Van Persie's style of playing wouldn't be suited for Italy. There's not a single team on the face of the earth that is better for Van Persie than Arsenal anyway.

when Van Persie scored the goal against Utd to get it to 1-1 he fractured his foot! he is out for 6 weeks

I know, but how does that change anything about what I said?

nothing, i was just stating what happened in case someone didnt know. I agreed with what you said.

++

What is that?

 

[Martin]

What is that?

I suppose Andy would want to explain this ( ), but it's a geeky way of saying "I agree".

++ is a unary operator in many programming languages, which means "increment by one", so

x = 1
x++
(x is now 2)

 

[JCK]

I know the ++ when coding, but it never occured to me it will be used in this syntax (mind the pun)

Yeah, I picked it up on gentoo forums, it made sense to me

True

so its more out of choice than cause they are not good enough.
Most of the dutch players that came to Italy shined: Van Basten, Guillit, Rijkaard, Seedorf Davids, cant think of more! lol. The common factor is that whoever player with Inter played shit: Seedorf, Bergkamp, Davids.

Oh that's definitely true: it's all out of choice. When it comes down to, Holland and Italy don't like each other much. There was appreciation and respect for the Italian national team past summer that was pretty much nation-wide but every time some channel tries to pawn off Serie A matches on the nation it bombs faster than you can say 'catenaccio'

I actually lived in Holland for about 1 year when i was a few months old, still have some memories, nice times, want to come back for a holiday though some time

I would imagine you'd be shocked Where'd you live?

I used to live in Leiden, but it was from when i was 6 months old till like 1 or something like that, and my cousin is doing a course in Leiden to become a lawyer, so it might be an excuse to come up

Why do you think Norway should join the EU, Martin? What will we gain, except the Euro and less control of our own economy, that we're not getting from the EØS deal?

Oh and a weak dollar is bad for the US economy where the bigger picture is concerned for the simple reason the US are not a major exporting nation, but rather an importing one. Two words:

Budget Deficit.

A weak dollar reduces the budget deficit. American goods are, in a global perspective, cheaper and more competitive on the global market. Also imported goods become more expensive, so consumers will purchase less of them and/or buy more American goods.

 

[Slagathor]

Yes fantastic theory but it requires a nation to be a pretty massive exporting body to make up for it: the US has failed to do that so far.

Don't you think it's a little ridiculous that soon it's gonna be us and Switzerland pretending that the EU doesn't matter? I'm for European integration, and of course you have to give up stuff to be a part of it, but so what? Has Denmark come off badly for it? By now literally all of Europe has embraced it, yet we're too lame to join. It's pathetic imo.

you're joking right?

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

We fail to export?

 

[Slagathor]

No and no you don't

Sorry for the interruption mates. What is the poinis thread now? As I've just read the opening post of the thread and you all have discussed a lot about the main topic.

 

[Zé Tahir]

This is the Seinfeld thread, it's about nothing and everything.

 

[V. Corleone]

So it is a spamming thread. You spammy spammy spammers. &

 

[Slagathor]

That's right. Are you interested in viagra? Alternatively, I got pumps on sale in February, in case you're short on cash.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

I want some of that, E.
