Hi folks. . . . .
Please, I am desperately looking for where I can purchase the 'Edgar Davids' type frames so I can fit my lens in. . . . .I play football and sometimes struggle without my glasses especially late evenings.

Hmmmm, now you are trying to change the post in your story, why? sad When you posted the pix and claimed that you were in the hold-up for 3 hours, and posted it at 8:48, I asked if you normally/usually leave your house by 5:30am to resume work and you emphatically answered YES.

Now that the implicationof that answer has dawned on you, you star trying to confuse the situation. Since you have gotten the gist, let me now lay it out to you.
Scenario 1: You normally leave home by 5:30am to beat the traffic and today you left home by the same 5:30am and still got to office at the same time.
Scenario 2: You normally leave home by 5:30am to resume by 7:00 but due to traffic you got to work late by 8:30am
Scenario 3: You normally leave home by 7:00am due to free roads but due to the traffic today, you got to the office late.

So which one is it?
huh huh huh

Good result, better performances so far. . . . . .great to have Chicharito back, delighted that everybody is putting in a shift for the team. I still believe the UCL demise is a blessing in disguise, at the very least this lads will sit-up and give 100% to avoid any further embarrassments!

Carrick is playing a bit better now cuz he's moved further up the pitch, not the usual deep-lying role and with Jones alongside him - thats a younger, more athletic player who can fall back and take defensive positions faster. With more games in that position, Jones will definitely flourish; for a such a burly-looking lad he's got a fine touch, just needs to work on his passing.

Just two points off the pace, playing better with a bit more assuredness. . . . .not a bad way to be heading into the hectic christmas programme!

Manchester United are on the brink of tying up a deal to sign Benfica midfielder Nicolas Gaitan for a fee of £29.3 million, according to the Sunday Telegraph.

Not a paper to be as flippant with its rumours as some of the tabloids, the Telegraph says that the deal will only be completed in the summer despite United's injury problems in midfield.

The 23-year-old Argentina international has been targeted by both Internazionale and Paris St. Germain which has promoted United to act fast and strike an "informal agreement" with Benfica.

Benfica initially wanted £38 million for the player, who can play as an attacking midfielder or left-sided forward, but United insisted they would not go that high, although they have agreed to the Portuguese side's demand to keep Gaitan until the end of the season.

Gaitan's former club Boca Juniors will receive 20 per cent of any transfer fee.

The Telegraph also claims that United are monitoring another Benfica midfielder in the shape of the more defensively minded Javi Martinez.

Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted Manchester United are finding Paul Pogba's agent "difficult" to deal with.

The 18-year-old only arrived at Old Trafford from Le Havre in 2009 amid a huge amount of controversy, yet it appears he is already getting itchy feet. A member of last season's FA Youth Cup winning side, Pogba has so far spurned United's offer of a contract extension amid rumours that Italian giants Inter Milan are interested in acquiring his services.

Manchester City have also been linked with the teenager and Ferguson said: "Pogba has an agent who has obviously become a bit difficult. But we are negotiating and we want the boy to stay. If he doesn't want to there is not a lot you can do about it. You just hope he gets the right advice."

He added: "We have an option on his contract so in that respect there is not a great emergency. But if he wants to be a Manchester United player he knows what to do."

The suggestion seems to be that Pogba has been offered more money elsewhere. Given his lack of experience, United are unlikely to match those lucrative terms.

However, Ferguson has offered some fairly straightforward advice for the teenager, who is set to be propelled into United's Premier League squad over Christmas following confirmation Darren Fletcher is going to be missing for an indefinite period due to a chronic inflammatory bowel condition."Matt Busby summed it up perfectly when he said you don't need to chase money at a club like Manchester United," said Ferguson.

"He said it will eventually find you if you are a good enough player. You become rich playing for Manchester United. Players can chase money early in their career but at the end it is not the same as if they'd stayed here.

"The player has to take the decision himself but you wouldn't think you'd need to consider what he has too long. He just needs to look around him to realise."

Bottomline, the man had a point. . . . . .what has being a newbie got to do with seeing reason in what a person posts!!?

While not saying it is right or wrong for that matter; but if there is no money and no other viable option, the only thing to consider at that point is not getting married - no two ways about it!

I don't get the rationale behind getting married then off to live with the fam or in-laws whichever one suits.
You are getting married to only your wife and the union should start with you alone especially if both of you have never lived together in the same house before.
It's already a challenge letting someone else occupy your space then why attract an unnecessary crowd?
ThiefOfHearts:
If you cant afford it, dont bother with marriage.

I just dont understand how a person can leave the church/mosque wherever the wedding took place then take their heads back to the parents' home. Are you going forward or backwards? :huh:
I get your points; fully understand and even agree with 'em. . . . .but the reason why I put out the link to that other thread was because Orikinla was on there kicking against such 'poor people' unions and a lot of folks were very critical of him and his assessment of things - saying stuffs like "are poor people not supposed to marry" etc.
What am just trying to say as regards the topic at hand is that, poverty would probably be the major reason why a newly-wed family would resort to this (residing in their parents place). . . . .now here we are again, full circle, 'the poverty in marriage' thing has reared its head and potentially, some of the folks who were back there saying different are now singing another completely new tune here!
