Aren't there some precautions to preempt the 'virulent' aspect of that bit? I assume the British gentry would find it inappropriate to use his majesty's brand jimmy hats?

Good grief, if Nicklas Bendtner is even half as good as he thinks he is then Denmark should be world champions soon 

Good at what? Being a twat?

According to a recent report I read, after a session with a sports psychologist (why is that even a real job?) the result was that NB had the most self-belief that the doc had ever come across

Like I said, a twat.

If he was good it would be okay, but he's not so it isn't.

Warspite1

I have just read the posts re Nicklas Bendtner and I think most of you are getting there although are still failing to grasp the fundamental point. Allow me to explain:

- Bendtner has a hugely inflated opinion of himself; true
- He's actually not very good; true

Ergo and thertofore - yes, he may be considered a t**t. However, he is not alone in exhibiting the above characteristics; think Emanuel Adebayor, Francis Jeffers etc

However the defining feature that ensures his t**tiness, is simply this: The man is a Gooner. Nuff said .

Gooner usually means upstandng individual w/ high moral character and exceptional talent.

Well, it give me a fair advice on what i am worth: nothing .
Worth nothing at work, worth nothing at game, worth nothing at sport, worth nothing in friendship (lost a friend for a stupid story),
and probably worth nothing at husband

We'll have none of that, my friend. Theres not a person in here who thinks that youre anything less than a devoted husband and a great friend.

Oh yes there is a person that think that i am worthless : me
Can't get out of this idea

As for the other stuff, dont let it get you down. There are quite a few of us who can tell you what a mess the job market is right now. Employers are super-picky and cheap. I know people who were not hired because (the employers told them outright) that they decided to go with a candidate who was less qualified but was willing to accept a lesser salary offer.

Well, yes, i know that job market is hard....but 3 of the interview were in my own administration. Often, task are offered to people having less time than me, but some are.....sexiest

Hang in there.

C'mon, dude-you're being a bit hard on yourself, don't you think? You're absolutely not worthless. Full stop. You've people that rely on you in life, more than you know. By definition, that makes you valuable.

If some erstwhile employer doesn't recognize your own value as a person, who cares? Because some faceless corporation doesn't elect to add you to their payroll does not mean that you are without worth or value as a person.

Interesting - could be close. The stat I recall reading is that ours was the biggest in land area.

I suspect that if you put Oz and the Kiwis and then Canada together, then lump in what was a very large part of Africa, I suspect ours comes out top, but having said that, I do not know the exact boundaries of the Mongol empire so I may be wrong.....

http://www.worldsbiggests.com/2010/06/top-10-largest-empires-in-world-history.html

Interesting. 250,000 sq miles....you beat them with the Victoria Desert.

I totally call foul on that website. They calculated the UK empire on a cumulative basis, including Eastern US, Canada and the aforementioned Australia and New Zealand in the 1922 figures. They even padded their numbers with a portion of Antarctica!

Canada became largely independent in 1867, Australia and New Zealand were all but independent by 1922 as well. Hardly seems appropriate to include their totals in this 1922 number as these were part of the "Empire" at that point on paper only.

ETA: Don't even get me started on why the Eastern US shouldn't have been in that calculation...

Jealous. Just because you can't have an empire of your own.

So sad

Hey, we're listed on there too! Guam, Philippines, etc. got us a listing in the early 1900s.

Wise words from history ... (?)

"An officer should be comely and above all else confident in his own dress and bearing. He should, where possible, eat a small piece of meat each morning with molasses and beans. He should air himself gracefully when under fire and never place himself in a position of difficulty when being shot at. He should eat his meals comfortably and ahead of his soldiers, for it is he whom is more important tactically on the battlefield and therefore he who should be well nourished. His hair should be well groomed and if possible he should adorn a moustache or similar facial adornment. When speaking to his soldiers he should appear unnerved and aloof and give direction without in any way involving himself personally in the execution of arduous or unofficer like duties. He should smoke thin panatellas except when in the company of ladies where he should take only a small gin mixed with lemon tea. He should be an ardent and erudite gentleman and woo the ladies both in the formal environment and in the bedroom where he should excel himself beyond the ordinary soldier with his virulent love making prowess.
