I bet you have fun at the Mac Donalds drive thru. Big Mac please. "Do what?" Big Mac please. "Do what? Oh! I could listen to you all day">
Some friends had "fun" at Sonic ordering a ba-nar-nar milkshake. Said it so many times the passenger had to say "just say ban-an-ah". Like what other word could they possibly be saying even if it's with an accent?
Q: Where I was on that day? A: Wembley If I stop there it sounds hugely impressive. If I add that I was 3 and spent the entire game sitting on a swing in my back garden (a mile and a bit from the ground) sulking, as the adults wouldn't leave the match and push me, it loses a little. As kids, we would watch cup finals on TV and when a goal went in we'd run out into the garden to hear the roar of the crowd a couple of seconds later. Even better, I went to every England match as a kid from the age of 6 (not Scotland - Sorry Spurf, Wembley and its residents battened down the hatches when the marauding hordes were in attendance) as well as the speedway, ice hockey, etc. Also, in '72 when we played Gunter Netzer's German side, my best mate (whose older brother was Wembley FC's goalkeeper) got us invited to the England training session at the Wembley FC ground (the Germans used Wembley Stadium). Moore, Banks, Peters and Ball were there with Chivers and the players were really great to us. We got to have a little kick around with them and got their autographs. A great day. Still, I was in Wembley when we won it (sort of).
http://www.espnfc.us/tottenham-hots...le-is-europes-best-box-to-box-midfielder-cies I just read ’em. I don’t make ’em up. Look a little closer and you’ll see Dembélé was the winner in their stat algorithm because he did really well on a combination of things: tackles, completion percentage, and, I think, especially, take-ons. OTT? On the face of it, sure. On the other hand, the difference between our win rate with him in midfield and without him was extreme. I’d be hard pressed to name a player anywhere who did more to win the midfield battle. I also remember what seemed like a strange comment from Hazard a couple of years ago, when he said Dembélé was better than he was. Alli was fourth on the list, incidentally.
Well that’s because you have an accent and we don’t. (Now, what have they done with those "Run" and "tin hat" emoticons?) And most of us speak American very badly! I like American English, even more than English English, to tell you the truth. It’s a beautiful thing when used well. But it’s rare when it is. Many if not most of the best examples are dialect. The saddest thing is that the best standard American English of the past century may have been written by Vladiimir Nabokov.
Spurs top the pre-season miles travelled table with 22,468, almost 8,000 more than 2nd placed Chelsea. Plenty of time to recover from jet lag?
Most of the starting eleven did not go to Australia though so if they all play against Inter it will be just like a weekend city break in Oslo.
Our first team have their feet up at home. Lamela is the original Duracell Bunny and Christian Eriksen's Denmark didn't make The Euro's and needs to suffer for not signing a new contract. Victor Wanyama had a decent summer off. My worry is our first team may be under-prepared rather than knackered like some.
"Hi, nice to meet you, my name is Spurm" "" "Oh for crying out loud, it's a perfectly common word and only has one bloody syllable. S-P-U-R-M. How difficult can it be?" "" "Oh forget it."
+1. I want the PL first team to be playing like a pack of rabid pressing dogs until at least the time Dembele reports back for PL duty. I trust there has been no slacking in the training sessions intensity back in the UK just because Pochettino was in Oz.
Rory McIlroy crashes out of the PGA Championships and misses out on the prize money. Expect him to change his mind about the Olympics in a day or two...
Why does New York always finish up being destroyed in films? Godzilla, King Kong, tsunamis in The Day After Tomorrow and When Worlds Collide, the ghosts in Ghostbusters, The Hulk smashing it up in The Avengers, aliens in Independence Day, Armageddon, a giant creature in Cloverfield, solar flares in Knowing, bad guys smashing things up in Escape From New York, missiles and mutations in I Am Legend, a comet in Deep Impact, more water in Domesday Prophecy and A.I Artificial Intelligence , giant flying robots in Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow......
Yeah, New Yorkers are pretty rude. But not as rude as Parisians. Also, most New Yorkers are nice. Most Philadelphians, on the other hand, are mean as snakes as well as being every bit as rude as New Yorkers.
The simple answer is because it has a high concentration of recognisable landmarks, i.e. the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Madison Square Garden, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, Rockerfeller Plaza etc etc which serves as both shorthand for the trailer, as you know NYC is getting trashed if you see the Empire State Building getting blown up (again...) while also making it identifiable for global audiences. A similar thing happens with other cities that get trashed in films, for example... * Washington DC and the White House (Independence Day, White House Down, Olympus Has Fallen) * Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign (The Day After Tomorrow, San Andreas, Earthquake) * San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge (Godzilla, X-Men 3, 2012, Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus) * London and the Houses of Parliament (V For Vendetta, London Has Fallen, Reign of Fire, Independence Day 2: Independenter) * Paris and the Eiffel Tower (Mars Attacks, GI Joe: rise of the Cobra, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3)
