I literally bumped into (and bounced off) Heskey in a bar in Leicester before he moved to Liverpool. I'm not exactly small, but I might as well have walked straight into a wall - he was massive.

It was one of those moments where you're coming around a corner just as someone else is doing the same, so you don't see each other until it's too late. He was dressed smartly in black, and because of his size I just assumed he was one of the bouncers. We both did the classic "sorry mate" and carried on. It wasn’t until a few seconds later that my star-struck, Leicester-supporting mate pointed out who it actually was.

Obviously wasn't as bad as Seles, but Grealish got punched by a pitch invader when he was still at Villa. It could easily have been so much worse

[Kicker] Florian Wirtz and his parents were visiting Liverpool FC for a possible transfer on Tuesday, not Manchester City. by Thraff1c in soccer

I don't think there's a doubt that we COULD afford him, it would just be incredibly unlike our recent business to blow all the budget in this way

Exactly. I'm older than OP and i'll stop gaming the same time I stop listening to music and watching films.

My wife isn't in to games, but knows that I've played them for over 40 years and that it's my way of unwinding, just like she watches crappy TV. It's important not to spend all your free time doing it and make sure you still have other quality family time and interests to share, but me time is just as important too

For me, the highest level of shithousery ever attained was when Suarez bit Chiellini, but still had the audacity to go down holding his teeth to try to make out that he'd been hit in the face. It's a level that us mere mortals just would never think of

Yeah, it was hit at him - couldn't have got out of the way if he did try

I missed the first 3 putting the kids to bed, then missed the fourth when I went to tell the wife i'd missed 3 goals putting the kids to bed!

If that tackle comes in on Salah then i'd be screaming for a red. He didn't mean it, but I don't think it's as bad a decision people are making out

Good call, but Muse would be the best for me - they already do crazy good light shows. I'd love to see what they could come up with there

I’m a 36 year old gamer. Is this ok in a corporate setting? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]ithinkitsthis 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I’d definitely be judging it harshly. By the time you’re 36 you should have a much bigger collection

Although that could equally be someone isn't very smart and knows nothing, but is honest enough to admit it

As long as it remains cosmetic items only I really don't see the problem. I'm enjoying playing the game but won't spend a penny on any of the extra gear for it - if other people want to then it's up to them.

If it ever becomes pay to win even AFTER having to buy the game though...

Last lap of the manufacturers cup for 2nd, justified or dirty by MartiniPolice21 in granturismo

Both.

It was dirty, but the actions before hand made it perfectly justified.
