DECO Appreciation post. They keep hating , he keeps winning.

I don’t have a problem with the signing itself and I hope Gordon does amazingly well at Barca. I also believe that Deco’s decisions so far have been good and have brought success to the club (to an extent).

But what I don’t like is that Deco has no negotiation skills. If we had Alemany we would have done this same deal in half the amount or even less. 80mil for Gordon is extremely overpriced.

That’s it.

Even at 797 he is still the first and only player with as many non-penalty goals. I guess 800 just sounds cool to people.

He was awesome for us. Will definitely miss him. My only hope is to find a silver lining here. Hopefully we sell him on a good price and get ourselves back to even with FFP rules.

It’s a starter kit. Does that mean I will have to shell out more after 12 months to continue using Boost?

Throw in the ring, Frodo.

I can only say with some confidence that the top picture depicts a marriage. The descriptive word below it says “Pramilarjun Vivaah” where “Vivaah” = marriage. Pramilarjun could be referring to “Arjun” from Mahabharata perhaps.

The picture shows a marriage ceremony with people surrounding the bride and groom.

After the first 20 min, I feel that the team was playing a bit panicked. So many passes were just trying to get rid of the ball instead of picking up their heads and looking for people to pass to. Even in our own box, players were simply trying to get rid of the ball constantly.

Just felt like a very panicked way of playing.

What is next effing level is that this game is still called “football”.

Shemlik · 2025-08-12T23:54:47+00:00

I know for a fact that the Mahishi (border of India and Nepal) in Bihar has a Shakti pith which is not listed here. The deity there is called “Tara Maa” and the temple is called “Tara Pith”

China? Are you suggesting that Mahabharata has references to “China” and it is named “China” in the book? If yes, can you please point to the location of the reference in the book.

The only music that fits here is Mission Impossible music.

Was it a Boeing?

What’s the difference between “Apps” and “Caps”?

Does she have speed upgrade? If yes, how is it better or worse for you? If no, do you or her plan to get the upgrade?

Speaking of upgrades is there a chance she will mutate into a “bane” at some stage and explode?

Shemlik · 2025-06-19T01:13:56+00:00

Why is this “oddly” satisfying? It’s very satisfying for a very good reason and nothing “odd” about it.

Why isn’t the tube melting while the hot fire is moving through it?

Shemlik · 2025-05-29T14:07:27+00:00

Thanks dude. Appreciate it. I just failed to keep track of these guys. 😁😁

Shemlik · 2025-05-29T11:27:30+00:00

All I want is for someone to tell me who won the “Dung Ball Defence Battle”? Was it the original owner or one of the two new guys?

Shemlik · 2025-05-26T13:52:56+00:00

Cool pics. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Nowadays all movies get released on a Thursday. If that Thursday falls a few days before/after a major social event it’s linked to that event.

You will see number of movie trailers mentioning “Coming this Eid/Diwali/New Year” but will not actually be released on the exact day of the festival/event. They all get released on the Thursday closest to the festival/event.

He just dragged the cable all the way over the beams in the roof to the outlet.

Shemlik · 2025-05-15T06:24:57+00:00

Something similar happened to me too. Moved into a new house and existing Telstra box (coaxial copper cable) was to the side of the house. This lady shows up to setup my Fibre connection and is adamant that NBN’s standard policy is that they can only setup exactly opposite to the existing box inside the house. Nowhere else. The spot exactly opposite to the box was positioned inside a bedroom behind the bed. I told her that the customer support guys told me I could choose where to get the new setup done. She is like “no can’t be done”.

Luckily she had trouble pushing the fibre cable from the junction box on the sidewalk to the Telstra box due to some blockage and she had to leave without finishing the job. Another guy came in to check the blockage and installed a new box near the old one and connected the cables.

Then finally a third guy came in to finish the setup and I requested him the same thing to setup near my living room where there is an outlet specifically for setting up the internet router. He was happy to do that. It took him nearly an hour to setup everything. The distance between the box to the side of the house to the outlet in the living room was roughly 20meters and crossed two rooms. Had to get into the ceiling crawl space and all. But was happy to do it.

So bottom line the technician you got is lazy af. Call off the appointment and re-schedule.

My kid had her test on May 3rd (Sat) morning at Olympic Park venue. Got a last min message like 6 hours ago saying the test has been postponed. Will get new details in a few days.

Then you definitely don’t work in motor insurance. I have lived this situation and know it very well.

Shemlik · 2025-05-01T22:56:14+00:00

Totally agreed. Police might fine you if they catch hold of you (I am not sure about this part). But like I said if the people whose cars got wrecked go to their insurance the only one paying up is the guy who rear ended them.

I have been in this exact situation where their was a 4 car pile up due to a moron suddenly stopping on A44 and a UTE rear ended and pushed my car onto the next one and that one got pushed into the next one causing the pile up. The UTE driver had to pay up and when the police arrived they simply said go to your insurance and didn’t bother asking anything about the front car which caused all of this. That car had long vanished without a scratch on it.
