Who's more unhappy at Newcastle, Toon³ or the footballers? *Off-Topic*

Heathrow bores me.

I like airports.

Heathrow bores me.

I land there on my way to Amsterdam. How is it?

[tigerdave]

Boring as hell, and tough to navigate. Been there a few times myself, and I prefer Gatwick if possible.

Sensational quote in your sig, btw.

Great, and here I have the idea I'm gonna have to time to eat and get a beer before for the Amsterdam flight.

I love the quote. The Romanian media has been surpisingly fruitful this week. They had the letter Chivu wrote to his teammates. Gut wrenching, I'll post it if you want.

Fire me a PM or post, either or.

"Dear teammates,

It's been few days I cannot find peace. I feel guilty. There are many questions I cannot answer. Had I been more careful, could I have avoided that elbow to my face? If I didn't operate myself, could I have been on the field in Rotterdam? I cannot find peace of mind. I was willing to enter the field with or without the mask, if this damn respiration were situated in a normal range. I would have dealt with pain. I'm used to it. It cannot be worse than now when I realize that I'll miss such an important game. It cannot be worse than the pain provoked by every failed qualification.

I'm missing one of the most important games that we have played together in the last years. We've experienced so much pain together. And remember how painful a failed qualification can be. Remember what is like to leave the field bowing, tears in our eyes, looking for excuses. We have no more excuses. It's not the last game deciding the qualification's faith, but we have to play as if it were the last one. Usually us humans do the necessary things to reach what's possible. However this time, dear teammates, "we" have to do - if you permit me to include myself in the context - the impossible. I'm talking about attitude, concentration, altruism, sacrifice and last but not least intelligence. I hope that you, dear teammates, will forgive me not being with you. I, for once, cannot forgive myself. I hope you'll also think about me when you'll enter the pitch as you think about the millions of people who are expecting 'THE POSSIBLE'."

I got a call today from a headhunter.:confused: Very interesting they asked me a bunch of questions and then tried to set up a lunch meeting to talk about my career. They wouldn't disclose the company that they were working for until I agreed to meet them. Maybe I should tell them that I spend at least 30% of my work day on Youtube and BigSoccer.:D

You mean a headhunter as in someone who hunts employees?

[Dirt McGirt]

You mean a headhunter as in someone who hunts employees?Yeah they hunt for employees that have been targeted directly or that meet certain criteria. It was kind of weird because I kept getting these really vague voice mails from a 877#. It's happened a couple times before but it's always been a company calling me directly not a third party.

So Jeff I've got a language question for you. I'm gonna start learning Romanian and I was wondering if you knew of a good program or method I could use.

I like this one but I just wanted to know what you think because you have successfully learned another language.

Go to Arizona State. :)

[ToonUSA]

Go to Arizona State. :)

Why? :confused:

[tigerdave]

Why? :confused:

Because there you can learn Romanian from a native-speaking professor whose methods are effective? Not to mention that whole show up and try and get an A bit. :cool:
