villa4europe Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 why before every tournament do people get excited claiming the stadiums wont be ready? a year before the WC and 5 stadiums arent finished, you can build a lot in a year... has any tournament ever started with a stadium not finished?

Stevo985 Posted June 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2013 Well the swimming at the Athens Olympics was open air wasn't it in the end? I'm pretty sure that was because the stadium wouldn't have finished building a roof in time so they had to improvise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted June 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2013 Obviously nobody noticed when I mentioned hooligan memoirs. Thought it might start a debate, I did, I even threw you a 'Like'. Pretty much despise the whole thing in film / literature as they (mostly) seem to consist of revelling in the violence and how much of a total **** word removed they were. But then of course, it's all OK because they are now 'reformed characters'. If you're so reformed, how about not trying to make a quick buck and giving ideas to other oxygen theives. And yes, I do realise there will be exceptions and that some of them are trying to highlight their past as a warning to others, but I would say they are few and far between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 This is the latest installment of interviewgate after I replied to her original email with "Wow, just wow." and my business partner then replied with something about a Bentley. Also we set the business up before my stroke. So not only is she precious, mental and slightly illiterate but she doesn't listen either. Apologies regarding yesterday. I went over the route I took over and over and with someone who knows the area well. I worked at Tricorn House once for two years, but I drove everywhere then. It has changed much in terms of logistics since. I did not mean any disrespect. I was just being honest and I have the foresight to think about getting there without a car at least 4 days out of 5 in the interim period whilst I am setting up. I went to a lot of trouble to come and try to see you and I am sure your offices are fine, however, I am not someone who drives to Birmingham every day at the moment. I checked out the train station and just couldn't believe it. Guys, it was beyond gross. I was actually genuinely worried as I have been attacked previously, therefore, my gut instinct was to think about that and I might have not bothered with perfume by the time I got out of the filthy lift that led me to feel physically ill. On a different note; I am impressed that you you have the courage to start a business whilst one of you is recovering from a stroke, that is amazing and I do wish you the very best in your endeavours.

Stevo985 Posted June 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2013 What station was she at? One of the Birmingham central ones? Because I can't really see her description matching any of those. At least her grammar has improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 14, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 14, 2013 If you hired her now it'd be like her doing you a favour. You don't want that and from what I've read I REALLY wouldn't want to work with her. Talk about a high maintenance pain in the arse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 The thing that pisses me off the most, BY FAR, is the widespread and total misuse of statistics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Five Ways station, I'd guess. I used to work at Tricorn House. It's not that bad an area apart from some of the urine-filled underpasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very annoying indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted June 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2013 I think it was me that blew the gaff on the rotating knobs at crossings on VT. A blind person had told me about it, and I was pretty amazed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
