I don't want to be banned for nudity
I play every game with subs on. For one, I just prefer it and two I also like to skip dialogue if possible and just read ahead.

Meeting with film studio next week, a week before exams. Not good for the nerves.
What for, if you don't mind me asking?

Small film production company/studio. Very small. It's a meeting regarding the script I have written. Just preliminary talks, they already have read it and find it 'interesting', they just want to know more about me I suppose.

Poeple are calling London shit? Cognitive Dissonance?
The inde scene is fantastic. Every single night, there is at least 10 gigs happening at once. Old Street is fantastic for clubbing. There are more art Exhibitions than anywhere else in the world. There is Football, there is Japanese people you can meet and there is St. Pauls....

Oh, that's great! Wish you all the luck. When you make it big, please acquire the movie rights for Gibson's Neuromancer and write a stellar script for it. I'd like to see this fucking film made before I die. Thank you.
Good read, thanks for sharing. I like Arnie's analogy about the wizards in the Harry Potter world. Soccer is definitely growing here at a big rate. I work at a university and I typically see at least 1-2 students a day when walking around wearing kits and the like (so much Barca!). FIFA (the game) has really helped the sport grow here.

Pay no attention to jealous Northerners.
There are a number of levels to the American "soccer pyramid" although the teams below the MLS are much, much smaller and the caliber of play is obviously rather poor. 2nd level teams usually get 4-5k attendees with it getting smaller from there. Most of the teams are at least moderately semi-pro or the players are paid almost nothing. Austin has a 4th level team that I've gone to some games for.. the team gets about 1-2k people per game. It is a semi-pro team. Orlando City (my hometown club) is in the 3rd division but is hoping to jump to the MLS within the next few years and will if we can get a soccer-specific stadium built as many hope will happen. Orlando City gets around 7-9k people per game which is pretty impressive.
College men's soccer is relatively rare because there exists something called Title IX that limits the number of scholarships so that men and women must have the same number overall across all sports. American football takes up a LOT of scholarships (usually 85) and men's basketball (15ish) and baseball (12ish) also take up a good number of those that are left which then leaves no scholarships for men's soccer so the schools simply don't field a team.

The United supporters hate London because it takes them ages to get up to Manchester.
Says the Chelsea fan from Northern Ireland
Don't see that many Arsenal fans over here. It's all Chelsea/United where I live or the usual Celtic/Rangers.

Fair point, but in my experience those who dislike London are at least one of the following:
A)Northerners
B)Farmers
C)Pensioners

I actually know a disproportionate amount of Arenal fans. Of the people I associate with who actually watch football, the Arsenal and United fans are top, Chelsea next. I have a City supporting friend and only 2 Liverpool friends would you believe. There's even a wee token Spud in there, eugh.
Edit: Probably worth noting the Arsenal fans are all older fellas. Who probably supported them from when they were... you know... good.

London is amazing but the concentration of money and power within the M25 is fucking disgusting. A monument to the inequity of our society: impoverished slums nestled in amongst the heart of British culture, and all the opulence and decadence of our minority rich on show for all to see. Some people there aren't living in the real world. I guess that can be said of people from all over, but still... as a Northern Brit who has lived in the South, I've a love hate relationship with it. I've enjoyed it immensely the last few times I've been (cost aside), I love the buildings, the parks, the regal architecture, the monuments, the bustle of life, the wealth of entertainment, the night life.. but I can't stand snobs and elites and cultural hipsters who seem to want to drown the country in their love of the place. I don't mind a visit but I'd rather live in Liverpool, Manchester or Newcastle. And I can't stand those places either to be honest. I wanna go live in a fuckin wigwam or something. One with electricity and videogames and no gobshites other than me.

the quality of their arts culture is undeniable but nobody has time for one another. the city is impersonal and full of dickheads. unlike london would have you believe, a friendly atmosphere and active culture are not mutually exclusive things
just visit liverpool for example

"Palermo e' solo rosanero!"
That's questionable, when you have more Juve fans than your own in the stands during Palermo - Juve.

You've got us confused with Inter.
There's more Toro fans in torino than juve fans..."Palermo e' solo rosanero!"

Where are you from again, Timurid?
My point is not that Juventus fans have to be from Torino--I'm not--but something something those in glass houses.....
When it comes to fairy tales, I like Little Red Riding Hood better.
I'm from the states. I mean don't go around saying why is there more juve fans in so so city. We both know that majority of juve fans are away fans.
Cautiously optimistic, may be a tad hyperbolic
Edit: Woah that was my 10,001st post. Celebration?
Dude I'm not exaggerating the film was fantastic!!

What? I'm bad at detecting sarcasm.
I'm not sure I get your point. There are about 14 million Juve fans in Italy. Torino (city core) has the population of about 1 million. Of course the majority of Juve fans are away fans. Meanwhile, there's no proof whatsoever that there are more Toro than Juve supporters in Torino. In fact, everything seems to suggest the exact contrary.

Tim: Well, unlike Torino FC, Juventus is a team that is internationally well know. Of course there will always be in total more Juventus fans worldwide than just in Torino. But there are more Juventus fans in Torino, and in Piedmont more generally, than Granata fans. Simple fact. I wish I could find that map that gazzetta put out that broke it down...
And Zab just said that there were more Juventus fans at the Renzo Barbera when Juve are playing Palermo. Nothing controversial about that either. Juventus has a big fanbase in the south.
I like you Tim, and I'm glad we Juventus fans have someone from a rival team to banter with since the absences of Dash Kappei and Frank, but sometimes I feel like you just like throwing out a "rubentus!" every once a while just so you feel like Torino is a more relevant team than they are.
Edit: Love you, Zab.

Aside from Hernanes and Klose i'm having an hard time thinking whos incredibly talented there. They're overall a pretty good team with a very intelligent manager but that's about it, them being 2nd in the league shows how much Serie A has fallen lately.
Udinese does it every year?* Pozzo is in football only for the money, that's why he got three teams, his strategy will work only for useless team like Udinese and for a couple of years since it's already failing, you can't do that shit with Inter, Milan or Juve. Creating a young team in Italy without losing a ton of money for all these young talents is almost impossible now, you can't probably even convince them to play here. I'm sure Pozzo is thinking right now about buying another 17 years old colombian/chilean player that if they're lucky will bring them some profit in 6 years.

Not really, they couldn't get through the QFs 2 years in a row and this year they probably won't even get a EL spot.
:lol
Better than being a glory hunter.Inter from 1989 to 2006, no doubt about it. And from 2011 forward. Happy new year, adriano.
He couldn't have used a more appropriate word than "thieves" to describe Juve :lol
