Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

ESPN Nabs Euro 2008!

Great news! ESPN/ABC have picked up the exclusive English language rights to Euro 2008 in the United States. That means no longer having to shell out $20 to the Irish mafia called Setanta down the pub. It looks as if ABC will show two games (likely the opener and the final) and ESPN, the Deuce and ESPN Classic will share the rest. Roll on 2008!

What I was referring to is a discussion that Bob and I have been having even prior to Japanorea. We've been talking about how it's difficult to balance work, family, and the number of games during the group stages of the 2 major tournaments, especially if the tournament is played in Europe and at times convenient to European audiences. The problem has always been that the tournament had been only offered on specialty channels.

But with this announcement that it's going to be on the ESPN networks and ABC, that's typically basic cable which a lot of rental properties offer.

The idea is that all of us get together and rent a house large enough for us and our families during the group stages of the tournament when there can be 2-3 games a day. Schedule our vacation/leave correctly and in advance and we wouldn't miss any of the games. And there would be the beach/lake as an attraction for the kids who aren't into watching the games. At night, fire up the grills and crack open the beers.

Anybody else game for this?

Поэтому следует быть осторожнее тем партнерам (чаще обычно женщинам), которые любят провоцировать горячность по отношению к себе, дабы "прибавить свежих впечатлений и показать всем, как крепко любит соперник". В данном случае это откровенные игры с огнем.Ревность первого типа чаще свойственна людям с выраженной эпилептоидной акцентуацией и потребностью во власти. А также с убеждением, что его партнер(ша) – практически его собственность. Следовательно в случае такой ревности у человека повышается агрессивность и враз снижается критичность к своим действиям, а понимание сужается предварительно одной идеи "осудить и наказать": именно изза то, что партнер(ша) вроде якобы "нарушил(а) правила". А для самом деле – ради то, что посмел(а) вызывать у него самого страх потерять собственное влияние.
