Tom is the loud one from the office.

Lovely weather up here today, off for a nice walk now :cool:

Tom is the one causing the headaches :D.

The weather is really nice. Can't believe the contrast between the other day and now.

Our Finance Director has just given me a task equivalent to pulling out your own teeth and then ingesting them through your bum.

Happy Friday boss.

That tickled :).

Off to the Emirates tomorrow.

When I bought the ticket I should have looked at the fixtures - Arsenal play Bayern in the week so I expect them to send out a bunch of misfits and nobodies - cue Gervinho, Arshavin, Squillaci and co.

Was hoping to see Wilshere but there's no way Wenger will risk him with the midweek game in mind. Really hoping to see Cazorla.

PS - Not a Gooner!

PPS - Not a Blackburn fan!!!

Should still be a decent game though :)

I didn't go for a walk couldn't be arsed. So went to TGI's instead for dinner.

Evening/Afternoon all. Sitting here with a few bottles of wine, surprise surprise, and watching the SA vs Pak cricket match. How is everyone/

P.S i blame Cleon for me being up this late and drinking to excess. His excellent Ajax youth thread has me hooked on FM13 again, really enjoying my new Rangers save trying to develop players.

P.P.S Sorry Cleon but i have to find someone to blame for my blatant alchoholism.

"A few bottles"? Unless they are smaller than a bog standard sized bottle of wine, then that's a recipe for disaster in my book.

One bottle of red is enough to render me in all sorts of trouble the next morning.

One advantage of my rare foray to the nation's capital tomorrow is that I get license for an all-dayer - I get on the train at 10.20am and will get home as and when the lures of London become too much or too tiring.

Nope they are 3x750ml botles of wine. I never used to drink wine but after moving to Australia i have really got a taste for it. they will be spread out over several hours, along with a few pints of water, though so it wont really be that bad (at least thats what i tell myself).

Thats the one thing i really do miss about the UK, the live football. they have it over here but it is only a fledgling league so isn't to a great standard. I used to go watch the live games of the Brisbane Roar, local A-league team, but stopped when they tried to charge double for a season ticket and were only giving you a few extra matches.

Don't worry, I don't mind been blamed if its for something like that :D

Does your wife not worry about your drinking? From what I understand you are on a pretty tight leash :D

The downside is I bloody hate London.

It'll only taken me a couple of hours to get from home to the stadium, but it entails fighting the tube and it just grates with me.

I went on some course in London for a week last year and had to commute from home every day, it was the most excruciatingly painful experience of my life.

Nah she doesn’t worry about it much. I think she gets exasperated (sp?) a lot as I usually tell her I will be finishing the glass of wine/beer I have left when she goes to bed and be in in half an hour. Naturally I then decide after the wifes influence is gone that it wouldn't hurt to have a few more.

I have probably exaggerated the tight leash a bit more on here as I have had a few usually. We have been together 12.5 years now so she is pretty used to me staying up late. The main problem is my inability to come to bed on a weekend due to the just “one more game syndrome”.

Yeah i used to work in a pub in Greenford for 1 year before coming toi Australia and i hated everytime i had to use the tube. Luckily i lived and worked in the pub so didn't have to travel into the city centre that often but when i did i found it the most miserable experience, nobody smiles/talks.

I get that, and it will be demonstrated tonight!

I have plans afoot for changing my current, boring save, and those plans need to be given some serious attention.

Valentines Day took the edge off yesterday - didn't play FM13 at all so I'm in credit by my reckoning.

That's one of the best things abou my missus, She hates all that phony crap around valentines day. we just cook each other a special meal and that is it. No paying extortionate amounts for dead flowers/fancy meals for me.

Don't get me wrong - the wife got a takeaway curry and my uninterrupted attention for the evening, no more and no less.

She is appreciative of the fine husband she has 365 days of the year, not on one day designed to boost card shops and florists bank balances!

Nice. Same here. My wife specifically told me that if i ever bought her roses on valentines day she would bin them as they were a waste of money.

MMM i really want a takeaway vindaloo now after your comment. unfortunately i dont think any will be open at 2am.

Who says romance is dead eh?

yeah it was funny as i was going to do all this cliched romantic stuff on our first valentine (roses to the office, really good dinner at a flash restaurant, ect ect). Either she got wind of it or the usual female intuition to deduce a mans thoughts happened. She shut me down pretty quickly by revealing she did not like all the crap surrounding valentines day.

How long do you have to wait until money is finally available on Pay Pal? It has been saying pending for nearly a week.

First time you've used it? Normally 7 days. Once you've used it a few times 3 days max as a rule for me. Weekends don't count as days btw.

Paypal is a pain in the arse. Although this bloke I sold something to isn't much better.
had it been functional and easy to use in connection with swedish banking systems it would have been a pain in the arse, since its not, I assure you, its much worse then that

Yeah. Starting to annoy me.

Why's it annoying you? It does state in the FAQ's and when you add a bank account that it can take upto 2 weeks :D

Massive massive news about a American player. First highish profile name since Justin Fashanu.

Who you signed?

It is hence me only playing the poker tourney that I go to enter. As far as playing poker online I have a target figure that i'd like to hit per month as extra to my normal job.

I guess you must do fairly well then?

I think there is becoming far too many idiots again on the forum who want spoon feeding every single bit of info. I honestly need to think long and hard about what I wanna do from here...

As good as you are with tactics, that is the problem as people just want it all doing for them. I get a mass amount of PM's asking stupid stuff. Really does my head in at times. Purefun used to direct them all to me as he couldn't be arsed and they seem to have stuck with me. I should do the same :(.

I've been in profit for Dec + Jan but a little down for this month so far.

It's a good job that i'm not a moderator during this period as there would be no members left (which could make the forums better I suppose :D).

Don't you even think about it.

I don't know what you're on about :p.

I got my first taste of patch release the other day. It was, erm, great.

Ffs, just spilt my drink. I hope I don't get any PMs. I've had a few over the years. Got one about a year and a half ago from a forum user who said something like, You were heldful last time, so can you help me again please. I think I did :D. Then in GD, it happened around a patch time when everyone gets a bit fussy. I commented with something and someone replied.

Tbh, I can't be arsed with the forums anymore. As soon as I get a life I shall be gone :D.

My money goes from Paypal to bank account in less than 6 hours, I think sometimes less.

Is it different for everyone?
