Administrator Stan Posted September 4, 2018 Administrator Share Posted September 4, 2018 I learnt today that possession stats in football are not to do with amount of time spent on the ball, but instead percentage of completed passes in the game. And apparently it's been like that for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Batard Posted September 4, 2018 Administrator Share Posted September 4, 2018 I learned recently that when you’re stressed cortisol is released and your body shuts down all non essential systems. The need to be alert to danger to escape. However long term this has serious health implications. Because one of the systems deemed non essential by your body is your immune system. It gives the saying “my job is killing me” a somewhat apt context Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeem Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 There are more than twice pyramids in Sudan than Egypt. Philippines changes the position of the red and blue stripes in their flag during war and peace times. Dominican Republic is the only country that has the purple colour in its flag.

Bluewolf Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 1 hour ago, Toinho said: Well, I haven’t seen them but have heard about them so I suppose yes they are Haha Been checking up on it... some of the stories are from people that have lived in Japan for some time ( 15 years ) some not so long ( 2 years ) and they claim that apologies are either dished out on the tannoy system or passengers are offered an apology as they are leaving each station by the attendants on the gates?? That would mean in theory each passenger could have an apology but as you say when you are dealing with hundreds of passengers going through a mainline station this would probably not be practical or even possible.. could you imagine that happening at Waterloo or Kings Cross for example but then London Transport don't give a toss about passengers over here or even how late the trains are but over there they take lateness far more seriously hence the lateness slips which all the comments I read indicate are in fact true... Some thought that a personal apology was more likely on trains that ran further out from the main stations as passengers were a lot less which would make more sense..

Nice idea though. @Bluewolf and fake news That would be incredible though if train staff individually apologised though. Maybe on trains where passengers aren't packed in like sardines it could be conceivable to happen I guess. The lateness slips are generous - I imagine over here if you gave that to your wanker of a boss they'd just tear it up in your face and say they don't care and you should have got an earlier train or some unreasonable shite like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeem Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 The city of Chittagong ( in present day Bangladesh ) when came under Mughal rule was totally revamped and renamed as ' Islamabad ' in 1702, this is where the inspiration for the present capital of Pakistan came from.
