selling cars" we bring you "First world problems"
My maid is cleaning my bathroom,
so I can't take a shower.
Bought new blades for my Audi,
the help was a disaster.
Can't remember which car,
I drove to Our Conor's stall.
Thirteen hundred duvet,
he won't RIP like a neanderathal.
Sell a few accounts,
To feed the addiction.
Now Hastings won't cough up,
any legal ramification?
Can't book a Friday,
in the Vintage Kitchen.
Gonna give them a call,
the rest you can imagine.

TL'DR- I bought a dog

- I refused
- It barked

Originally posted by Gimmeabreakmove on by, just another customer service rant from the guy who gets upset at shit customer service and interaction.
Called Audi Sandyford to ask about have new wiper blades on my car. Was told, easy peasy, no need to make an appointment just pop in and we will do it for you while you wait. Arrive today, main reception send me to parts where everything starts to unravel. Having requested new blades the guy pops out back and gets them and upon returning pops two boxes containing said blades on the counter and says "there you go, that will be €54". He did so in a very, that's where this ends buddy type of time so I ask if he was going to put them on for me but he told me they were short staffed and he couldn't. I am getting into my lean forward, fix my gaze upon him stance when he says "If you pop your head into the workshop next door you might find someone to stick them in for you". Anyway the rest you can imagine from here but I told him to hold onto the blades for "safekeeping". He reversed and sorted it out but fuck me - this guy should be shown the door.
Now, who can turn this into a song?

You wouldn't buy a pair of shoelaces and ask the guy to lace your brogues.
You wouldn't download a car with no windscreen wipers either.

I think given todays argument it's fair to say that Dublin aren't the best football team in Ireland.
I also think Solks is spot on with the hell that is changing duvet covers. It's not so much the difficulty, it's that when it goes wrong....it goes horribly wrong.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.
The author is not liable for any issue arising from the platitudinous nature of this post.
