Times up Erik. I’m sorry but you’ve spent half a billion on shite and can’t build a team for shit. No style, no identity, nothing. This can’t continue.

My condolences. I'm revoking the archery club invitation lol

Happy birthday, @Coma!

So, a little work update, it's a bit long but ill condense it as much as possible. In Jan this year I had a weird run-in with my manager at work about how we're building software that we peddle to customers that is bug-ridden to the point where it's almost impossible to change it to become more stable without gutting the entire system piece by piece and rebuilding it. I was given a lot of excuses about why it was the way it is and sadly I have a great bullshit meter that doesn't allow me to hear that kind of nonsense. I talked to a lot of folks at work about what it would take to make it better, presented a case for it and then once again got told it would be too hard and would yield absolutely no benefit to the customer. I then of course made the argument that I wasn't just talking about the customer but about us as a company and how being ready to migrate to newer tech was the real goal here which ultimately serves our customers better. Fast forward to April this year and I heard the most shocking thing in the world from someone else who was a higher-up and that was this verbatim "we don't care about the fact that the system is broken in certain areas". I couldn't control myself and started laughing and said that's quite the statement, didn't go down too well and in my defense, I was laughing because I thought it was the most ludicrous thing I have heard in my 25 years in this industry. In August, I decided I had had enough and told them I was resigning. According to laws here, you have to spend 60 days prior to exit to help shore up whatever you need to. Needless to say, I am officially out of tech now for the next 30 days during which I plan to surf and also do some trekking haha. It's a weird feeling because I have been doing this since I was 17 and to disassociate from it without a gameplan for the next step feels a bit weird but so far, it's only been 1 day, and I honestly haven't thought about tech at all during that period.

Seuntjens misses 2 big chances, Utrecht go down to ten men and Almere get their first win of the season I'm really starting to think I'm actually cursing teams with my posts in this thread. I might have to start tipping Man City wins.

Max = Dutch, Dutch = Cheese. It all makes sense now.

Tbh with your load shooting skills, you should reapply to the archery team...

Obviously never seen me in Speedo’s……

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @Coma

Happy Birthday, Coma!

Time to bring an anniversary to memory. Happy birthday, @Coma!

That's just a leaked video of @DeadLinesman's unsuccessful trial to join our archery team. Shouldn't you be doing some little mermaid practice or something anyway?

I'm shocked that Under 5 goals even shifts the odds . I do find in general that the "Under" markets are often better value than the "Over" ones. You can tell that the bookies set their lines and then the market shifts things in favour of more goals just because it's more fun to bet on Overs than Unders.

And that's it for round 1, I am going to go tally the scores and put up the leaderboard post now. Next round will start tomorrow, and I'll be posting the questions here.

So Max is @Coma?

My boys are being taken away next Saturday

I work in alcohol retail. Last week my store boss who works with me on Wednesdays for deliverys left early by about 30 minutes. She serves customers and puts away the stock I bring to the front of house, while I move all the boxes from pallets on the truck to the dock, then boxes from the dock to their homes (by hand). She left me with 30 mins worth of stock to put away front of house. After moving all the stock for 2 hours, then refilling the cool room stock near the end of shift (another 40+ cases by hand with assistance from a small trolley that holds 4 cases) I had my dinner as I usually do. By closing time the store was still a mess with work to be done, so I stayed back 30 minutes to work on it. I put that on my timesheet. I get a call on payday from the store owner, who is basically an owner/area manager. He says he's going to check with my store boss to make sure I was there the 30 minutes by checking the camera. Knowing I was, I say no worries and didn't stress about it... until I didn't get paid that 30 minutes. When I saw her yesterday at work she basically said "you're not in trouble, because you did stay back, but if you'd worked harder during normal shift time, you could have gotten everything done" so they didn't pay me.
