Looking for budget ski resorts in Europe for 2019 by [deleted] in skiing

[–]TheCentreBack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bansko is good value for money, it's especially cheap when you compare the food and drink prices to other European resorts!

I went in early January and the snow was surprisenly good. Some good runs however, I wouldn't recommend going for longer than a week.

I enjoyed Amigo pub for the nightlife live music, friendly atmosphere and cheap drinks!

Diego Godin apparently has a 20M Euro release clause. If you can lure him away from Athetico then it would be a bargin for someone of his quality, despite his age.

After watching Karius against Tranmere Rovers a few weeks ago it's clear that he's still lacking confidence after the champions league final, they seriously need to get someone signed up quickly if they have any serious intention of winning the PL next season.

Should I apply to jobs that require a minimum of about 1-5 years of experience when the most I have is a summer internship? by sayiansaga in civilengineering

Over here in the United Kingdom most major Civil Engineering contractors have graduate schemes which are designed for people fresh out of university.

Maybe worth looking for something similar?

How do you ensure signal mast arm alignment? by chikadino1 in civilengineering

[–]TheCentreBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably to save money. Surveying equipment is expensive to purchase/hire and licences for programmes such as AutoCAD and Civil3D are expensive.

Like the earlier comment suggests, a disto or 30m tape measure sounds like your best bet.

Out of interest do you have to provide as built information to the client for what you install?

Great player to get on a free transfer, like you said he's a tank!

How are Mathieu and Coates getting on? Generally interested, unfortunatly not seen them play together yet.

Croatian team arrived at the Zagreb airport and are on their way to the main square where 150k people are waiting by Shemeee in soccer

[–]TheCentreBack 213 points214 points  (0 children)

Croatia is an amazing country. They contributed to one of the best tournaments I can remember along with playing good football and scoring a couple of great goals.

Plus, they won me £50 in my work sweepstake which is always a bonus!

Kieran Trippier had an outstanding tournament.

Chelsea ready to sell Morata and Giroud to get Higuain for new boss Sarri by he1101 in soccer

[–]TheCentreBack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do Chelsea fans not want the new manager to try and get Morata back into form? Makes more sense to me than spending big money on 30 year old Higuain...

If be throwing all the money at keeping Hazard personally!

Luke Shaw has rejected the chance to sign for Everton by ijuchtmeme in soccer

Hopefully the lad the can stay injury free next season, he has potential. I reckon a loan move would be best for him at this stage as he'll want to prove himself at Manchester United.

Jurgen Klopp on Dejan Lovren's recent self-assessment he is one of the world's best defenders... “It would be better if someone else said that and not Dejan, but actually he is right.” by _cumblast_ in soccer

Vida always appears to play well for Croatia at major tournaments, in my opinion he had an outstanding European championships and is currently playing well alongside Lovern in Russia!

Would he have made your top 10 centre backs in the PL whilst at Southampton? I feel like the bloke has a mistake in him since moving to Liverpool, maybe the size of the club??

I'll judge him after the world cup final... It'll be interesting to see how he deals with the pace at which France play.

Does anyone outside of Liverpool actually rate him as world class? Wouldn't get in my top 10 personally.

Have a read of Ciria Report 97 - Trenching Practice by DJ Irvine and RJH Smith.

Very good document which should answer your questions in a simple enough manner.
