How much did you win?
Makes me wonder what 'Arry would have done over the last 3 tournaments.

Why do the English persist in believing they will win?

2 world wars and one world cup, doo-dah, doo-dah...
The same reason anyone believes they will win I suppose.

I think it's reasonable to expect England to beat Iceland. Seeing as all ofvengland players play in the pl and a lot of Iceland players play on the lower leagues of English football and Iceland don't even have a professional team in their league

Who wants to play France at their home anyway?
A loss to them would have lingered longer.

Seriously, you should've kept Sven-Göran Eriksson.
But then again, winning with that team would have been a wonder of biblical proportions.

If by "political intrigue and sexuality" you mean "cheap drivel written by morons who understand nothing about the world outside of American couch-potato land", then yup.

Have you ever actually read one of the books or watched a season of the show?
To not like it is one thing, but to be that hyperbolic kinda makes you look like the moron.

0. Yes, I have. If you still watch it and do not realise that it's turned into drivel, you should have your fanboi levels checked, because they're getting dangerously high.
1. I didn't use hyperbole. There is no "political intrigue" in the show (e.g. the things with the sparrow, and the "man" are poorly written drivel, pure and simple), and the "sexuality" is no more than "tits and @rses" titillation, to keep fanbois watching.
1+. As is so often the case with TV shows with US involvement, the characters have long since started to change character and become completely different people, every five minutes.
1++. An example of the mindless writing that make such drivel unwatchable to me: the "see" and "sea" thing, which was used to make some meaningful mindless point. Think about it; what does it mean? The mindless writer obviously didn't realise how completely moronic he was making himself look.
1++.2 The show is infested with (let's be gentle and call them "gaffes", shall we) as bad as or worse than that, of different flavours and in different fields (it's not just politics, human nature, characterisations, and linguistics that they appear to have no knowledge of or abilities with). It has so many shortfalls that it's unwatchable to anyone who does actually know how anything works and/or how to write about it.

So, what swordsman is going to get the sorcerer in the end?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

No, because the evil brother will work with the tennis coach to spread rumours around that the swordsman is having an affair with his wife's second cousin, and his father-in-law, who controls the business, will tell him to shape up or get fired, but will then get killed in a terrorist attack which will call to attention the shady dealings of the company's second-in-command, who will turn state's evidence and dump all the blame on the youngest son who......
Damn! this stuff just writes itself!

This has probably been discussed before, but why not go around again? (...and, of course, I'm too lazy to dig through the archives...)
So my wife got me the new RWBY disk, and I was looking forward to the fun of working on a side project in Ruby (the language) while binge watching all the seasons. I had just finished up the Trigun series doing this project, so it was time to change up the entertainment.
Thinking about it, though, it seems that a kind of system has emerged. When I'm working on C projects, I usually put in a series of horror movies: Mama, Mirror, Altitude, the new/old Evil Dead movies, etc. Must be something about demons and pointers that just go well together. Ruby, my newest coding language, seems to have me pulling from the anime shelf in my collection.
When I'm in the home office for my day job, I have VLC running through some playlists or albums on my headset so I can concentrate. But even there, I seem to have some go-to music, depending on what kind of project I'm working on. If it's a C# project, I tend to play Five Finger Death Punch or Disturbed a lot (that might be self-explanatory).
If it's a Java project, I tend to have Green Day or Meatloaf. OTOH, if it's working on the database design, I tend to play a lot more 80s stuff.
So my question is this: Has anyone else noticed that their taste in music or background noise seems to change according to what kind of work you are doing? Or is it truly just white noise to help you concentrate?
