So wins for England and Northern Ireland :) England deserved it on the balance of play really, I thought Wales looked timid, which is a bit of a shame as they can certainly outplay England. In the end it was about time that England gave up on the "control midfield and you'll win" idea. They needed a...

I'm so pleased for Iceland! What a result, and well deserved. An Icelandic guy called Dagur really helped and encouraged me in my early reason adventures. Great support as well. Loved one of their chants - "Oooo!". I thought it was just magnificent last night - Bjarnason's goal has to be the best m...

So Italy dazzled against Belgium, with the kind of play you expect from them - not my cup of tea, but it's effective. It's simple. Conte is genious. Wilmots is a low class beginner. He shouldn't be leading Belgium's best generation in years. What a waste. I was totally bummed last night because it ...

So Italy dazzled against Belgium, with the kind of play you expect from them - not my cup of tea, but it's effective. Sweden and Ireland produced a pretty good game, and Spain looked great against a Czech side that was a fair bit below their usual standards. I should have checked this beforehand but...

SO, some great games on day 3, no surprises results wise although I thought Ukraine played really well and maybe losing 2-0 was a bit harsh, but that's just Germany for you, when it matters they fucking deliver! NI concentrated on closing down Lewandowski, but forgot about the other 10 guys - tbh th...

How far will your home team go (if applicable)? Now I hope they'll go through to playoffs. P.S. The first match ended 1:1. There are chances. Indeed. I thought Russia's defence was brilliant last night, but they were poor up front. England were the exact opposite. Now both teams need to beat Slovak...

Now I know it's not about the way an RE looks- more so how it sounds that's most important. Actually interface can be just as important as tonality. As long as the sound is above "standard x", then everything else is about inspiration and ease of use :) It's reckoned that as much as 70% of all codi...

So the first game wasn't too bad at all. I thought France didn't really click to start off with and Romania genuinely looked like they could beat them... masses of skill from the French but a bit of a lack of a game plan. In the end they won, and looked good overall, but I really can't help thinking...

....of course, the politically sensitive term is "swollen".

Well, someone had to start it. Who do you fancy to win it? For me it's Germany or Spain. I would back the hosts France but the lack of Karim Benzema is a stunning kick to the nuts for them. Who will be the star player? I've always been impressed with Kevin De Bruyne and Paul Pogba, although I can't ...

Here's a thought, can we use Reason 9? It will be available to the general public come June 21.

.....and while we're there

Nope, that's pretty simple. The only thing with doing custom work for phpBB is maintainability across updates to the software. I could write a plugin for the forum, but the question is if it's really necessary :P Are you a developer yourself? Because I might have a few seats available for a project...

In future, I hope that topic definition is something that AI can provide us with: to automatically create a topic fingerprint for each and every post - not thread. Someone starts a thread, it ignites OnT and OT replies. A user who watch the thread, can activate the AI plugin to filter out anything ...

I disagree ..... skip a bit... ... life. I have many friends who are in poly-amorous relationships, and who have well balanced high achieving children with no emotional issues. These same friends follow different life paths and values systems than what would be considered "normal". This is proof th...

Riddle me this, if the bible is true and there is to be "Armageddon" ... what is the dumbass waiting for? People to kill each other off first? Trump? Also, adultery isn't a "tiny sin"... it ruins lives, it ruins the lives of the children involved. People commit suicide and murder because of adulter...

It's crazy how much we've been fooled! Or is it? When you consider what all of these old texts really say, it's basically a shining admission that we don't know what is going on, so we'll come up with some sort of fairy story in order to make ourselves feel less empty. Science comes along and says ...

Riddle me this, if the bible is true and there is to be "Armageddon" ... what is the dumbass waiting for? People to kill each other off first? Trump? An amusing side note regarding the religious fraud, is that the various texts tended to be written after big events then the keepers of the faith wou...

The JRE has had this for years (in the UK at least), even the updater continually tries the same crap. Never noticed it on the JDK to be fair.

It is the same as with science. Many people simply "believe" what they read when it says "scientists found *something spectacular*" and don't question it "because science". Scientific experiments prove that certain things happen a certain way in very specific conditions (lab conditions), and not al...

the earth is flat because the bible told us so. .....and Bible believing protestant Christians kickstarted modern science in Northern Europe. Don't try slagging off the bible when it's spawned so many Jewish & Christian scientists. Ah, 'tis rare that we see such a splendid and pure an example of co...

I often wondered how well an acoustic guitar,or any open bodied instrument-- performs,after a "good clean out"-- does it change the sounding character much in your opinions? I don't think that on an acoustic guitar it makes a whole lot of difference to tonality although if the thing is absolutely c...

I once had a chap explain to me that some god buried the dinosaur fossils in the earth just to test the faith of his followers.
