What fucking moron uploads a school schedule exclusively in a proprietary format that requires paid-for software to be viewed rather than a simple .jpeg that anyone could view?

Surely living in Sweden your standards would be higher than that.

None of them are visibly obese, they don't dress like bums and the picture is far too grainy to make out if any of them have any horrifying facial defects = Good enough for me. Standards are nice and all, but you can hardly expect that every girl should look like a model, especially when you're a fat bastard like me.

Well, the Bechdel test asks if a work of fiction features a conversation between at least two women about something other than men. The hypothetical reverse Bechdel would ask the same question except the role of the men and women is reversed.

Unless I missed something, it took until half way through the second season before two men talked to each other about something other than women in Girls. Not that I'm complaining, it's just an observation I made.

If procurement policy was based on value-for-money, compared to "who will do it cheapest", then the Daily Mail mob would scream socialism.

On the other hand, the adult education school I attend wouldn't be run by fucking amateurs who can't provide a literature list or a schedule on time.

Heh, unless I missed something early on it took a season and a half before Girls passed the hypothetical reverse-Bechdel.

It's pretty good though.

Public procurement has to be the dumbest process anyone has ever thought up.

Doing a great job? Well fuck you, these other guys say they'll do even better for much less.

I was bored, so I started watching Girls. It's basically bizarro Entourage.

Also, if there was such a thing as a reverse Bechdel test, I'm pretty sure Girls wouldn't pass it.

£15M to boot.

Their owners must be loaded - they spent something like £30-40M last season and have now spent £36.5M in this'un (£15 for Osvaldo, £12.5 for Wanayama, £9 for Lovren) in this one.

They are owned by the estate of a Swiss billionaire, so yes, they are loaded. Some of their spending is undoubtedly funded by the bump in TV money however.

Is it not done by population? A smallish are of Manhattan = Stanton Island possibly?

The "Newcastle" bit on the map is Staten Island. And it isn't done by population, both Brooklyn and Queens have higher populations than Manhattan.

You can't move twice in the same window can you?

You can't play for three different clubs in the same season. Since Falcao moved before playing any games at Atletico in the 13/14 season he could switch clubs again.

I like the unforgiving Manhattan-centrism of the whole thing, the rich in Lower Manhattan get a bazillion teams while the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn get one or two.

Drive is a very simplistic film in terms of story, the brilliance of that film was in how it used music, colours, contrast and general style to tell it, scale that away and you've got a pretty forgettable film about a half-mute criminal.

My general thought on Only God Forgives is that Refn saw the success of Drive and thought "Hey, I managed to pull off a film with the Driver as the protagonist off, I wonder if I could do the same with a film where every character is a silent stooge just like him?".

Refn is a genius with the purely visual side of cinema, it's a shame that he seems to be forgetting the human side of it, especially when his earlier work with the Pusher films dealt with that side so well. If he could put together the stylistic brilliance from Drive with the humanity of a film like Pusher 2 we could get an all-time classic.

Make it sound like he didn't just do that a couple of years ago.

I hope you're not referring to Drive when you're saying that.

Only God Forgives.

Quite terrible. Refn needs to put out a film that has character progression and an actually story again.

Play Aguero as a Trequartista or attacking DLF, and play Negredo as an AF.

This is probably what I'd do as well. Might be worth trying him as a complete forward too though.
The poacher role you've currently got selected for Dzeko is more suitable for quicker players.

The first player looks like the more well-rounded to me, he'll miss a few more chances than the second player but he will probably be able to add more to the team away from just purely scoring goals that the other guy will, considering his much better passing attribute.

Yes he is.

No he isn't. ede/JCash was German, jln is from Eastern Europe.

jln may have a similar posting style and share the same assburger-like personality as ede/JCash, but he is a different person.
