speaking of the IFSC, now I really have seen everything
it's pretty standard on hot summer's days to see young knackers jumping into the Liffey (usually in their 14.99 wetsuits from Aldi). And fair play to them says I, I wish I still had the balls to do the same. But today, they have taken it to a whole new level. There's about 4 of them climbing onto the roof of the Thai restaurant on the North quays (in front of the Clarion) and taking a running jump into the water. It's a good 4/5 yards from the roof to the edge of the quay and about a 15 metre drop in total - if you don't make it to the water, you're looking at wheelchair ramps
these lads are clearing it by about a foot (with their mates cheeirng them on), it's like watching Russian Roulette"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

if any of you soccer lads are about; here's a question
why, when the ball is smacked straight at the keeper these days, instead of just catching it, they knock it down onto the turf and only then catch it securely?
are they coached to do it or is it something to do with new ball technology?"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Ok Life you win. So incredibly tilted by this-I surrender. I wonder what its like to be a normal person and figure out anything remotely linked to computers or technology or have things work normally. Must be a peaceful exsisitance.
Hopefully when Ive stopped punching the wall manically and screaming at an inanamte object Ill be able to appreciate that fate has conspired to not allow me to actively sabotage my life by taking up Champ again .
I don't think champ manager would be suitable for you.http://mobro.co/zuroph

Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that causes rats to become attracted to cats, which can adversely affect the development of a baby within a pregnant women's body. The post digs into Stanford scientist Dr. Robert Sopalsky's research around how "toxo" changes human behavior, but this snippet about how it "hijacks the sexual reward pathway" in rats' minds is pure gold.
Once in the rat, Toxo's goal is to then be eaten by a cat so it can be fruitful and multiply, but as I mentioned, this can only take place in the cat's gut. Toxo's goal is to get the rat eaten by a cat. Toxo could get the desired effect through a whole sort of seemingly obvious ways; e.g., Make the rat hard to run so it is easier for a cat to catch it. Instead it takes a far more interesting approach: Toxo generates cysts in the brain of the rat. These cysts take over the fear center of the brain, but specifically the fear of predators. Common fear sources for rodents (e.g., bright lights, open spaces, etc.) still operate perfectly well in an infected rat, but now they are no longer afraid of cat piss. That alone would be cool enough, but Toxo takes it one step further. When Toxo is going about futzing with the fear center of the brain it also goes into the sexual excitement part of the brain. It hijacks the incoming Fear of Cat Piss™ and instead diverts the signal to the Barry White™ center of the brain.
"Somehow, this damn parasite knows how to make cat urine smell sexually arousing to rodents, and they go and check it out. Totally amazing." - Dr. Sapolsky
The rat is now sexually attracted to cat piss! (This is a fetish that gets you eaten by your predator and rats clearly do not have any safe words with cats.)
Now, this part blew my non-rat mind: Sapolsky says motorcyclists have a high probability of being infected with ToxoTurning millions into thousands

Funny article on English soccer on football365.com
it's on talks of Bekham becoming next english manager
====
Wanted
We are a large football association based in the European Union. We have a respected business model with a regular four year B&S (blame & shame) turnover. We are looking to build on our medium term small successes by appointing a candidate with the following qualifications and qualities.
Qualifications:
1 - Very tight trousers and a crisp white shirt
2 - Punditry experience
3 - A minimum of a 2:1 grade in modern bollixonomy
4 - Must be proper English with an up to date passion certificate
Skills and abilities:
1 - Ability to talk the loudest when sat amongst more esteemed peers
2 - Ability to talk at over 130 decibels so as to prevent any possible counter argument
3 - Ability to sit with legs apart at 75 to 90 degrees.
4 - Proven skill in utilising hindsight to pick the next team and formation according to popular opinion.
Please fax your application to us at the English FA. Applications are to be handwritten in crayon. Neatly typed and legible applications will not be accepted because that would make you a German that lacks passion.

The New Man
With it looking increasingly like Capello's reign is over, it's important to look at what we need from the next incumbent.
Firstly, it is essential that no rational thought, historical evidence or logic is used when considering the next England manager. The most important thing is PASSION! Just like we had under Kevin Keegan's glorious, reign. And he needs to be English, just like Steve McClaren and Terry Venables were when they led us to a triumphant 3-2 home defeat against an already qualified Croatia reserves en route to Euro 2008 success. Also, we need someone who understands us, like Alan Shearer did Newcastle United during his illustrious one win from eight games reign or Bryan Robson did as he led Middlesbrough from strength to strength.
And finally, he must be some with integrity, loyalty and tactical awareness like the obvious candidate: Harry Redknapp.
You know, someone who wouldn't dream of using a punditry job on television to put his name forward for a job that isn't even available. In the same way that he never talks about players under contract at other clubs and is incredibly loyal to fans - I mean, when he said Portsmouth would be his last job in football you knew he meant it!
And while that outdated dinosaur, multiple league title and champions league winner Capello refuses to budge from his favourite formation Redknapp is using the revolutionary 4-4-2 during his trophy-laden spell at Spurs, and all while scraping together a squad with only the second largest net outlay on players in the league.
But will the FA listen? No, they never do despite the fact that everyone in English pubs can do a better job than Capello! Which is obviously why pub-goers are in demand from every top club around the world when looking for managers...

About As Sensible
So it has been suggested that David Beckham should be the next manager as he "looks good in a suit", is "quite famous" and "the players like him"
How about Cheryl Tweedy or Vanessa Perroncel?
Hugh Wright
Where To Begin?
I actually really enjoyed John Nic's article about the Ingerland/England split yesterday. Didn't think he'd then have his entire argument crystallised and bolstered by that complete load of utter tosh in the Sun, though. Seriously, where do you begin with the idea of Beckham as manager?
I actually don't know where to start. The very idea just makes me so cross. It's the pinnacle of Ingerland stupidity to suggest it, and exemplifies why at least this part of the media needs a damn good shoeing, followed by its being boycotted by anyone and everyone who has even the remotest chance of having two brain cells clunk together to form any type of coherent thought.
What makes me even angrier about this is the fact that the best way I can summarise how I feel about it is to revert to the nonsense language so beloved of knuckle-dragging Ingerlanders, txtspk, by saying:
FFS.
Andy, Gooner in Colchester
...What the hell, if Beckham became the next England manager, I really wouldn't be arsed with the national team anymore. We'd just be a laughing stock.
One of the main problems people identified is that the players don't do it on the pitch, but because they're famous and live on past glories they get in the team, and that has to change, then in the next breath say Beckham should be manager, why, because he's famous and lives on past glories. How the hell is he supposed to fit it in, with his media marketing of playing for AC Milan and LA Galaxy.
I knew the Sun was sensationalist and for the mentally challenged, but this sinks to a new low, and anyone who thinks it's a good idea should go have a kick about on the motorway.
Phill - Now more disillusioned with England, please bring on the 14th August.

Which is fine for the likes of the japs, short passes/workrate/bang it from distance but Diego told me its a pain for the like of me or Juan Seb Veron who fancy themselves to be a bit skillfull/creative

AS FAR AS THE BALL IS CONCERNED
Especially this but also most other balls in last 5-10 years
If YOU put bend on it and it bends = skill
If YOU hit it straight and it bends = a bollox of a game that might as well be a computer game for the monkeys watching on their highdef tv's
so the question is are you a monkey throwing shit at the tv or would you like the ball to do what the person hitting it wants it to do?

Anyone on the BBV know the ins-and-outs of the motor trade? I've a 1999 Hyundai Coupe with 111,000 on the clock, it might be worth between €1,000 - €1,500 (I've honestly no clue!); I want to sell / trade-in this car and then buy a 2003 / 2004 saloon (maybe a 3-series BMW) for €7,500 or so. How hard would it be to sell such a old car privately via Carzone and would any second-hand dealer give me much joy if I attempted to trade it in against whatever saloon I'm after? If anyone can help that would be great!

No idea on valuation. Have a look on done deal and pick a reasonable point from there. Probably effectively worthless as a trade in.May you live in interesting times!

I'm delighted to see Paraguay go through, I think they can give the winner of this evenings game a very tough time, their defense is the best in the tournament imo.
A bit disappointed with them up front, there is very little movement off the ball, they could improve that they would have a real shout at winning it imo.'Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you' - Bill Belichick

You need to download a piece of software to play it, it effectively tricks the computer into thinking the iso imags is the cd.
Google it, theres loads of programs that'll run it for you.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
