I owe you ten CREDITS. [07:14] yup. french and german stock surveillance agencies are investigating [07:14] cut [07:14] cut [07:14] cut [07:14] keep [07:14] BTW: Yay Holland !

[07:15] keep [07:15] cut [07:15] keep [07:15] I have one soccer question - does any World Cup team have a coach from their own country? [07:15] We win, so "YAY". [07:15] the first one wasn't better, agreed. and that against a much weaker opponent (seen argentina slaughtering them without much effort?) [07:15] cut [07:16] keep [07:16] john: yes, in a way ;) [07:16] * EofS has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer) [07:16] belgian team usually does [07:16] belgian team didnt make the cut this year though [07:16] * EofS has joined #sevtrek [07:16] Doesn't matter if argentina slaughter us, we're through. [07:16] never had so many lousy players :-) [07:16] The irony doesn't elude me ;0) [07:17] 3KEEP [07:17] 12Do we still have that 'Sorting HAT'? [07:17] cut [07:17] keep [07:17] cut [07:17] cut [07:17] cut [07:17] I've not seen a single match today, although I know the first two scores. I gather the Dutch was boring? Was Argentina boring too? (With a score like that it could have been) [07:17] Oh, and hi all ;0) [07:18] 4CUT [07:18] the dutch wasn't boring. ivory coast heldagainst them, was just unable to finish [07:18] 12Great! He took the LAST blue one! [07:18] Oh [07:18] I would have liked to have seen t [07:18] cut [07:18] cut [07:18] But I was in a car driving through London [07:18] cut [07:18] Agreed, the match in the first half was less boring. Ivory Coast is much stronger then peeps realize. [07:18] cut [07:19] Cut [07:19] keep [07:19] keep [07:19] in any other group, ivory coast would make it through to the playoffs [07:19] 4CUT [07:19] (maybe not the one with italy and the czechs) [07:19] sure they are, we trained half their team in a belgian team :-) [07:19] At the time I wasn't happy about England's group losing Iveroy Coast. Now I'm very happy [07:19] 12I think it's time we started making them all ONE color. [07:19] cut [07:19] Cut [07:19] cut [07:19] cut [07:20] cut [07:20] cut [07:20] cut [07:20] 4CUT [07:20] Did I remember to say hi to everyone? ;0) [07:20] Yeah, that was a hard win for England against Trinidad & Tobago.

[07:20] [06/06/16 ; 23:17:57] Oh, and hi all ;0) [07:20] yup [07:21] It was a bloody nervewracking one [07:21] cut [07:21] cut [07:21] Neutral [07:21] keep [07:21] keep [07:21] keep [07:21] btw... crouch pulled his opponent's hair when making his 1-0 header [07:21] It was particularly bad because people kept standing in front of the bloody screens :0P [07:21] 3KEEP [07:21] 12Hmm,I thought he was more of a "RED" guy. [07:21] keep [07:21] At one point we considered going back to teh office and watching there [07:21] Cut [07:21] neutral [07:21] keep [07:21] keep [07:21] cut [07:21] Guido - I know. But the guy should have complained at the time, or shut up now [07:22] cu [07:22] t [07:22] Meh. I just wish for this silly championship to end. [07:23] after the sweden game, the tv station here mentioned it for the first time (having just been informed by the austrians). so noone found out during the game [07:23] Hush you [07:23] 7KFN [07:23] 12Actually, it was never that SOLEMN. [07:23] cut [07:23] keep [07:23] Guido - the guy with his hair being pulled knew... [07:23] cut [07:23] keep [07:23] cut [07:23] change2 CUT [07:23] wrong line [07:23] (One of the pundits here pointed out that that is a risk if a player wishes to wear his hair like that...) [07:23] :-) [07:23] Cut [07:23] cut [07:24] 4CUT [07:24] 12I THOUGHT we were discontinuing the blue one. [07:24] keep [07:24] yes.but i agree with you why he didn't start a stink (or was he already booked so he feared to be sent of? although... because it was so alte in the game even that wouldn't matter) [07:24] cut [07:24] cut [07:24] keep [07:24] btw... shouldn't jedis make their own lightsabers as part of their training? ;) [07:25] cut [07:25] wiz: naaahhh [07:25] His attitude was that without that goal we wouldn't have won, so we shouldn't have won [07:25] standards are slipping i guess :-) [07:25] was he the scottish one? ;) [07:25] To which I again say - he should have complained at the time [07:25] They can, but they don't have to, I think. [07:25] Guido - I mean the T&T's player [07:25] 4CUT [07:25] 12You can TRAIN this one... [07:26] cut [07:26] cut [07:26] cut [07:26] cut [07:26] cut [07:26] I read a quote from him that "the ref would never have disallowed a goal against England" - he evidently hasn't read "ways England has recently gone out of tournaments" :0P [07:26] Keep [07:26] * ThunderDragon sets mode: +o EofS [07:26] keep [07:27] 4CUT [07:27] 2 years ago? correct decision!

[07:27] keep [07:27] cut [07:27] keep [07:27] cut [07:27] cut [07:27] keep [07:27] Guido - my point was that in both 2004 and 1998, we had goals disallowed that would have won us the match. Which we both times went on to lose [07:27] Cut [07:28] (And incorrect decision :0P ) [07:28] 4CUT [07:28] 10FINAL MODE! [07:28] Refs are a neccesary evil in football. [07:28] 12Shortlist: [07:28] I miss the old ritual of DRAWING them from a hat! [07:28] How come no one else picks PURPLE? [07:28] Hmm,I thought he was more of a "RED" guy. [07:28] vote4 red [07:28] don't remember about 98 (only owen's solo, beckham's kick and the game ending the tournament in a traditional way (for england)) [07:29] vote4 red [07:29] vote4 purple [07:29] vote4 purple [07:29] vote4 purple [07:29] vote4 purple [07:29] in doubt; just a sec [07:34] looks like purple wins [07:34] * Disconnected Session Close: Sat Jun 17 07:34:57 2006 Session Start: Sat Jun 17 07:35:45 2006 Session Ident: #sevtrek [07:35] * Now talking in #sevtrek [07:35] * Topic is 'Not really... *runs off to the store to get food*' [07:35] * Set by ThunderDragon on Fri Jun 16 01:26:51 [07:35] Yay !

[07:46] cut [07:46] cut [07:46] keep [07:46] Keep [07:46] You do know that getting a Darwin Award involves trying to kill yourself (or have your destroyed your reproductive bits) in the most stupid yet original way [07:46] Not because it leads to a good storyline [07:46] cut [07:46] cut [07:46] Just because "all we need is to find a radioactive spider" is an inherently funny line [07:46] 4CUT [07:46] all correct, except the "trying" [07:46] it works in every context :D [07:47] 12Ingest a radioactive SUBSTANCE and become a superhero!

[07:51] 14COUNT - 2 | DARWIN - 5 [07:51] 3DARWIN WINS! [07:52] 12COMP 3 - Clash of the Chosen Ones [07:52] 12We need to find out who's doing all this "CHOOSING". [07:52] cut [07:52] Hmmm. Anyways, doing the Pits like this is a healthy (not for Lance) way to get a more interresting and funnier storyline. [07:52] cut [07:52] cut [07:53] it is a good idea - the story kind of evolved that way but complaints about the strip being all about Burger Girl may have also influenced me [07:54] BTW Shouldn't dumbledore be added in this comic? [07:54] Cut [07:54] cut [07:54] cut [07:54] 4CUT [07:54] 12*This" is why I stopped coming to these "Chosen One" CONVENTIONS!

[07:55] 4CUT [07:55] Yeah, the Aussi's aren't doing bad yet. [07:55] 12A 'Chosen One' CRECHE! Why didn't I think of that? [07:56] cut [07:56] I watched some REAL football this week - State of Origin rugby league, the greatest form of football in the world [07:56] cut [07:56] keep [07:56] and my team Queensland won so I'm very happy [07:56] cut [07:56] cut [07:56] keep [07:56] John - watching your match against Japan, I think some players forgot which football they were playing :0P [07:56] Nice story about the history of football I recently saw on National Geographic. [07:57] 4CUT [07:57] 12Hey! It's a prophecy, not a DEMOCRACY! [07:57] cut [07:57] Ganbare Nihon! [07:57] I think if Australia beat Brazil I might be so delighted I would be nice until the end of June! [07:57] keep [07:57] cut [07:58] EofS: I got that in writing now! [07:58] if Australia beat Brazil, I'd be ecstatic [07:58] Football and rugby rules were decided when some group decided what the rules of football would be. One person disagreed, and started his own version. This is now called rugby. [07:58] William Webb-Ellis [07:58] keep [07:58] cut [07:59] DS - is that really what the documentary said though? [07:59] 4CUT [07:59] If not that much words, but yes. [07:59] 12Alright, whoever DIES the most times is the chosen one. [07:59] I mean, I figured that the version I know is probably a bit apocryphal (that Webb-Ellis just picked up the ball one day...) [07:59] *in* [07:59] cut [07:59]
