Soz but I can't see any dive
There was contact and a bit of pushing but Kalou threw himself to the ground in a way that didn't match the contact. It's true that technically it's a penalty and yes penalties have been given for less this season, but penalties have also NOT been given for worse than that.

It was so sad and unfair (with the racism issues and dashed expectations) in some places, I couldn't ROTFL the whole book. I laughed at some things that were said, but no, I wouldn't be like "oh, that book is comedy, so funny!"

Oh well. . .lemme recommend two books far removed from pessimism as you can get.

Wole Soyinka's Ake and Andrea Levy's Small Island/

You will literally Roll on the floor by the time you are done. wink wink
Ok thanks soooo much for recommending Small Island. I LOVE LOVED it. It was happy and sad and thought-provoking and just really really good. Only it was Caribbean lit, not African as you kind of said. And whilst it was funny in parts, it wasn't like roll-on-the-floor funny. But it was really good so it didn't matter, so thanks!!

I don't think you really love (or even like) either. If you really really did, then 1.) you wouldn't be cheating on both, and 2.) you would know who to pick.

But that's just by the way. In answer to your question, what's more important to you? Present happiness or future possibilities? I don't really think you should be with either, personally, but it depends on whether or not you're just ready to settle down now irrespective of feelings.

ill beat a naughty woman the way I smack my mother--- if I can beat my mother, why not ?!


Did i get u rite? u will smack u mum. are u insane?
If you wouldn't consider smacking your mom, why would you consider smacking your gf? Even if someone deserves a beating, don't give them the satisfaction. What does the beating do? So childish, like a tantrum. If you're with someone (male/female) who hits you first, then you've made a bad decision, they're violent and lack self-control control and one day may just kill you, so watch your back.

Why are you freaking out and malign a girl you do not know? OK, fine, let's bring it to your door step; K C's gf was you sis. what would you have told him, if he came to you personally to tell you that your sis cheated on him once and that he had ambivalent feelings towards their r/ship, however, your sis had cried her heart out: saying she was sorry. Would you have told him to chase her away and never to have anytin to do with with her or plead with him on your sis's behalf?
tell me,  MAKA NA EJIGHI ONWU MAA ATU ODIKA OBU NA-ODIGHI EGBU MMADU
If it was my sibling that acted shady like that, I would tell them, look you acted shady and that is not how we were raised. I might plead their case to their partner and plead on their behalf, but only if I thought they were genuinely sorry and wouldn't repeat it.  If not I wouldn't put my mouth. Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. Just because it's your sibling that did something doesn't make it ok or make them innocent.

[size=13pt]awww. ,  . . .i dont blame your boyfriend really, not evryone can stand pple who cant speak well but since you guys have been together for so long he shouldn't be dat harsh on you,  the first step to solving the problem is the one you ve taken, acknowledging the problem,it gets easier from there, buy english texts,read novels, read dailies, watch english speaking movies {if possible throw all your nollywood films outta the window }, interact more in english {stay off your dialect for a while} , when pple correct you dont get angry take to their correction and read more i think with these you should be able to improve

goodluck with your boyfie swty  wink[/size]
I agree completely!! But don't just do it for the boy. Do it for yourself, improving your English will also be beneficial to you, irrespective of your guy situation.

RomanceRe: Is It Right To Call Ur Gf's Sister On The Phone Occassionally? by Tatase(f): 9:01pm On Feb 20, 2010
I don't get exactly why you want to be calling her sister. What's your own with her sister? Maybe I'm strange, but I don't really like when my friends by-pass me and casually call my family when it's not like they're already close to the person, it's a bit over-familiar for my tastes. But it depends on you, I don't think it's necessary to call if you don't have something specific to say to her, but maybe I'm missing some cultural nuance.

Even the rightest person can make the mistake of taking their partner for granted.

How do we avoid this from the start?
I don't think it's healthy to go into a relationship with a "one person must be the mumu" mentality. I realize that it's human nature to take advantage of people who let you take advantage of them. Think of your friends, there are some who are obviously users and don't remain in the inner friendship circle for long, and then there are others who you have a give-and-take relationship with, and who you're close enough to that if you feel like they're taking advantage of you, you can say it, and they check themselves, and vice-versa.

I don't think there's any need to be setting anti-mumu rules at the start of the relationship. . . like I must win x% of arguments, s/he must be up to no good etc etc. Who wants to live like that? And moreover, who wants to be with someone like that. If your personality is really that cynical and distrustful, then that's you, but it's draining to act that way in a relationship all the time, if genuinely you're not that type of person. You either trust your partner or you don't. You either like him or you don't. And if you don't, then why are you putting yourself through all the anti-mumu stress to be together.

As far as taking the partner for granted and how to avoid things, my biggest suggestion would be to be yourself from the beginning. I know many girls and guys who are really "lions" and "tigers" and like to get their way and not easy-going at all. But when they see a partner they like, they pretend that they're easy going, ah the girl suddenly LOVES cooking for her man (someone who doesn't like to cook before o), everything he says is right, he's too perfect, he can do no wrong. Then the guy gets used to this from her and expects it, and of course because this is not her real personality, it becomes harder and harder and she becomes more and more resentful and feels taken advantage of. If you're not the motherly/caring type, why pretend you are? Be like "dude, I don't like to cook, I hate the kitchen," that way when you do those things, then it's special and he appreciates.

RomanceRe: How To Avoid Being Taken For Granted by Tatase(f): 7:50pm On Feb 20, 2010
Pick the right guy! If the guy is going to take you for granted then you don't need him anyway. Don't think you can pick someone who's selfish or inconsiderate and play games or manipulate them into changing- it won't work in the long term.

Lol. . . At bloody last

Somebody has deemed it fit to expose Jonny Evans

The boy's feet were stuck in mud.
I think Johnny Evans exposes himself every week. He doesn't need help doing that. His particular expertise is setting up the opposing team in our box. But at least today he made a somewhat acceptable defensive mistake (compared to deflections and teeing up the opponents).

Pretty much everyone except Evra had a bad game. The substitutions were foolish and we were just off today. It was one of those games jare.

@ the matter of the bright side,

On the bright side,
1.) We're still second.
2.) We're only a win and a draw away from Chelsea
3.) This season has shown that even the top teams are liable to big eff ups at the most inopportune times so there's hope in that.
4.) We all have our health. . . hopefully

FashionRe: A Size 14 by Tatase(f): 4:03am On Feb 20, 2010
@ FL Gators,

I think she meant she's more than those sizes.

I think "W" is cut for Women. So they expand the bosom and hip and bottom measurements. Like it's the same size but they cut it more for curviness. So basically a 14W is slightly bigger than a 14.
FashionRe: A Size 14 by Tatase(f): 3:56am On Feb 20, 2010
Actually she has refused time without end to say her actual size. Her exact words: “I don’t easily give out these numbers, but I can tell you that I’m not a size 0 ,  and I’m not a size 6 ,  and I’m not even a size 10. . .” "“I don’t know what size dress I wear.”

The only one who said she is a 14W is someone who allegedly made a dress for her. But let's for arguments sake say she is a size 14W (and if you're a girl who wears clothes and knows others that do, you can tell she's not) that would be a US size, which is a UK 18.
