  1. Here's a tip for the dissatisfied women footballers of the world.

    If Fifa is the misogynist devil you portray it to be, set up your own world football organisation and get on with making the women's game all you think it can be. If you are free to think and act for yourselves, women's football can find avenues Fifa is incapable of travelling down. Design your own future, and maybe even redesign the actual game.

  2. And more on this theme of women lying - Source

     

    After duping Irish and Canadian authorities with horrific tales of being a child sexual abuse victim, serial troublemaker Samantha Azzopardi is returning home to Australia this week.

    The 26-year-old from Sydney, who has used more than 40 aliases, was considered a flight risk and so devious Canadian authorities decided to keep her locked up until she boarded a flight back to Australia on Tuesday.

    A Canadian Border Security Agency officer will escort Azzopardi on the flight, the Calgary Herald reported.

    "Ms Azzopardi has a long history of impersonating others, lying and committing fraud," hearing officer Rhonda Macklin, at immigration proceedings in Calgary, said.

    When Azzopardi was found wandering the streets of Dublin, Ireland, last year she led authorities to believe she was a teenage sex-trafficking victim from eastern Europe...............................

  3. "does not allow you to choose your own background."

     

    I can just see the marketing execs in $soft - "How do we cripple this software to make the user pay for features that we've already developed but are too mean, to let the user have?" "I know! Don't let them choose their own background! That'll show them!"

  4. For me, a bit suspicious now that many, many women have come forward to speak out against this guy!

     

    Quite right to be suspicious, but that is truth by popularity.

     

    I remember many years ago, as an average looking young guy, I had very poor success with the females, due to my social standing. When a year later I turned up with a pretty wife and a good business, the self same girls were all over them selves trying to interest me in their virtues...

     

    What I'm trying to say is, that feckless people will chase the money, true or not. Whilst Michael Jackson undoubtedly, was a piece of work, look at the legion of unfounded claims against him, even after his death. You only have to have a picture of yourself getting an autograph from M Jackson when you were a child, to be able to retain top lawyers who'll sue and sue and sue.

  5. Once again, I am not defending Cosby or any sexual predator (Hows that for a presumption of innocence?), the story I note below is to support my assertion that women sometimes lie.

     

    Rolling Stone doubts its University of Virginia gang rape story.

     

    Rolling Stone says it no longer trusts the account of a brutal gang rape described in an explosive story it published last month about sexual assaults at the University of Virginia.

     

    The story, written by contributing editor Sabrina Rubin Erdely, opens with a grisly account from a woman identified only as Jackie, who described being attacked by several members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, sexually assaulted for hours and raped with a beer bottle at their fraternity house.

     

    The article sparked anger and protests, and prompted the University of Virginia to suspend all fraternity activities until next year. The university also pledged to re-examine the way it handles sexual assault allegations and asked police to investigate the alleged assault, which Jackie said in the article occurred in 2012 when she was a freshman.

     

    You be the judge...

  6. God's Pocket (2014)

     

    IMDB - "When Mickey's crazy step-son Leon is killed in a construction 'accident', nobody in the working class neighborhood of God's Pocket is sorry he's gone. Mickey tries to bury the bad news with the body, but when the boy's mother demands the truth, Mickey finds himself stuck in a life-and-death struggle between a body he can't bury, a wife he can't please and a debt he can't pay."

     

    This is a little gem of a movie. I watched it last week on a flight from Dubai, but I've downloaded it since and the airline version is heavily censored, particularly for language. So will have to watch it again, which I would have done anyway.

     

    Starring the late great (must have been one of his last films) Philip Seymour Hoffman and another favourite actor of mine, John Turturro.

     

    Just watched this, very good.

  7. Iraq Says It Found 50,000 'Ghost Soldiers' on Payroll

     

    BAGHDAD — Iraq's new government has discovered 50,000 "ghost soldiers" who received army salaries without showing up for work, a practice which accelerated the military's collapse in the face of ISIS fighters six months ago. The names were uncovered in an investigation launched by Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi, who took office in September, his spokesman Rafid Jaburi said. "Ghost soldiers" were men on the army payroll who paid their officers a portion of their salaries and in return did not show up for duty, enriching their commanders and hollowing out the military force.

     

    "Those 50,000 soldiers were revealed after an intense search through military documents and there will be a field search in order to put an end to this phenomenon and any other form of corruption," Jaburi said. Local officials in Mosul said the city should have been defended from an ISIS attack in June by 25,000 soldiers and police, but in reality the number was at best 10,000. ISIS militants took over the city with barely a fight.

     

    Since taking over as premier from Nuri al-Maliki, Abadi has sacked dozens of military officials appointed during Maliki's eight-year rule and pledged to root out corruption. On Monday Abadi's office announced he had retired 24 senior Interior Ministry officials and replaced them with new officers under a reform plan to make the security forces "more effective in confronting terrorism."

  8. The outpouring of emotion in this part of the world has been phenomenal, you'd think that Princess Di had risen from the grave and been raped and killed again...

     

    The NZ Cricketers, openly Macho men they are, whinged about not wanting to be on the pitch whilst playing a test match, their emotions being so fragile you see. They went on to win, not something that happens very often for the NZ Cricket Team.
