I know football pales into insignificance compared to the devastation, loss of life and property with what's happened, but I thought I'd mention this as I heard it over the weekend. The Turkish Super League is set to resume in a couple of weeks. If I've got the clubs right, Hatayspor and Gaziantep have both withdrawn from all games for the rest of the season. The turkish league have stated they will not be relegated. Also, all the players from those teams will be allowed to play on loan at any other club in the league during that period. In other news, Mohammed Kudus scored for Ajax in their game over the weekend, removed his shirt with the message 'RIP Atsu'. The ref came up to him and said, I have to book you but this is bigger than football so I'm not going to, and walked off.
I've seen enough Aircrash Investigations set around bad weather landing in the U.S. to know just how dangerous they are. Wind shear I think? is a big problem! That flight I was on about, those 20 mins while we diverted were the longest of my life. The funniest/daftist thing was at one point we were flying over the sea and the bloke in front of me put on the life jacket. The flight attendant walks past, sees him and say, why have you got that on. To which he replies, we're flying over water. And she says, but if there's a bomb we blow up, why are you worried about the water. She then had a right go at him. Me and another bloke behind were pissing ourselves laughing in the seats behind which kind of eased the tension.
It's going to take a long time to put them towns and villages back together. Years, but more than likely decades across both countries. At the moment there's thousands sleeping on the streets and the lucky ones are placed into tents on makeshift campsites. It seems like there could be more to come yet.
I agree, from what i've seen it looks like the total infastructure is fooked, anything that is left standing probably shouldn't be. I know the Turkish president was setting a target of one year to put it all back together, not sure what planet he's on, but a year would just be a shamble of the buildings that came down due to previous short comings, and financial corruption of their construction industry. The cost alone will be astronomical and you can pretty much guess that insurers will be in hiding. I wouldn't even know where to start with something on that scale. Turkey has a bigger population than the UK, and the scale of the damage is the size of the UK, I think if it was me, I'd go find myself a boat and fook off out the place it's an absolute disaster...I wonder how many people they can fit in Cyprus.
Looks like some Leeds fans may have gotten too excited about their new manager, just checked out his Wikipedia page and looked at his honours won as a manager: Lol just refreshed and its been removed already
Just had a quick google about Mugabe. He was ****in mental As talks against racial discrimination emerge in parts of the world, an old speech by Mugabe is currently going viral over WhatsApp and Facebook. Although the exact source of when and where he made this speech is not known. His speech reads, "Racism will never end as long as white cars are still using black tyres. Racism will never end if people still use black to symbolise bad luck and white for peace. Racism will never end if people still wear white clothes to weddings and black clothes to funerals. Racism will never end as long as those who don't pay their bills are blacklisted not whitelisted. Even when playing snooker, you haven't won until you've sunk the black ball, and the white ball must remain on the table! But I don't care, as long as I'm still using white toilet paper to wipe my black ass, I'm happy."*
Fooking hell I'd never ever given it a thought, my own interpretation of that in a simpler form would be black is negativity and white is positivity. Although in electrics didn't we use to have a black wire which was neutral, then some racist changed it to blue, oh and we changed the live wire from red to brown.
