  1. If Suarez had been a Utd. player we'd have been hearing about the stress 'the lad' had been under and the 'misunderstandings' that arose because of a clash of cultures and that, regarding the handshake, he missed or didn't see (also the Wenger take on this) Evra's hand as it had dipped out of vision and the lad's only human for God's sake and it's time to lay off him and give him a chance especially as he's apologised time and time again.

  4. I think if it was really as unbearable as you say there'd be no question and you would already have quit. The fact you are still there and asking the question means you already realise how difficult life would be if you did - leaving aside the fact that benefit would be hard to come by if you deliberately made yourself unemployed. Recruitment consultants would only help you swap one job you hate for another similar job that you may hate equally within a month. Look outside your profession. Do something else, even if it means starting at lower pay.

  8. Worse in this case - Rangers aren't their just big rivals but their only rivals. Maybe it's a dastardly ploy to get McFooty into the English Premier league?

    Tuilagi's off to Japan next year isn't he? So he won't be selected for England then or have they ditched that 'players abroad = evil' idea?

  18. John Breeds, mayor of Rye in East Sussex, said he expects councillors will now say prayers ahead of their meetings. "We will try to find a way around it. It doesn't actually have to be part of the meeting. Presumably if we can't say prayers at the beginning of the meeting proper, then we will just have to say them beforehand," he said. in other words prayers that are not an official part of council business - seems fair "It's been a tradition for hundreds of years, it's part of the whole sense of ceremony, with the robes and mace and chains, so I think it's a real shame." which surely sums up the only reasons this kind of thing is still tolerated and that were we to choose a head of state and/or national anthem today, there would be nothing about or relating to god(s) in either one as it's all a bit silly
  19. What a shame they chose to neglect the skylight. A missed opportunity.
  20. If you're starting in Mexico then Merida makes a good base. A market town in the Yucatan there are buses to all the places of interest including Chichen Itza, Tulumn, Playa del Carmen etc. as well as buses going on south.
  21. Having seen the aerial view in slo-mo I have a small grenade to lob into the discussion. It's not intended to excuse amything but may, I think, help explain why Suarez would do something so stupid. As Suarez approaches you can clearly see Evra drop his right hand. He lowers it from the position it was in to shake the hand of the man in the line before Suarez but then drops to his hip although it is still held horizontally in a 'let's shake' position. This is an old playground ploy. When teacher asked two boys who had been fighting to "shake", one way of retaining the upper hand was to offer ones hand as close to ones body and as low down as possible. This makes your foe reach further and lower than they would normally have to. It's a kind of "I'm not gonna reach for you, you b*st*rd, I'm gonna make you reach for me". Suarez saw this happen as he approached and, as he passes, he is careful to keep his hand at the same height as before in a kind of "my hand's here to shake but if you think you are going to make me stoop/grovel/reach-out to an unnatural degree you've got another think coming. If you withdraw your hand to a different level then it is you who are at fault" and so passes on maintaining his hand at that height so it next automatically comes into contact with DeGea's hand. Suarez should have 'reached' but if - as has been suggested - he was still smarting because he believed that what he said was not racist and that he had been punished unjustly the it is easy to see how stubborn pride together with a sense of injustice may have taken over in that brief instant. I know this pov is doing the rounds amongst disgruntled LFC supporters but what I saw on MOTD from that one angle certainly seemed to show that it was not as clear cut as it first appeared.
  22. He said both - that he shouldn't have done it but with everything he's gone through it was perhaps understandable.
