My highlight for this week is Argentina-Iceland coming up.

Doctor “Do you want antibiotics”

Me “I don’t think so, do I need them?”

Doctor “No….ah, your British. Like the Swiss you use antibiotics wisely. The French and Italians always ask”

The “other one” erupted on Monday in the Go / Weiqi / Baduk community. In case you don’t know, Go is a mind-sport, an abstract board game, in which players take turns to place stones to surround the area of a square board. The player who…[Read more]

I’m very sorry about your sister

I don’t think that being financially dependent has to be a bad thing if both partners go about it the right way. I’ve only been dependent on OH for money for a comparatively short time but I have my own pension and savings etc because this seems like the sensible option. I will be working again soon, all being…

Is this true? I am completely independent as are most, if not all, the women I know so are there a lot of disappointed men about?

In my experience, men are not after women who want to languish around the house doing nothing but rather expect their partners to work, whether…[Read more]

Keep on defending a complete arsehole, it does not paint you in a good light.

@connie might it be that you actually just don’t like Mr.Neville, irrespective of a joke he may have posted years ago. And now this storm in a tea-cup is serving as a convenient hammer to bash him with? Sexual deviancy, or claims of misogynistic behaviour are damn…[Read more]

I also still maintain that the very idea that such a joke could be appropriate and funny tells you something about the “lad culture” and the attitudes towards women ingrained in football

@connie Do you not see the hypocrisy in that vs it being ok to make jokes about AIDS patients like you said you do in your other post?

Pogba and Matic are far too strong. I’d be amazed if they made second. Letting Cann go and you’ve no power in the midfield.

It’s United and Chelsea.

Liverpool have conceded 25 goals, United 16, Chelsea 16, City 13. That’s significantly more.

There attacking play is great but they leave…[Read more]

I had a cyst on mine, the Dr took it very seriously and wanted to remove the coxyx! Sadly this would have meant the end of soccer for me, so I refused his kind offer, despite dire warnings that I would one day crawl back to him and beg him to do the…

They were useful at first, but as I got stronger I had little, then no, need for them. I took them back to the hospital when I went to my follow-up appointment. I left them in giant cage filled with dozens of the things, just outside the therapy department. It must make…[Read more]
