Ehiscotch: LOL. You sound pained. Chelsea fans don't attack coaches. It just doesn't happen. They were singing Mourinho's name even when the team was almost relegated. The only coach Chelsea fans attacked was the fat Spanish waiter and that was only because he had previously insulted them before he took the job, the fans asked him to apologize to them and the egotistical bastard refused to do that. So, he brought it on himself. So, Mr man, do your research before making beer parlour claims for us here. Stop chatting shit. Stop giving us sakamanje. CHELSEA FANS DON'T INSULT THEIR OWN! You can ask Mata. You can ask Lampard. You can ask Mourinho. You can even ask Ranieri. All those people are always giving heroic welcome back to the bridge. They are not like those silly fans that fly an airplane over the stadium to insult their OWN coach. It is well. 1 Like |

ipobarecriminals: See how the English FA are dashing Paul Gascoigne and Gary Lineker money anyhow àbí? Is the Argentine FA taking care of Maradona or is the Brazilian FA feeding Ronaldinho? You Nigerians amuse me. The mentality that the government must take care of you after doing a job you were already paid for is wrong. The only thing government can do for gone heroes is to create monuments in their memories. The Nigerian government does not owe Yekini's or Okparaji's family anything. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Op, because you think an artiste is not performing at a maximum potential does not make the artiste automatically overrated. That's the only reason you gave in Darey's case and I do think he is quite fairly rated. Lol D'banj heavily depended on don jazzy and not very talented? If that's the case, let don jazzy produce another D'banj then. Na so e easy? Well, it's your opinion and everybody has a right to state theirs. That being said, I think you mentioned some artistes because you don't like them although I agree on some others. |

The thing is Timi's 'wish me well' hooks you immediately after the first listen while Darey's 'pray for me' will keep growing on you as you continue to listen to it. I heard both songs on the same day for the first time some weeks ago. That day, I preferred Timi's song. But today, I must confess, I'm beginning to like Darey's more. In the end, both are great songs that I love so much. |

Celebrities / Shakespeare May Have Been A Cannabis Smoker! by ajf(m): 11:07am On Aug 10, 2015 |
By FRANCIS THACKERAY Saturday 08 August 2015 State-of-the-art forensic technology from South Africa has been used to try and unravel the mystery of what was smoked in tobacco pipes found in the Stratford-upon-Avon garden of William Shakespeare. Residue from clay tobacco pipes more than 400 years old from the playwright’s garden were analysed in Pretoria using a sophisticated technique called gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Chemicals from pipe bowls and stems which had been excavated from Shakespeare' garden and adjacent areas were identified and quantified during the forensic study. The artefacts for the study were on loan from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. TOP STORY Amnesty International condemns Hammond comments on migrants The gas technique is very sensitive to residues that can be preserved in pipes even if they had been smoked 400 years ago. What were they smoking? There were several kinds of tobacco in the 17th century, including the North American Nicotiana (from which we get nicotine), and cocaine (Erythroxylum), which is obtained from Peruvian coca leaves. It has been claimed that Sir Francis Drake may have brought coca leaves to England after his visit to Peru, just as Sir Walter Raleigh had brought “tobacco leaves” (Nicotiana) from Virginia in North America. In a recent issue of a Country Life magazine, Mark Griffiths has stimulated great interest in John Gerard’s Herbal, published in 1597 as a botanical book which includes engraved images of several people in the frontispiece . One of them (cited as “The Fourth Man”) is identified by Griffiths as William Shakespeare, but this identification is questionable. 'The Fourth Man' in John Gerard's 'Herbal' Possibly, the engraving represents Sir Francis Drake, who knew Gerard. Gerard’s Herbal refers to various kinds of “tobacco” introduced to Europe by Drake and Raleigh in the days of Shakespeare in Elizabethan England. There certainly is a link between Drake and plants from the New World, notably corn, the potato and “tobacco”. Furthermore, one can associate Raleigh with the introduction of “tobacco” to Europe from North America (notably in the context of the tobacco plant called Nicotiana, from Virginia and elsewhere). What we found There was unquestionable evidence for the smoking of coca leaves in early 17th century England, based on chemical evidence from two pipes in the Stratford-upon-Avon area. Neither of the pipes with cocaine came from Shakepeare’s garden. But four of the pipes with cannabis did. Results of this study (including 24 pipe fragments) indicated cannabis in eight samples, nicotine in at least one sample, and in two samples definite evidence for Peruvian cocaine from coca leaves. Shakespeare may have been aware of the deleterious effects of cocaine as a strange compound. Possibly, he preferred cannabis as a weed with mind-stimulating properties. These suggestions are based on the following literary indications. In Sonnet 76, Shakespeare writes about “invention in a noted weed”. This can be interpreted to mean that Shakespeare was willing to use “weed” (cannabis as a kind of tobacco) for creative writing ("nvention". In the same sonnet it appears that he would prefer not to be associated with “compounds strange”, which can be interpreted, at least potentially, to mean “strange drugs” (possibly cocaine). Sonnet 76 may relate to complex wordplay relating in part to drugs (compounds and “weed”), and in part to a style of writing, associated with clothing ("weeds" and literary compounds (words combined to form one, as in the case of the word “Philsides” from Philip Sidney). Was Shakespeare high? Chemical analyses of residues in early 17th-century clay “tobacco pipes” have confirmed that a diversity of plants was smoked in Europe. Literary analyses and chemical science can be mutually beneficial, bringing the arts and the sciences together in an effort to better understand Shakespeare and his contemporaries. This has also begged the question whether the plays of Shakespeare were performed in Elizabethan England in a smoke-filled haze? One can well imagine the scenario in which Shakespeare performed his plays in the court of Queen Elizabeth, in the company of Drake, Raleigh and others who smoked clay pipes filled with “tobacco”. ** This piece is based on an article published in the South African Journal of Science in July 2015.

To all of you shouting yellow and being cocky about it. Yellow is almost a disability. Reading people's mind will fvck you up big time. Go check on all movie characters with this ability and see how it affects them negatively. And Prof. Xavier is different. He just doesn't read, but can also control minds. Just reading minds will only add to your misery. |
