gr8gem, be sincere with urself brother, s10+ and mi9 Pro, which will u take?. huawei and xiaomi are better compared with em tecno, infinix, gionee, , vivo, oppo, leego, elephone, meizu and co. but with samsung,iphone, nokia and perhaps google pixel, xiaomi has a long way to go . forget what u see online, some specs can be decieving bro

I would have to disagree with you on the Huawei and Xiaomi comparison with Infinix, Meizu et al. In the past two years Huawei phones have trumped Samsung most top 10 "Best phones" reviews - the P20 Pro and P30 Pro came out tops usually just above the Galaxy S9 and S10, let me not talk of the variants nor battery life of the likes of the Mate 10 Pro and the Mate 20 Pro.

If you want to compare Honor with Xiaomi then I would probably accept that, but not the Huawei brand per se.

Bro, that's what works for me.

I sometimes have a lunch pack of Rice and hot peppered stew with me, and also juice and water. And mostly have transport money with me in case I can't jog back to take off destination

I'm curious - how long after you pack your stomach with food do you go jogging, and for how long?

I remember that one very well, and how those of us warning people were cried down and insulted. Even after providing evidence people still didn't want to believe. Unfortunately, people believe what they want to, so long as people are desperate and what they hear appeals to them, sadly scams like this will continue.

Finally - we can trade in 1-3 star Trainers! I'm so happy, I've traded in at least 70 already

timilehing:
1-4* trainers are the best to use for your current level. I'll later upload a screenshot of a 4* & 5* in my current team trained with just 1* trainers each. The 5* rating is currently @95 & the 4* rating is currently @87

Again, it's trial and error with the trainers. I've had some good 2* trainers and some terrible ones. I tend to use trainers specific to an area i.e. Midfield, Defence regardless of their rating (usually 4* and 5*). And I don't usually select the default "Look at this"; if a player already has Physical at 96, I'm not sure why that would take priority over Technique or Speed. It usually pays off.

For the first time I had two CBs who were rated over 90 so I must be doing something right

I've started giving some of my players particular traits e.g."Super Sub" and that's also paying off

timilehing:
To attain higher OTR, you must play with players of same age & continously train them with 5* trainers or above

It hasn't quite worked for me, especially trying to maintain the same standard with new team members who need to get a decent rating - it's basically trial and error. At the moment I seem to beholding my own against stronger teams which is interesting.

Add to that I've got loads of 1*-3* trainers that I would love to get rid of. There should be a way to get rid of them without having to use them.

timilehing:
You can't win Manager's Cup or UCL with ordinary league team. You must build a new team each time a competition is near. All the players must be same age(read my posts on previous pages) so that they can pick same time. Depending on your division, you can create a team with 4*s, 5*s, 6*s, 7*s or mix.
If you're below Professional division, OTR of 840-860 should win a competition for you (without traits)
In Professional, OTR 840-900 is enough
In Top player, OTR 860-900 (with special traits of @least 20+) will win something
In Superstar, @least 930 OTR with traits. I once wọn a Galactic Cup with 942 OTR

I can't even get my team up to OTR 840. I've lost track as to how long I've stayed at Professional Level 16 before I finally made it to 17. I did it with a mix of 5*, 6* and a couple of 7* players.

I've been fortunate recently to have some very good 5* players (89-91 rated) but not all 5* or 6* players are equal. I currently have an 90 rated 6* player that's not as good as a 5* player of similar rating. I don't even bother with the Manager's Cup any more, I just want to make it to the next level.

I got Ronaldo purely by chance a while ago, that I got Messi this time around is a shock. I rarely get big names so I was pleased I took a chance.

Hello,

I recently acquired an Xbox One S 1TB. It came with FIFA 17 and Forza Horizon 3, which I updated last night.

I'm seeking recommendations for other games/apps/services to use on the device. And maybe online friends/communities to connect with.
Internet is not a problem (I have very fast, unlimited 100Mbps).

I have a voucher for Xbox Live Gold, but I haven't activated it yet. I'm not yet sure of it's validity period.

Thanks.

How's Forza 3? I'm thinking of getting the One S for that game alone (prefer PES CM over FIFA). How do you find it?

u ar not matured and u hv neva xperince true luv luv with challenge too. dont oyibo beat their wife. I put a blog I will mention u I hate wen a man beat a woman but is necessary. I rember wen am small my nebor wife was a jaguda wen he marry. wen he beat her she change. I date a girl for 2yrs she was as an angel, but wen we started she was stubborn I beat her twice in 4mnths and she changed. am a guy dat, after we fight I call her close to me and explain why I beat her. I dont lije violence but sumtimes is necessary

You think at times it's necessary to beat a woman. Your neighbour beat his wife. You think that it's okay for you to beat ordinary girlfriend who was "stubborn".

I really want to know why you feel beating someone you supposedly cared about who was "stubborn" is necessary.

jakandeola:
good morning my dear I hate wen a man beat awoman I neva like it but we av todo it u women ar like children dat u nid to handle wit strong hand or dey neva respect u. if u dont dicipline ur child he lack manners. I dont support a man dat beats his wife evryday dat turn her to pounching bag but isgood to ddicipline ur woman wen she go wrong. I date a girl for 2yrs and 3moth. I rememberI told her 2tinhs dat she stay away from her sone of her bad friend and dat wem am around she shd neva speak her lang wit her friend she disobey be and a mnth after I beat her she change her ways but still did it again after 2mnths. den I beat her again u wont belive dat after I beat her she now changed to a better person and for d next 2yrs we were together I neva beat her again and treat her like a queen. women nid force if u dont beat her she will disobey. ur parent beat u as a child not cos dey hate u but dey love u.

If you want someone to obey, get a dog. The relationship between man and woman is not like servant/master, they are two people with different backgrounds and different mindsets and those will come into play in a relationship along with different expectations.

When you get to the point where you are beating a woman so she will "obey" you, then you are the one with the problem, and it's usually a communication and control problem.

Parents had different reasons for beating children and a lot of them did it out of anger and control, not out of love. Very few of our parents would say I beat you out of love, it was usually I beat you because I didn't like you doing x or didn't want you to do y. Those of us who know better know there are punishments you can give a child which are worse than a beating and get the right results without manipulation or control.

freshinko:
lolss what if it's raining heavily?

Leave the house with an umbrella?

Afam4eva:

Stop being emotional about this issue. Nobody is saying that it's right for a man to beat his wife and the actor is not saying that either. The point is that it's the woman who gets the physical injury at the end of the day and as such for her to prevent it, she should respect her husband even when there's no need for it. Some men are crazy. Some would even beat a woman for no just reason. If you have a solution, bring it on.

Normally I ignore threads like this but today I'll play devil's advocate.

What is striking a woman the response to insults? Cococandy was right to call it rubbish (and I'm being polite) and right to be emotional - if someone said it was right to slap you for whatever, wouldn't you be emotional? On what grounds can you justify striking an adult you're supposed to care about because they've insulted you or said something you don't like? What if you are in the wrong?

Some of the rubbish I read here makes me realise that some of you guys have a lot of growing up to do. If you want to live a life with no one saying anything to you, correcting you or even getting upset when you do something wrong, please, don't marry or just be a baby daddy and/or live the baby boy life. All of the justifications I'm seeing here are from such a myopic skewed perspective one would think all men are saints who can do no wrong and all women do is nag. I've heard men complain about their wives, when you dig deeper you realise they spend too much time away from home, or drink too much, or spend too much money, or womanise or are just inconsiderate. Those are examples, I wouldn't say that all men do this because not all men cheat, drink or spend lots of time away from home, but at some point they're doing something that annoys their wife, try to justify it and then complain when she starts to nag about that thing! When the outsider points out the obvious - usually another man - it's like their eye has suddenly cleared. All I can say is that a lot of parents are failing to raise their sons right, leaving the success or failure of a relationship fully on a woman's shoulder. That is wrong - there are two people in a relationship and it takes two to make it work. You can't hear if you're not actively listening.

And women usually nag because men usually have a hard time listening. That is despite whether she's been trying to tell you something directly or indirectly. And when you don't listen it starts to grate on the other person and then it gets to nagging. Let me ignore the girlfriend thing because any woman silly enough to let some boyfriend hit her isn't grown up yet. When you get to the point where hitting your wife is an option, what does that say about you as a person? Why is hitting the thing you would resort to?

The solution by and large is simple - listen. Don't be thinking of what you're going to say next, or be defensive or not take responsibility, or apologise hoping that she'll shut up, just listen. What is she saying that you're refusing to hear? Is it true? If it is, what do you do about it? If it isn't, how do you go about reassuring her? If you're not prepared to be open and honest with your spouse and communicate - both listening and speaking - and treating that person's opinion as valid (even if you don't agree), and you don't want anyone to say anything to you, marriage isn't for you.

Anyone part of an association looking for new members?

Fynebouy:
Hello all,

Is there a time limit one can spend outside the UK. I am told there is no time limit in the first 2.5 years visa as long as one does not spend more than 6 months at a stretch. Is this true? Someone else told me that its a maximum of 90 days per 12 months from issuance of visa.

Please could anyone guide me?

Thanks

I remember reading something similar but can't find the info!

It depends on the type of FLR visa; somewhere in the"terms and conditions" for the visa type, it advises that you shouldn't spend more than X amount of time outside of the country. I'll keep looking.

phardey:
Hi all,

I'm due for flr m Feb next year. Just wanted to ask do we need to submit pictures like we need for the initial spouse visa? I haven't been taking pictures.

You don't need to submit pictures or IM conversations again but you do need to submit:

* The sponsor's passport or a copy of every page of the sponsor's passport.
*Applicants passport
* 6 months of sponsor's bank statements
* 6 months of sponsor's payslips
* Sponsor's P60
* A letter from sponsor's employer
* Copy of Marriage certificate
* Applicant's language test certificate
* Rent statement/mortgage summary, especially if you've moved from the address where you originally lived for the initial application.
* Any bills in your name or both names for 2 years you have lived together.

The bill thing can seem complicated but the easiest way to remember is that (1) they must be spread evenly over the two years, and (2) you should use a maximum of 3 types of named documents. Again it sounds confusing, but it can be a combination of utility bills, council tax bills, bank statements, payslips, an official letter e.g from the council, Home Office or the DWP.

e.g. Water bill in both names in January 2016 and January 2017
Council tax bill in both names, March 2016 and March 2017
Bank statement in both names October 2016 and October 2017

If you have any period where you don't have anything in joint names, then you have to submit separate documents, one for each of you, for the period at the same address:
e.g. Sponsor's bank statement, January 2016
Applicant's letter from DWP January 20016

You can complete the application online, and with each step you just have to remember you have to confirm what documents you will be submitting. You'll get a summary at the end of the application anyway, but it helps to start collating stuff. You'll also have to pay the IHS at the end of the application. Good luck!

Driving Licence ( international licence can be used for 12 months from entering UK)

PLS, Portsmouth86, Does UK allow Nigeria International Passport as the valid driving licence in the UK for 12 months? Thanks

You can't use a Nigerian passport as a valid driving licence in the UK but you can use a valid Nigerian driving licence for up to 12 months (similar to an International Driving Licence).

Without a UK driving licence the insurance premium will be a killer.

Question: when's the best time to introduce a new player? I tend to bring them in at the beginning of the season or just before the training period. And there's usually some overlap between them and the player who's being retired/sold.

timilehing:
Chain of Goals ending 05:59 tomorrow

I actually enjoy the Association events, but this was the first time I was hardly able to participate. Still, the rewards though

timilehing:
Effectiveness of a player is League independent. The likes of Casemiro, Bosquet, Kovacic etc are not Premier League players and their effect on a team is so low. My 30-year old 4* A. Rabiot(PSG) @85 have same effect with my 6* training cone-boosted Evriti @90 aged 25

If these guys are in my scouting list I'm selling them sharp sharp! I think I've had at least one of those guys on my team, didn't last the season and sold him. Right now I have Depay and I have to say he's exceptional.

I now feel I have to phase out some 5 star players for an exceptional 5 star player (e.g. Braña) or go for 6 star ones. And I'm struggling to get my best players past 91. So far the highest I've gotten any player is 96.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that EPL players overall rating isn't as good as those from the Bundesliga or La Liga? I usually have to check carefully before adding to my team or the teams Attack/Defence goes down.

So far Rooney and Terry have been my best ones. Ozil, despite being like an 88, does nothing for the Attack, even after plenty training.

No visa has bring issued and my hubby has being uk fit the past 2 months but I still haven't recieved my supporting documents like passport and others .

I suggest you write to them and include a Special Delivery, self-addressed envelope including a note/copy of your email asking for your documents. Include your reference and any identifiable bit of information.

Make a note of the Special Delivery reference just in case.

Send everything at least by Recorded Delivery. Once it's been delivered, go to Royal Mail's website and do a screenshot/printout of the delivery details. Email Sheffield again stating you've sent the envelope for your documents and quote the necessary.

They've either misplaced your documents or the return envelope (working on the premise that you sent a SAE originally). Good luck!

Depending on the type of renewal you're applying for, you will need at least

2 years worth of paperwork to prove you're cohabiting (basically from the time they arrived) - it's got to be documents in both of your names, and any period that doesn't cover a document in both of your names, it should include either a document in your names that covers that period. One thing that helps is being on the electoral register.

You'll have to pay that fantastic health surcharge which will vary, there's a calculator that you can use to find out how much Health Surcharge you will need to pay: https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application/how-much-pay

The form most will need to complete is the FLR (M): https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/application-to-extend-stay-in-the-uk-as-a-partner-form-flrm but check carefully for the correct form. It will be similar to the original spousal visa application form i.e. long, and is about 76 pages. The form can change at any time, good to check it out to have an idea of the information you will need to start collating.

Okay, the question doesn't make sense.

Do we eat Ram on the basis of being a Christian or simply as partakers in a meal with our neighbour or friends? Then we go back to "who is my neighbour" and on what basis are we refusing? When we go into Sweet Sensation, Mister Biggs or Mamaput, do we contemplate the religion of the person doing the cooking or serving before we order?

I want to be part of an inclusive society, not pigeonholed and alienated because of belief. I want for my neighbour, irrespective of belief, what I want for myself. And I will gladly take that Jollof and cooked Ram and will thank God for it!

"It Right For A Christian To Eat The Moslem Ram During This Celebration" is moot.
