Mark Albrighton Posted April 9 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9 1 hour ago, sharkyvilla said: Why in the Fugitive film they chose to use a one-armed assassin. It's no surprise he botched the job and got tracked down fairly easily by Kimble. If I was being critical I would say it’s another example of ableism (or whatever) whereby to showcase that the villain is indeed a villain, has to have some disfigurement or disability. The last Bond film received some flak for the villain having facial scars. I do however like the line “It wasn’t me, it was the one armed man!”. It has a nice cadence or something about it. But I was made aware of the line from it being referenced in The Mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brommy Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 It is said 'you can't be offside from a corner'. Picture this scenario - the ball is placed on the very edge of the corner arc, a yard back from the goal line. The corner is 'taken short', passed forward to a player stood on the goal line in an offside position (the player has received a forward pass with fewer than two opposition players closer to the goal line). Would that be called offside or does 'you can't be offside from a corner' override the technicality of this offside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colhint Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 On this subject. As long as I have watched football, at corners the ball always sat in the quadrant. Now they always seem to be outside overhanging in. Can it really make that much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What got me wondering was the habit over the last few years of placing the corner ball almost outside the arc and almost a yard from the goal line. Easily enough distance for VAR to draw an offside line, should the ball be played forward to a player on the goal line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't even run to the nearest human to summon help. It also went "missing" shortly afterwards. Nor has it denied the killing. I saw it a few weeks afterwards wagging it's tail. Guilty as hell.

T-Dog Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Cured meat - I ain't a bad home chef, but I've never got my head round how cured meat works. Sometimes I wake up in the night and think about Prosciutto, how did it get there, why does it last so long? Is it okay to eat? Does it even go off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It removes the moisture therefore slowing down any deterioration. I'm sure ships used to sail with barrels of salted meats (kw) that would last ages.
