Somewhere to talk about the beautiful game. Its pretty well known that I’m a Leeds fan, this years Championship title is likely to go to either Norwich, Leeds or @Mythaga’s Sheffield Utd so it’s getting pretty tense as the season heads into the final weeks. Leeds are feeling confident after a glorious 4-0 win over 4th place West Brom. Sheffield Utd’s response was a predictably dull 0-0 derby game with the other team from Sheffield. Leeds are playing Sheffield Utd soon, this will be crucial in deciding who gets the second automatic promotion spot. Apparently theres other leagues in English and world football so feel free to talk about them too.

Hello All.... Though I'd share my hobby with you all, as some of you may find it interesting. A few months ago I found my old collection of Matchbox cars from when I was a lad, around 25 years ago. Most of which were play worn and missing any bits of paint. After watching a few guys on youtube, I set about restoring some. After the varying success of my efforts, I bvranched out into buying knackered cars and restoring them as a little weekend hobby. Then after a bit of shopping with my son, I purchased a few Hot wheels cars, and now my son and I collect Hot Wheels together. We don;t want full sets, but we just buy what we like. Which makes today a special d…

The Last Dance is a 2020 American sports documentary miniseries focusing on the 1997–98 Chicago Bulls. The series features film footage from a crew that had an unprecedented and all-access pass to the Bulls during the National Basketball Association season. A season in which the Bulls were attempting a second Three-peat....or Three Consecutive Championships. They had already had a three-peat from 91-93 and were going for a second one. Why should you watch it? Because as a basketball or NBA fan regardless of who your fave player was or currently is...there is no denying that one of the greatest players to ever play the game is named Michael Jordan. In 1987 a family m…

The Story What I'm Writing

I've always loved writing, and have, in the past, made several attempts to write a book. These all failed. The ideas were good, but I just never kept at it. Recently, however, I had an idea for a story and feel like this is the one. I figure I'll post what I have here now, and the promise of posting further updates will keep me motivated to keep going. Hopefully. So here is my new, ongoing effort. For now it's called The Pig, but that may change. The Pig “It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied.” John Stuart Mill – Utilitarianism (1863) 1 - The Farm I can remember The Farm now. The lowing of th…

With the world of sport now on hold for many of us there are a few eSports events taking the place of the real thing. Formula 1 have their eSports in full swing now: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/tags.esports.N0CpHwC3MAUK4iwAEYi6e.html The Grand National in the UK was replaced by a virtual event this year: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dBwte-Isi3c I know some will despise the idea of ‘replacing’ real life events, but I thought it might be an idea to have a place to share upcoming eSports or Virtual events that may be replacing what is lost due to lockdowns.

USWNT Equal Pay ... Yay or Nay ? 1 2

The four time World Cup Champion, US Women's National Soccer team filed an equal pay in a gender discrimination lawsuit and this week US Soccer lawyers explained why US Soccer feels the US Women's team deserves less wages and should not have equal pay...This is what US Soccer lawyers said: “MNT players routinely play matches (important World Cup qualifiers, in particular) throughout Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. The WNT does not,” the USSF said. “Opposing fan hostility encountered in these MNT road environments, especially in Mexico and Central America, is unmatched by anything the WNT must face while trying to qualify for an important tournament. Even t…

Do we have any basketball fans on the site? I know @zmurko and @Fido_le_muet are into the sport, but surely some of the NA folks must be as well. It has never really my sport. Well, haven't really payed it any attention. But a while ago I came across "Inside the NBA" on Youtube. First, it was just for the entertainment since many of the clips have nothing to do with basketball, just the crew goofing around. Charles Barkley is mighty entertaining to watch. Then I began watching full episodes of the show plus "Open Court" with all the legends and I must say it has gotten my attention now. Recently, I have watched the final playoff matches of last NBA season and I'm ev…

All Elite Wrestling

I don't know if any of you guys are wrestling fans, so you probably haven't heard about the new company, AEW. It was founded recently by wrestlers Cody Rhodes, Matt and Nick Jackson, and Kenny Omega, and they just held their first big show, Double or Nothing, last night. It was friggin' good. If all you know about wrestling is WWE, you should check this out. It's hard to describe why it's better, it just is, especially since the writing and continuity for WWE has been shite for a few years now. It's going to have weekly shows starting soon, on TNT in the US, and ITV in the UK. This is awesome news for me since there hasn't been a proper wrestling show on terrest…

Football (soccer) important national games.

I have noticed I am not the only one that enjoys football here. Our own national teams are the ones that really lighten our hearts and their wins brighten our days. This thread is for all those games that are not big European or world games but that are important for us locally (not only in Portugal, but wherever you are, whatever teams you support). Today is a big game day here in Portugal. The 2 biggest teams will play for the championship (whoever wins will most likely be the next Portuguese champion). 2 points separate first and second, Sport Lisboa e Benfica and Futebol Clube do Porto, in Benfica´s home. 4 matches to be played …

SO what do you do for fun when not playing video games? For me. at one time I was a paintball player, semi pro in fact in early 2000's, but a severe knee injury off field took me out of the game. I have pics I will edit in stored in the computer at work. Now I fly RC airplanes and currently working on one with an 8 foot wingspan that will look like the Sprunk version of the GTA Mallard when done. In reality it is an Extra 330 3D stunt plane.

Last year I ran a payleague thru NFL. Com and we had a few crew members participate I then filled the league out with work colleagues. I would be more then willing to once again setup a league if we have any crew members interested. Just like last year while it is a pay league it will only be a 20 dollar fee to join and all transactions are free. Use this more as a fun league but the winner will walkway with 180 dollars and 2nd place will get there money back so 20 dollars. The league will be for 10 players and I have a PayPal account that can be used to send me your fee or if you prefer I can give you my address and it can be mailed. If the interest is there I will iron …

Sports betting

A lot of guys here are investing a lot of time in the creator and organising events that are worth a lot. Since I am not really the guy to invest hours and hours to contribute in that, but do take the pleasure of wasting my time in those things, this is my thing to make up for it a bit: I will give some good tips on what to bet on, on a regular base. The best bets will often not be there, as they are made on the fly in the middle of a race and change faster than I can even post them. There are still a few though where the odds don't change for hours, or even days. These will be the ones I will show. I'm sure no one will believe me that they can win money of…

Poker - Analyse my play

I thought it would be a good idea for us to post our plays and for us to analyse it and give feedback which should help us all improve over the long run. If you want, add a backstory of how the opposition has been betting so we can see the bigger picture. Please quote the persons play you're commenting on so they know they've received feedback and know which play you're taking about. What do you guys make of this play?? (Edit: it might be worth putting a poker subforum on the site as I do have a few other topics to talk about and I'm sure other would as well)

Selling RC Dragster

I have this listed on a few sites, figured I would offer to the US crew members (cost to ship across the pond safely would be quite high) It is a Megatech Dark Thunder dragster ready to run. 0 to 60mph in 3 seconds. I got it used not running, I rewound the starter and rebuilt the carburetor, runs good now. 2 speed transmission with adjustable converter (can set to launch at near zero throttle to full throttle)/ Needs and air filter, the old one was bad shape. This car has some age on it but has little use on it, plastic is all in good shape, comes with original manual. This thing is very fast and will cover alot of ground quickly,…

Are you open about playing video games?
About the same.. I truly despite being categorized and for people to put labels on me, or even think they know how I think or act. Working with alot of different people, both customers and within the company I choose not to bring it up. Family and friends know, but since noone plays GTA i almost never talk about it. -

Actual art?
Suggested music: Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet (1872) Impression, Sunrise is a painting by Oscar-Claude Monet. It is in the Impressionism-style and is oil on canvas, 83cm x 63cm (18.9 in x 24.8) it can be seen at the Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris, France. Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement characterized by relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, inclusion of movement as a c -
