Anyone in here a football (or, *sigh*, soccer) fan?

People all over the world, let's have a chat about the wonderful game of football? Or soccer as the Americans call it?
I love it personally (obviously otherwise there would be no point to this thread!)
My home team is Stoke City FC, and yes, I know, we've been getting some real bad press lately ever since the unfortunate leg-break incident (which, I accept it was reckless and a really bad tackle, but absolutely not intentional!!)
Also, who do you think will win the World Cup this summer? I personally cannot wait for it!! Sitting in my garden in the sun, with a nice cold glass of Apple Cider, watching the World Cup on TV!

I'm excited by the world cup as well.....its so open this year as a number of great teams that could win it. Looking forward to sitting in the sun and watching it (on holiday during part of world cup)
Rick
p.s. I support Liverpool....been a bad season, hopefully with a better finish

well i am a barca fan, and play for my college football team.
dont really enjoy watching matches on tv....
i rather prefer to play.......

I'm a Norwich city fan and looking forward to the world cup almost as much as being promoted at the end of the season!

Rather play myself. Played college footie when I was at college and also play for local team (Whiteabbey swifts). My playing days (except 5-a-side) are over unfortunately due to age and family

A proud Galatasaray fan here. Must say that i started to lose faith in it cause of the riggings lately...

I'm not really into football, but still watch the world cup...
...an what's for sure: Germany will win!

I'm an Arsenal fan. Going on current form i'd say this years WC will go to either Brasil or Spain.

im a long standing arsenal fan...GO GUNNERSSSS
world cup is gonna be amazing but i think spain and england will once again underacheive and lose in either the quarters or semis. not sure who i want to win since france (i support them) doesnt look likely to win. I just want a great competition with lots of flair and goals

I am a Liverpool fan, good to see no one is slagging others here.

Yes, I hope this also continues
As for who will win the world cup....personally I think its open this year. A lot of strong teams and some of the bigger names under achieving (Italy, Argentina) in qualifiers.
Best bet would be one of the following........Brazil, Spain, England, Germany
One team which should be there is Ireland........what happened to Ireland was a disgrace IMHO......FIFA should be ashamed as well as France & Thiery Henry

I played football since I was 6 yeras old. Two days ago I returned from hospital after my first knee surgery and now I am waiting for second surgery. :/
Sometimes football can be really painfull.
BTW, lets see how will my home country(Slovakia) struggle on their first world cup.

Football? Never heard of it:

Football in my country is more than a passion it's almost religion. Honduras, is going back to the world cup since 1982!!!!. And do you know with what team we are going to play our first game......SPAIN...OMG...tough team...right. I still play soccer with my friends (I'm 30)...45 minutes the most...since my lungs and my body react like a 90 year old granny

How come?

I want a job like...

A cubical job. Where you go and sit in a cubical and have your own desktop and a BlackBerry for your job and you wear a suit everyday with a nice view over DownTown Chicago and you travel a lot to foreign places with good food.
What kinda positions have this?

Hmmm. Managing director doesn't have to work in a cubicle, they get an office with a view
To get a job like that, how about IT Manager, or Director of Technology? Trouble with other jobs would be lack of foreign travel (you need to be at management level or above to get some of the best hotels)

I had a cubicle job once. I worked for a telemarketing firm selling credit cards (cold calls, called 3 dead people my first day). I have since worked for a company doing electronic assembly and testing, as well as several auto shops. Currently I drive for a tire wholesaler and I love it.
I get to see the most beautiful state upclose:

The food is gourmet quality (e.g. omelet bar, chefs that make custom sandwiches for you, sashimi, free drinks 24/7, free snacks of all sorts 24/7.
The 7 person conference bicycles
Every Friday, Larry, Sergei, or Eric takes questions from us (in person), and we get free beer (e.g. Downtown Brown)
Gyms all over
Free Laundry done for us
Discounted massages
Refrigerators with assorted Odwallas in every building
Free bicycles that we can just get on and ride to different buildings
Always pickup soccer games, or basketball games going on
Amazing free automated massage chairs in every building
Lap pool, volleyball court, tennis court, basketball court, etc.
You can bring your dog with you to the office every day (1 out of 4 employees always has their dog with them)
Free shuttle to and from work everyday. (The shuttle has wi-fi). It even goes to SF.

The video that was released last night by a different uploader has the names of every single person in that video. They're from chicago.

I was bullied at school alot as a child.
Today i am goth.. i am a Metal head.
How did i deal with my bullies? i took them on one by one.. brought their little level back down and beat them up.

Remember in junior high this kid from special ed decided to pick a fight with me, he ended up smacking me causing my glasses to fall off, and his special ed buddies decided to destroy them, I really didn't want to punch the kid, I punched him once, the nurse later told me I broke his rib. lol

Yes.
Don't let them get you down... get even.
If they prefer to ambush you ambush them.
There are many ways to get even.
If you can play "Lol, Dota, Hon, SoTiS" and manage to get a killing spree.. you should damn well be able to stack the odds against them.
Just remember... you are not the same trash that they are.
Take your light saber, strike them down with all your anger and your walk to the darkside will be complete.
it is your destiny.

It's disgusting but thankfully they were just that dumb to provide the video that has now condemned them. I hope the authorities throw the book at them.

I always taught my kids to punch a bully in the face in front everybody and I wont be mad at them. Ill deal with the school, don't let some one pick one you like that (it will also allow other bullys to take notice and join in) My son did slap the **** out of one on the bus, I didn't condone it. A bully will leave you alone if you let them know you wont take it weather they are bigger or not. They'll find another wimp to pick on that will allow it. Its that simple.
Nothing like teaching kids self confidence and how to handle themselves in an uncomfortable situation inste of playing victim like our culture is pushing.

So is like bullying that prominent in America? And that drastic? Man, the seven years I've been in my high school, I've never heard an incident of someone getting ganged, but wow... Im having second thoughts about going to the US for college...

Bullying is usually at the high school level, Hormones are high, insecurities are popping up, and street violence follows the students into class.
Most of the trouble makers don't graduate high school much less make it to college.

Ah I remember High School. Some kid (remember, bigger than me) didn't like something I said. During class threatened me that I'll get beat up. I ignored him. In the next few days I always saw him with his buddies, I was always alone in the staircase, but his buddies had too much respect to touch me. It's fun being smart enough to control the crowd with just your posture. lol

Any e-cig members here?

I have recently made the switch from stinky "analog" or regular cigarettes and love it. I got a Joyetech eGo-t starter set for myself and the wife because it came with two complete vaporizers. Just wonder I g if there were any members here who use PV's and what flavors or strengths you use.
Thanks,
BZ
Yes it was tested on animals, didn't fit.

I'm a fan of the Blu myself (never was a cigarette smoker but I like it for when I'm drinking and it's perfectly fine to use indoors).

I tried an e-cig, and the real thing is better for me. Yes, this is me quitting smoking lol. I am at a stage where I only smoke when I want to, not when I have to. I can go on for days not smoking, then one day I'll just decide to smoke one.

I tried an e-cig for a bit and got bored with it. About a month or two after that I didn't feel like buying cigs anymore so I just stopped smoking.

Aren't they worse for you than actual cigarettes?

I smoke like there's no tomorrow.
My wife has e-cigs, but they're menthol. Barf.

Sort of. There's nothing that will ever give you the same taste as a real ciggy. My thing is, I've smoked almost every day since i was 14 and I'm 29 now. I did quit in basic training because I couldn't get any. Sadly I picked em back up.
There are flavors with and without nicotine in them. I have talked to some people that haven't smoked ever but picked up a PV because the flavors you could use.
Personally, I've had 4 ciggys in the last week and felt like trash after. So far I've tried a menthol, regular, apple martini, my dew, caramel apple, and a sorta camel gold flavor.
All flavors seem to have a sweet taste but, my lungs feel better and the morning breath is not near as bad as before.
Besides, when a customer comes into where I work and they just got done smoking, it smells like a bad barbecue.
If you've ever smelled "Liquid Smoke" (for cooking) its strong lime that. Never realized I smelled like that......

Thanks matey. I need to quit the cigs and was thinking of giving these a try. Guess you can get them in the UK

I am! I have been vaping for about 5-6 months now. www.totallywicked-eliquid.com is a pretty nice site for hardware, and myfreedomsmokes.com is a great site for ejuice and their pretty reasonable on prices, they also sell hardware but I like the quality of totally wicked. I also mix my own juice, once you get a little more experieced I would look into it. It saves money to mix your own and you can mix to basically any strength you like. Myfreedomsmokes carrys all of the diy yourself items you would need.
Here's a pic of part of my collection.

The strengths are something you'll wanna play with, I started on 24mg, and now I'm using 16-18mg depending on certain flavors. Also I like VG based juice, they tend to produce a little more vapor.

I started with..... ummmm...... 20 or 30mg and I gotta say there is little to no menthol in the "Cowboy Menthol" that I got. I deff need to look into the whole day thing. I have a eGo-T myself. Wide drip-tip tank. My wife has the exact same setup and we both have had them for the same time. Hers leaks like a sieve. The local shop said the atomizer melts the tip and gave her a rubber like cap for it. Still leaks. Also have a clear tank but I think something wrong with that one. Little to no smoke there......
Anyways, any samples in your cupboard?

i mean arent they more harmful to you? you're smoking an electronic!
especially those e-cigs that you can charge through USB (rofl rofl rofl)

Nope, as far as i know you only get steam and nicotine in you, while with regular tobacco you'll get some nicotine, some benzen, half a horse and a dead baby seal in your lungs.

don't forget the fiber glass! :good:

There's that and you can order or make your own mixes where there is no nicotine content. Just whatever flavor you want. Like apple pie or Mt. Dew......
And let's not forget other additive lime formaldehyde. You know, the stuff they pump thru dead bodies after the autopsy?

I know the Blu ecig is the bottom of the totem pole, but i like them... Simple and cheap. Havent smoked an analog cig in 6+ months.

Launched Android Figurine into "Space" .. kinda.

I have been working on a project to launch an Andrew Bell Collectible Android Figurine aboard a model rocket and "return him safely to earth" (in the spirit of the NASA Apollo missions). The rocket is named "Android1" and the Android Figurine is referred to as an "As-droid-naut". Anyway - I've had three successful launches of the rocket and the "as-droid-naut". The latest launch was this past weekend and I crushed my previous telemetry! 1438' @ 226 mph experiencing 13.3g's! Though I'd share the pix and vids with yinz.
I put together a website (personal - no ads - no money making stuff) to document it all: http://www.ANDRAC.co
Last weekend's flight: YouTube
Pix & Telemetry of the three flights are at: ANDRAC-mission-gallery - ANDRAC
Got some amazing (lucky) shots of the Android (As-droid-naut) ejecting @ 1438' in the Encore Flight. Here is my favorite (the nose cone is trailing the rocket now, because of the ejection event IE: nose cone pops off to allow chutes and As-droid-naut ejection):

My mom has one of the shuttles I built sitting on her desk. I say one of cause I made quite a few. Got plans online of different builds and went to town. It's hard finding rockets in model shops nowadays. Kids don't do it anymore. Just us old folks. Been needing something to peace my mind lately, think I'm gonna build another rocket.

That's something I've wanted to get into but never had the money. RC trucks. Uncle raced em for a bit, got to drive his, but that's as far as I've gotten.
Hobby lobbies around here don't have much selection. They don't even have multi stage rockets anymore. They don't even have the booster engines if you wanted to buy for the rockets you had from old. Haven't really checked into the hobby shops for em though. But man building your own and making multi stage rockets that separate in pieces is the awesome. It's just a progression. You'll get there if you stick with it. Wanting bigger and higher. Then you build something like this guy did. Addicting man.

rc is very addicting also and it does cost a lot thats one of the reasons i stopped doing it. i had sh!t tones of money in the jato, my revo was only half done. but now if my lil boy wants to do it when he gets older im a master builder now so we can fly right into it lol!

Careful - rocket launching seriously addictive!!! It jacks with your mind too - Every field I drive by now becomes a possible launch site candidate and I immediately start looking for power lines, high buildings, launch obstacles, etc.
Thanks for the kind words!

What is the legality of launching model rockets? Do you have to let the FAA and/or local authorities know about this? Also I'm pretty sure I'd get busted here in NYC for launching something like that, but I remember launching bottle rockets back in Junior High, and mine flew the highest.
