gentlegenius:

Real Madrid is the winner... While Chelsea is the loser.

This is why I hate panic signings...
How on earth did Chelsea pay £73m for Kepa when Madrid paid only £31m for Courtois?
Chelsea literally paid 37m for him and still got kovaciç on a season long loan

[quote author=Blackskin post=70050821][/quote] are they the Nigerian army, police, navy, air force? They are paramilitary and nothing justifies the beating.

Romance / Re: 13 Pictures 'friendzoned Victims' Can Relate To (pics) by wabbyland(m): 11:27pm On Dec 27, 2017
The expression “friend zone” has been made well known by the 1994’s American sitcom known as Friends . Particularly, the term was used in one of the episodes in the sitcom with title “The One with the Blackout”. In this episode, Ross Geller ’s character was very obsessed of Rachel Green by which described by the character of Joey Tribbiani for being the “Mayor of the Friend Zone”. According to its viewers, the query of whether the man could ever get out of the friend zone and start having a date with one of the female friends has helped allow the storyline of Rachel and Ross, a “Geek Dream Couple”, dramatically compelling.
In year 2005, the main character of “ Just Friends ” film, represented by Ryan Reynolds, joined up after 10 years with a female friend, who is represented by Amy Smart. The female character had actually informed her friend that she “loved him as a brother”, which essentially dashes any of his hopes loving her as his girlfriend. This only shows the possibility of men escaping the friend zone.

Family / Re: Today's Experience Changed My View On Domestic Violence by wabbyland(m): 6:03pm On Sep 17, 2017
Evaberry:
very few men are victims of domestic violence. Women always bear the brunt of a man's anger


No matter what a woman says or does, a man should never hit her, a man is physically stronger than a woman so hitting her will inflict serious physical damage, whereas a woman may not cause any real harm to a man.

Op the husband in your write Up should have quietly left the compound and go relax somewhere until he was sure his wife had calmed down. when a woman is angry she throws all reason and caution to the wind, it therefore falls on the man to be understanding and reasonable


Engaging in a fisticuffs with a woman is wrong and should be condemned.

its your type that encourage other women to engage men with those slanderous tongue. so the man did a bad thing by asking the woman to get him water and slipper?

Education / Difference Between "Trip", "Travel", And "Journey" by wabbyland(m): 11:22pm On Aug 16, 2017
Are there any significant
differences between words trip,
travel, and journey (nouns)?
Are those interchangeable words or
are there any specific expressions
which uses one of them but not
another?

These three words can be
synonyms, but have slightly
different connotations.
First, travel is usually a
verb...
I will travel to
Washington DC.
...but not always. In common
speech (at least as far as I
am familiar), when used as a
noun, it is used in its plural
form:
How were your travels ?
Compared to the
substantially equivalent
sentences:
How was your trip?
How was your journey?
One could also ask How was
your travel ?, but it this
would have a more specific
meaning, for instance, "How
was your flight from New York
to L.A.?" as opposed to "How
was your entire journey, and
the time you spent in L.A.?"
Trip and journey are more
closely interchangeable, and
vary mostly in duration,
distance, and formality.
A trip can be a short
journey. One can take a trip
to the store, but it would be
unusual (except in poetic
exaggeration) to take a
journey to the store
A journey would often imply
a longer (in terms of time
and/or distance) trip,
perhaps to multiple
destinations, or with a
greater sense of unknown. A
journey may not be fully
planned out ahead of time.
A business conference to
Seattle would probably be
described as a trip, whereas
a family vacation road-trip
from Nebraska, through the
Colorado Rockies, camping in
Nevada, then stopping in Las
Vegas and returning through
Oklahoma and Kansas, might
be described as a journey.
Often, in colloquial English
(at least in the U.S.), trip is
far more commonly used
than journey, even when
describing long/epic travels.
Both trip and journey can
also be verbs, but when used
as verbs they are not
interchangeable. To journey
is to engage in the act of
journeying:
We journeyed to the
Grand Canyon.
However to trip is to cause
someone to stumble or lose
their balance.
She tripped the thief
with her cane.
I tripped over the dog.
To trip up has the additional
connotation of causing
someone to blunder:
The reporter tripped up
the senator.
There are also some
additional cases where trip
and journey cannot be
interchanged in some
common expressions:
A guilt trip
A high brought on by
recreational drugs can
be called a "trip."
Trippy -- slang;
reminiscent of the
"trip" (high) brought on
by recreational drugs;
especially LSD.

Are there any significant
differences...?

Yes, there are. The context
defines. I would suggest the
following rule of thumb:
Simply as a process of
going from one place to
another — use travel ;
Travel by air nowadays is
cheaper than before.
Short journey or
business journey,
usually with a specific
place denoted, also
when the process of
going is more important
than the destination —
use trip;
If your time permits, take
a boat trip to the Samui
island.
After receiving an annual
bonus, I went on a trip
to Thailand.
I'm often away from the
office on business trips.
Long distance or short
but regular one — use
journey;
Did you have a good
journey?
On my journey to work, I
listen for music;
Going to several places
in a sequence, or going
with an organized group
— use tour;
I went on a tour of
France.
A long distance on ship
or space — use voyage
or cruise ;
His voyage around the
world took three years.
A voyage through space.

There are small differences
between these words. For
one, travel is more commonly
used as a verb than a noun.
You won't really hear
someone say "I'm going on a
travel", but you'll often hear
people say "I'm going on a
trip"
As for trip and journey, trip
usually refers to a small
casual outing that can be
anywhere from a few days to
a few weeks. Journey,
however, has a more epic
and grandiose connotation
associated with it. These may
span several months and
thousands of miles.
Historically, journeys
occurred more often when
there weren't modern forms
of travel and one had to walk
from one side of the
continent to another.
Take for example "Journey to
the West", a popular work in
Asian cultures about
traveling to another
continent to obtain the
scriptures. This journey was
long and epic, and had
multiple adventures within
in. As such, journey is less
used in modern day, but you
may see it more in works of
fiction.
