That's one interpretation. You could also say the sport is so specialized that it is drained of personal brilliance and initiative and is instead governed by the physical limitations of the athletes, and that in their drive for reliable plays, coaches have created a game where every variable apart from pass and catch is eliminated.

Once again, don't get me wrong: football coaches would love to do that, too, and up to a certain point, perfection is awesome and makes for an entertaining game. But the breaks in the NFL and NCAA football games are at the least as frequent and as long lasting as the "injury breaks" and time needed for free kicks in football (which we use to grab a beer and for toilet breaks), and that's not even counting time out, video reffing (which soccer should introduce asap) and the breaks between quarters, the time out being your complaint.

Err I didn't complain about the time out, you did. I was talking about the whole culture of faking injuries to try and get the other team in trouble that I have seen happen in the few games I have watched. (There was this awesome Irish pub I used to go to after work sometimes and if there was a game going on they had it on)

I have awesome new tv (3D and all that jazz), brand new Xbox with Kinects AND there's a thunderstorm outside. *sigh* Life is good.

I feel like I've been a bit productive over the last week.

Sorted and ordered a computer for Sombra - Should be an epically awesome computer

Sorted my characters for both the D&D games I have coming up - Both 4th Ed: Level 21 Human Monk who moves a crazy, crazy amount and a level 4 Shifter Barbarian/Warden hybrid with a really large hammer, in case anyone was interested

And I levelled up one of my other characters for shits and giggles
Helped Shiara with her characters - Made like 5 dummy characters in the process

The house is nice and clean.
Finished reading all the books set in the Mistborn universe.
Finally started reading one Neil Gaiman's books - I've only been meaning to do that for about 10 years

On top of all of that, I've been gifted a bunch of games on Steam from several friends (thanks again!) and I have the start of a three day LAN at a friends place tomorrow

And I'm typing this while I'm in a Google Hangout by proxy (Shiara is in it and I'm in the background)

Our financial man (alpha male hetero type) thought I was gay, which made for an extremely entertaining conversation about relationships and dating before I robbed him of that notion.

Hilarious. I'm still waiting for that conversation with my brother.

Who I'm 90% sure is gay. But he keeps trying to disprove it by introducing me to his 'hot' friends.

NONE OF WHOM ARE REMOTELY ATTRACTIVE.

Well, might be he has bad taste... One of my mates is a quite attractive guy (both in my estimate and that of other mutual male friends and in that of most women who have seen him) and he has a truly atrocious taste in women, his girlfriend excepted. Or is a realist and shags everything he can instead of pining for the unattainable. Or he's gay, of course.

Need to get a webcam good man Coco

Also I have gotten to the interview stage in my PGCE application process. Im glad ive come this far but am now nervous as there will be a maths and english test on the day that can take upto two hours. Im not so much worried about the English one but the maths one (havnt done maths in half a decade) is worrying me.

Could any pretty/handsome member of the forum, who is ofc pretty/handsome, help me in this regard with either experience or simply a link to a suitable site? As always you are pretty/handsome.

Math helps? Sure! Just remember for any given numbers, as the operations get more complicated the answers get more ridiculous but when you think all is lost there's a nice rosy patch at the end, so don't give up!

2 + 3 = 5
2 - 3 = -1
2 x 3 = 6
2 ÷ 3 = 0.666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666

A Celtic victory and having points in hand. Though seeing half the comments on Facebook afterwards from bitter losers (or loosers as they call themselves) does piss me off, it's a game, stop acting like someone murdered your children and please start spelling properly.

But it *was* a helpful reply, it tells you to never give up even if you start getting impossibly hard questions because the last ones at the back of the exam might be really easy!
