Bad Beat/Moaning/Venting - pray for Lazare

Eric Dier can play at centre back.

England's best chance is to play with as many of the Spurs lads as possible Walker and Rose as full backs, Dier holding, Ali behind Kane.

The more they incline towards the likes of Wilshire (joke with 1 league start), Henderson, Sterling, Milner then the more predictable will be their usual failure. I think their defence is fine, it's their midfield that I think is lacking, and they are spoilt for choice up front.

---------------------------------Hart----------------------------
Walker---------------Smalling ------ Cahill ----------- Rose
----------------------------------Dier--------------------------
----------------Barkley--------------------- Ali-----------------
Sturridge-----------------------Rooney------------Lallana---
----------------------------------Kane--------------------------

Would be a good attacking lineup imo, though perhaps too light in midfield. I'm a fan of Fabian Delph, but he took early retirement by going to Man City for their English quota. I would like to see Vardy and Kane playing together as a front two, but I also rate Sturridge too highly not to play him.

It's a tough one for Roy. The only guarantee is that he'll get it wrong.

At least he probably wont get 12 on the pitch like you can

@RichieM: What's the best go to font to use for CVs?

Some people have a real issue with times new roman but I dont really care about fonts much. That being said I generally use Ariel or Ariel narrow for docs.

[Solskjaer]

It's an older line, but it checks out.
I was about to thank it

thought you were one of the more perceptive ones


I'm fully aware of how I've viewed on here, corny jokes and Cromwell hating in my blood (ref AJ Eurovision). So I play to it. Can be ignored and seems I mostly am , don't matter as once it's posted the band of brothers can move on with their more well plotted skits. So with that in mind do you really think I wasn't expecting a bite or two from my 'obvious' stick in the hornets nest?. Anyhoo, I shall have my mammy vet the next lot of wisecracks and send directly to mdoug to cheer him up. So those of you who thanked Hondas post

Ah yeah, Dier can do a job, and Drinkwater/Milner slot in depending on need. That helps.

Woy has a huge balancing act ahead of him alright. Picking between proven experience, talent and form will be really tricky. Dunno about going full Spurs, as a manager he is loyal to players. I also think Clyne is a certainty for left back. Rose is exposed whoever they choose for the left midfield, he needs someone more defensive.

If Woy has any balls he'll use Rooney as a supersub, but he'll get crucified in the media if it backfires. A lot will depend on Sturridge's fitness, too. Think they'll line up something like this:

With a moo moo here and a baa baa there.

[hotspur]

Lol.

I'm going to swear blind that I didn't put Rooney in, and somehow he got in anyway. Surprised Wishire didn't get in too, and Shaw at left back.

I had an interesting experience recently with printing out a pdf. I don't understand how it can happen but...what I saw on the screen in the pdf for some pages was different to what printed out - some of it printed out in a different language.

I have confirmed what is on the screen and what is printed out, and that's just the way it is. Does anyone have any insight into this apparent miracle?

Does anyone have a view on our new junior health minister Finian McGrath being a smoker and saying he can't commit to giving up?

Doesn't sit well with me, though he has a personal right to his vice too. Though this has come about because he has expressed support for re-introducing smoking in pubs and restaurants in designated areas.

A health minister / junior health minister shouldn't be fecking smoking though should they?

[mdoug]

I could see this being engerlands starting line-up

---------------------------------Hart----------------------------
Walker--------------Smalling ------ Cahill ----------- Rose(no baines? :/)
-------------------------Drinkwater---------Dier--------------------------
-------Rooney-----------------------------------------------Milner
-------------------------Vardy-----------Kane--------------------------


He can't really bench Vardy or Kane surely unless they have a stinker in the friendlies. I'd have Vardy starting ahead of Kane or Sturridge anyway

Well look at Mary Harney she was morbidly obese James Reilly a doctor was also very overweight.
The reintroducing smoking in pubs is a joke.
What about the workers?
I personally think smoking is an absolute abortion of a habit but its peoples personal choice.

[The Situation]

I'd still build the team around Rooney, not many in the squad with proven ability at highest level (or at all) of Champions League, easy to overrate lads who've performed well in a relatively weak premiership season. Don't think teams like Spurs' season would have been looked on as fondly had City and Chelsea actually performed to anything like their actual abilities this year. There is a hardworking and better attitude feel to the squad though compered than previous ones which could well combat the lack of experience.

I wouldn't place much blame for United mess on Rooney's shoulders, look how well the likes Di Maria has done both before and after his United spell, world class players can struggle in poor set ups. Always like Wayne in that deeper role too, he's got far too much to offer to even consider not starting imo.

England have a decent run and knocked out in Semi's

[CHDad]

I hope the English do well simply because they don't try the boring shite that Germany, Spain, Italy and Belgium do. Ditto with France, I think they'll win it

Genuinely confused as to how Germany are on that list, have they not been the great entertainers of the last 10 years? The big hope for everyone who hated Spain, with the germans regarded as playing 'proper' football?

Plenty of high scoring group games and then some incredible knockout ties, 4-1 v England (the Lampard 'goal' game) immediately backed up by 4-0 v Argentina, swingy consecutive 3-2s against Portugal and Turkey in '08, highscoring madcap game against Greece in 2012, couple of entertaining semifinal defeats to Italy, 7-1 v Brazil in the most recent semi.
They've been the go-to guys for a memorable game.

[Strewelpeter]

Shes more than likely just on the piss or out of it in some crack den.

I remember being a wee kid of 12-15 spending every Saturday night in the pub until 5am and coming home with the inside of my nose literally black. Every time I blew it it was just black coming stuff coming out.

Them were the days.

[Keane]

I don't even know any smokers that want smoking back indoors.

[mdoug]

Germany are a fun to watch really, Chad shall have to take that back.

I have often fly over to a random city in Germany when their games are on just for the bants with the locals too(never flown to another country to do this). That's how I ended up with the I IPB tshirt wherever that is now

4-4 sweden and 5-3 sweden? They're entertaining against teams that can play, they were playing against much worse teams

that was the world cup qualification wasn't it... oops

Sure they had no good teams in the qualifying this year, they decided to hide their actual tactics for the competition and let the likes of Ireland beat them?

[mdoug]

France kinda going into this stale no? Not having to qualify, sure they'll have only played shitty friendlies together

Also Austria to top their group then go on to win the cup for the bants?

For Fathers and Sons.

When you make that decision to move out of home, for whatever reason, it seems they had a fight in this song, and the son aint changing his mind. He has decided to move on, its stifling him, the atmosphere is dragging everyone down and he knows he doesnt want to end up like everyone else, esp his father

The central theme in a way for most of Springsteen, the death of small town America. High hope on wall street and no hope on main street as he says himself.

Like most father son relationships, there comes a time to move on, when you get to a certain age you become both sides to that story, or at least, in my case, you will soon be the other person in the story ( I never had the first part either...)

He says himself it was the first time he, as a person realised his parents must have been his age one time, had dreams and were going to change the world. Did they have the same dreams as him and ended up still in this situation ? Will i end up like this also ?

Independence day is about breaking free into the world, don't confuse it with july 4th, thats a different day.

Lyrics.

SPOILER

Well Papa go to bed now it's getting late
Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now
I'll be leaving in the morning from St. Mary's Gate
We wouldn't change this thing even if we could somehow
Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us
There's a darkness in this town that's got us too
But they can't touch me now
And you can't touch me now
They ain't gonna do to me
What I watched them do to you

So say goodbye it's Independence Day
It's Independence Day
All down the line
Just say goodbye it's Independence Day
It's Independence Day this time

Now I don't know what it always was with us
We chose the words, and yeah, we drew the lines
There was just no way this house could hold the two of us
I guess that we were just too much of the same kind

Well say goodbye it's Independence Day
It's Independence Day all boys must run away
So say goodbye it's Independence Day
All men must make their way come Independence Day

Now the rooms are all empty down at Frankie's joint
And the highway she's deserted clear down to Breaker's Point
There's a lot of people leaving town now
leaving their friends, their homes
At night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone

Well Papa go to bed now, it's getting late
Nothing we can say can change anything now
Because there's just different people coming down here now and they see things in different ways
And soon everything we've known will just be swept away

So say goodbye it's Independence Day
Papa now I know the things you wanted that you could not say
But won't you just say goodbye it's Independence Day
I swear I never meant to take those things away

@shrap: def not Times New Roman. I'd go with Calibri as its the default font of Word 2013, and shows you upgrade your word processing software every now and again. Not a fan of Arial at all - too angular.

Soft rounded edges might be great for whatever lazily written paragraphs your female students turn in but for the serious manly bullet points that are cv's it's got to be Arial.

It's sharp clean angles command respect and let you know that shrap is all about precise, accurate output. Anybody who is impressed that you upgrade your word processor is sure to be doubly impressed that you are a man who picks your own font.

one of the role playing exercises was two actors, one a boss the other a secretary. Bob the boss walks into the stage office and says to the secretary - 'hey bitch make me a coffee'. We then had a pause while our Dean rushed on the stage and patiently asked 'now what did Bob do wrong there? ... anyone?'

Most obvious, assuming she'd know whether he wanted white or black, number of sugars etc..

Also, might get more done in future such sessions if Dean was closer to the mike - so not having to rush up and down after each segment.
