SoliBayNG:It's annoyingly archaic. There's election day, certification of individual state results by the secretaries of state, then the governors sign the certification, the electoral college seats to do the actual voting, then congress meets to certify the results finally. Whew! Well, all these were just formalities until a guy called Trump came on-board that shattered every norm and decorum of the office. |
A US military drone has been shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile while in international airspace over the Strait of Hormuz, US officials say. One official told Reuters news agency the drone was a US Navy MQ-4C Triton. Earlier, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said it had shot down a US drone over Iranian airspace, near Kuhmobarak in the southern province of Hormozgan. It comes at a time of escalating tension between the US and Iran. On Monday, the US defence department said it was deploying 1,000 extra troops to the region in response to "hostile behaviour" by Iranian forces. The US has accused Iran of attacking oil tankers with mines in the Gulf of Oman, which is just outside the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says the US claims are fabricated. Tensions were further fuelled on Monday when Iran said its stockpile of low-enriched uranium would next week exceed limits it agreed with world powers under a landmark nuclear deal in 2015. Iran stepped up its production in response to tightening economic sanctions from the US, which unilaterally withdrew from the deal last year. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-48700965 |

In a move sure to escalate tensions between Tehran and Washington, US President Donald Trump has designated Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organisation. It is the first time the US has labelled another nation's military as a terrorist organisation. The White House said the IRGC was Iran's primary means of "implementing its global terrorist campaign". Washington-Tehran tensions have risen since Mr Trump withdrew the US from the international Iran nuclear pact. The US has sanctioned parts of the IRGC before, including its elite Quds Force intelligence unit. "This unprecedented step, led by the Department of State, recognises the reality that Iran is not only a State Sponsor of Terrorism, but that the IRGC actively participates in, finances, and promotes terrorism as a tool of statecraft," Mr Trump said in a statement on Monday. The president added that the move was meant to "significantly expand the scope and scale" of pressure on Iran. "If you are doing business with the IRGC, you will be bankrolling terrorism," Mr Trump said. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47857140 |

wonder233:Chief Justice John Roberts |
Have you ever got muddled over the meaning of masochist, misogynist or misanthrope? Puzzled over the word perspicacious? Or wondered what on earth it means to be obstreperous? Below is a list of words used to describe the plethora of personalities. 1. Introvert An introvert is shy and reticent. They steer clear of social situations where possible, preferring to spend time on their own. An introverted person is more inclined to focus on their own thoughts and feelings rather than look outwards. 2. Extrovert In contrast, if you are an extrovert you are outgoing and confident in sociable situations. You are often the life and soul of the party; the one that offers to do that big presentation at work; the person who holds court at the dinner table and the first to grab the mic at a karaoke night. 3. Narcissistic If you can’t tear yourself away from the mirror, and have an excessive interest in and admiration of your own physical appearance, then you could be described as narcissistic. The term originates from Greek mythology, where the young Narcissus fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water. 4. Altruistic Desperate to help others, without worrying about the impact on yourself? You’re being altruistic. Being altruistic is the opposite of selfish; it’s having a selfless concern for the wellbeing of others. 5. Misanthropic If you are misanthropic, you’re not a fan of other people. In fact you have and display an active dislike of your fellow human. Charles Dickens’s miserly character Scrooge is a famous misanthrope. Bah humbug! The word 'narcissistic' originates from Greek mythology, where the young Narcissus fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water. 6. Sadistic A sadist derives pleasure from inflicting pain, suffering, or humiliation on others. We might describe a brutal killer as sadistic. 7. Masochistic A masochist will take pleasure in pain and their own suffering, or at least seem to. You might describe a friend who chooses to run ultra marathons as a masochist! 8. Misogynistic The “me too” movement has propelled this word into the foreground. If you are misogynistic then, quite simply, you dislike, despise, or are strongly prejudiced against women. 9. Phlegmatic A phlegmatic person doesn’t get emotional or excited about things easily. They keep calm in dangerous or frightening situations. The word has evolved from the Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates’s theory of the Four Humors. He believed that the mood of a person was governed by the balance of four different fluids in the body, each one associated with a different temperament. Lots of phlegm led to a calm and reasonable disposition! 10. Melancholic This is another of Hippocrates’s four temperaments – one that he thought was governed by “black bile”! Although modern science may have thrown that out of the window, the meaning associated with the adjective still stands. A melancholic person feels or expresses a pensive sadness. Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates believed that the mood of a person was governed by the balance of four different fluids in the body, each one associated with a different temperament. His Four Humors stated that lots of phlegm led to a calm and reasonable disposition! 11. Jocose Jocose is an adjective that's used to describe someone who's in a good mood. If you are jocose you are cheerful, humorous and up for a laugh. 12. Obstreperous If you are obstreperous you are refusing to behave in a reasonable way and probably protesting loudly. You are noisy and difficult to control. A teacher might describe a particularly unruly child as obstreperous. 13. Perspicacious Are you quick at noticing, understanding, or judging things accurately? Then you are perspicacious. You are able to determine, speedily, what people and situations are really like. (A useful quality when you’re embarking on lots of online dating.) 14. Indefatigable This describes someone who remains determined and energetic in trying to achieve something – and who is never willing to admit defeat. They never get tired of the task at hand. 15. Neurotic This is a word we use to describe someone who gets frightened and worried about things that we might consider unimportant. 16. Irascible If you are easily provoked, and become angry at the flick of a switch, then you could be described as irascible. It means you are quick-tempered, tetchy or touchy. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1DqlF3WM181S6PbqDHsVkvH/16-personality-traits-and-what-they-mean |
US President Donald Trump says he will withdraw the US from an Obama-era nuclear agreement with Iran. Calling it "decaying and rotten", he said the deal was "an embarrassment" to him "as a citizen". He said he would reimpose economic sanctions that were waived when the deal was signed in 2015. The move goes against advice from his European allies and some military advisers. In a statement, France, Germany and the UK - who are also signatories to the deal - have said they "regret" the American decision. But Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he "fully supports" the "bold" withdrawal. What was agreed under the deal? The so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) saw Iran agree to limit the size of its stockpile of enriched uranium - which is used to make reactor fuel, but also nuclear weapons - for 15 years and the number of centrifuges installed to enrich uranium for 10 years. Iran also agreed to modify a heavy water facility so it could not produce plutonium suitable for a bomb. Iran limited its sensitive nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief In return, sanctions imposed by the UN, US and EU that had crippled Iran's economy were lifted. The deal was agreed between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - the US, UK, France, China and Russia - plus Germany. Iran insists its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful, and its compliance with the deal has been verified by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44045957 |

ARSENAL Strength - Attacking down the wings Although Alexis Sanchez played much of the previous campaign in a more central position, the Gunners were still adept when it came to hurting opponents down the flanks. A move to a back three formation will put the onus on the likes of Hector Bellerin, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and new signing Sead Kolasinac to carry the threat this season, particularly if the aforementioned Chilean were to leave. Weakness - Stopping opponents from creating chances Having conceded the most goals (44) and most shots per game (11.4) of any side in the top six last season, there's no secret that Arsenal's defensive issues have held them back in recent years. Kolasinac is the only defensive arrival thus far, but protection in front of the backline has often been the problem, and it's one the club haven't addressed yet. BOURNEMOUTH Strength - Coming back from losing positions A crucial trait for any side hoping to stave off the drop, the ability to keep their heads when falling behind has seen Bournemouth avoid relegation comfortably in the last two seasons. Ten of their 46 points last season came from losing positions in the 2016/17 campaign. Weakness - Protecting the lead / Defending counter attacks One of the Cherries' main statistical weaknesses, when coupled with their strength of coming back from losing positions, is what makes them so entertaining and unpredictable. Howe's men dropped 22 points from winning positions last season - which was a joint-high - but will hope Chelsea duo Nathan Ake and Asmir Begovic can help to avoid such lapses. A look back at some of the memorable moments from the 2016/17 Premier League season BRIGHTON Strength - Counter attacks The Seagulls were flying high at the top of the Championship for much of the previous campaign and certainly owed a great deal to star man Anthony Knockaert, who carried a great threat on the break. Chris Hughton's men scored the most goals from counter attacking situations in the second tier (six) and will no doubt look to employ a similar tactic against the big hitters. Anthony Knockaert was a key figure for Brighton during their promotion campaign Weakness - Avoiding offside There were very few flaws to Brighton's game last season, so we're knit picking to find a statistical weakness. The way that they played, however, looking to get in behind opposition defences as much as possible, saw them caught offside more times than any other team (118). BURNLEY Strength - Aerial duels Having won the most aerial duels per game by a distance last season, the Clarets weren't particularly pretty but got the job done at both ends. The loss of Michael Keane - who was second only to Sam Vokes from an individual perspective in terms of aerials won (4.3 per game) - could have an impact at the back but Dyche's side will be direct once again, that's for sure. Weakness - Keeping possession of the ball As a consequence of their route one approach at times, Burnley would often bypass the midfield and surrender possession to their opponents. It worked well on occasion - they beat Liverpool with just 19.6 per cent possession - but it also limited their creativity. Only Sunderland and Middlesbrough created fewer chances last season. CHELSEA Strength - Finishing scoring chances Boasting the best conversion rate by a distance last season (14.3 per cent), it's little wonder Chelsea ended the campaign as champions. Although top scorer Diego Costa is set to leave the club this summer, his replacement Alvaro Morata was even more clinical in front of goal last year, converting 27.3 per cent of his chances compared to Costa's 18 per cent. Alvaro Morata has an impressive conversion rate Weakness - Aerial duels Scraping the barrel to find a weakness for the Blues last season, they did rank bottom in the Premier League for aerial duels won per game (14.2). The arrivals of six foot-plus signings Antonio Rudiger, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Morata do add height to a relatively short squad. CRYSTAL PALACE Strength - Aerial duels Second only to Burnley in terms of aerial duels won per game last season (21.9), Crystal Palace's Christian Benteke's influence on the side was strong. The Belgian won more from an individual standpoint than any other player by a country mile (8.9 per game), but will new boss Frank de Boer play to that style? Weakness - Keeping possession of the ball The Eagles' appointment of former Ajax manager De Boer is a real statement of intent to change their identity in the upcoming campaign. The Londoners ranked among the bottom six teams for possession and pass accuracy last season, which the Dutchman will demand isn't the case this time around. The signing of youngster Jairo Riedewald was a step in the right direction in that regard, with the versatile defender completing a whopping 92.4 per cent of his passes in the Eredivisie. EVERTON Strength - Creating chances using through balls With only Chelsea and Manchester United registering more assists from through balls last season (six), the Toffees profited from the vision of a number of players, though interestingly want away Ross Barkley was not among them in that regard. The signing of Davy Klaassen, who picked up nine assists last term, will add further creativity to the midfield. Phil Jagielka gave away three penalties last season Weakness - Fouling in dangerous areas With the likes of combative midfielders Idrissa Gueye, Morgan Schneiderlin and Gareth Barry in the ranks, fouls are an inevitability but Everton conceded too many in their defensive third. Only Jose Fonte conceded more penalties than Phil Jagielka (three) last season. The arrival of Michael Keane as an heir apparent to the captain could be a move to remedy that issue. HUDDERSFIELD Strength - Creating long shot opportunities With 45 per cent of their shots coming from distance last season, the Terriers' shoot on sight policy was clearly not as desperate as one might immediately assume, given their shock promotion. Loan signing Aaron Mooy, who has since signed permanently from Manchester City, was key in general play but also in terms of finding space around the box, firing off 51 shots from beyond 18-yards. Weakness - Finishing scoring chances The fact that Huddersfield had so many efforts from range certainly attributed to what was a modest conversion rate at best, with 8.8 per cent enough to rank down in 17th. With top scorer Elias Kachunga netting just 12 goals, adding firepower has been a priority this summer, along with height in attack through newcomers Laurent Depoitre and Steve Mounie, who scored 14 for Montpellier in the previous campaign. LEICESTER Strength - Counter attacks They may not have been able to exploit their greatest weapon from the 2015/16 campaign as often last time around, but Leicester are still a side very much geared up to play on the counter. Only Chelsea had more attempts on the break last season (17) - it seems that's the secret to success - and the Foxes as of yet have retained master exponents of the skill Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy. Jamie Vardy has profited from Leicester's counter-attack play Weakness - Defending against attacks down the wings Having conceded the highest proportion of their total shots allowed (38 per cent) from wide positions last season, it's clear that opponents look to exploit the Foxes' defensive fragility on the flanks. Danny Simpson hasn't had any competition at right-back, and the club have only signed players to strengthen the spine of the side thus far. LIVERPOOL Strength - Creating chances through individual skill With a raft of attacking talent already at their disposal, the signing of Mo Salah will certainly strengthen Liverpool's ability to bamboozle defences next season. Philippe Coutinho plays a vital role in that sense, completing more dribbles than any team-mate (70), so the Brazilian's future - he has been targeted by Barcelona - will be key to ensuring that the Reds can kick on once more under Jurgen Klopp. Weakness - Protecting the lead It may not have been the worst tally in the division but the fact that Liverpool surrendered 18 points from winning positions last season ensured they were never really in the title race. That was the most in the top six by some distance - Tottenham lost just five points from such situations by comparison - though defensive reinforcements have been thin on the ground to help to close out victories. MANCHESTER CITY Strength - Counter attacks It may seem a surprising statistic for a Pep Guardiola side, given the importance he places on possession, but fast transitions are also key to the Spaniard. City scored the second most goals from counter attacks last season (six), with Bernardo Silva arriving to help bolster an already electrifying attack. Man City have signed a number of defenders this summer, including Kyle Walker Weakness - Stopping opponents from creating chances The defensive side to City's game was the real issue last season, conceding considerably more goals than Chelsea and Spurs above them, so it's little wonder the majority of this window has been spent recruiting defensive reinforcements. Kyle Walker and Benjamin Mendy are likely to be the first choice full-backs next season, with Danilo also adding further competition, though the club are yet to move for a new centre-back thus far. MANCHESTER UNITED Strength - Stealing the ball from the opposition Ranking among the top five teams in the league for both tackles (18.2) and interceptions (15.3) per game last season, Mourinho's men were combative and efficient from a defensive standpoint, which came as little surprise. Only Spurs (26) conceded fewer goals than United (29), while the addition of Nemanja Matic - who has won possession in the midfield third more times (506) than any other player since his Premier League return - only bolsters their ability to regain control of the ball. Weakness - Finishing scoring chances It's no shock that United's key weakness last season came in the final third. A conversion rate of 9.1 per cent was comfortably the worst at the top end of the table, and as low as 7.7 per cent at Old Trafford. The loss of Zlatan Ibrahimovic through injury has been allayed by the arrival of Romelu Lukaku, who has the pressure to reverse the side's fortunes in front of goal firmly on his shoulders following a £75m move. NEWCASTLE Strength - Attacking set pieces The Magpies secured promotion back to the top-flight at the first time of asking, as expected, with their enviable firepower helping them return to the promised land. It wasn't just the forwards that got in on the act though, with Benitez's men scoring more goals from set pieces than any other Championship side (24). Newcastle made the most of their set-pieces last term Weakness - Avoiding individual errors With eight of the 40 goals the club conceded last season coming as a result of individual errors, Newcastle have made a number of defensive signings to try to keep things that bit tighter this season. French centre-back Florian Lejeune represents the big money arrival to the defence, though he committed two errors leading to a goal for Eibar last season, so it remains to be seen whether the 26-year-old can help to solidify the backline. SOUTHAMPTON Strength - Stealing the ball from the opposition Relative to their overall possession (53.1 per cent), one of Saints' main strengths last season was regaining the ball quickly, with Oriol Romeu the main man to thank. The Spaniard enjoyed an excellent second season on the south coast - making the third most tackles in the top-flight (117) - and will likely be a key man once more under new manager Mauricio Pellegrino. Weakness - Finishing scoring chances Southampton's real issue last season, and critical to Claude Puel's early exit from the hot seat, was their inability to finish their goalscoring opportunities. They ended the campaign with the worst chance conversion rate in the Premier League (7.1 per cent), with the arrival of Manolo Gabbiadini seeming to have remedied their woes before the Italian's form dipped following injury. He will need to get back to scoring ways as quickly as possible when the new season begins. STOKE Strength - Aerial duels It seems an obvious thing to say when discussing Stoke, despite making changes since the departure of Tony Pulis, but the Potters still benefit from their aerial dominance. They boasted the second best success rate from duels in the league (54.6 per cent) and have signed Kurt Zouma on loan to replace Bruno Martins Indi, who was actually very weak in the air for a centre-back, winning just 47.5 per cent of his battles. Kurt Zouma will boost Stoke's aerial strength Weakness - Defending against long shots With only three sides conceding more goals from outside the box than Hughes' men last season ( - accounting for 14.3 per cent of their overall goals against tally - Stoke have sold the midfielder with the second most blocks per game in the league last season in Glenn Whelan. Darren Fletcher will serve as his replacement having blocked just 0.1 shots per game to Whelan's 0.8 in the previous campaign. SWANSEA Strength - Attacking set pieces Only Chelsea and West Brom scored more goals from set pieces than the Swans last season, with a total of 17 accounting for 37.8 per cent of the club's total tally. The combination of Fernando Llorente and Gylfi Sigurdsson was pivotal, with the latter providing for the former six times - the joint-best combination in the league. The Icelandic international registered the joint most assists from dead ball situations in Europe's top five leagues (eight) - it's no wonder he is valued so highly. Weakness - Avoiding individual errors Key to Swansea's struggles at the bottom of the league last season was their propensity to gift the opposition chances at goal. Indeed, a total of 27 individual errors leading to a shot or goal was the most in the Premier League and while they've yet to make a signing to bolster the defence this summer, Roque Mesa had arrived from Las Palmas, with Jack Cork making way. TOTTENHAM Strength - Finishing scoring chances When you boast the league's top scorer for two seasons running, Harry Kane, a strength is always going to be finishing scoring chances. Despite Vincent Janssen's struggles in north London, it's little wonder Spurs have been quiet in the transfer window, with the likes of Dele Alli, Heung-min Son and Christian Eriksen combining for 40 league goals between them to boot. Tottenham were clinical in front of goal last season Weakness - Avoiding individual errors It may come as a surprise given Tottenham boasted the league's best defence last season, though they were a little fortunate that individual errors weren't punished more often. Only Swansea committed more in total than Spurs (25), who were lucky to see the opposition spurn 18 of the chances that Mauricio Pochettino's men had presented to them. WATFORD Strength - Protecting the lead There wasn't much to write home about during Walter Mazzarri's one season in charge at Watford, though the Hornets were able to close out results more so than most outside of the top seven. They surrendered a modest 12 points from winning positions, which was at least five fewer than the likes of Bournemouth, Burnley, Stoke, West Brom, Middlesbrough and Southampton. Weakness - Avoiding fouling in dangerous areas Watford's discipline was certainly an area of concern, committing the most fouls per game (13.6) to lead to both the most yellow (84) and red (five) cards in the Premier League. Marco Silva will hope to add a sense of composure to the side in turn, and has added the likes of Nathaniel Chalobah and Will Hughes to his ranks in an attempt to do so. WEST BROM Strength - Defending set pieces Shock horror, a Tony Pulis side that is strong in both boxes from set pieces. The Baggies conceded just eight goals from such situations last season, and it's no surprise in turn that the manager hasn't been too concerned with bolstering his defence thus far, although Egyptian international Ahmed Hegazy has been signed to add strength in depth. West Brom are one of the league's strongest at defending set pieces Weakness - Keeping possession of the ball With the lowest possession share in the Premier League last season, it's unlikely too much will change this time around, with no new arrivals in the midfield. Darren Fletcher has left in the meantime, so a figure of 40.7 per cent possession could yet drop further still. WEST HAM Strength - Attacking set pieces A tally of 16 goals from set pieces last season was a notable return for a side that netted a relatively modest 47 in total. The Hammers have splashed the cash on attacking options in the form of Marko Arnautovic and Javier Hernandez to try and ensure that they are less reliant on such situations. Weakness - Protecting the lead The Londoners rarely struggled to get themselves into winning positions last season, but protecting their advantage proved a real problem. A joint-high of 22 points dropped was decisive in ensuring that boss Slaven Bilic was unable to build upon a strong debut season in charge. He'll hope the experience of former Manchester City pairing Joe Hart and Pablo Zabaleta will help to ensure that the mentality is greater next time around. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/10971068/pl-clubs-strengths-and-weaknesses |

In all honesty, I don’t pretend to understand the workings of the Prime Minister’s mind, nor that of his coalition and/or security detail. There may be a whole host of reasons that paying homage to Mandela would not appeal. First, it’s not impossible to imagine that many South Africans might not welcome Netanyahu with open arms (nor he, them). While it’s true that Mandela strove toward nonviolence and ultimately worked with old enemies, it’s equally true that he never renounced the right of the oppressed to resist their oppression. “We know too well,” Mandela told a Pretoria audience in 1997, “that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.” Israel’s continuing occupation of millions of Palestinians looks every day more and more like the apartheid that South Africa has left behind (no matter how imprecise the term might be in this case), and one would be hard-pressed to argue that, despite his decades-long lip service to the peace process, Netanyahu shows any genuine interest in ending it. Then there’s the fact that the Prime Minister and his far-right government are currently trying to forcibly move some 40,000 native people—Israeli citizens who happen to be Bedouin—off their lands and into townships. It could, in a word, get awkward. |
Shame on you Netanyahu.. You can spend millions of dollars on frivolities, you can even attend the funeral of that late "witch" Thatcher, but u can't attend the funeral of one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century. But it’s worth considering just what Netanyahu is willing to spending Israel’s money on (in addition to a super-fancy bed): $2,700 a year on ice cream. $18,000 on clothes, hair, and makeup (double the outlay of just a few years ago). $940,000 on three separate residences. $52 million on compensating settlers for not being allowed to build in the course of a settlement freeze that was more Potemkin’s village than freeze—not to mention billions in the settlements that have already been built and those that are on the way. Suddenly, expensing $1.9 million to pay his nation’s respects to one of history’s greatest men sounds like a bargain, doesn’t it? |
I do not think Islam is the most discriminated against. The evidence is overwhelming. In the western world, Muslims are freely allowed to practice their religion(Scandinavia, Uk, US etc). Mosques are springing up everywhere. On the other hand, in the middle east, non-Muslims have virtually become endangered species and with the new Islamist govts springing up everywhere, it's only going to get worse. Proselytizing in Saudi Arabia, I believe carries the death penalty. In Iran, non-Muslims are incarcerated daily on fraudulent charges, those of the Baha'i faith even have it worse, they Hv no rights whatsoever. There are even plans to build a ground-zero mosque close to the site of the 9/11 attacks in New York. You might have individuals who spew hate against Muslims but the government and laws of those countries absolutely respect the rights of Muslims and they're allowed to practice their religion freely,same cant be said of non-Muslims in Muslim majority countries.There are even Islamic clerics spewing hate in mosques all over Europe and America, they're only arrested or deported(if non-citizens) only when they've been found to be involved in terrorism or radicalization. In Pakistan, the Ahmadiyyas are barely tolerated, talk less of those of other religions. There are a couple of countries where Muslims are "officially" discriminated against e.g the Uighurs in China and maybe the Chechens in the Russian Caucasus. So pls lets be fair, Muslims are not the most discriminated against. |
These kogi folks can be very aggressive esp. the igbirras. I remember once when our car hit a goat that ran across the road @ okene. They almost burnt the car down, it was God that saved us that day.

Na wa o! Naija girls no go kill person o. I was just fiddling around with this NUMBERBOOK app from cydia (guess u guyz know how it works) so I just ran a few of the numbers thru whatsapp to see if any pretty face pops up. One eventually did!!! So the gist got to how did u get my number blah blah blah. I told her it was via an iPhone app(i even sent her screen shots). She began to shut me up and all that, that she's the biggest iPhone fan in Nigeria and all that, that she's been using an iPhone for 8yrs now!!! ( the 1st iPhone was launched in 2007 i.e 6yrs ago). She couldn't be more than 20yrs from her look, meaning she's been using the iPhone since she was 12 , according to her story(still fair enough) The biggest bomb was that she told me she was currently using a gold iPhone 5c that she bought for 230k ( iPhone 5c is made of plastic and comes in bright colors) . That was the final straw( a true iPhone fan doesn't make such cardinal errors. She couldnt say a word anymore after I called her out on her lies. I just let her be, since it was I who made contact in the 1st place.(I'm no good at Internet fights). |
- accounting for 14.3 per cent of their overall goals against tally - Stoke have sold the midfielder with the second most blocks per game in the league last season in Glenn Whelan. Darren Fletcher will serve as his replacement having blocked just 0.1 shots per game to Whelan's 0.8 in the previous campaign
