Na so dem talk am before PSG and Barca. Una eye's go clear on Sunday!

CaptainJune:
Are you comparing Arsenal to PSG that won the last Champions league title as well as League 1, and Barcelona that won the 2024 LaLiga title? Are you kidding me?

CaptainJune:
On the bolded, we agree. Besides, Arsenal will need that prayer of yours and corporate prayer to face Chelsea.

CaptainJune:
With Chelsea on the heels of Arsenal on the premier league table, gradually closing the gap between them despite their poor start in the first five games of the season, Arsenal fans would be living in fantasy land to dismiss the threat Chelsea poses against their title hopes come Sunday. Like Mourinho says, and I agree, "Chelsea is a winning machine."

CaptainJune:
The more you underestimate Chelsea the harder you fall. Ask PSG and Barcelona how ir went.

CloudFlare outage is a not a NAIRALAND problem. It is a global problem. Twitter felt it. Most websites in the world were affected.

Arsenal should better be serious and keep up with the pace. Cus I don't want City to win this league for the next 10 years.
I repeat, Manchester city must not win the EPL las. If my Liverpool can't defend it, then Arsenal or any other team should win it.
Unfortunately, you can't stop them

Exactly what I was driving at. People were(are) so focused on Liverpool that they forget the stuff Man City and Guardiola are made of.

humberjade:
And Man City?

It can't be the end of the road if any of these two teams lose tonight. Still early days, and they both have what it takes to catch up.

Getbetter:
Man U are not going home with a win. You read it here first.

Ironfaceman:
Talking about stupidity. Who does that. May be in MLS but not Saudi Pro League.

Fraud for a reason.

HacheNoire:
MLS needs to sue Messi

He just ridiculed the league!

Imagine leaving the league and opting for Saudi pro league to get in form?

Can we now all agree that MLS is a farmers league.

Punctuality is one of the major ways to demonstrate respect (for self and those you deal with) and dedication. I too cannot put up with being late.

Of course, we are humans, and are imperfect. If there is a genuine reason to be late, it should be communicated on time. In my entire work history, it's hard to believe, but I tell you here that I don't ever recall being late. I've worked in an international organization, taught in several secondary schools, and now working as a medical doctor. Across all these platforms, lateness was nowhere close to me. I recall the time I was in an international organization, I almost always sign after the cleaners. In the hospital I currently work in, I've never ever come to work late, not even by a second. I'm able to achieve all these effortlessly, I just have to wake up early and hit the road early. And we have four kids we prepare for school and all that.

While I worked in a teaching hospital in SE Nigeria, whenever it was time to take over a call duty from a colleague, I often showed up 20 to 30 minutes early (around 7:30am, for a call that would typically start by 8am). I like to acclimatize (I usually chill in the call room and plan my day). Also, showing up early is very relieving for those that may likely have gone through hell throughout the night. It will interest you to know that there are colleagues that would show up 10 to 20 minutes late, or more!

My point is, over here, a lot of us have issues with being punctual. We call it "African man time". I disagree with this term, there is nothing African about being late.

Now, back to the story. I cannot judge whether or not it was extreme to call off the date, we don't even know how late the lady was. I'm also not familiar with the German culture. So, it would be hard to make an objective comment here.

But if I had a date/any appointment and the person comes in late (without a good reason), I'll feel bad, and may make some conclusions about the person. I'm not sure I would have cancelled the date sha, not before calling this person to find out what's up. I mean, the person may be in a situation beyond his/her control...like a medical emergency, a traffic situation, etc.

In conclusion, I'd like to use this opportunity to urge us all to try to be punctual in all of our dealings. Time is one resource that once spent, it cannot be gotten back. Don't waste people's time, please. Be more responsible, show up at the time you agreed to be there. Being late is actually very irritating.
