Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

It was brilliant, I have a fair bit of man love for Will Smith, never comes across as an arsehole despite him being a huge star.

 

And (apparent) Scientologist. I know it's a particularly stupid religion, but its most famous celebrity members don't actually seem too bad. Tom Cruise actually seems alright, Leah Remini is hot so I've convinced myself she must be nice, Beck seems okay.

 

Intrigued by what Andros Townsend could have done wrong to fall foul of the FA's betting rules, I decided to look them up. Had no idea just how stringent they were, you can't bet on any competition you are involved in, are due to be involved in or have already been knocked out of. In other words he wouldn't have been allowed to bet on any Premier League, FA cup or Capital One matches, or get anyone else to do so on his behalf. I'd always assumed it was just games you were involved in directly.

Here's Graeme Le Saux explaining it so well even Rooney should understand.

Joe, wondered if you've any experience with either medical or family law? Those two are pretty much what my module options for next year have come down to, if you've any input on either of them it'd be appreciated.

 

I love my house, this is what my doorstep gave us today:

Student accommodation Dan? Can't make out the bottoms pic. What is it?

 

Yeah, Uni owns the house, we rent it off them so it's not halls but it's still crappy and cheap. The bottom pic is from the arch above the doorstep, it's where all that **** came from!

 

Ouch. Emergency landlord number probably not available til Tuesday eh?

 

Yeah, they're horrendous when it comes to repairs but we'll let them know ASAP so they can't be angry at us. We're all moving out in a fortnight anyway!

 

You'll have to move to Laura's house

 

Hello. Erm no, I didn't do either.

 

What use are you? Get out Steinberg.

 

Well my mum did family law. She was a divorce lawyer until I came along and ruined her life.

 

I know a good Family Law book if that helps.

 

My front door last year was amusing too. Any water that got onto the bathroom floor upstairs would seep through the floor and rain down onto the doorstep. So basically any time anyone took a shower/bath or mopped the bathroom floor, it was a challenge to enter/exit the house without getting wet. Unless the landlord fixed that like he said I would, I worry for the people who live there now.

 

Slightly funny side effect is that according to the rules, a player who plays for Dog & Duck Reserves in the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round isn't allowed to bet on Wigan to win the Final 8 months later. But I don't suppose the FA really care about that. A lot of warnings get sent out regularly about this stuff (and about usingf supplements which may break drug rules) saying "don't go anywhere near it or you can get in big trouble". So it seems a bit silly if nothing else.

 

Do these warnings say exactly that...?

Just that on a piece of FA headed paper?

 

I have just been followed by the Swansea boy of League Cup infamy. What do I do?!?!?!

 

Footballers are simple folk.
