@ Debo
Enough with the Bendtner /Ade comparison,there's no basis for that
Above all,it makes you look like someone hell-bent on forcing the majority to accept his wrong views,Ade might have been shyte at a point in the current campaign,but PINKY has been shyte ALL HIS PREMIERSHIP LIFE.You should be comparing pinky with the likes of Jack Wilshere(who I even think has more potential than Nick)

Pls dwell on other things,hope the meltdown has not so badly affected the fortunes of your WINCHY farm  grin grin grin.
You're my dawg,but take am easy with the pinky levels

Did you see the Almeira Villareal match?what are your thoughts on the UCL quaters against Pires and the 10 musketeers.I'm sure the match will be an emotional one for him.

I won't forget his contributions to the success of the Arsenal especially during the spell of the invincibles,hence I feel sorry for him that we're gonna have to deny him the chance to play in the UCL semis

Two men praised after catching falling baby in Lawrence

LAWRENCE - It might have ended so differently, if Robert Lemire had not decided on pizza for dinner or if Alex Day had not come to the apartment on Haverhill Street for Bible study.

Neither might have seen the heart-stopping sight of a girl in a diaper and T-shirt dangling from an apartment window three stories above the ground, and they might not have been waiting to catch her when she finally fell.

Eighteen-month-old Caliah Clark survived a 30-foot plummet Sunday night and probably owes her life to the two men who ran to the spot below the window and caught her, one by the legs, another above the waist, and brought her, unhurt, back to her father in the apartment upstairs.

"When they saved my daughter's life, they saved my own life because if she would have been hurt, I don't know what I'd do," said the father, 28-year-old Randall Clark. "For them to be there to catch my daughter, it's unbelievable. Accidents do happen in a split second."

Clark said he was home alone with his four children and putting his youngest, a 2-month-old, to bed when he heard his older children in another room. He believes the eldest two, ages 3 and 4, wrestled open a window that he normally keeps latched but that "for some reason comes unlocked" and were throwing toys out of it.

Outside, Lemire, a 45-year-old remodeling contractor, was heading to Mano's Pizza across the street, preoccupied with his daughter's softball tryouts earlier in the day. His cellphone rang, and he paced the sidewalk outside the shop while he talked, when something caught his eye: a child's toy falling from an upper window of a large apartment house. A few minutes later, another toy flew out and bounced off the paved walkway below. Then, he heard a cry and looked up.

Shocked at what he saw - a small girl dangling from the window and two children inside desperately clutching her arms - Lemire bolted across the street, dodging a car. His heart pounding, Lemire ran to the front door, yelling "Hello! Hello!" and "There's a baby out the window!" He ran up a flight of stairs to the second floor, then turned and ran back outside.

Day, a 23-year-old trucking manager, heard the yelling while sitting in a first-floor apartment with his wife and about a dozen Sunday Bible study regulars. He jumped to his feet and ran out. "I thought maybe there was a fire," he said. But as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Lemire standing below the window, looking up. He followed the man's gaze to the girl dangling above. She was slipping.

As he rushed to Lemire's side, Lemire spoke: "Here she comes."

The toddler fell with her body tilted toward the ground. "He pretty much got the top and I got the diaper end, or the bottom half, or whatever you call it," said Lemire.

"She looked at me and had a weird look on her face as if to say, 'Wow, all of a sudden I'm down here,' " Day said.

He carried the toddler back upstairs to her home. On the stairs, he said, the baby actually started chuckling.

The incident is being investigated by Lawrence police and the city's Inspectional Services Department. No charges have been filed against the father. Lawrence Police Chief John Romero said, "right now, we're just looking at the circumstances as to how the child was left unattended." Calls to Inspectional Services were not returned yesterday.

"I think that child is alive today because of their quick actions," Romero said yesterday of Day and Lemire. "They're both heroes."

A spokeswoman with the state Department of Children and Families said the incident was the first time the department has had contact with the Clark family. Other residents of the building described Randall Clark and his wife, Rachael, as responsible parents.

"He's a very good father who loves his children," said Adam Lind, 24, who lives on the second floor. "Both he and his wife are hard workers. They're both very upset about what happened."

Day said he spoke with Clark briefly yesterday, and that Clark thanked him again for saving his daughter.

"People who have children know that it's impossible to keep your eye on them all the time," Lemire said, "and all it takes is a

Investment is not for those who can not withstand a litle dip in their investment, that is why I talked about psychology. As an investor, you must be ready to accept losses while keeping your eyes on the gains. You must also have flexible plans so that if your immediate target is not met, you can either accept the loss by selling off and moving on or you can hold for long term. That is why it is advised that you should invest only money that you do not require immediately.
Let me start from the highlighted;I agree with you on that score

Then again,I maintain that nobody is infallible in issues like this,so we should excercise caution in investing rather that throwing all caution to the wind and swallow the quotation of one man;hook,line and sinker.
I have been a passive participant on the NSE for the better part of two decades and a very active participant for nearly fifteen years now,I've had my fair share of gains and losses,price peaking and price tanking(infact gains and losses are part and parcel of the whole stock thing),and from my experience,it's fair to say that no one knows it all.

My investment strategy is dual-pronged
Long term;which holds over 70% of stocks in my portfolio and CICO(the old timers on this thread will understand what I'm talking about);which holds 30%.When prices on the NSE started tanking in February/March last year,most of us on this thread believed it would only be for a short while,SOMEBODY EVEN QUOTED WARREN,that people should be greedy when others are afraid and afraid when others are gready,then fiam,off went some people(especially the newbies) with sundry buy mandates,it's obvious now that those that heeded that advise have now discovered that their spreadsheet portfolios have depreciated by nothing less than 50% since then.

THE ASSHOLE RULES (A JOKE)

When the body was first made, all parts wanted to
be the Boss. The Brain said, “Since I control
everything and do all the thinking, I should be
Boss”. The Hand said, “Since I must do all the
work and earn all the money to keep the rest of
you going, I should be Boss”. The Eyes said,
“Since I must look out for all of you and tell
you where the danger lurks, I should be Boss.”
And so it went with the Heart, the Ears, the
Feet, the Lungs, and finally the Asshole spoke up
and demanded to be the Boss. All other parts
laughed at the idea of the Asshole being Boss.

The Asshole was so enraged that he blocked
himself off and refused to function. Soon the
Brain was feverish, the Eyes crossed and ached,
the Feet were too weak, the Hands hung limply at
the side, the Heart and Lungs struggled just to
keep going. All pleaded with the Brain to let the
Asshole be Boss. And so it happened. All the
other parts did all the work and the Asshole just
bossed around and passed out a lot of shit.

The Moral of the story: You don’t have to be a
brain to be the boss. You just have to be an
asshole.

@ Blu Deefa

I stand by the above post,Just watch it play out
For your information,Chelski has always played and will ALWAYS play second fiddle to Arsenal
The trophy haul of Arsenal far outweighs that of Chelski EPL and FA cup inclusive(a fact my three-year old son knows)
In England,only two teams,Man U and Pool have done better than Arsenal
Per the EPL(as we know it today),since it came into being in 1992 Arsenal has won it three times in 1997-1998 , 2001-2002 and 2003-2004 seasons.
Chelsea has won it twice;in 04/05 and in 05 /06 thanks to Mourinho,the departure of whom has signalled the demise of chelski.If we factor in the years before 1992 when the name was changed to EPL,then Aston Villa has even won it more than chelski with 7 hauls
Arsenal has won the FA CUP FIVE times since 1992,viz 1992-93, 1997-98, 2001-02, 2002-03, 2004-05 seasons.(and five more times before then) ,WHILE CHELSKI has won it thrice 1997,2000 AND 2007(and once before then i.e in 1970)


So need I say more
Don't just reply because you just feel like it,the momentum is with us and we'll surely finish above chelski this term

Paul Scholes:Master Of The Handball (And "Nine Men"wink

You have to give Paul Scholes credit. He may have an affinity for the handball these days, but he doesn’t disguise it one bit. None of this cheeky shoulder shift or behind-the-back nonsense. Paul’s hands are out and they’re proud. Whether it’s purposefully punching in a goal like a world class water polo player or stuffing the ball at the net like he’s trying out for the next Olympic volleyball team, Paul Scholes doesn’t mess around. Excellent work, son.
