The speed of light is relative to the speed of light passing through a different medium. (If I've understood your use of the word "relative" correctly.) Think of "C" as an upper limit for the speed anything can move, Like zero is the slowest. The example I had in my head was that a car is traveling along a road and is overtaken by another car, now the speed of the overtaking car is obviously dependent on who is observing it, e.g car b is traveling at 20mph relative to car a but 80mph relative to someone who is at rest on the side of the road. Take it to extremes though and imagine the car is traveling at 180,000 miles per second and flicks on its headlights, it doesn't matter whether you are in the car or observing from the side of the road the light still travels at 186,000 miles per second. I guess this goes someway to explaining why time slows down when approaching the speed of light because when you travel faster in space, time must slow down to compensate. Fascinating stuff which I'm only just starting to get my head around. Nail head, pretty much. Light is essentially the base plane of relativity, no matter what speed you're travelling at. If you're travelling at the speed of light, the light will move away from you, at the speed of light, but will also travel at the same speed for someone standing still. Or as put in the theory of special relativity, The speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of the relative motion or of the motion of the light source. It's been a while since I did studied relativity, so I can't remember too much about it, but time only slows for the observer, which is why light stays the same in every plane, it's a physical constant, so it's constant for everyone. Time slows simply because when you're going so fast, everything else seems to be going incredibly slowly, but to them they are still travelling normally. It's very complicated, obviously Essentially, light may have a speed, but it's also a universal constant, so doesn't change. In Layman's terms, 1 second is the same speed for everybody, but appears to travel at different speeds when observed by others not travelling at the same speed. I've probably complicated things more, as I said I can't remember it too clearly, but I hope that helps somewhat. It's very interesting to learn about, but very difficult too.

Can't wait to get this game! Looks like it's just a playable version of the show, which would be brilliant. The 4th of March is also Pancake day, it will be a good day

RVP has played 15 league games this year and scored 11, I wish our effortless striker had a similar record

He has, but then said he'd like to play against Strachan and Scotland after the draw, so is considering coming out of retirement. If he can play Internationals, and Internationals only as he no longer likes domestic football, he'll most likely play, especially against Scotland and Ireland.

If that's a worry, surely they could organise some sort of yearly friendly against the big teams?

He's at the front, but the cameraman was too tall to get him in the photo.

To be fair, they've not won since he was appointed. Also just noticed he was appointed on my birthday, couldn't have asked for much of a better present Maybe next year Blues will get dissolved...

Soooooo, when's Moyes getting the boot then?

Whilst I agree to some extent with the rest of your post, I think a midfielder was a bigger priority, though it wasn't hugely clear in the summer, I don't think Lambert could have done much else with the Tonev situation. How would the fans have reacted if it was revealed that Petrov, just weeks after becoming a part of the backroom staff, suggested a player that he thought would be good for Villa, only to be rejected by Lambert? I'm sure that would have gone down like a lead balloon. Of course he would have scouted him with other scouts, or at least you'd hope, but it was also the off season, so not much to go on really. Maybe not the right reason to buy someone, but it was a risk, based on Petrov's judgement being sound, and it has backfired. But I reckon they're might have been some grumbles if we didn't sign him as Petrov suggested him.

I totally agree. Does Randy agree though …. or is he still sorting that new contract out? I don't think he ever was.

Not forgetting players like Burns, Ford and Watson who haven't really played for England yet too. Just looking at our current backs, I think we have a really exciting 5-10 years ahead of us (providing Youngs finds form again): 9. Youngs(24), 10. Farrell(22)/Ford(20)/Burns(23), 11. May(23)/Yarde(21), 12. Tuilagi(22)/Twelvetrees(25), 13. Burrell(26)/Eastmond(22), 14. Nowell(20)/Watson(19), 15. Brown (28)/Goode(25). A very young and exciting group of backs, all except Brown could easily play for another 8-10 years, so we could do with finding an up and coming FB, although Joseph can play FB too I think, and he's only 22. And not to mention forwards aged 25 and under include - Marler, Vunipola (both), Launchbury, Lawes, and Morgan, plus Kvesic and Thomas who are in the current squad, but I've not seen much of them. I'm getting excited about the Wales game now, I think we'll be setting up the Italy game as the Championship clincher

He was crap, not because of shit tactics, but because he just doesn't care anymore. Simple as that imo. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but when the game finished, Benteke instantly walked off the pitch and down the tunnel whilst the rest of the team "faced the music" so to speak and clapped the crowd and shook hands with the Newcastle players. He may have been gutted we lost, but I doubt he was anymore gutted than the rest of the team that he didn't have time for the thousands of fans who travelled up to Newcastle for the game. Also, he was lazy on Sunday. Plenty of times he got played into similar positions to when he treated Smalling like a paper bag, and he just sort of jogged there and did nothing. Not forgetting how he butchered a 3v2 with a lazy pass straight at Williamson. He was lazy and obviously doesn't care anymore. He's gone, mentally, and he's just waiting until he gets a move in the summer, which with his current form, he's gonna be very surprised when he doesn't get it. And yet Bennett was solely blamed for the goal for doing the same thing despite Bacuna and Vlaar's awful defending?

brazil was only candidate as FIFA made them the only one Argentina, Brazil and Colombia wanted it and CONMEBOL unanimously agreed that Brazil should host, so only Brazil bid. Colombia also bid but withdrew, and even if they hadn't Brazil would've been the better option.

Brazil was the only candidate, FIFA had no choice really.

Hodgson has said he might employ a "penalty psychologist" for the world cup. Because that's what we need Why not just focus on winning the game within 120 minutes?

We'll have to play Morgan then, not a bad replacement I'm sure many teams would love to in be our situation with our No.8's. Good news about Manu too, Tigers could do with him too. I'd love to see a centre partnership of him and Burrell, or him and Twelvetrees, again not a bad situation we find ourselves in, I think this England team is shaping up to be the best in recent times, possibly since 2003.

Dead leg I think, shouldn't be out for too long, hopefully.

Was easily our best player today imo. Some of his touches were fantastic, he was constantly making space for himself and the rest of the midfield, made some nice passes and even some good tackles. In essence, he dictated the midfield today. Hopefully he'll be back soon, I never want to see Delph that close to our box again. The midfield just looked lost without him and didn't really know what to do.

Sorry, edited it now, but he's already a bit of a badass anyway

When I was 6, I dropped a ceramic piggy bank, it shattered and a huge, sharp piece caught my hand and almost cut off my thumb. On Mother's day too, what lovely present

This is the main thing that bugs me about the show.

So people who don't go to the games shouldn't have their views taken as seriously? I don't think that was the original point being made. It was very much what was implied. The whole point of "it's easier to patient if you don't go to games", was very much in the manner of, if you went to games you'd be much more unhappy, which implies that if you don't go to games your patience is less valid. It implies people are only patient because they don't/can't go to games.

So people who don't go to the games shouldn't have their views taken as seriously?

So because I'm a student who lives 4 hours away from Birmingham, my view are less valid? Watching on TV and streams is the only way I can watch Villa anymore, but because I don't/can't go to games, my patience means less? Bollocks. I'm going this weekend as it's my first chance to got in three years, so will my patience be valid come Monday if I still believe Lambert is the right/best man for the job currently? And just to clarify, any sentence that starts with "This isn't/I'm not, but..." usually is.
