  1. If I recall the corresponding fixture last year, Jota  went for the ball and caught the standing  defender in the face and blood everywhere. Didn't get sent off and went on to score the winning goal.

  2. Some while back I was at a dinner party . My brother good lad volunteered as designated driver. He actually did three trips taking locals home. He took me on the last trip about one in the morning. We saw two blokes walking along the road. He said that's really strange as he said he was them on his last trip about four miles in the opposite direction. Then told me that was about twenty minutes ago. No way could they have walked that far. 

    Anyway Sunday lunch we were in the village pub and he related the story to a few locals who told him that would be Bert and Ted. Everyone in the village had seen them. They both died in the fifties.

    What struck me was multiple people had seen the same images.

  3. About 20 years ago I spent about 5 years travelling between the US south Africa and the uk. Very early in that period I met a guy who taught me how to travel. It made a lot of difference. 

    Always be polite, at check in volunteer your service to help in the case of a rowdy passenger, this got me loads of upgrades. Complain in writing about the little things again loads of upgrades and loads of air miles. Listen to the duty free trolley, if you hear them say they are out of something order that. Complain the you often fly that route, I used to get loads of miniatures for free. Join partner airlines and write to them and say you forgot to claim your air miles when you flew with a partner airline.

    I had things going with hotel chains and a big one with Avis, car got broken into in Pasadena no probs but about 40 mins from LAX found a small local place with about 20 cars. We did a real where I would pick up a compact car from L.A. And go straight to the local dealer and swap it for the best car they had. Turns out I was there best customer. Even got a dodge viper once.

    Anyway after all this we never had to pay for a holiday for about 12 years. flights hotels and car included.

  4. 6 hours ago, TRO said:

    its called modesty.

    I guess its like the glamorous actresses, who want to be known for acting, then go to the awards night in string vest.

    I don't think that's the case 

    If Damon, Hanks and the like are at an awards night, Cosmo and the like,  aren't going to be analysing what they are wearing. But if a woman turns up in a faux pas 

    Well that's a different matter entirely
