@Poster He's neither. But blimey he's as lucky as any coach can get. Any coach given a blank check to buy at his whim is a lucky coach,cue the way it happened for him at Chelsea and Inter. If I digress a bit,Rafa is in trouble today cos he wasn't given common 18m to buy Barry last season after he'd already pissed Alonso off
Mr Basics, did he also have a blank cheque in Porto? if i remember correctly Porto was the poorest team in the quarter finals the year he won it. he has been successful in both rich, wealthy and average spending teams. thats the mark of a genius

dayokanu:
Capello surely won more than 3 games in the cl in one season this is Jose second CL with Inter FFS
Mr Dayokanu if Mourinho isnt a genius then who is? when all your contemporaries in your field acclaim you to be the best in what you do then you are doing extremely well in life. for instance dayo, i dont know what you do for a living but whatever you do if most or all your contemporaries say you're the best or one of the best then you are BECAUSE they have removed their egos when giving praise and being objective about it.

below are some of the quotes Mourinho's contemporaries have said about him, and no they werent paid to say them

"I must ask: is he a phenomenon or can he do whatever he wants with the team he has at his disposal? I reckon he is a phenomenon," Arrigo Sacchi [/b]gave Jose Mourinho's ego a polishing.

"Mourinho enjoyed unparalleled success at Chelsea, without question," said the Manchester United manager [b]Ferguson
. Ferguson, speaking ahead of Chelsea's visit to Manchester United on Sunday, was effusive in his praise of Mourinho. "Jose leaving Chelsea is a disappointment for the game," he said. "He was terrific for football and terrific for Chelsea. He brought something fresh and new to our game and I enjoyed the competition with him."

Meanwhile Sunderland's manager Roy Keane credited Mourinho with lifting the standards of the English game. "I have never come across him, but I just look at what he brought to the Premier League, and he raised the bar," said Keane. "He raised the bar for everybody, even for the likes of United, the Arsenals, they had to liven up their act a bit, and they came back stronger again, United and Arsenal, in the last year or two.
"Jose Mourinho definitely did that for the Premier League, and he did the biggest challenge, where he turned a very good Chelsea team into a top team. That's the biggest step and the hardest step. There are lots of good teams out there - I could name you 10 and say, 'they are a good team' - but they are not a top team, and that is the gap he bridged. He will be a loss to the Premier League, there is no getting away from that."

many many other football luminaries, journalists, commentators have mentioned his genius and greatness. does he win every match, no, neither may he win the champions league again. even alex has only won it 2ce in 18 whopping years in manu. i think you need to revisit you thoughts on this.

a parting shot for you to reflect on, as suggested by an earlier commentator;

Mourinho is currently on a run of 125 home league matches unbeaten (38 with Porto, 60 with Chelsea and 25 with Inter). His last and only home league defeat came when Porto were defeated 3–2 by Beira-Mar on 23 February 2002.[22][39]

if that dont impress you, pele.

Car Talk › Re: Information On Volkswagen Bora by ladej(m): 1:38am On Nov 18, 2009
Quick Summary of the VW Bora
OVERALLVW Bora Overall Rating

The Volkswagen Bora is an informed choice for anybody looking for quality, value and effortless style. Whilst it may offer more attractive used pricing than an equivalent Golf, it certainly couldn't be labelled cheap but if you're going to buy one try to aim for the 115bhp diesel or the five or six cylinder models. The only customers likely to be disappointed by the Bora are those expecting a wildly entertaining drive. Whilst the specs may look promising, the Bora is just a trifle dull on the road. Still, you can't have everything. Can you?
THE BOOT’S COSMETIC COUNTER

Americans and Europeans rarely see eye to eye on matters of automotive taste. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the comparative sales of Volkswagen Boras and Golfs. The Yanks can't get enough of the booted Bora, outselling the hatchback Golf three to one, yet over here the trickle of Boras leaving Volkswagen showrooms is engulfed by the tidal wave of Golf variants. So much for the cultural discourse, but how does this impact on the used buyer? It basically means that if you've no objection to having a boot, a used Bora will be in less demand than the equivalent Golf. Therefore, it will be cheaper, enabling you to save significant sums whilst still benefiting from the Volkswagen ownership package that has proved so successful of late. A Volkswagen for Ford money? That's about the size of it.

History of the Bora
VW Bora Review

Booted Golfs go back a long way. The Jetta was the first, a car with a boot so large it looked like it was trying to claw its way up the rear window and engulf the rest of the car. To be able to proceed without dragging its posterior along the Queen's highway when the boot was full, Volkswagen chose to equip the Jetta with rear springs apparently made from a solid billet of steel, thus giving a teeth-shatteringly firm ride. Resultant sales were minimal. The Vento came next, with its more sophisticated suspension. Unfortunately, with its grotesquely distended rear end, it resembled something in a pickling jar at Ripley's Believe It Or Not. It too sold mainly to police forces and to human traffickers with a soft spot for quality fit and finish. It wasn't until the introduction of the Bora in 1999 that Volkswagen proved that a Golf with a boot could be a genuinely attractive proposition. Based on the Golf Mk IV, the Bora was, if anything, even prettier than its hatchback sibling, especially in plusher guises. Initially available with five engines, three petrols and two diesels, the Bora had an uphill task on its hands to convert buyers who were passionate for parcel shelves. The petrol engines were all tried and tested Golf units, kicking off with a 100bhp 1.6, with the ubiquitous 115bhp 2.0-litre unit and the oddball 150bhp V5 supporting it. Surprisingly, there was no place in the Bora range for Volkswagen's 'default' 1.8-litre engine in either normally aspirated or turbocharged guise. Diesel buyers had the choice of two 1.9-litre direct injection turbo diesel engines, one with 110bhp, boasting Volkswagen's innovative Pump Duse technology, the other with 90bhp, not boasting Volkswagen's innovative Pump Duse technology. Both were well received, and the 110bhp PD engine received a small power boost to 115bhp in October 1999, with a five-speed automatic tiptronic gearbox option being offered shortly after. This engine was in turn replaced by a 130bhp TDi unit in 2001, and the 110bhp unit was reintroduced to give a three pronged diesel attack alongside the budget 90bhp versions.January 2000 saw the introduction of the flagship model of the range, the 204bhp Bora 2.8 V6 4Motion, fitted with, as the name implies, four-wheel drive (in this instance putting this power to the ground through the Haldex-differential of Audi's TT coupe). In December of the same year a number of changes were made across the Bora range. Volkswagen upped the power of the 1.6-litre automatic cars to 102bhp, made a number of cosmetic changes to the wheel choices available, added CD auto changers as standard to Sport specification cars and, most significantly, boosted the V5 engine's power from 150bhp to 170bhp. A sporty ST specification was introduced in summer 2001 to sit between S and SE trim levels available with either the 1.8T engine or the TDI 130 diesel unit. The TDi diesel range was reappraised at the end of 2001 to consist of 100, 130 and barnstorming 150bhp Pump Duse variant. A value added Highline model was launched in early 2004 priced marginally above the SE but offering far superior equipment levels.

VW Bora Road Test

Despite its sports saloon pretensions, the Bora never really feels alive in the same way as an Alfa Romeo 156. The additional weight of all that silicon-damped, auto-dimming, rain sensing, wax-injected quality has dulled the Bora's senses somewhat. Despite this, Volkswagen have managed to cherry-pick the best engines from the Golf range and leave behind the duffers like the 1.4 and 1.8-litre units. Even the base 1.6-litre Bora is respectably refined, but becomes a bit self-conscious when shown a corner. The most popular compromise in the petrol range is the manual 2.0-litre Sport, which reaches 60mph in 11 seconds on the way to 121mph, performance figures which would leave owners with the prospect of getting acquainted with a receding view of the back of a Proton Wira 1.6 or a Renault Scenic 2.0-litre.For a bit more power, the used Bora buyer needs to look at the 115bhp diesel, which can return an average of 54 mpg or the lusty V5 and 4Motion models which can't. The V5 is a good target – in its 170bhp form it retailed for the same price as a 105bhp BMW 316, so it's easy to work out the value proposition there. If you do want the quickest Bora, the 4Motion is streets ahead, with a relaxed air belying its ability to sprint to 60mph in 7.4 seconds before topping out at 146mph. It never feels particularly sporting, even when used hard and may disappoint the purchaser looking for a cut price practical alternative to an Audi TT, much of whose underlying mechanicals it shares.

Buying a VW Bora
VW Bora Review

Whilst not quite up there with the likes of Toyota and Subaru in customer satisfaction surveys, Volkswagen have an impressive reliability record and the Bora range has yet to spawn any significant faults. Despite failing to pip the Japanese in terms of ultimate reliability, no oriental rival can even approach the Bora's bulletproof feel-good factor. Soft touch, rubber and leather Audi-ness has seeped into every pore of the car and it feels unremittingly substantial. When buying used, look for a decent service record and check the obvious things like panel fit and so on. Boras have never proved particularly popular with the light-fingered fraternity, but it may well pay to get an HPI check, especially on suspiciously affordable examples. Despite the addition of more powerful models, the Bora has cultivated a mature image that deters boy racers, the flipside of which is a handful of hard-treated ex-fleet cars. Otherwise a used Bora is a sound and surprisingly cost-effective buy.

VW Bora Typical Pricing

If the Bora was a lager it would be reassuringly expensive, with values starting at £3,000 for a 1999 T-plated 1.6 S. Though this is by no means cheap, it still represents a comparative bargain, being £500 cheaper than an equivalent Golf. You'll need to fork out another £300 for an SE specification, and another £100 on top of that for an SE automatic. Opt for a Bora 2.0-litre and that same 1999 T-plate will cost £3,400 in SE trim and only slightly more for a Sport. If four cylinders don't appeal, a 150bhp V5 starts at £3,500, or just under £4,000 with an automatic box. The 170bhp V5 and 4motion models are rare in the used arena, so compare and contrast values on a car-by-car basis, as prices will fluctuate wildly. Diesel power starts at around £3,200 for a 90bhp S, and another £200 for an SE. The excellent 110bhp cars start at just under £3,500 for SE spec and £4,500 for Sport trim with the 130bhp models coming in at £5,500 on Y plates.

VW Bora Parts

(approx based on a 1999 Bora 1.6 SE ex Vat) Cue for some sharp intakes of breath. An exhaust system with catalyst is about £730. A clutch assembly will be around £180 and an alternator should be close to £600. Brake pads front and rear are about £50 and £35 respectively whilst a starter motor retails at around £120.

Culture › Re: Why do Nigerian Women Bear Their Father's Name, After Marriage? by ladej(m): 12:34am On Nov 18, 2009
Interesting post here, for real. Im a firm believer in doing things that add value to one's life and not doing it because its 'in' or the 'norm' or 'western'. a name is a big deal, i guess thats why no one[or rarely] is named Judas or even Jesus [excluding Latin American countries].

in relation to the post most examples of hypenated names you see are those of celebrities/children of wealthy/powerful parents. it adds value for the woman to leave her maiden name there like;

1. obasanjo-bello
2. jolie-pitt
3.pinkett-smith
4. banke meshida-lawal
5. children of wealthy british aristocracy etc

they leave them not because it sounds cool or because they love their father's names so much, but because of image rights[networking/connections] associated with the name and the cost of 'rebranding' themselves. that is why most of them leave it. there is a value attached. now a regular joe or josephine for that matter who doesnt have anything to gain value wise HAS to have a good reason for keeping her maiden name in an African context. i do agree that its a latin american/spanish thing to do this but certainly not african.

even celebrities dont always keep their maiden names. a prime example of an A list celeb is Victoria Beckham, and she's still successful.

so ladies you have your prerogative but ensure it has value when approaching your african husband about hyphenated surname and im sure he may agree [as long as the kids have his own surname]

It is not that is is just a normal attitude they like to exhibit now, most of them prefer doing things with big personalities and artist and not just normal people[/quote]well listening to them i culdnt help but feel pity for some of them in the public eye. tyra banks actually said she preferred dating 'regular guys' and when she was younger she visited haunts like night clubs and other social places a woman can meet a man. she said over 90% of men looked but were not bold enough to approach her, the ones who did asked for autographs or applauded her work in fashion/acting. so she had no choice to to limit her pool of eligible men to celebs like her who wont usually have the inferiority complex to make a move. so my broda its tough, are u getting me? even the now famous david beckham who is a white man used his agent to meet victoria his wife. at the time she was 1000 times more successful and famous than him. he couldnt approach her directly as a result of her being way out of his league. so the problem is very much global. fortunately for him she also liked him and as they say, the rest is history. he's now more successful than him, but dont forget she used all her contacts in the celeb world to elevate her man. amalgamation of efforts as i said. it can work

im happy this post came up and im ready to lend my thoughts to you all, hope its appreciated. im a man, confident in my own skin and have been for a long time. the reasons that MOST men are afraid of successful women are not limited to;

1. makes them feel inadequate of dominating the woman

2. makes them feel less of a man

3. every argument she wins will be potrayed as 'its because you are more successful that you feel you are always right'

4. if the success is wealth related then it could be a big issue if the man isnt self confident. anything she buys will be seen as showy especially if the man cant afford the product/service

5. it can expand an already inferior complex inherent, so men steer clear of worsening the situation

6. it can bring about jealousy the man didnt even know existed.

and many more,

the honest truth is that regardless of society or economic situation of the country this problem is not limited to blacks, whites, indians, basically its a global issue. notable hardworking women like tyra banks, serena williams, oprah, condoleeza rice, just to name a few have had this problem in the past and currently. the thing is if a man is not secure he will fall prey to the problem.

to conclude it takes an amalgamation of efforts from the man and the woman to make the situation work. the man has to be secure, devoid of jealousy, and totally supportive of the wife's success. in addition the woman has to be respectful, try not to throw the money in his face and engage him when making expensive decisions that could cause a problem, basically effective risk management in the relationship. a good model is that of margaret thatcher of the united kingdom who as prime minister still cooked for her husband no matter how tired despite having numerous cooks at her disposal. im sure he respected it and returned the favour. prince phillip, queen of england's husband is another example. it can work but a lot of work has to be done by both parties, especially the man. its not her fault she's successful after all.

I think I found the solution for my cheating spouse, don't get mad get even. Since the harlot that he consorts with has no papers I think
that I'll just call the hotline at immigration so they can have the bangles ready when she goes for her green card interview. I think she needs a free one way ticket back to the bush she came from. By the way she is not innocent, she knows that he is married and persists in harassing
my household with her calls. If he doen't like it, he can go with her and I told him so. She could not be so bold without his cooperation.
Now that I know her home address they may decide to pick her up before her interview. Will she think going back home in disgrace be worth what she has done. I'd like to know what others think about this problem I have. What would do?
your problem is a deep one and no woman would want that sort of problem. sometimes even getting even does not fill the void in our hearts. the void in your heart now is one of lack of love and the fact he has eyes for another woman. reporting her to the authorities may not solve the problem and could lead to a bigger can of ugly worms. she is definitely out of order, so is he. you need to think long term here, whether your thoughts right now are ones you can live with in the long run. its better to be better than to be bitter. a wise thing may be to tell your husband you can do it without actually doing it. that may scare him into realising his wrong, alerting the woman and you will subsequently regain your man. if you are hell bent of doing it proceed but remember that life is a long winding road.

I'm guessing you are a woman.

Me neither.

I totally disagree with you. If monkey works, then baboon will decide how to spend the monkeys salary abi!! NO!. The income belongs to the earner, to be spent on the family. The man is the head of the family, if he works, its his money. The woman is the assistant to the head, if she works, its her money.

I absolutely concur.

So if the man owned the car, the house and all the stuff before the woman came in, is it still "our" stuff?? Whoevers name is on the lease, particulars or reciepts owns the stuff. That joint thing is so 1999. Remember that stuffs jointly owned are split right down the middle in case of a divorce.

Nothing wrong with having individual accounts, but a joint one in addition isn't such a lousy idea. A wife that knows how much is in a joint account is most unlikely to make demands on you that are not feasible, she doesn't have to "assume", it's all there in black and white.
I just feel that having seperate accounts only doesn't allow for joint planning for the home.

But, your point's noted, whatever works for you.

Just one thing I'd mention, Ladej - please don't refer to me as "son". For starters, you have no idea how old I am, besides, I find it rather patronizing.
Thank you.
your point is noted with regard to having one joint account in addition to existing separate accounts. indeed it assists in planning of the home. calling you son was used as a term of endearment and never meant to patronise or belittle you in anyway. apologies in order.

this is not even an issue in my opinion. to each his own i say. what might work for you might not work for others. not all women want to work so if they decide to stay home and the husband agrees to it and gives her a monthly allowance i dont see anyhing wrong with it one bit. if she decides to work and not collect a penny, fine as well. every couple do it the way to benefit themselves. if she feels she needs to receive an allowance then i think it is ok, AFTER ALL IN THE WESTERN WORLD EVEN IF YOU NEVER GIVE YOUR WIFE MONTHLY ALLOWANCE YOU WILL DO IT IF YOU GUYS EVER DIVORCE.

First and foremost, your profile says that you are a 36yrs old male who is located in Aberdeen. Hence please note that you a man hence as a man you would always have time on your side to make the right choice when it comes to choosing a wife. So please there is no reason to beat up yourself about a woman who might not be worth it.


Yes she[b] might [/b] be beautiful - nevertheless you would still find more beautiful women, if you are patient enough.
Yes she might be educated - nevertheless you would still find more educated women, if you are patient enough.
Yes you might love her - nevertheless love is a two way street, hence don't ever make the mistake of marriage until you are 100% sure that the woman     
                                                     loves you enough not to cheat on you irrespective of whether you are far away from her or not

Secondly, having gone through your posts on the thread, please i need to confirm the following information before giving my opinion about it:


1. How did you find out about the two men, was it from her or a friend of hers or from the people involved.
2. Did you inform her siblings or her family about the situation.
3. Have you slept with her before or after you found out the information (to make sure you have not been infected with any STD or HIV infection).
4. What do you mean by cold hard facts, does it mean you caught her red handed or someone caught her red-handed or you have a physical evidence of her deeds.
5. How long have you two been together.
6. Did she claim to be a virgin before meeting you.
7. Did she claim to be keeping herself for you while you were away, before you now found out that she slept with two men.
8. For how long were you away from her.
9. What do you mean by revenge and retribution.
10. Why do you need to have revenge and retribution, considering that it costs you nothing to just dump her and move on with your life.



I would appreciate if you can please answer the following questions above before i make my own contribution to the thread.

@Elrazur, iknow why i'm saying this. it happened to one of my friends when i was back in skool. one of the artistes came, nd u need to see how the ladies were screaming!!! being in the front row, the artiste pulled the girl onto stage. see how this babe dey take all her assets rub the guy's body, not caring that her bf was just 3 metres away. wen show end, na so she jump enter car follow the guy go ihn hotel. my friend was heartbroken. later the girl came back apologizing, but the guy vex rake for her. she too started raking, telling him he was worthless nd from the nite b4, can see that he is not a man compared to the artiste. the guy culdn't even say anything again. that was wat ended the relationship.
the same reason u dont want ur woman to go to an Usher concert. she will scream her lungs out. not a good feeling at all. women wont like it either.

Events › Re: Can One Have A Small Wedding In Nigeria? by ladej(m): 7:41pm On May 13, 2009
you can, once the woman is convinced. men usually cant be bothered about the size of the wedding. they are too bothered with how much it will cost so if a woman says she prefers a small wedding the man will be so happy !
