Better cold than hot.

 

Not an awful lot, other than trade based. Putin knows that.

 

LOL

I liked it, and Fifa 14 is good too. When I'm playing it online I limit myself to two games a day, otherwise it gets far too frustrating. I either play well for a few games, then it goes to ****, or I start off ****, and it just gets worse! If I'm playing with mates on the sofa though, I could play all night, so much fun! Don't mind losing so much when you can turn aroudn and give them a dead arm.

 

The Iraq War seems to have put people off going to war/using military action in other countries, which is a good thing. Afghanistan was also technically illegal.

 

Goddamnit the voice is awful.

Also Ricky, getting a 16 year old girl to sing 'Sexy and I Know It' is sketchy at best.

Ridiculous show.

 

I hate it because it's far too stressful, and I usually get the same thing. I end up playing more games than I intend to to try to go on a winning streak to get my player's form up which never happens, and my players are **** and I have only 800k left which can't buy me anyone half decent.. Ironically find it much easier to play real people online than the computer.

 

Don't know if there's any boxing-heads out there in this place, but watching the James DeGale fight on C5. He really is incredibly hard to like......

 

Anyone ever had any luck with dating websites?

 

You would get more satisfaction out of dating people.

 

This was an interesting article about it all http://www.newrepublic.com/article/116810/putin-declares-war-ukraine-why-and-what-next

 

Online dating is soul destroying. Preserve your sanity, don't do it.

 

Indeed. Thanks for that Qwerty - really good summary.

 

Yes.

 

haha enjoyed that!

It would seem so for the most part. But I've been texting someone who was sourced from it for a couple of weeks. Attempting to go on an actual date with her. But is proving tricky to do so. Not sure if it's because 'she's actually an obese 50 year old man, or because she is just genuinely busy at the moment. I'll stick with it as I've got no better options.

 

Is that a yes for the general population of dating website users, or a yes of personal experience?

 

Vladimir Putin is possibly the most dangerous individual to have walked the earth since Adolf Hitler. The parallels between the situation in Ukraine and the Nazis' manipulation of the Polish Corridor prior to World War II are scary.

 

The problem is that you might really like a person on line...their humour, personality etc...but not fancy them at all. Unless you are a stunner/hunk (delete as applicable), it must take a lot of self confidence to agree to an actual date.

 

Well, good luck. I went on 'dates' with a few people, and all of them I fell out of contact with shortly after. Then there's the people who you've been talking to with for while then suddenly they stop replying to texts or Facebook messages, so just to warn you of that possibility.

Also online dating apparently seems to give people the impression that it's okay to be rude and in act in way you wouldn't in real life.

Hate to say it PL, but there's only one common denominator there......
