an own goal from Gareth Bale! Thats is the only thing I have seen from the game. What has gotten into him? His mind must have been thousands of miles away. Still. It was the same last season. I thought we'd lost it at this point last year, so who knows? We certainly didn't look like champions yeste...

12 point in 12 matches to go...you need a blue miracle.

The 'big boyz' at the sport school cannot even run a decent mile without being out of breath, so no thank you. Eating healthy and healthy exercise without being a dopey will get you the best long term results.

but they can crush your head like a grape if they wanted to. Maybe some can, but many cannot. There is a difference between looking strong (like Popeye) and being strong. Body builders (not powerlifters), increase a certain fluid in their muscles that makes the mucsles grow, but doesnot increase th...

Hello, I am looking for an one sentence definition of offside with football. So far I have: A player is in an offensive offside position when he is actively involved in the play and if he has fewer than two opposition players (including the goalkeeper) between himself (with any part of body counting...

This is true.

A-Emirati, I donot have any specific advice, just try not to burn any bridges.

Because van Zweden (from the Hague) played an important role in the recovery of Swansea, Swansea is very popular in The Hague, and had my sympathies as well. There are doing very well in the PL. Now, they lost my symapthies, for not showing solidarity with one of their team mates who is the victim o...

Rotterdam, 15 February 2013 – Meraas Development LLC has again contracted Van Oord to build an island in the emirate of Dubai. Jumana Island will lie 500 metres off the coast and will be used for urban development. A bridge will connect the island to the coast. The contract is worth approximately E...

It is weekend, or almost weekend...so I was wondering where will you be enjoying your cold Heineken today?

The Abrahamic religions (Judeo-Christianity and Islam) are nothing but a rehash of what the Greek thinkers were saying, in particular Plato and Aristotle (and Socrates), with the addition of a deity like the Son of God Jesus, or Allah. So study the originals, and you will feel more enlightened. In ...

Classical arabic is in-depth and words are rich in meaning but it is not difficult to understand. I agree, classical Arabic is very rich (and a beautiful language). I respectfully diagree though that classical Arabic is not difficult to understand. Trying to understand what is meant by the words of...

How much is lost in translation or is the Arabic often as confusing and contorted as the English? As in Hebrew, in Arabic most vowels are not written (which means the same string of letters can result in different words). Next to that, Arabic is a much richer language than English, which also has i...

I wasnot talking about steroids, but check out liquid muscle

I make a distinction between bodybuilders and weightlifters. Professional body builders are not half as strong as they look.
Steroids can increase your muscle power, but doesnot strenghten your joints

Can you open your mouth, put your tongue out and breath through your nose?

FlyingDutchman

Yes, I can do it (everybody can I think), but it makes you look like a dog.

Not me. That sounds really flexible and athletic.

This is completely unacceptable and he should be put in a penitentiary institution for this.

FlyingDutchman , You should give DF an update on your marathon training FD! All goes well BM. Every weekend I do a run of 20-30km. During the week I do two interval trainings for about an hour or an hour and a half, thats sprinting for a few minutes and than running slow for a little bit, this is r...

Ahlan wasahlan I love the Arabic writing and especially the calligraphy. Unfortunately calligraphy is mostly done with Islamic religious texts, and I donot need those at home at the wall. Arabic isnot especially nice to my ear I think. In the beginning I started to say some basic things in Arabic. I...

FlyingDutchman

Thanks BM. The marathon is in April. I heard as a tradition every finisher has a "De Koninck" beer waiting at the finish line. That is something to look forward to! My end goal is the marathon of Amsterdam in October, so after April I will take it easy and then start training again for Ams...

Everybody really interested in the start and origins of Judaism and/or Christianity should read "Jerusalem, a biography" from Montefiori.

If there are injuries, just log onto DF for your one to one with DFs self proclaimed personal physician! Of sorts. Thanks, but I rather consult with a pro sport-fysiotherapist instead of a dopey dope. Besides I donot consider bodybuilding a sport, at least chess playing requires some skills. :-) --...

I hope you enjoy the book.

Although the working ethos of the local Emirati left much to be desired, I was always treated with the upmost respect. I always liked it very much in Dubai. It will always be a special place on our marble for me. The international environment, the opportunities, never a dull moment, interesting peop...

I can relate to what you say FD, Dubai is a special place for me too. Maybe one day we can have a Heineken in some dodgy bar some time! Oh, how I am longing for nice cold one. Place the glass with a 112 degrees angle on my mouth, and slowly let the yellow liquid slide on my tongue into my throat an...

And you should probably take some time off, probably with a girl cousin or some relative that you get along well. I like that advice. Donot forget to live a little AE. You are young and you should do things that later on you donot have the opportunity for and regret later you never did them. Discov...
