already given up on fantasy football with a D grade and Sam Bradford as QB2, so sure, ill give this a go

my flight arrives in at 7, you dont want to postpone the draft 30 mins so i can do it on my phone?

Gone from a moto G to a Oneplus One and struggling with the size of it. Will give it some time but it is really awkward to use with one hand. Otherwise a nice phone.

does first pick in the first round get first or last pick in the 2nd round? presume last?

Dont think i will be able to attend the Draft on Sunday but would like to know what draft position prior if possible, might make my pre selection a little different

Is that the same as last year?

When is the draft position decided?

The Google photos app created a new 'story' for me the other day, based on my visit to China. Some would consider this intrusive, but I think it's incredible. 

 

Using my location data from my mobile, it's given me a day by day photo diary of my trip, with incredible animated transitions that show the places I've been on the maps, the districts, restaurants. It evens tells me what time I went to different places, and long journeys I made on the map. It's scarily accurate and freakishly cool. This is a google photos 'story'. I took loads of 10 second videos of in China, to create a sort of vignette video of the trip but never got round to it, this is just as good. 

 

I would never have the inclination to do one of those myself, but it's been done for me, and probably just a cool as I could do myself. It's even discarded blurry pictures etc and used photos I would have picked as the best. Along side the fact you can automatically upload all your photos to G+, this is another crazy good feature of G+/photos. 

 

(But my S2 is finally dying, lagging like crazy on CM. Gonna have to bite the bullet soon, or when the One Plus One becomes available) 

My Oneplus One is at the post office. I randomly got in invite after messaging asking how one gets one if they dont know anyone who will get one.

Ill let VT know if i get any invites that are spare 

of course it does

 

if liverpool can get a shirt deal worth £25m a year then arsenal can open negotiations with the suggestion that their shirt is worth more due to the higher league position / champions league

 

the fact that liverpools record shirt deal was largely down to connections with warrior at board room level is because of it helping them boost their figures in line with FFP

 

emirates sponsor PSG how much a year? which is another way round FFP, who sponsor arsenal? so again arsenal who have greater exposure can open negotiations which inflated figures

 

same can be applied when negotiating the stadium deal

 

im not saying every club has had money pumped in as a way of getting round FFP but the fact that a few have has inflated the market and put arsenal in a great position, puma obviously arent aiding arsenal, they're just paying the going rate

 

arsenal were top 4 and CL regulars under nike, sometime in the last 2 years arsenals kit became worth £21m more? for no reason what so ever...

They can open negotiations wherever they like but they can only get a deal where someone (puma here) will agree.

Looks like Puma think its worthwile as have no benefit from paying more than they should. 

Thus this is the market price, where demand = supply. Nothing to do with FFP

Yup, have moved early from Orange because i will be in the states for a month and that is now a "Feel at Home" destination so i just use my phone as normal there

49ers & Eagles. I know i shouldnt support 2 teams especially in the same conference but i do, so.......

Reasons below:

Eagles:

Played them on Madden on the Wii (hail Mary and then run with Vick)

Kinda dated a Girl from Philly 

Had a fairly Large bet on them to win the super bowl 2 Seasons ago.

49ers:

A very close friend is from San Fran and took me to the game at Wembley (first game)

I have also been to the 49ers bar in NYC during a game which was an awesome experience

Both are exciting teams to watch and i love a running QB which eagles dont have anymore but Chip Kelly's O makes up for it.

 I also had a bet last year on the colts which discussed on here: £150 to win around 33,000. was going to lay part of it after they beat the Ravens which i thought they would. Damn Pesky Rats! 3 Teams is too many though.

Personally, I don't hugely see the point in borrowing accents & pronunciations from another language unless you're using the language itself.

 

For example, if you're speaking French (or attempting to) then by all means say Pareee, but otherwise it should be Paris, because that's the English pronunciation, and you're speaking English (presumably).

But it's their names! You wouldnt want foreign people to call you something weird because thats how they would pronounce the spelling of your name.

Common courtesy? 

Edit: Perfect for this thread:  Its like English(and Irish etc) people pronouncing Marbella with the Ls while in spain 2 L's is a y sound.

Steph McGovern > Tobin

I jest. Wouldn't touch her with yours

You got me, well played

 

 

I've never understood the fascination people have with Thailand.

It's ok for you , you can go to the 4 floors to get banged by a lady boy but us Westerners have to travel to Thailand for it 

 

 

 

Took me a while to get that one

 

 

Edit: Wait.............how did YOU get to know about the 4 floors, EH?

 

Think everyone knows about the 4 floors of ....!

Anyway Holidays so far:

 a long weekend Skiing/Snowboarding with my rents in Meribel (never going to be too old to turn down a semi free trip)

Mid March I have to go to New York to play lacrosse against a local club and also the Isreal team followed by Marching in St Patricks Day Parade, which I am very excited for.

However over the holidays I decided I would resign from work and handed in my notice Friday.

So going to push my flight forward a week and do a long weekend snowboarding in Vermont with a friend and then ill hopefully spend a week or 2 in Whistler boarding afterwards.

Good Good times!

 

Me too, used to play real Hockey, innit!

 

 

 

 

 

That's odd, because real hockey doesn't involve skates. 

 

One wouldn't get very far on the ice without skates

what does "will follow the money if it comes before the off." mean exactly?

If it helps, the next 3 days are going to be hell...

 

 

 

 

 

... oh no wait. Tomorrow I'm going off roading and clay pigeon shooting and getting paid for it and Friday I'm doing a massive charity quiz, and getting paid for it.

 

Its cool, i am going to Cape town for 2 weeks starting next Friday. Enjoy your cold off roading and clay pigeon shooting

Gutted i didnt make the playoffs. ah well some was my own fault (not selecting team while on holiday for 3 weeks) and some was bad luck matchups (joint top points against)

I even had PM as my QB so its impressive i didnt get through

12:55 Exeter - Downtown Manhattan - Jonjo specialty right here. Horse had a few decent runs when with Oliver Sherwood back in 2012 and likely injured himself on his final start for that trainer in March last year. He's since switched to Jonjo O'Neill who ran him likely 80% fit in a class 3 hurdle last month so as to get him a handicap mark (you need 3 runs over hurdles to get a mark). He now runs first time in handicap company off 105 in a class 4 race. Jonjo specialty is get them on a low mark and progress them up through handicaps.

 

The problem we have here though is Portway Flyer gets in here off a penalty, effectively running off a mark of 106 when his real mark will be about 120 based on his two facile wins.

So what do you go for then? 10 to win, 10 each way and 10 on forcast Portway Flyer, Downtown Manhattan or something like that?

Yeah bought a cutter, coming tomorrow...... now im just gutted they are back in stock at Tescos and with a code you can get them for £85..... ridiculous price!

 

 

Mine is a very new relationship so I'm really struggling with what I should buy. We're not even "official", but I'm going to get her something. 

 

Just need to make sure I hit the right level of gift.

 

So far I've narrowed it down to something less than a diamond ring, but more than a book token.

 

Depends how new obviously but you can never go wrong with a Jo Malone candle, girlies seem to love them but its not overly personal. 

 

I have no idea what that is, but thanks

 

Edit: After googling, it's just a scented candle? But one that costs £40?

 

Ehhhh...

 

 

... no

 

Fair enough, its not really my cup of tea but women folk seem to rave about Jo Malone and its never steered me wrong

what horse at 14:00 Leicester?

Its normal sized and needs to be micro

Well i have it but forgot about the change in sim size. Anyone used a sim card cutter? I imagine it would have to cut part of the gold bit to fit, is that ok? Then if i wanted to go back to my S2 for a while can i just put in back in a converter?

cheers in advance guys

Well iv gone for the moto G at £110 off Gumtree. if i dont like it after a while i am sure i can just sell it back for not much of a loss
