Laughing at the indian cricket team
Indian cricket is headed for a disastrous World Cup and only those who wish to bury their head in the sand can think that they will do well there. The pitches in West Indies are fast and the players (who anyway have a tough time on such pitches) will succumb easily. They will advance (I truly hope so) to the next round by beating the weak teams but they will lose once again to the strong ones and they will find ourselves out and forgotten very soon. So instead of feeling sad, the only thing left for the fans to do is to joke about them. So here goes!
The story goes that there was a couple married for quite some time and they had a boy of 5-6 years old. Their relationship was turning sour. So finally it reached such a stage that they thought it was better for them to be divorced than to carry on such a relationship.
So they consulted a lawyer. But the big question was who would have the kid. In the hearing in the court it was decided that this choice should be left to their son. So the judge asked "Son, would you like to stay with your mummy?"
The kid replied," No, mummy beats me."
So the judge asked "Then, would you like to stay with your papa?"
The kid replied, "No, papa beats me too."
Now the judge was in a dilemma and was not able to decide what to do. After pondering for some time he smiled with the ideas he had in his mind about the child.
And he gave the judgment that the kid would stay with
Any guesses?
Come on I know you can guess this.
Ok here is the decision: The judge decided that the kid would stay with the Indian Cricket Team because they never beat anybody.
And here are some one liners to pipe up your day:
Why do Indian babies cry and complain all the time?
They are practicing how to become Indian cricketers when they grow up.
What is an handcuffed Indian Cricketer called?
A cricketer you can trust.
What are the four words that will destroy any Indian batsman?
Did you bat today?
Why doesnt the crowd blink when Tendulkar goes out to bat?
There just is no time until he gets out again.
What is the difference between an Indian batsman and an Australian one?
100 runs.
What is the difference between batteries and Indian cricketers?
Batteries have a positive side.
How do you force Indian cricketers to run between wickets?
You place food on either end.
Yes, I know that some of these jokes are really putting the Indian team down but considering their recent form (excluding the recent two victories against West Indies which I think is more of a fluke than anything else), I felt that I could say such things.
I cannot understand how such players such as Ganguly, Tendulkar, Dravid and the rest can let the fans down time and again. Sometimes it seems that they are not really interested in playing and that they gamble away their wicket easily. If that is the case then they should leave and let other more able and willing youngsters take a shot. They will not fare much worse in any case. What will they do? Lose. They lose anyway and to any cricket playing nation in the world!

Casino et football fsont ils bon m╨тnage
En effet, Casino 888.com sponsorisait le FC Toulouse et PartyGaming le FNCA de Nantes! Oui mais voila, c'йtait sans compter sur la Ligue Professionnelle de Football.
Dimanche dernier, sur les maillots du FC Toulouse, on retrouvait bien les couleurs du casino mais les signes ???.com. Qu'est ce donc ???.com me direz-vous. Il s'agit tout simplement de son sponsor Casino 888.com.
Pourquoi?
Alors que les joueurs ont pour obligation de porter les couleurs et le nom du casino, la Ligue professionnelle a, quant а elle, dйcidйe d'exclure les casinos de la publicitй et du sponsoring. D'oщ l'omission. Or, tout le monde l'aura compris le sigle ??? faisait bien rйfйrence au casino sponsor de l'йquipe.
La Ligue explique son refus. Du fait de l'arrestation de certains gйants de casinos en ligne depuis le mois de septembre, dont le derneir en date de Bwin arretй en France, la ligue se voit le droit d'interdire la publicitй, le sponsoring pour les paris en ligne.
Samedi, une autre йquipe, la FC Monaco a rencontrй le mкme problиme que le FC Toulouse lors de son match face au Mans. Un reprйsentant de l'йquipe explique que, sans cette alternative, le coup d'envoi du match n'aurait pu кtre donnй.
On se souvient encore des paroles de Jean-Luc Gripond, vice-prйsident du club nantais, "le FCNA a dйcidй de s'associer а un nouveau sponsor disposant: "premiиrement une dimension internationale, et notre football a besoin de partenaires de cette dimension, deuxiиmement un lien avec les nouvelles technologies, ce qui reprйsente pour nous le futur".
Qu'en est il aujourd'hui?
Un enquкte a йtй menйe ( voir notre article Bonnes Nouvelles pour les Casinos en Ligne).
Les paris sont monopole d'йtat en France et on pourrait penser que l'arrestation des cadres de BWin s'est opйrйe au bйnйfice de la Franзaise des jeux. Aussi, peu de temps aprиs, la Commission europйenne a dйcidй de s'intйresser de plus prиs а la question du monopole d'Йtat pour les paris et les jeux. La volontй de la commission est clairement affichйe, soit les Йtats membres les considиrent nйfastes pour leurs ressortissants et interdisent totalement les jeux en ligne, soit ils les autorisent et permettent aux sociйtйs comme 888.com d'offrir leurs services sur le marchй.

To buy or not to buy online
More and more people are saving time and energy by shopping online these days. However, there are a few things you should know before making that online purchase.
Always be sure to check an online store’s terms and conditions, privacy policy, complaints procedures, and whether or not it has a secure checkout. If you have problems, being able to contact the retailer is crucial,. Always note the phone number and physical address of an online store before buying.
There are also 12 questions you need to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to make an online purchase.
1. Who are you dealing with?
Information about the site owner should be clearly identified somewhere on the site. They should list either email address or phone number, or both, and a full mailing address. These are very important should you decide you need to file a complaint or check on your order.
2. How much is it going to cost you?
The price should be clearly displayed and include all costs. Be sure to remember to look for information about delivery charges, taxes and currency differences.
3. What are you buying?
You should be able to easily identify the product. This is especially important online because you often can't see the goods you buy. Be sure you understand exactly what you are buying. You may also want to do some research before you buy. It is always good to read online product reviews like those found at consumer-research-guide. com which lists reviews of many of the products or services commonly purchased online.
4. Is there stock available?
Stock availability should be clearly displayed. If they tell you an item is on back order, be sure they give you an approximate date for order completion. If not, you would probably be better served to cancel your order and try another merchant.
5. What delivery methods are available?
Determine what deliver options you desire are available and how much it will cost. Also ensure that the merchant delivers to your country. This is especially important since the Internet is truly and international community.
6. How do you know when you’ve confirmed your order?
There should be a clearly defined ordering process for you to follow. You should also receive a receipt for your order either online or by email.
7. How can you pay for your purchase?
Payment options available should be clearly displayed. Most online stores will accept credit card, but some do not. Some stores accept non-internet payment, debit card or third party payment providers (PayPal, Western Union, etc.).
8. What personal information are they asking for and what will they do with it?
Only information needed for purchase should be requested. If you're asked for personal information, there should be an explanation of how the information will be used, and who it will be given to. Be sure to check to see if the store has an online Privacy Policy and read it!
9. How long will it take to get your order?
Make sure the store gives a stated target time for delivery, and that you'll receive an email to tell you when it's been sent.
10. How much do you owe?
The amount you paid should be stated when you order, with allowances for any currency conversion.
11. What if you don't like the product, or it's faulty?
The returns procedure should be stated on the web site and easy to follow with who to contact if the returns procedure fails. Any extra costs should be specified in the returns policy, so check before you finalize your purchase.
12. Can you get a refund?
Most of the time there should be no problems obtaining a refund, just like regular shopping, provided you have the physical address of the trader. It's a lot harder to chase up a virtual shop. There are also some legal questions which may make getting a refund more complicated if you shop overseas.
Remember shopping online can be both fun and convenient, but it pays to be cautious.

Citas a ciegas
Para todo aquel que busque encontrar su alma gemela, media naranja, amor, enamorarse, un compaсero de emociones o como quieras llamarlo es algo difнcil de encontrar. Para algunos desde ya no es algo complicado, les ha pasado a los 15 aсos, 18, 22, en fin ya comparten el dнa y la mayor parte de sus vidas con alguien desde hace mucho. A otros, sin embargo les es mбs complicado y duro de encontrar.
La experiencia de las citas a ciegas es algo inolvidable, bueno o malo puede ser interesante. Como dicen, la experiencia es cuando no encuentras lo que buscas. Sin embargo hay casos en que esta experiencia se vuelve en lo que uno busca.
Si eres de aquellos que creen en que un amigo, familia o alguien que te conoce puede llegar a tener a alguien con el cual encuentres lo que buscas, la pregunta es їPor quй no probar?
En mi caso personal, experimente varias citas a ciegas y amigas mнas tambiйn lo hicieron. Algunas fueron sorprendentes, en el sentido de buenas y otras de malas. Es como un juego de ruleta una pequeсa probabilidad en muchas de que salgas feliz o que algo interesante salga de ello.
Una amiga de mi mama quiso que conozca al hermano de su nuera. Cuando llegue al lugar de la cita y lo vi, rбpidamente me di cuenta de que no era para mi pero quizбs podнa pasar un buen rato. El chico, trajo consigo un poema que habнa escrito y querнa decнrmelo. Era una situaciуn muy rara e incomoda ya que el y yo no concordбbamos en nada y no tenнamos nada que ver. El problema era que la amiga de mi mama no me conocнa tanto, y creнa que si. Es por eso que la cita no funciono.
En el caso de mi hermana, al mudarse a un paнs nuevo la ъnica forma de conocer gente y chicos era por medio de citas. Lo gracioso de la historia es que la seсora de la lavanderнa le propuso salir con su hijo y ella acepto. Al llegar a la cita el chico tenнa labio leporino y era nada atractivo en su aspecto. Mi hermana no podнa disimular no mirar a su labio y en el medio de la cita encontrу a otro chico en la mesa de enfrente que le gusto.
Mi amigo, que es gay y yo salimos hace unas semanas a una fiesta con una amiga mнa. Los dos se hicieron amigos y ella le comento que tiene un amigo de su clase de la universidad que tambiйn es gay y es muy lindo. Entonces arreglaron que por que no se conocнan. AL final de la noche intercambiaron telйfonos y quedo ella en hablar con su amigo. Su amigo acepto y se llamaron. Al encontrarse los dos no tenнan nada de lo que hablar y el otro para hacer la cita mбs corto no pudo disimular su desinterйs y hacia todo rбpido para irse antes.
En fin, las citas a ciegas son algo que debes hacer si la persona que los conecta los conoce bien y puede llegar a saber que te gustara de la otra persona o que buscas. Sin embargo no hay certeza de que saldrбs contento de una forma u otra. Puede pasar que de casualidad la persona te encante y que si tienes la mente abierta saldrбs ganando.
