Life is decent. Finish work in 5 minutes so gonna go to the gym and then catch the train home. Weather has been glorious sunshine for about a month and I'm sunburnt from spending Sunday in a hedge maze with my kids. Was my bday on Friday and I have money from that to spend but I have no idea what to buy. Found out yesterday may need another surgery on her kidney but the doctors are going to conduct tests over the next 2 months to monitor it as it's a difficult surgery. Wife just got her hair coloured and I don't like it but I don't want to tell her. Sad the world cup has ended but it made me want to start playing again. Just tried to buy fifa but the store will only deliver to my billing address which isn't where I live. Going to an aquarium in London this weekend for my son's birthday then hosting a barbecue on Sunday. Real mix bag at.

England are usually a team of unlikable players who underachieve. This time they were a team of limited yet fairly likable players who overachieved. People keep talking about the easy draw but it seems obvious there is a lack of top level international teams with quality throughout right now. There is France, Brazil, Germany, Spain and Belgium and that's pretty much it. Obviously Germany and Spain got it tactically completely wrong and that left it open to the rest of the teams, including Croatia and England. That said, having Poland and Russia as top seeds didnt help the draw either.

my dna didn't change dude


You're telling me your family came here and refused to procreate with anyone that isn't 100% Scottish?

no. I am also welsh and German. and possibly a little Czech and French maybe. but I always identified with the scottish


You know what intrigues me? (This is a secondary topic).

I find it odd how white Americans (I am one of those too, BTW) can claim to be any specific ethnicity they identify with and can trace some % of DNA to (e.g. Jim O'Connor can say he is Irish because his grand grand grand father was Irish and/or 23andMe told him he is 20% Irish) while other people can't. For example, a Colombian who's 50% Spaniard as per 23andMe, or who has a Spanish grand-grandfather could not get away with saying "I am Spanish".


I and I imagine most Europeans find Americans really weird in this respect. It seems having an uncle who once went to a drop kick murphies concert is enough to make you Irish in America whereas my own mother is Irish and I don't consider myself to be likewise. It feels like Americans love to label their identity. I once met an American kid who told me he was half Jewish half catholic and half venetian.

Rightly or wrongly, if you have European blood and you go to said country claiming as such, don't expect to be treated like some long lost brother

Seriously, just post a topic in here about wanting kids or sitting down to eat dinner with your family and see the snide narcissistic replies you get.
