I fall asleep in the cinema too often for my liking, because I'd have been at the pub beforehand. Slept through the Hunger Games 2.

Advertising for it is everywhere and even my best female friend here got it done. It does seem to be mainly facial work, rarely have I seen Korean women with boob jobs.

The truly shocking thing was one of my FOUR years old student got the double eyelid surgery done!!!! Apparently, her mum justified it to the teacher by saying that her eyelashes were too long and it was irritating the girl. the teacher told me that the girl had never said anything about it before bothering her.

I just drove past Leckwith. The Cardiff City name now lit up in blue on the stadium. Bet they feel proper stupid for putting those red seats in.

I don't think I've ever fallen asleep in the cinema. Almost did during my 2nd viewing of TDKR tho, but that was because I didnt get any sleep the night before
and it's a really dull film sometimes
. My friend did tho :lol

Films I've tried to fall asleep to but couldn't recently:

Transformers 2/4
Lucy

The only time I ever fell asleep in the cinema is during PoTC At World's End, the maelstrom scene was visually impressive but over-long and tedious. When I woke up it was still going on

Sounds like the police have escalated things. Reports the suspects have been detained/killed now.

Hopefully this is the end of it!

I just read that the brothers have been confirmed to be dead.

Like you said, hopefully this is the end. I have a few family and friends who live in Paris, I know most of them are safe but it is worrying.

Roma are dead, too. they are playing some horrible football this year compared to last, and the defence is horrendous at times. I am so glad Iturbe didn't sign with Juve, what a bust, like I knew he would be.

It doesn't matter, when you've got the refs and FIGC on your side, innit. Roma must've stolen at least six points in the last five matches. At least.

City really should be under investigation for this Lampard thing. It's extraordinarily shady.
Click to expand...

No it isn't, but a lot of people probably think it is. Using this logic people are going to shit if City or Chelsea (and any other club) actually go for Messi this summer using the way they can get around FFP. The only thing that would make it difficult for them would be the 300million wages over 6 years.

You now have big money owners of football clubs and they understand how big business works and have had enough time to get their head around the rules and regulations. There is a pretty standard practice for keeping things off one companies books and that is to use another company to purchase the goods then contractually give it to the company that wants it, it is now legally that companies but they didn't pay for it. To use a third party company wouldn't be possible (though it might) and to use another football club would be stupid, however Fordstam Limited or City Football Group could buy a footballers contract then have them sign with either Chelsea or City then those teams would be the contractual owners and then be responsible. This is quite a simple explanation but is not dissimilar to how Roman Abramovich turned Chelsea's debt into equity and stuck it with Fordstam Limited. City have just done this with Lampard but on a free and the City Football Group is better set up as it isn't just a holding company, if FIFA, the FA or UEFA want to go after either for it they will cause one hell of a mess as pretty much all clubs use the parent companies to move things around to make them look better and would also call into question their own organisations and how they do business at the moment the onus is on the clubs not the owners. MCFC could also do it where the City Football Group buy the player they want then MCFC pay back the owner company in instalments.

It might even be possible to use a third party even with the rules against it, as football clubs are still able to purchase footballers on third party contracts, as far as I know there doesn't seem to be any reason why a third party couldn't fully buy out a contract then fully transfer that to another club acting as a middleman and relinquishing ownership.

Third party ownership is now entirely illegal in football. Clubs will no longer be able to buy on third party contracts and players contracts with third parties will be considered void.

Edit - Correction, illegal from May 2015. Any TPO deals signed between now and then can be for no longer than 12 months.

Not so much Islam as a religion. But those imams who give hate speeches and influence youngsters. If it were possible to pinpoint exact numbers on the group of extremists I'm convinced it would be a pretty small percentage of the Islam community. And it's extremely hard to tackle them. These guys are better organised than the bloody mob.

Minor input lag > screen tearing by a wide margin.

It's only like what, 15-20ms in most cases right? For a SP game that's nothing.

I actually don't think they need to.

The PR around it has been monumentally fucking stupid, like, levels of stupidity that no-one could have comprehended they would show and someone should probably get the sack.

But City own the New York club, they can do whatever they want and I highly doubt Frank has done anything he didn't want to, he's still playing in the Premier League and perhaps he was a bit surprised that he could still contribute like he has and the Premier League were also aware it wasn't a loan deal its not like it was hushed up from the powers that be.

The only thing thats come from this really is that they've just made NYCFC look like a joke club which was probably going to happen sooner or later tbh and that Lampard has probably slightly affected his own reputation.

Its frustrating I know, but there are a billion muslims on the planet, from various parts, from diverse cultures. Islam has been around for a very long time these cunting savages dont speak for all muslims, much like Wetboro doesn't speak for all Christians

Within all that rambling incoherence you have not dealt with the key issues of why there are three conflicting stories and multiple changes to stories (especially if everything they've done is above board) nor have you explained why third party ownership or indeed the use of holding companies to hold player contracts is relevant to the inconsistencies in the stories told about Lampard's contract status. Not to mention that corporate shenanigans with contract ownership would make much more sense if Lampard was on especially high wages or attracted a large transfer fee. In the context of City he is not.

By now you'll need at least a century for damage control. So many (ignorant) people will lump all Muslims together judging by the actions of those very few maniacs. It's unfortunate.
