Went to IKEA the other day to look for stuff for the apartment.

It is impossible to be angry when you're in there. What a place.

It's such a horrid place. Hate that sort of shopping. Would gladly give the other half the card and let her sort it all.

It is impossible not to like Kevin Spacey.

Yup I'm a musician, been right into guitar since around age 10, and now that I've moved back to Victoria I've rediscovered it all in a big way.

I'm just curious, how did you join a band? I play with my cousin every week and we write songs together, but he's not much into performing. I'd love to just join something ready made.

Really just through people I knew(former band mates from previous bands), hardest part was a drummer and they're usually the ones you that dictate where and when you play. In the end we just bought a kit and an electric kit so people could play at my place or my mates. I know people advertise in gumtree and some sites etc. Hardest part is getting people that want to play the same thing, I joined another band a while back and very quickly didn't like it and left.

He's brilliant. His Johnny Carson is so on point. Much better than Jimmy's.

Yeah he's a gun.

That was one random trailer, interesting concept. Is it just me, or do those buns look a lot like....

I guess that's the point....

 

[Cooldude]

Yes it's a breagina

Hey Jatz, trivia question at the pub tonight: "Which are the only two teams to beat Leicester City this season?"

I of course loudly objected as there are FOUR sides that have done it.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Surely you knew he was in it lol.

It got me interested.
I didnt even know until jods reply.

1st trailer bored me.
And the premise of the movie really was unappealing.

Starting to reach marvel overload I feel. 1 film a year is perfect.
2-3 is annoying.

But spidey? Might just be enough to watch this as I was at the point of giving it a pass.

Gaurdians was done in a way though, it seemed seperate from the rest, so Ill probs stick with watching that.

But the avengers group and spinoffs really is wearing thin I feel.

And I'd argue 3.

I really dont count a penalty shoot out as beating them.

Look at the table at the bottom.
Did Costa Rica get credited with a loss?
Did Netherlands?

Who progressed to the next round? Leicester or Hull?

Say we're in the FA Cup
0-0, 0-0 (1-0)

why should 1 be a draw and the other a win/loss despite them being the same result in regulation?

or how about champions league

1-2, 2-1 (2-2)
Should it be 1w, 1 loss or 1 w/l and 1 d?

I feel if looking at a match in isolation we take the result (either post 90 or 120) but as we need a result for the integrity of the competition, we need to put someone through. Dont want 5 replays as has happened in the past. But I dont like penalising a team for losing a penalty shootout. I'm reluctant to penalise a team for losing in extra time tbh, but can accept that. Barely.

There's your answer.

I'm not even talking FA Cup. League Cup only has one leg so the point is void.

You may be reluctant to and that's very sweet of you to try and give Leicester something, but they lost the game on penalties, which is still a loss. They didn't progress in the comp.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Im not in an arguing mood today.
Lets just disagree.

Hull advanced due to maintaining integrity in the cup.
But Leicester didn't lose the game either.

That's my belief.

Another example.

Champions league.

0-0 and 1-1

I view that as 2 draws not 1 draw and 1 win (via away goals)

away goals, penalty shootout. Whatever. It's still a draw from regulation.

The cast for Sausage Party looks ****ing great.
