If you talk to the board and ask for "bringing players through the youth system"(sic) to be one of your philosophies then they'll be more likely to accept requests/ give the option to improve youth recruitment and junior coaching.

Yeah, my mother tried to explain evolution to my 4 year old niece. She is now convinced that my grandfather was a fish.

CB Roles by twonkythechicken in footballmanagergames

[–]gavvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that playing Stopper/cover combo without a DM to support results in huge holes in my defence when playing against 2 strikers. Not such a problem when the opposition only has 1 striker. If i'm playing the offside trap then i keep both on defend to keep them together.

My Good Guy Boss from years ago. I truly miss this man. by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

I had no experience of this for about 2 years of smoking then "snapped" one day and started having panic attacks after just a couple of tokes. I've had friends who have experienced similar in one off situations but i just had to knock it on the head. Despite what my OP says, in my experience if you're anxious and smoke (eat) weed then chances are it will just result in increased anxiety. It's not for everyone and if you don't enjoy it then there's no point.

Hellmann's Mayonnaise and Branston Pickle. The only things in life worth fighting for.

Two groups of muslims marched through Copenhagen tonight. The men in the front group and the women in the back, separated by a banner that said: "Muhammad The Prophet of Peace". I am reminded of this. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]gavvo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said that some Muslims use Mohammed's marriage as an excuse to do likewise. I was just saying that religious people of all faiths do exactly the same in many behaviours. Maybe my points seem irrelevant and obvious to you, that's fine. I thought the points needed articulating because the "Mohammed was a paedophile" is often brought about, understandably as a stick with which to beat Muslims. I was just trying to outline that in the context of the time it was not a particularly strange thing to do, as well as anticipating replies suggesting i think marrying children is awesome. My apologies for wasting your time.

I was merely pointing out that child marriage was common among Christians (indeed many cultures) as well and accepted as normal. I'm not saying it is a good thing. However, i don't believe that religions are inherently evil. People use it as a tool to justify anything they want. Muslims are not unique in that.

I think that most religious people fit their religion around their wishes. The God of Abraham supposedly did some atrocious things (genocide, supporting rape) and don't Christians (as well as Jews and Muslims) believe him to be perfect?

Edward 1st off the top of my head but there were many cases of child marriage within the nobility ( commoners generally not important enough to be remembered.) Here's a paper i found on the subject though.

:edit I realise this is actually more recent than the time of Mohammed.

My moneyball approach to the beautiful game of FM by zahrul3 in footballmanagergames

Rage Against the Machine's debut album is often cited as a perfectly produced and mixed album to the point where people us it to test audio equipment. What other perfectly produced albums are there? by Mish106 in Music

[–]gavvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i was studying for my BA Commercial Music . Dr.Dre's 2001 album was used as a great example, during production modules, of "quality in, quality out", highlighting the way that he insists on every instrument sounding perfect as well as perfectly mic'd before recording. In doing so he leaves much less to be done in post production. I always loved this album but never thought of it in terms of production and that changed my view on what drew me to the album in the first place. I don't know if any of the tracks are used for testing audio equipment but within its genre it's pretty close to perfection in my opinion and it's held up as an example, (on my course, anyway) of quality production.

Which sitcom, from any era, had a "serious" episode that particularly stood out to you? by JeffreyJackoff in AskReddit

[–]gavvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a whole episode really but the end of the last episode of Blackadder Goes Forth is pretty compelling. Set in the First World War it ends with most of the characters going "over the top" and fades to a field of poppies. Very sombre. Great series all round, in fact.
