Enjoy the holidays lads!

What are you lot doing here on Christmas anyway?

Says in one place he cant be bothered to dig up evidence yet goes on to claim whatever he says are all facts Textbook bigotry. There's enough reading available on Ayesha's marriage, or other accusations like Muhammad being a warlord, to make up your mind. Or at least form an educated opinion. Sources other than the Guardian too believe it or not. People posting fashionable one line derogatory remarks are rarely well read though. Like I've always said, people dont require religion to harbor intolerant, extremist, bigoted, racist tendencies. And while WWII the world seems to have made a genuine effort to curb these sentiments on a state level at the very least, we now have occurrences such as the rise of Trump which just goes to show you that they do still simmer in a lot of quarters. I think all you can do in the end is try to make sure you dont go down the same road

Whoopsies Gemmill's right about the weirdos in audit too. Interesting how accountants being weird and boring is a trend that encompasses geographical/cultural boundaries High suicide rate so...

Yes exactly PwC Its mental because all the tax guys at the firm did was fanny around the tax authority officials tickling their balls hoping to get extensions on deadlines for their clients.

Myself know a couple of people who dont need to at all but do. One worked as a tax associate dealing with miserable public sector clients basically just filing appeal upon appeal for them. While his family was asking him to come manage the hectares of agricultural land he owned, or any of the hospitals or schools etc they were running in the area. Thought it might not have been true until the day I was passing by the area and he invited me to see 'his lands'. Tax associate ffs

Yep! Which brings you to think. How many of us would immediately give up their jobs supposing there was a significant cash windfall out of nowhere suddenly? Rich aunt's will or whatever. I think I'd be handing in my notice as soon as gauging that I'd be able to live off it. Even though I dont really have a major hobby or a business idea etc that I could work on immediately, but the idea of sitting back and having time to think doing about whatever the hell you want is hugely appealing

We should be looking at a creative CM with a view to next year anyway.

Wonder what Rafa could get out of Anita in that role.

Or behind 4 of them

- best all round poster (football): Tooj (he likes Iniesta)/Fish (bite me)/ewerk - best all round poster (general): HF/Rayvin/Alex - best poster in 2 lines or less: Ant - funniest poster: Fish (Gemmill/HMHM prior to the Dummett thread) - best fact checker: HF - most likely to be rounded up by the CIA: Parky - most likely to be rounded up by jihadists: Renton, Chez - most likely to be rounded up by jihadists and the CIA: Parky - biggest hipster wanker: Gloom, Straightedge Wizard - best user of spoiler tags: MF - most missed former poster: Gejon - Better tweeter than poster: Tom

The term you're looking for is avid reader

I guess it varies from person to person though. Had a few months off at the start of the year before starting a new job and loved every minute of it. Was nearly 5 months in fact and barely noticed them fly by

Although I do loath much of the MSM's role in the Afghan,Iraq, Palestine and other middle east debacles cant help but agree there's still more awareness of the 'other side's' point of view in Western countries. Not sure about the US, they dont seem to give a shite about what they bomb generally, but Europeans do seem to be more aware. I remember that march Chez mentioned. While the muslim and Russian/China media likes to blame everything on the US and its allies I dont remember a single large protest/movement by any group here. In fact we became US 'allies' providing military bases, intelligence and logistics in the Afghan invasion after being threatened/bribed by the Bush administration. Something people here conveniently forget when blaming the whole Afghan mess and subsequent fallout on the US.

And its a problem thats been highlighted every season since Viera/Gilberto era pretty much. Wenger is a stubborn stubborn man though.

Cheers

Can we change the thread title to Precedent Trump please?

They've managed to make it work as a whole though, and I think the disappointment that was Episode 7 has a lot to do with better reviews for this one. I do agree that Disney will ruin it in the end though, from what we've seen so far. At most they should filmed 3 more titles and wrapped it up with episode 9.

A lot of Parky's points are valid but I still enjoyed the movie a lot

Didnt Mourinho have a very poor head to heard record against him at Real? I think he left because there really was nothing left for him to do there. Makes sense. Dont really watch a lot of Bundesliga so cant comment on his time at Bayern much. But I like him for his time at Barca. It was the best football I've seen and most likely will ever. Yes it was a ridiculously talented side but he got them playing at their best consistently including the lesser known fringe players. Enrique has gone with a more direct approach, not anywhere near as nice to see. I'd make a bigger case for them winning matches mostly because of their stars these days as compared to Pep's time. I think the footballing philosophy was far more evident in play under Guardiola and that says something about a coach when a team's got that many stars in it. He'll do well at City imo if he gets the time. Agree with Tooj here, 2-3 years. When he's drilled his way of doing things into the place. City have a good many players in the latter stages of successful careers. Harder to get them to play a different way. Sounds like an excuse but he is one of these coaches who needs the players to buy into his way of playing.

Couldnt watch the game but nice to see things are back in order.

:lol:

See there's my point, Bernard had to play with O'Brien and Bramble and what not Okay not going to debate this after forgetting the guy's name I guess most of the defensive errors I can recall from that time were by the above two, and Bernard WAS quality going forward Cant have many complaints with Enrique, he was quality. Before shaving his head and being shite for Liverpool.
