TFF of Europe

[Storm]

Hehe, seems like everybody is in the same boat finance-wise. I checked my bank balance today and am just under £600 so I need to get a part time job too haha! Especially considering it needs to last me until September or whenever our next uni year's student loan comes in and I have £350 a month rent... I don't have to worry about July and perhaps half of August and June depending on how I space out how i'm spending my holidays... but yeah... >.<

Oooh St Andrews.... I have a friend studying there. If you ever meet an English girl who never stops talking called Laura New, tell her I say hi!

Well, i got my student loan confirmation through a few months ago from SAAS and i'm getting £890 per year, which works out at about £75 a month i think.....

I will!

[Neo Necron]

I'm over £700 overdrawn.

I win.

Uni's stupidly expensive. I'm the tightest person in the world when it comes to money, as a lot of my friends here will testify, but I still manage to be that much in debt.

It's gotten to a point where it's so much less stress to just not worry about the expenditure, and deal with it when you Graduate.

It probably doesn't help that for me, Guinness, one of the most expensive pints, is almost a substitute for water.

Ah well I can top that. I'm exactly £1063.22 OD. So I win haha, but yeah I know what you mean on the Uni front. I have also got the taste of Jack in my mouth and at nearly £20 a bottle I don't have much sense.

I wouldn't even say I was that tight with my money but I'm not exactly generous either so I can't understand where it's going. My limit's 1250 though so I'm going to have to be a lot more careful. Or extend it

£867.86 in the red. I know what you two mean about just forgetting about it till graduation. My brother mentioned the sum 'One thousand pounds' a few weeks ago, and it took me a few minutes to adjust to the idea that a bank account could hold such amounts. When I look at the balance and see that it's a smaller number, I'm happy. Always working to the magical zero mark. It's like Heroin Hero in South Park, but Overdraft Hero...not at all. Oops.

Follow your instincts, Daisy. Shit people are everywhere, especially in crap jobs, but you just have to work out the quickest escape route from the places they reside in. It usually takes years to get away from them, but you'll make it fine.

[Chez Daja]

I'm thinking about trying to go back to college.

Last time, I did art, and whilst it still interests me, the social circle it attracts and forces into your life doesn't.

So... I have to decide.

Either I spend four long days a week in a stuffy classroom with an overstressed tutor and twenty nine other little chavs who don't know shit for two ****ing years.

Or I can join the chefs' department and become a parttime chef for the students, eventually making my way into a career via the college and then so on.

That, or I could get some shitty little job from WHSMITHS or some crap like that. It's a hard decision, but at the same time, not all that hard...

[Neo Necron]

Actually, of all part-time jobs in retail, I'd most prefer to work in WHS. A lot of friendly old people work there. Old people are nice to work with. In my experience... young people in parttime retail jobs aren't that nice :/

However, I have a part-time job in Web Development, which is a good job

[Banned Testicle]

The weather in stockholm has been warm, in fact we owned spain, 32 degrees celsius, you ass got owned.

Now its kind of cold though, I hope that the weather is better tomorrow though since Im going to the theme park!!

[L Lawliet]

Been here for some months but this is my first time coming to the clubs part of the forum.

I'm from Portugal and here is the picture you requested

The traffic light is winning but, unfortunatly, cheated to be able to gain the upper hand by knocking the panda out.

[Usagy]

Anybody else watches some of the football games lately?
Or at least the ones for your own country.
I really enjoyed watching Holland own the shit out of Italy, tonight they're playing again, so hoping they'll win against France!

Peace out

I'd simply love to watch my home country but unfortunately my foolhardy and somewhat pathetic national team managed to screw up a rather easy qualifying group to such an extent... they didn't bother to qualify. And then they lost to France 1-0. Bah.

Obviously i don't have any home nations in the Euros, so am supporting the Spanish instead, having been there a few times myself and realyl enjoying myself there.

England suck. No contest, I'm english and don't mind admitting this

[L Lawliet]

I haven't watched much of the games, just what they show in the news. The most I watched was Croatia vs Germany. It was pretty nice, at least the part I watched. Germany couldn't do a thing because of the pressure Croatia put in their defence.

[Govinda]

I've been watching bits of the Euro with my dad. Ever since Scotland beat France and lost to Georgia (yes, that did happen) I've been supporting Poland. But after seeing Holland whoop the Azuri, I'm rooting for the Dutch and the Polish both. Van Der Sar is my man of the tournament so far.

Haha sorry but I remember the loss to Georgia... you do the double over France then lost to them, I couldn't explain it. Poland have it all to do thanks to Howard Webb who may have got that holding decision completely correct in my opinion, but is still derided for it... but it's possible against a Croatian side who'll probably rest some players for the quarters. Though having said that with the Germans only needing a draw against an Austria side whom are not only playing for national pride but a sense of revenge for a certain event happening roughly 70 years ago (sorry to bring up the war but it happened) I have a feeling they'll find it tough.

Much as it irritates me the Dutch look outstanding and to inflict the heaviest defeat on the French in a major championship since 1958 is testament to their supposed togetherness and team spirit, often found lacking (and has actually been in the build-up) but I'm still having Portugal to win. They fielded a very weakened side against the Swiss and could still have ended up with a draw if Nani and Ricky Quaresma had taken chances. Still not to take away from the Swiss, they were exceptional and gave the hosts something to cheer about now both countries are out.

Croatia are the real dark horses though. If they can avoid injuries to Luka Modric and Nicky Kranjcar they should make the semis at least. Modric has really impressed me with his movement in and around the box, and Niko can keep things ticking over in the middle of the park. But Simunic is still a ticking time-bomb as far as I'm concerned so the defence in general will need to be impressed. Slaven has a well drilled unit and they are becoming a major force in International Football.

[Usagy]

Wow Holland really owned France last friday, I was shocked to see 4-1..wow.
They're on a role, and I truly have to agree, van der Sar was once again a freaking robot how he ninja'd all those balls away from the goal.
Tomorrow against Rumania, eventhough it's only a formal match since they're already to the next round I'm still curious to see how they will do.

Peace out

[Mr Spike]

The Euros really have taken over my life the last week and a bit..... the day is spent wondering who will win, then spending 4.30 until 10pm watchign football and eating..... the good days

[Usagy]

**** Russia!
Too bad Holland lost..but they played quite shitty against Russia.
I blame it on Russia's coach...he's Dutch too

Peace out

[L Lawliet]

So, the finalists are decided: Spain x Germany. Who do you want to win? I personally don't have a favorite between them but I'd say Spain since Germany was the one that kicked Portugal out of the tournament and, afterall, the Spanish are "nuestros hermanos"

[Govinda]

VAMOS SPAIN

I don't want Germany to win. Nothin against the Germans. But they don't have little shockers like Villa. And what cute little touches Torres put on tonight as well. Xavi from nowhere. Just ****ing revenge for that Russian defeat of Holland. I am still annoyed about that. 3-1. What a sad day. Up yours, Arseshaving. Srsly. I guess the better team won, but still, I liked seeing all these wee guys running around in bright orange.

Anyway. Spain for me. Germany are old guard, and I don't think they can keep up with this new, seemingly rejuvinated Spain. Then again, I haven't really seen Germany; my dad's yelling got too annoying whenever they were on. One can only take the other N word so much before leaving and finding somewhere quiet and father-free to sit down. God, that man can yell.

Anyway. Hasta la victoria d'Espagne! Has it ever been more obvious that I don't speak Spanish? I think not. I think Torres/Villa will put on a show for us.

[Martin]

Unfortunately not. I think Villa is definitely out now. But still letting loose a rejuvenated Torres against a somewhat ageing, mediocre German defence in Metzelder and Mertesacker is going to be fun to watch. Pip Lahm had a shocker too but he can still shoot. He scored a stunner against Costa Rica in the 4-1 demolition job otherwise known as the opening of the 2006 World Cup, and he did it again against the Turks the other night. He could be key... but he also needs to make a tackle occasionally.

[Meeno]

Oh, oh I wanna join!!! Can I? I'm in Croatia!

[Govinda]

Of course you can. We're in dire need of European Things to Talk About since Euro 08 ended (WELL DONE SPAIN).

In other news, this thread in on Page 42. This is surely a sign from Mr D. Adams. My flat next year is a 42 also; sometimes, I can't help but think that Deep Thought was right.

[RagnaToad]

I'd like to join, I'm from Belgium. And yes, I can drink beer like an animal.

I'm gonna drop some fine Western-European music on your asses ^^

cheers

[Chez Daja]

Holy shit, how long has it been since I saw you hanging out?

Welcome back, man. And yes, you can join. Just don't throw up on us.

[Meeno]

sorry guys, I haven't been active for a long while 'cause my internet connection is very very very slow, so I'll come now and then. and now, wazzup ppl?

[Chez Daja]

Hey, how're you?

Yeha, I'm leaving the forums for a while from middle-ish August. Sure, I'll be at home, but I won't be online. Boyfriend visiting.

How's your Summer been?

[RagnaToad]

Yeah it HAS been a while hasn't it. Im planning on buying FF Crisis Core and Im currently trying to find a way to beat Ozma solo (thats FF IX).

Ive been busy studying and drinking and stuff (but then how come I have to redo 8 of my exams O_o)

Anyway, anyone who likes to hear some new Alternative music should def check out the new Beck album!!! I like 'Gamma Ray' and 'Walls' a lot.
How?
Thank God for YouTube (w00t, blasphemy rules)

And as for European music: The Kills! Check out 'U.R.A. Fever' and 'Last Day of Magic'


NOTE: spam concerning good music is legal in my world, eat this admins and mods (this does include Chez)

[Govinda]

The other continents appear to be usurping us.

So, what about Sarkozy as EU Pres, huh? Yeah, let's talk EU! Since it's all we've got going for us and it's still too weak to tell Russia to **** off.

Aha, actually, that's a European-related thing. How do you feel about the Russian situation, guys? Are they being bolshy and reckless, or were they just defending South Ossetia against the mental Georgian president?

[Martin]

Ach. I don't want to offend the Russian contigent of TFF (should we have one) but well... I don't like their actions one little bit. I'm sorry but I do feel rather qualified to comment on Russian behaviour because well I've studied it so long. And I just am not a fan. It was overly aggressive and very undiplomatic. I just thought it was very unnecessary.

However I suppose it should be taken to account that you have to be reliant on what the media portrays. And well it's not good is it.

As for it starting a new Cold War? Bah. Medvedev and Putin aren't stupid enough. The Russian economy is dependant on Western energy companies buying their plentiful resources. So while they do for the time being have a reasonable bargaining chip, when new energy methods come into play, they could find their hand turns into a busted flush.

And Nick Sarkozy... Jury's out on that one.
