MetaHuman:
Diego Costa became the third player to
score 20+ goals in a Premier League season
for Chelsea on two occasions [Jimmy Floyd
Hasselbaink in 2000-01 & 2001-02 and
Didier Drogba in 2006-07 & 2009-10]




Costa has also scored the opening goal of a
Premier League game on seven occasions
this season - no other player has done so
more
So, in other words, Costa won't be leaving for China? grin

If CFC win their last 3 matches, the team will garner a maximum of 93 points.

93 points will be the second-highest point total won by a team in the Premier league era. Of course, Chelsea still holds the record for the most points in a single season with 95 points garnered during the 04/05 season.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Donald Trump Sacks James Comey Director Of Federal Bureau Of Investigation (FBI) by PDPGuy: 3:51pm On May 10, 2017
Trump fired him at the wrong time, not when the FBI is in the middle of an investigation into his potential collusion with Russia in influencing the last US election.

It all smells fishy to me. Trump's claim that he fired Comey because of Comey's handling of the investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server is utterly laughable.

Pls what is the equivalent of FBI in Nigeria and who is the director?
The equivalent is roughly the IG of the Nigeria Police Force.
Politics › Re: Buhari Appointing Osinbajo As Coordinator Is An Impeachable Offence – Adegboruwa by PDPGuy: 11:57am On May 10, 2017

This Adegboruwa dude should go sit down. What is the difference between "coordinating govt affairs" and "Acting president"? The both freaking mean the same.

Buhari's letter already cited Section 145(1) as the basis of his handing over to Osinbajo, albeit in an acting capacity. So, it's really much ado about nothing.

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:
Bro even in that letter there's nothing like Coordinating vice President, Mr President said While i am away, Vice President will coordinate the activities of the Government.. In the case Mr President first recognizes his VP and ask him to continue..


Well the questions we need to ask those wailing zombie is what is the job of the President in the first place if not to coordinate the affair of the Government.. English can make someone useless..


No kind wailing wailers jare..
Very well said

Comprehension is a big problem for some people

Travel › Re: Why Americans Smile So Much by PDPGuy: 8:49am On May 10, 2017
On Reddit forums that ask “What’s a dead giveaway that someone is American?” one trait comes up over and over again: big, toothy grins.

Here’s how one Reddit user in Finland put it:




Last year, I wrote about why some countries seem to smile less than average—and mistrust those who do seem unusually peppy. A country’s level of instability, that study found, might be why people who seem happy for no reason in, say, Russia, are considered foolish.

But there’s an interesting line of research that helps explain outliers on the other end of the spectrum, too: Americans and their stereotypically mega-watt smiles.

It turns out that countries with lots of immigration have historically relied more on nonverbal communication. Thus, people there might smile more.

For a study published in 2015, an international group of researchers looked at the number of “source countries” that have fed into various nations since the year 1500. Places like Canada and the United States are very diverse, with 63 and 83 source countries, respectively, while countries like China and Zimbabwe are fairly homogenous, with just a few nationalities represented in their populations.

Other than causing consternation for tourists, these cultural differences in the value and uses of smiles are also why it can be hard for iconic American companies to expand overseas. As a recent episode of Invisibilia showed, when McDonald’s entered Russia in the ’90s, they had to coach their employees on how to smile. Here’s how Yuri Chekalin, a former McDonald’s employee, described the experience to Invisibilia host Alix Spiegel:



And when Wal-Mart opened stores in Germany, the company also had to tweak its chipper ways to better suit the sober local mores, as The New York Times reported in 2006:



It wasn’t enough, alas: Wal-Mart pulled out of Germany that year after losing hundreds of millions of dollars. There were other cultural differences at play, like Wal-Mart’s failed attempts to get its German employees to relocate. And while the bosses back at Wal-Mart’s Bentonville, Arkansas, headquarters might have been cheerier than their Bavarian counterparts, they weren’t too happy with unions, a staple of the German labor market. (“Bentonville … thought we were communists,” Poschmann, the union secretary, told the Times.)

Like so many other daily practices, in other words, the American smile is a product of our culture. And it can be similarly difficult to export.

Missy89:
I said Comey wasn't leading the investigation Rod Rosenstein (Obama appointee) was. Appointing a prosecutor is up to him. He had bipartisan support when he was appointed and the same guy recommended that Comey should be fired.
This country desperately needs that special prosecutor. But how are we sure that Trump won't fire Rosenstein if he (Trump) gets wind of any attempt by the the Deputy AG to appoint a special prosecutor?
Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by PDPGuy: 3:14am On May 10, 2017
The timing was just so wrong. The president could have waited until the conclusion of the Russia investigation before moving against Comey. It all looks like a cover-up attempt.

Mbappe's goal was Monaco's 150th this season in all competitions; only Real Madrid (158) and Barcelona (160) have scored more from the big five European leagues.

Mbappe became the youngest player to score in a Champions League semi-final (18 years & 140 days).

I don't Fucking care

No be person pay 89m for black Oscar??
But Black Oscar was already an established World Cup player before he was bought for £89 million. However, the Black Messi is still a teen, so £50 million is more appropriate for him.

Anyway, a Hazard-Pedro-Mbappe forward line will get me drooling as if I saw Tonto Dike

Family › Re: Wife Seeks Dissolution Of 14-year Marriage Over Excessive Sex by PDPGuy: 7:41pm On May 09, 2017
Yes, I agree that sex is a key part of marriage, but the husband shouldn't have been forceful when his wife indicated she wasn't in the mood or was tired. In some jurisdictions, he could be charged with spousal rape and/or domestic battery.

As to his claim that she dresses "indecently", that allegation is vague because what she considers decent may vary from his own definition of decent. Or was he expecting her to wear wrapper 24/7?
