He probably could actually. He wouldn't get a lot, but he could claim everyone who's read the comment now thinks less of him and therefore it's damaged his reputation.
Yep, just uniform. I wore one at Uni on every occasion I was in the lab. I still have it somewhere. When I lived in NZ I explored the idea of becoming a Radiologist. I even went to the then Southland General Hospital and attended a small lecture and an informal tour. At one point I was coming out of the Ultrasonic Scanning room alone when a patient came up to me and asked about his condition. I can't remember the exact words, but he ended his enquiry with Doc..! And the there was no question that he was in total earnest and obviously worried. There I was, in my suit trousers, black shoes, white shirt and tie, and most importantly... the white coat. I asked him who his appointed doctor was and he told me, so I suggested he pop along to the ward desk to get hold of him. What else was I supposed to do and it seemed to help..? Come to think of it, a lot happened on that day due to that white coat..!
Clyne on Player talking about his testing at Solent University. Said Dejan could see what to do after him, but, then grinned, and said I don't think he got up to my speed. He has (jokingly) set himself a target of 3 goals and 5 assists for the coming season. Mentioned new players joining them in preseason, then corrected it to 'player'. Shouldn't read too much into that I suppose, but why not!
Did he stand on his tiptoes to get the height of 190cm? Or has he just seriously sucked his chest up?
thanks for the concern and I take your point but I don't see the difference between it and people talking about agents, players fans, pundits etc. The only difference is I actually know the people in question. Thanks to Qwerty I'm fine to express my opinion and point of view.
To be fair, I didn't think less of him after reading that Nope. That didn't do anything for me either
I have to admit if my son suggests that someone is a twat, I immediately assume the man concerned is probably a sensible person.
I was talking with my niece yesterday and suddenly on the radio they were reporting the latest on Andy Murray's Wimbledon win. She snapped, I hate him, and I asked for why..? She said, because he says he's Scottish and I don't agree with it. I said, but he is Scottish. She said, well I think he's a twat. I said, him deciding that he's Scottish first and British afterwards is hardly any concern to others. You're a quarter Italian, but nobody hates you for being so. After all, what does it really matter..? Yes, I come to a similar conclusion.
Went to School with Scott and always thought he was a decent lad(admittedly a few years ago). I have now reevaluated my opinion of him as a twat and will tell any one else who I am mutually acquainted with.
Well, I think the fact that you know them is the difference. When you are talking about people you don't actually know, everyone realises that and knows that basically its just hot air. This is different though as you stated it as as a 'fact'. As others have said, by definition, name calling has to be subjective. I'm sure there are many people who would consider you a twat for example.........and me!
Seeing Lovren all wired up in the Gym reminded me a bit of Drago in Rocky 1V! Some of that "if he dies, he dies" spirit when going into tackles would be welcome!!
I would have less respect for him if he pretended he considered himself British. I am of the opinion that borders are meaningless and we are all human (except the french, obviously), but I understand the history behind what Britain is and respect why some of our 'members' wouldn't want to be a part of it. I think a lot of my fellow Englishmen would be surprised at how fervently current members (and former members) of the UK and British Empire feel about no longer being a part of it, it seems all rosy from our perspective but they see themselves as nothing more than a conquered people, lacking the same privileges as us English. Sometimes I feel that gets in the way of common discourse and I have met Irish people who think I am English therefore I am an evil imperialist, and that bothers me, but never the less I don't think its a reason to hate Andy Murray. He does seem like a grumpy sort though.
Has he said he doesn't consider himself British? Understand why he would consider himself Scottish...same as I consider myself English, but he has represented Britain in the Davis Cup and the Olympics and he thanked the support of the British fans after his recent win.
No, in fact he described himself as "a British winner" in his Wimbledon speech, which renders this whole discussion moot I would say.
