What a story!!! A team made up of rejects from other teams, their top scorer was playing in non-league just 4 seasons ago. The only downside is that next season Gary Lineker will present the first MOTD in his pants.

A team so unknown that nobody can spell its name, in fact! 
Totteringham demonstrated what good losers they are by kicking bits out of Chelsea players for the last ten minutes tonight. How they still had eleven men on the pitch and only 4 yellow cards at the final whistle I cannot fathom! Just need them to do a proper Spurs and finish behind Arsenal again now!

Isn't it spelled -> ˈɫɛstɘ(ʳ)?
Rules for the FOSW ![ ^]
if(this.signature != "")

MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{

English spelling and pronunciation are beyond any kind of logic.

Indeed. They're a proof that money isn't everything. Especially for European leagues.
Kudos!
So, will ManU change van Gaal?

Possibly, but he'll have to want to change!

What Orwell failed to predict is that we would buy the cameras ourselves...then worry that no-one was watching.

While at the same time using the camera to post pictures (clothed or not) of ourselves on all sorts of media. But oh no, we throw our arms up in anger when someone tells us the gov't is watching! Hah, as if they actually cared.
Of course, the series Person of Interest paints a very interesting use case.

Curious you talk about it, I found some very interesting insights in this series : it is overall a typical US series on many aspects, especially the exaggeration, but they sometimes had really good points. I am rerererereading the robots from Asimov, and I find similarities in some of the questioning - for instance about how much human beings an AI could reasonably sacrifice for the well being of the rest of the existing or future population.

It's the first show that I've seen that actually references some real mathematical concepts. It was a new experience to hear something mentioned in the show, and I would wonder, what the heck is that algorithm they just mentioned, google it, and lo-and-behold, it's a real thing. I learned stuff!

What I enjoyed about Asimov is that he didn't focus on the tech, but the social implications and challenges of the tech. It made for much more interesting reading!

Do you not watch The Simpsons then? And I take it you missed Numb3rs?

KGB and stasi would go into houses and place "bugs"
American ingenuity was using "bait" with such service as Facebook and cellular, so people would wilfully accept the spying device and carry it 24/7

U.S. spy agencies do that too.

That is a genius phrasing and summary of the current situation. Fantastic and quite funny.
Brevity too.

The never-ending selfie craze, courtesy of the internet, makes it painfully obvious how prevalent narcissim in developed society is.
It's as if millions cried out at once, hey look at me, and were suddenly silenced when they realized that nobody cared.

Actually that has been positive. With our own cameras we can watch the police (gestapo) and provide evidence that the police are acting outside accepted parameters, and thus protect the people. It has made such a difference. In the past the police would get away with their bad behavior.

We can film the regular police yes, but can we film the secret police?

At least "The People" are making progress against the "Evil Empire"

Yes, but surreptitiously.

It's been even more productive with police wearing cameras or in vehicles providing proof that protects the officer. Although in some sad cases the identity of the murderer of the officer.

The weather associated with 1984 appeared like an elephant, or multiple elephants, the symbol of a demon commander, such as ... Both an elephant on land and a whale in water are giants and symbols of ... Cold fronts notwithstanding
