Sex Education season 1-3




Very weak male characters, Jakob seems to be the slight exception.
Aimee is a very sweet character.

Don't know what else is there to do if the series is continued.

Watching movies is a passionate activity for me and experience has shown that people put in more effort into their passions than they do to duty in cases where both are mutually exclusive.



So I don't have to get paid to rant about what I find passionate cheesy

I see people calling me out for calling Dune plot generic.

Their only defense is that the book is this and that..... The book is not in contention here, I rated the plot of the movie based on my own personal opinion which last I checked, I was still entitled to.

Perhaps the movie makers should have elaborated more on the underlying peculiarities of the whole storyline instead of making the whole movie a weak plotted B-movie with top tier visual effects and A-cast.





Don't know when watching movies became a strenuous project where I have to spend days, weeks or even months reading series of books because I want to understand a movie of less than 3 hours.
If I had applied such dedication to my academics, will I be so poor here today ravaging the high seas before watching blockbusters?



Let's all be guided please!
Sports › Re: Premier League Clubs Vote To Block Sponsorship Deals Linked To Owners by Calibrator: 8:14pm On Oct 19, 2021
Your article validates my earlier assertion that Man City allegedly inflate endorsement deals to circumvent FFP.


Judging by your confrontational stance, you come across as a Man City fan.

Unless you are a British living in Manchester, all present Man City fans are eyed as fair weather fans in the football fans communities.

.
Lamasta:
Pls try and read up this article it consist of the critism against City concerning the Etihad sponsorship and the ffp rules it will enlighten you further...
This guys don't want the smaller clubs to compete and grow, they tried everything to stop City but we broke out to a top club today and no stopping for us not even their targeting ffp rules can stop us and now they are trying to stop Newcastle too with so much criticism and politics.....

Kindly tell me, O knowledgeable one.... The basis of the last FFP investigation into Man City finances that threatened their continued participation in last season's UEFA champions league?

Lamasta:
Stop typing what you have no knowledge of
Sports › Re: Premier League Clubs Vote To Block Sponsorship Deals Linked To Owners by Calibrator: 3:28pm On Oct 19, 2021
You missed the whole point.


Manchester City circumvented FFP rules by inflating the sponsorship deals struck between them and the owner's affiliated companies, which in turn shot up their revenue to astronomical proportions and enabled them to have an unfair advantage in the transfer market.


Imagine Manchester City posting endorsement deals superseding a big club of Manchester United pedigree.



The only reason they escaped punishment was the expired statue of limitations when their scam came to light.


Hope you understand better now?
AbdulHakeem44:
This is not making sense to an extent as far as I can comprehend this. For instance, if Abrahmovich, the owner of Chelsea fc has another business in Europe or any other place in the world. He cannot use his club to rubber stamp sponsorship for his business as a form of free advert to the Europeans, haba!!!.

I guess many people think this is a move to not make the just-purchased Newcastle united a big club, NO!!! I don't think that is what they voted against. It is to vote that clubs should not accept sponsorship deals linked to any of the co-owner or owner of the club. Meaning sponsorship deals should go to any club and not the club the owners have stake in. A move to make big sponsorship deals available to small clubs, that is the way I look at it and if that is the case, I don't buy the idea.

If anyone who reads and digested the information and has contrary comprehension can quote me pls, we are all learning...
TV/Movies › Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Calibrator: 9:18am On Oct 19, 2021
Perhaps the movie left out the peculiarities imbibed in the books plot.

Don't want to drop spoilers but I can see the plot in the movie coming after the first 15mins.
VerifiedStalin:
Generic plot?

I haven't watched it, but according to people that have watched Dune and also read the books, the plot, though rushed, is very faithful to its source materials, and coming from someone who is currently reading the books, I can confidently tell you that Dune's plot(s) is not generic, if anything it's peculiar.
TV/Movies › Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Calibrator: 8:39am On Oct 19, 2021
Dune


Minus the visualgasm and relative names on the cast.

Judging by the first part...... Very generic plot unless the fun is stashed in the second part.

You wrote this from my mind bro.


Felt almost as if I penned this myself.

Exact same experience and mentality.
Gadafii:
Op you are a real niigga, damn real niigga
My motto in this life is "as long as I can not afford it, I don't need it, and if I can't afford it twice, I can't afford it"

Before I go fit buy phone of 200k, I go make sure say I get over 500k in my account, as a guy man like this, I get sure plugs for yaba where I dey buy okrika wears from him hand, when I wash and tidy am well with nice perf, u no fit know say na okrika, same as shoes, I no fit buy shoes above 8k presently, not that i don't have such money in my account, but I feel it's worthless to buy shoes of 8k when I have 50k in my account, I still have house rent to pay, NEPA bills to sort, gas to fill, fridge to fill, food to buy etc so why waste hard resources on things that doesn't really matter in the scheme of things

The basic goal is to cover unclothedness, if your Prada na 30k, he get shoes of 7k wey I go buy, our two go measure up squarely.

In this life, contentment in every stage of your life is bliss, there was a time I couldn't even afford a pair of jeans, now if I want to buy 5 once I will, na matter of time, no rush

I know of people who rush go buy iphone 11 some months ago, he's looking for who to buy it cheaper now, cos owu don blow him Papa

When I been wan rent house, I drew a budget, I wanted a self con, cos I cherish my privacy, it was the agent that I contacted that gave me scope, he asked if I have plans to get married soon, I Said no, he said why don't you just get a single room and just save money, since you go out every day to work and come back in the evening to sleep, why waste money on house when you won't be at home for a very long, I took the advice, if not I for borrow money join my saving to rent a self con, when it's time to pay next year I will be running around lmao.

At the same I have age mates living in duplex in lekki, serviced apartments in ikorodu etc, but na their time, I don't need to worry my self much, cos there are people who would give everything to have my place too, abi no be people dey sleep under bridge and inside shops for marketshuh cheesy

Did I remember to add that I don't eat meat?



6 packs don do me.
My diet can never aid the growth of muscles or fat.



Though I am getting "rounder and fuller" these days.

This is why I always advise peeps around me to be always grounded in reality.

You too ask yourself what will prompt an employer who is in the habit of withholding your salary when you were still an active staff to pay you on time now that you are no longer on the active payroll.





Now you see!

You will never know how precious the "half bread is better than none" concept is till you are dead broke and you don't know where the money to eat your next meal is gonna come from.




The shame associated with being unable to pay your bills assuming you are living independently should also be factored in.




Don't leave a job in this present economy unless you already have a solid backup in tow.

All attainable because of the relative peace they enjoy in the region which is made possible by the backing of United States.

Some people like you just like writing rebuttals tto flaunt statistical information regardless whether you understand the initial post you are countering or not.



South Korea is a subsidiary of USA.

Tell any international relations expert who is worth his weight in gold to explain more.
abduleez1:
LIES 101.......


The backing I see from US is mainly strategic and more in terms of geopolitics and military might.
In terms of economy, US backing or not Korea can stand on its own. It's got a stable economy and way too advanced.
Korea is a service oriented economy unlike other countries that are manufacturing oriented market.

In terms of tech, South Korea is ahead of the US. HDI is even close.
The US isn't always superior in every facet of economy.

Presently watching Squid Games and as a businessman, I can't help but notice how worthless South Korean currency is judging by how they are throwing the words "million won" "N10,000" "billon won" and the likes about.

Something that they will still turn to an infinite continuous exercise.

As for me, myself and I, I am not interested in registering for NIN.

My details is already on the BVN and Voter's card database.
What a country serious about collating information about its citizens ought to do is synchronise the information on the preexisting databases onto the new one.



You want me to go and be dragging space to register again for one yeye database as if I no get work or more productive things to do with my time.




Nonsense and terrorism-sympathetic dispensation!
