Seeing a silly photo on FB or watching Eurovision

Exactly!
BTW. Last year during FIFA World Cup I had a great time.

Not much football over the summer.

Copa America I can watch from here. Looking forward to it.

Under 20 World Cup starts here in 3 days. New Plymouth has the honour of hosting Brazil, Nigeria, Hungary and North Korea. Can go to all 5 games (Brazil, North Korea is in Christchurch, plus a quarter final for around $100 - 50 quid)

And the news this morning is that 6 FIFA officials were arrested by Police
Just what do the Police know ,about the "Gifts" and "Brown Envelopes" ,"Free Holidays" ,and is the world now being awakened to the corruptness in this club of officials ?

There are two different investigations involving this. One in Switzerland and one in the US. Hopefully those guilty will be weeded out and dealt with and FIFA can regain some credibility.

True, but the problem with our half-baked government means the same thing is happening nation wide.

I am considering doing a business management degree, starting at the end of June - not too sure yet though.

I was in your position back at the end of March. We had a meeting to tell us that the company was in trouble financially and they needed to lose people. They asked for staff to come forward if they wanted to take voluntary redundancy. I didn't put myself forward as the Design Manager (my boss) told me there was no way they would get rid of me. It was bad timing as I was due to go on holiday for 2 weeks at the beginning of April.

I came home to a letter telling me I was redundant! Two other designers were up too. They decided to keep the junior designer on because of his cheap salary and get rid of three senior staff. I was gutted for about a week but have ended up getting a job as a Design Engineer for a lot more money and only a few miles from home. Before I was commuting 40 miles each way so it shows things happen for a reason and usually work out!

I hope you get a good solution Anfield, all the best on that mate

Thanks for the thoughts henners. Things usually have a habit of working out for the best, so it's a case of wait and see

I don't go through other members profiles. However I've just been looking through some. In the couple of years I've been on here. Based on the way they communicate and embellish Lewis Hamilton. I would've thought truefan72 was in his early 20s, and The Black Knight a teenager. I was left stunned at the truth.
