    I have something that's tormenting my mind about a colleague, who's also a close friend. Something he said during the week.

    It's gotten to the point where I just have to confront him about it..

    Thing is I'm useless in those situations over the phone. Things can get heated or flustered and I can struggle to get exactly what's on my mind accross.

    I'm very good at it over email though.

    I'm thinking of putting a mail together laying it all out. He will call me after it I'd guess, which is fine, I'll have gotten my point accross with clarity and we can then duel it out.

    Good move or no?

      Writing your points out in preperation for a phone call or face to face I think is a good idea. Lets you focus on the main issue and gather your thoughts and arguments.
      I would think.carefully about sending it though given the permanent nature of an email.
      Like lets say you make your points in an email. He rings you back and it degenerates into a heated argument. He has an email from you saying xyz which is now unretractable.
      Im just thinking worse case scenario here in case your employer becomes involved at some point.

      Perhaps a text or email asking to meet up and address the issue at a later date so you both have time to think.about it a bit so it wont be a knee jerk phone call type thing.

        Cheers dinekes, I was just chatting with my wife about it and she made similar points.

        I think you're right.

        I will write it down and make the call I think.

            Let's not underestimate the power of keeping things light. Mountains and mole hills etc . Just a general point . You dont come across as the easily incited though.

              Is it critical for what you want to do that he accepts your point?

              Or is it just critical for your sense of what is right and wrong that he accepts your point?

              If its just the latter then do an elsa on it. The world is full of people with stupid thoughts, as long as its not having a real impact on you, then just let it slide. imo.

                          One last spam bump for the stragglers.

                          Just TWO HOURS to get entries in for the 2021 Multi Sport Competition. Cut off point 2.15pm.
                          Pick the winners of the year's biggest sporting events (stuff like the Cheltenham Gold Cup or Aussie Rules) - win points, win money.

                          List of events in post #1.

                          Tables are a bit of mess on 'new' IPB unfortunately, so going to do as much of the competition as possible via google spreadsheets. So the attached document is the initial list of events for this years competition. (Some more events will be added in July as this format seemed to work well last year). https://docs.google.com/sp

                            Made the call, it was good. I was wrong.

                            Such a weight lifted.

                            So glad I didn't send that email now. Thank you for the advice guys.

Completely randomized, so even Hitch or Andynotfatbastard could win it... Just to give a simplifed explanation...You will be assigned a numbered box, such as 3-5... The score at end of each quarter is..
                                    9-6
                                    17-6

                                    ...You would win the 3rd quarter prize!... Can be a good sweat when up at 01:00am watching it,,, Currently 5 entrants, but i'm sure it'll gain traction!...

                                            Salma Hayek has said she was told her career would “die” when she was in her thirties and she would never make it in Hollywood as a Mexican actress.

                                            The star of films such as Frida, Desperado and from Dusk Til Dawn, 54, said she wants other women to realise they are not “over” when they reach a certain age.

                                                Dupont is unreal, has a complete arsenal of attacking skills. Italy didn't offer much resistance tbf but that French team is clinical. Italy's 9 and back 3 had some good attacking moments too. Hard to see anything other than France v England deciding the championship.

                                                Let's see if "We can beat everyone" Scotland can back it up now in a few minutes. As much as I dislike Eddie Jones smugness he's a decent coach and even better wind up merchant.

                                                    Yeah, I suppose its a bit like one of those 'u ok hun' Facebook stories.

                                                    Ah it's a bit long winded, I said colleague earlier but it's actually my boss. We're friends since nippers so it's not your standard employee employer relationship. I knew if I said boss in the op people would immediately say don't email.

                                                    A bit of an incident happened in work on Wed where I got the impression my boss thought a customer was stealing stock.

                                                    I got a phone call at home about it and although the misunderstanding was cleared up, I was left with the awful feeling that he had thought I was involved.

                                                    We're like brothers so for me, if it was the case, if he thought I was capable of that there wouldn't really be any way back from it.

                                                    Call could have went either way tbh. Very happy it went the way it did. Was mentally preparing for unemployment at one stage.

                                                            I would take a slightly different interpretation on this and suggest ...

                                                            Given how ye two go back to the year dot and he's your pal, you might be under more stress than you think you are, if you are letting odd thoughts like that creep into your head. Just throwing it out there as a half-assed public diagnosis - that it was a strange conclusion for you to draw no matter the circumstantial evidence. This lockdown is doing strange things to a lot of people.

At that stage, I actually thought they deserved to lose for their own stupidity. Let's not forget what led to that whole segment. A missed touchline by Hogg off a penalty kick, which was dropped by May, and they also missed 3 penalties. Dominant but incredibly lucky to get away with it all.

At that stage, I actually thought they deserved to lose for their own stupidity. Let's not forget what led to that whole segment. A missed touchline by Hogg off a penalty kick, which was dropped by May, and they also missed 3 penalties. Dominant but incredibly lucky to get away with it all.
                                                                                                                In the interests of accuracy it was a free kick from a scrum that Hogg had so he was right not to find touch. May dropping it was a serious bonus. He actually briefly debated going for a scrum again but wisely chose to kick long than risk a scrum in that area of the pitch.

                                                                                                                The scrum half play and the DG call was terrible. The only excuse for Finn Russell is if the clock in the stadium was wrong. Otherwise it was the biggest ego bullshit call I’ve seen in a long time. I actually thought Russell was a 6/10 at best. Missed a few gettable kicks, two shit drop goal attempts, stupid and dangerous leg trip. His attack is sublime at times and he never lets a mistake put him off but he can be a serious liability.

                                                                                                                Scotland were very good but the misfiring attacking lineout for England, the absolutely shit discipline (and a no nonsense refereeing performance by Andy Brace), and the undercooked nature of a number of their key players were massive. They will get better which doesn’t help Ireland.

                                                                                                                However, it really sets up a very exciting 6Ns. Just hope Ireland can be in the mix and play there way into the tournament tmrw. Ireland are undercooked too and selecting two props and a hooker with fuck all recent playing minutes in the bank on the bench is a huge risk tmrw that i think is hard to justify. Also not convinced about our backrow as it’s very 1 dimensional now. Josh van der Flier needs a huge game or his international career could disappear. Losing Doris was huge.

                                                                                                                We can’t afford any of the following going down with injuries early tmrw or I think we’d be in serious shit.

Why select Kilcoyne, Kelleher, furlong when in their current state their isnt much difference between them and the guys who have been playing regularly. They will get better as they get game time but they just can’t be there right now.

Chilli plant is going well, so tried some other edibles. The veg wilted pretty quick, standard enough for me. Small pits prob not great for that stuff.
                                                                                                                      But today in their place was lots of fiat brown mushrooms. Broke one up, smelt pretty tasty.
                                                                                                                      Downloaded a mushroom identification app. Apparently they are called “plums and custard”. And dispute the delicious name, I gives you the shits.

                                                                                                                      Mushrooms are mad altogether. Pop up out of nowhere. Some are food, some are poison, some are drugs.
                                                                                                                      Makes you wonder how they ever became a food staple.

                                                                                                                      Comment

May dropping it was a serious bonus. He actually briefly debated going for a scrum again but wisely chose to kick long than risk a scrum in that area of the pitch.

                                                                                                                          The scrum half play and the DG call was terrible. The only excuse for Finn Russell is if the clock in the stadium was wrong. Otherwise it was the biggest ego bullshit call I’ve seen in a long time. I actually thought Russell was a 6/10 at best. Missed a few gettable kicks, two shit drop goal attempts, stupid and dangerous leg trip. His attack is sublime at times and he never lets a mistake put him off but he can be a serious liability.

                                                                                                                          Scotland were very good but the misfiring attacking lineout for England, the absolutely shit discipline (and a no nonsense refereeing performance by Andy Brace), and the undercooked nature of a number of their key players were massive. They will get better which doesn’t help Ireland.

                                                                                                                          However, it really sets up a very exciting 6Ns. Just hope Ireland can be in the mix and play there way into the tournament tmrw. Ireland are undercooked too and selecting two props and a hooker with fuck all recent playing minutes in the bank on the bench is a huge risk tmrw that i think is hard to justify. Also not convinced about our backrow as it’s very 1 dimensional now. Josh van der Flier needs a huge game or his international career could disappear. Losing Doris was huge.

                                                                                                                          We can’t afford any of the following going down with injuries early tmrw or I think we’d be in serious shit.

                                                                                                                          Keenan

                                                                                                                          That feels like a lot of unnecessary risk with not much immediate reward. Why select Kilcoyne, Kelleher, furlong when in their current state their isnt much difference between them and the guys who have been playing regularly. They will get better as they get game time but they just can’t be there right now.

                                                                                                                          I must say despite not having much interest in rugby I always find your analysis of it very edifying.
