  2. As has once been said before on this Forum...."A person deserves a second chance. " Good to move on. When you move to another country at times it can be overwhelming and adjustments need to be made. Hopefully the club can get the best out of Dani and this incident fades into the background of the canvas of his life.
  3. Lopez must first have a fair hearing Then the club cam make their decision. I remember seeing a movie long ago named "Waterloo." A corporal was caught in the act of stealing a pig from a peasant in France which, in these times of war, was a capital offence. When Christopher Plummer, playing the British general, Wellington, rode up on his hoss and asked what all the fuss was about, he demanded that the Corporal explain his action. The corporal replied.. "Deeply sorry, sir, it was an impetuous act, instantly regretted." Wellington, always a brutal realist and knowing that he needed every experienced man in the ranks, paused for a minute and ordered. "Subaltern, promote that man to Sergeant... he knows how to get out of a tricky situation!" Maybe Senor Lopez should reply at his hearing. "I suffer from asthma, Senors, and I was choking and needed to make this play to save my life. It was an act of impetuosity, instantly regretted and I am black affronted not to mention deeply ashamed. ............."
  4. Rotten Tomatoes verdict? Oh Dear! .............But, c,mon, it's horses for courses...right? Heh, chaps/chapesses , I went to the moivies after a long absence to be awed, surprised, riveted and entertained and I came out feeling stimulated and BLOWN AWAY. Yep, no doubt in the fullness of time, this movie will be shown on my 55 inch H.D. colour television set in black and white or something. But why wait when I can get 3D and Dolbie surround sound blowing my ears off and watching a helicopter piloted by "The Rock" going down, and down a very narrow canyon to rescue another pilot whose 'copter had a spectacular crash and burn, where the blades are spinning only inches from the sides and you begin to feel the sweat breaking out on your hands cleanched on the sides of the arms of your seat. And no, I don't have any shares in any movie stocks so my opinion is unbiased.
  5. sinking feeling
  6. Eh what? PHIL 38 . Been looking at too many videos with vampires and gore aplenty, maybe, ? Oh well, takes all kinds to make a world. But if I foretold you that when the Tsunami arrives it's going to take a major portion of California and dump it into the sea along with, I suppose, between 10 and 15 million people how would you respond to that? Boredom? "So, how would that happen S.P.?" You say...........Because the San Andreas fault runs right down through California and that's where it's going to split open. Not to mention the fact that that's exactly what the movie is all about. Including the build-up which is scary enough. Did you guys also know that I've experienced several mini earthquakes here in Vancouver over the past 40 years, the first sign of which is sitting idly at the computer and then suddenly seeing that the light shade hanging down from the ceiling is quivering violently although your body feels little and you get that sinking feeling in your gut because you know very well what is going on and the two plates are moving. So I will have to try to rake up the annual extra figure of $600 to add earthquake insurance to my home insurance policy, knowing that the huge initial deductible of thousands of dollars will not change and if it really happens then we are going to be all but wiped out financially. Based on the standards of building perpetrated on us by the immigrant builders here in B.C, I think that half of the city will fall down. The houses are all made of wooden frames these days and a Swedish engineer that I once ran into in my travels stated to me with a smile that he considered the houses here are like match boxes. ULP! The close- up helicopter views of the huge dam and it's collapse, with the resultant terrifying results, is awe inspiring. Including the gradual build-up which is rivetting. http://www.bing.com/search?q=san+andreas+fault+earthquake+prediction&form=PRCAEN&refig=14b03783b97a4ae3942b3369fffb85f3&pq=san+andreas+fauklt&sc=8-18&sp=2&qs=SC&sk=SC1
  7. "And she said..."No spitting in the toon, Just get into that saloon and use the spittoon." And, as she walked down the boardwalk , her bustle did spin. She was an ample lass, definitely not thin, So she attracted the scruffy rancheros whose thirst had been slaked and their thoughts were on sin. One rakish Espagnolo even had a beard, as he turned in her direction and ... leered. As she evaded his clutches she kicked him hard and now he has crutches; in response to which he hollered at her ... "Come here, come here, you cuddly lass , at you I desire to make a pass" and the one thing I don't need right now is a bit of your sass." "Och" she cried ..."Under your saddle you've got a burr, but based on your low-life actions you are nothing but a cur." "Not me." He sobbed. "I am but a peasant lad filled with passion and I've been out on the range and out of touch, but truly for you I feel so much." 'All right, all right." She called out in regretful dismay. " I'll let you hold my hand for 50 Pesos out of your pay. But after that you must go away." All right, my Caley Thistle friends, over to you to finish the story...............
  8. Well, I am sure he only did it anyway because IHE went up to him and intoned sonorously..".Sho-me, Silva."
  9. Oh Yngwie, did you mispel chlimax as chillax?
  10. (of the) iceberg
  11. Well, that was a blast. Next thing IHE will be showing us is a fancy foto of Long John Silva spitting on Flora's feet....?
  12. So what did you have for brekky this morning , your Seership? ALL BRAHAN, or Special K , both from Kellogs Kracker Krafters.??

    What's happened to your Out Sneck /Outdoors photos. They allow me to reminisce and re -think where these places are and thus are so enjoyable.

    And all these photos that you seem to magically produce out of nowhere--where do you get them from.?

      IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

      The interest seemed to wane. Get most off Facebook. Will update soon

  14. Gotcha. But there was no real need to tie his right hand to the bridge rail--the tensile strength of these cables is phenomenal by all accounts. Lovely spot there though.
  15. But, IHE, isn't patience supposed to be a virtue. Not one shared by me in spades in the past but methinks older John will just have to find a way to thole it. Aye.
  16. Wynthingmie, dear fellow, can't agree with you more. Old Scarlet is fading as fast as a frigging, phllandering, overworked fallopian tube. Flipping rotten deal, mate. Help me along since that's me current song. You day is coming so just observe and be nice like sugar and spice. Or, if you really want, like a pot of old boiled rice. But remember you will get more with honey than you will with vinegar, so off you go to Castlegar. I know, I know, my hair has turned to snow. The fingers creak and I need a crutch to get up on the po. My back is bad, my belly's gone to fat. How I wish that I was Tac the cat (One of the heroes in Destinies in Motion) and could just spend my remaining days just sitting on the mat. So, there you go and thank you Wynn. it's just a matter of the brain cortex skin that's gone a little bittie thynn.
  17. Yes.... I'm bullish on that painting for sure.
  18. Sometimes you do speaketh the truth Charles and so my eyebrows will continue to rise up in awe ..."Jobsworth Elfin Safety?" Is that a new Womens' movement? Or Peter Pan has gone all "Mod."
  19. And come to a sticky end inside a burning barrel of tar, at Chanonry Point, tied hand and foot and pushed in head first. Have to be careful Brahan 2 Or the jealous and haters will be out to get you too.

  21. In today's market place and taking into account that we have just exited probably our most successful season ever, the margin is razor thin and , once spent, that money would almost certainly take a long time to re-earn or recover. Scary!
  22. Agents are frequently used so that two employees of the club, or who have a deeply vested interest in the club, choose to negotiate between themselves directly but don't have to risk a breakdown in relations as a result of holding strong opinions that they feel matter so much that they should not be changed. Pride and a lack of humility can often play a part in crushing the talks. Then the Agent can try to find common ground and maybe inject common sense by handling the negotiations and in so doing be seen as one who doesn't really have a personal vested interest but is only working towards a fair settlement.That in itself can be the downfall of these negotiations when an agent is greedy and sabotages the deal. Probably only an arbitrator who does not have allegiance to either party can truly be effective in this kind of situation since his fee is negotiated in advance. That is, of course, provided he/she can use his/her skills as a presenter of facts and who can use diplomacy and common sense reasoning to convince the parties to settle halfway. Usually guys like that also do come with a reputation which adds to the belief that a fair deal can be agreed upon beforehand.
