This whole Slatan/Pique thing might be a watershed moment for sport. I wonder who else will come out?

The Ballad of Brave Sir Robin
Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin!
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken;
To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away;
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin!
His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off
And his pen--
Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!
He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge...Comment

Who else is gay? That what you mean? Maybe 3 to 6%. If Kinseys claim that 10% of the male population is gay is to be believed thats one gay per soccer team.Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. ~Eleanor RooseveltComment

Ship the life 1-outer.
After a sleepless night of trying to recover from a pretty heavy weekend, I'm basically lying in bed thinking there is absolutely no way I'm in any state to work. Get a phone call at 8 in the morning saying the school group I was meant to be teaching had their flight cancelled because of the ash cloud.
I'll happily give up my day's wages if it means I can stay in bed instead of attempting to teach a group of 14 year - old Spanish kids English when I myself can barely string two words together due to sleep deprivation and general delirium.

I do. I think it would be good for the game if a few players (or former players) came out. The attitudes that led to Robbie Fowler taunting Graeme LeSaux (who was never gay btw)are still pervasive in sport IMO, and a few challenges to people's assumptions would help sort that out. But I suspect it will just be one of those things that will stay in the closet, as it were.Originally posted by ghostface ste View Post"I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S.

Crashed my car into another car in the shopping centre car park.
(I'll probably have to pay both car repairs to keep my no claims.)
Today
My repair estimate is only €800.
Get a letter saying I am due €1,900 as money I saved into my pension was underpaid.

How is your no claims discount structured? You should work out how much the claim needs to be before you decide whether to pay it yourself or forego your NCD. Its not a hard calc, just needs you to make a few assumptions.Originally posted by kincsem View PostPoker influence? - bad beats/good beats

I've no motivation to play poker anymore even though ive made a nice bit of money from it last month. Last month i only played around 10-15 hours id say. I still enjoy playing but i think i am worried i will go on a downswing or something!
I suppose doing other things instead of sitting in front of a lcd screens isnt a bad thing espically when we do get a bit of good weather. Can't decided if its a +ev or -ev yet..Comment

I have nothing against Kylie! I myself was at a Madonna show in slane a few years back(which was piss poor). I was merely pointing out the wrongness of a statement like 10% of population is gay therefore 10% of any group within the population is gay. I would feel fairly confident that >10% of men in a gay bar are gay for another even more obvious exampleOriginally posted by TommyGunne View Post

I work in the same school as carlop and got the same phonecall this morning saying the Spanish students we were supposed to be teaching couldn't make it here due to the ash. I was pretty wrecked from the weekend too so didn't really mind but I need the money pretty badly which is annoying. Anyway I fired up a $4k gtee $7 rebuy at 10 this morning seeing as I was up and I'm currently heads up, haven't left my bed yet. Beats working anyway. Here's a fun hand from heads up. In case you can't make it out he donked the flop, I raised, he 3b and and i 4b shoved. The old gutterball and bd fd good enough.
Edit: Just scooped it for just shy of $1200.Comment
