English People - Who Will You Be Supporting In The World Cup?
...i know this may sound like a daft question, but i know of a couple of English guys who won't be supporting England, and i get the impression there may be a few on here also.
I dinnae understand it, likes.
I can fully appreciate the annoyance with the sudden abundance of meatheads that populate the pubs and the high streets, especially after an unconvinving progression to the knock-out stages, and yes, the majority of the press are unbearable regardless of how we're playing, but surely there's a bottom line of pride in your nation's achievements, and an inherent willingness for the team to succeed, no?
I also get that the England team has its fair share of arseholes, but doesn't every team? The thing is, they're our arseholes, and thus we have to put up with them for the good of the team as a whole.
I will be blindly and loyally supporting our arseholes.
all the way to inevitable quarter final misery.elpollodiablo, xylopwn, harman_kardon, Axis, Parsefone, sharp_yet_blunt, colon_closed_bracket, untrue, tommyroxx, iamwiggy, and moker this'd this
Oh and when England inevitably crash out in the QF
because some foreigner cheated, I'll bring back all the Henry threads and well see if everyone is still of the same opinionGetOffMyLawn this'd this
Those of us who don't support England
and/or have half a brain will be
I can't remember those threads
so what opinion was that? Surely 99% of people agreed he was a cheating fucker?
Most people on here seemed to think it was ok
Because "Anyone else would do it" and that it was Ireland's fault for not putting the game away
So we'll see what happens when someone starts winking and Gerrard does his traditional disappearing act
if it happens to england i'll say what i say about hese things in football: one decision does not a game make.
you're a rugby man too - you know the score.
Yep, that's what happened...
...but the general consensus was a generally unsympathetic "Yeah the ref got it wrong but Ireland should've scored earlier" or "Yeah Henry cheated but these things happen" or "The linesman should've blown but he didn't, it's just one decision, Ireland should man up about it".
Which, in the context of the emotion generated when things like this happen it was a little bit sanctimonious. Particularly when England fans are the WORST group of people for moaning about the ref, or seeking someone to blame when they crash out of a tournament. If the roles had been reversed, England fans (and this definitely, definitely includes myself... I can be a right irrational sod when emotions run high) would've behaved exactly the same and the Irish did.
yeah, this is the dilemma loads of us have
the pubs will be full of wazzocks
the squad will be full of wazzocks
the press will be full of wazzocks
it's still england. it's hard to stop supporting a team you support just because the squad's full of bellends, it's no different with a country
any excuse to use the word wazzock is good
but i'd like to see some other teams do well, namely: spain, cameroon, ivory coast, usa, slovakia, chile
In the West Wing
it's dead good when Martin Sheen pronounces it 'Chilay'.
Also - 1+8=9.
Chilay ftw.
actually, i'd really like uruguay to do well too
not just because they're called u r gay
I must admit
I'm finding it difficult to summon much enthusiasm for getting behind England. I'll want them to win when they play, but I'm not going to get to the stage where the world will end if they get knocked out in the quarter finals. What I will be doing is avoiding the written press (on the whole), ITV1 when they're not actually showing action and TalkSport.
In terms of other sides, I always enjoy watching Holland. Other sides I'll be keeping a keen eye on will be Cameroon, Ghana, South Korea, Spain and Mexico.
Well England.
but int he Euros we supported Holland and it was so much better supporting a team who were actually exciting to watch. made such a difference.
i'm basically going to be supporting football tho. i fucking love the world cup.
re: supporting Holland...
there must have been something missing though, as you're not Dutch, surely? Something DEEP isnide?
yeah but england werent in it.
it wasnt exaclty the same, but it was still fun to go to a pub with all the dutchies and wear holland shirts and have people lke snieder, van persie, robben and van der vaart in your side rather than gareth barry and emile heskey
and the timing of the games this year are ace
they allow for an amazing lie-in, big breakfast / lunch then a settle down for a afternoon of footy bliss.
successionist state conquered by paraguay in 1874
brusma's primal call after conquered a pair o' guys yesterday evening
along with a huge dose of self loathing.
Why is this here?
because you went to congratulate me on my fantastic pun
then forgot to refresh after abandoning your post in awe at mine
I'll be calling 10 telephone numbers in a different Scottish locale everyday in order to enquire as to how the team is getting along.
I'll watch England and hope they win
but not going to be too distraught when it all goes wrong.
I'd like Serbia to do well.
i'll be supporting england
they're already selling 'Anyone But England' t-shirts here, scottish people can be ridiculous.meths this'd this
...i bet the makers of those 'ABE' shirts couldn't believe their luck
when there was that 'uproar' a couple of weeks back, they must have made a fortune!
I'm British-American.
So England and USA. Mostly USA probably. By definition they're the most likely to have some kind of miraculous underdog comeback in the 90th minute as the soccersphere gets booted into the goal basket .
"as the soccersphere gets booted into the goal basket"
Just spilled some food on my desk because of this.deadonthestairs this'd this
Landon Donovan has the most perfect US soccer star name ever, too.
It's not like I don't support England, for sure I want them to do well
But I expect I'll care more about Japan / South Korea. Of course, that doesn't go against supporting England in any way seeing as the former are never going to get beyond the group stages. And I really shouldn't support both given the national tensions there, but, y'know, whatever. I suppose it's just horribly misplaced patriotism, but I don't see that it especially matters.
i watched a Korean game in the last world cup,
with a load of korean students. one of the greatest experiences of my football watching life. everyone at the front of the pub sat on the floor so people behind them could see the tv and everyone went mental when Korea won anything like a free kick or a throw in. great night.
plus whatever team i pull out of the sweepstakes,
plus there are always 1 or 2 teams that I just happen to take a shine to for someone reason, It might be be because they're the plucky underdog, because they have a couple of certifiably insane players or because they have a guy called Papa Bouba Diop or some other nice sounding name.
^ this, basically
England primarily and some other cool dudes for fun. WORLD CUP YEAAAAAH!
I will
support England. I don't know why. Like you say, they're our assholes, and I'd like England to win a world cup in my lifetime. They are mostly a bunch of dickheads though.
Anyone who stops supporting a team
is a wanker.
I'm not English-English, but I'll probably still be wishing them well. I'm pretty much in love with Branislav Ivanovic though, so Serbia might be my adopted team.
The World Cup is the only time
I can support a plucky minnow. I hate FA Cup 3rd round plucky minnows, where Football Focus does an interview with the local baker, who has made some novelty 'local team cakes' and an old lady in an obviously brand new scarf who's never been to a game says "come on you plucky minnows" to the camera, before we cut back to Monish who has a little chuckle and talks about the magic of the cup to Mark. Fuck that noise.
I'll quietly support England from my arm chair, then when we're out, it'll be whichever African team has caused an upset in the group stages.
This year, I'd like to see South Africa do well. They are the hosts so it would be cool and if they win and qualify for the next one, we'll all get to see Kermit Erasmus turn out. I think we'd all like to see Kermit Erasmus at the next World Cup.
I don't know
who Kermit Erasmus is but I'd LOVE to see him at the next world cup just based on his name!
good player
according to FM2009
His Wikipedia has clearly been edited by either his agent, his friends, his family, or himself.
"Compared to Wayne Rooney"
same as i always do in international tournaments
Hmm. I suppose Hungary were only really a force for about a decade, kind of like Spain now in a way..
I don't know how to judge this. The Netherlands have been pretty great since the 70s, right? So that's about 40 years of being a top 10, or thereabouts, team.
Well, the USSR was pretty great for long periods and even won the European Championship once, but never the World Cup. Of course they're defunct now, but over such a long period I'd guess there were stretches where the USSR were statistically 'better'.
Ingurlond obviously, but other than them, Mexico!
because you know what you get with them - inevitable 2nd-round defeat in an awesome 5-goal thriller against someone like Argentina or Brazil, and Rafael Marquez playing on the wing with 3 minutes to go!
England, but I'll probably watch all the games at home alone
I don't know anyone and I currently live in a small town in Scotland. I'm guessing that it wouldn't be the best place to start displaying my allegiances.
I doubt there'll be a sweepstake in my dept as I've not heard anyone say anything about football since I started here. Everyone's too busy going off on walks to collect flowers or something.
England until they get knocked out, then whoever is playing well / exciting football
and definitely not Italy or France. No doubt we can expect more of this sort of thing north of the border:
Is this bit badly worded
or is it a massive dis of the Scotland football team:
His father, Damon Clapshaw, a 34-year-old finance worker originally from New Zealand who now lives in Edinburgh, said: "Hugo decided to support England as there wasn't really much choice"
Anti-Scottish nonsense
Do you know how isolated an incident that was? I mean the whole thing is totally deplorable but it was one incident. And anyone who reads the Daily Mail is an idiot.
If it was the other way around and Scotland were there and England weren't I'm sure there would be incidents of a similar nature in England.
Anti-English sentiment is not all that common up here and most of it is pretty mild. Can't we all just get along.
I have no problem with English people. The English media on the other hand... especially when England are in a football tournament and also when there's a Scottish Prime Minister.
England, but grudgingly
It's a struggle to think of an England player who I like. Milner?
Anyway, I'm ENGERLISH so I'm allowed to both support them all the way whilst enjoying the schadenfreude of them being knocked out controversially/struggle against a really really crap team/generally shit the bed.
It's always either the Brazilians or the Spanish.
Although I wouldn't be surprised if Kim Jong-Il sent out a team of the most fertile and buxom DPRK lasses to support the team in their three consecutive defeats.
(Secretly I kind of want NK to do well - is this a bad thing?)
Australia and Sweden
tend to do well. It seems that to pass sports cameraman, you've got to pass a course in picking attractive women out of the crowd.
England and whoever I draw in the sweepstake at work
I reckon. Can not WAIT.
86 days 6 hours and 36 minutes to go...
ESPAIN ofc
I'm actually happy when England get knocked out. I look forward to the solemn sign off by lineker, wright coming close to tears, speechless shearer, and the slow-mo montage of England's campaign to the 2nd round.
We need to do a sweepstake on what song will go over the montage
I'm going with something by Mumford and Sons
England primarily
But I am also looking out for New Zealand, North Korea and Honduras for the underdog thing. They are the silliest teams in it. Essentially, I am actually supporting everyone who isn't France or Italy. Everyone else is fair for me.
Some cracking sounding group games, my favourites are:
South Korea vs Argentina
Serbia vs Germany (a robust goal-less draw awaits)
Holland vs Cameroon
Brazil vs Ivory Coast
Chile vs Honduras
New Zealand vs Paraguay
I will be so fucking happy if New Zealand win a match.
Such an inoffensive country with the potential to upset so many people...
I really want NZ to do well too..
Especially if Jeff Campbell makes the squad.
I will be supporting
Holland - gonna get myself the shirt and everything. Usually put up a bit of an impression of half heartedly supporting england, but my heart is not in it and this year i won't pretend dammit!
after the dutch, i will be interested in spain, and the african nations.
this thread is 66 replies.
3 lions and all that.
As a non-Britisher,
I'll be supporting any United players who grace the field. Sure the English team is full of pricks but I'd love to see Rooney lift the WC. I'd still like to see Ronaldo do well despite everything. Sure he's a twat, but he used to be OUR twat. So come on anyone Manchester United-related, essentially.
...Except Evra. I adore Evra but France can piss off and die. Cheers.
Oh yeah, if it can't be Rooney, let it be someone in an orange shirt. The Dutch should win it after all this time really. Love a bit of total football.
i know i said holland earlier but
I can't help but feel something for Argentina
don't cry for argentina, soapy
the truth is it never left you.
England of course
like you say it's a blind willingness for our nation to succeed, despite disliking a lot of our moronic fans/the press/some of the playing staff I still want "us" to win. Wanting your own country to win shouldn't be based on logic it should be based on feeling.
I want Italy to do well also and I'll be supporting them unless they play against England.
England first
and the boring boring Italians second. My family is originally from Italy so yeah, always followed them.
When both inevitably go out around the quarters I'll probably support the underdog in every match that follows.
I find it impossible to support England
despite being English. Any willingness for wanting players like Terry, Lampard, Gerrard, Cole et al to do well would be painfully contrived, so I'm not even going to bother this year. The only reason I'd want them not to lose every game would be if Leighton Baines was in the first team, but even then...I just couldn't do it.
I'll be backing the following in order of preference:
1. Argentina - probably the best team in the world
2. USA - due to Landon Donovan and the fact I live here.
3. South Africa - as a host nation, it would be great if they over-performed and because of Steven Pienaar
4. Australia - always good to see Tim Cahill do well on the international stage
5. North Korea - it would be well funny if they did wellsoapy this'd this
I hope you're right about #5
wouldn't want this to happen to their footballers:
waddacountrybrusma this'd this
Can't wait till we get knocked out on penalties
It'll be just like 90 all over again.
And 96.
And 98.
And 04.
And 06.
And 08. Except we didn't quality. PHEW!

Frieberg Center Group for Han Studies
The "Frieberg Center Group for Han Studies," based at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, was born of a fortunate meeting, in Israel, of a number of international Han experts: Prof. Elisa Levi Sabattini (PhD from Ca' Foscari of Venice and INALCO of Paris), associate professor at Università di Sassari (Italy) and visiting researcher at the Frieberg Center; Dr. Rebecca Robinson (PhD from McGill University), postdoctoral researcher at the Frieberg Center; Dr. Sharon Sanderovitch (PhD from UC-Berkeley), postdoctoral researcher at the Zvi Yavetz School of Historical Studies, Tel Aviv University; and Anatoly Polnarov, doctoral candidate at the Jack Joseph and Morton Mandel School for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, Hebrew University.
The Group for Han Studies condenses different aspects of the study of the Han dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE) as represented in—but not limited by—the current research interests of its members: economic reforms and their political implications (Levi Sabattini); comparative empires (Han and Rome), religion, and calendars (Robinson); theories of monarchy, praise literature, and visual culture (Sanderovitch); and disputation at the Han court (Polnarov). Our shared interest is in understanding different facets of the development of the Han imperial system, which was to leave a definite mark on the development of imperial institutions and imperial culture more broadly in subsequent dynasties. In addition to research that involves the surviving rhetorical literature and questions that pertain to imperial ideology, we are particularly interested in the intricacies of court and regional politics, religious practices, and material culture, and in how the study of these topics can enhance our understanding of the imperial project in early China.
The group meets on a regular base in order to share and discuss draft papers, lectures, and talks related to our topics. We further intend to organize a series of workshops as a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration among Han scholars from Israel, Europe, and elsewhere around the world. Details about the first workshop will be announced by May 2018.
Elisa Levi Sabattini is Associate Professor of Sinology at the University of Sassari and she is affiliated as visiting researcher at the Louis Frieberg Center for East Asian Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She received her PhD from Ca' Foscari University at Venice as a co-tutelle degree with the INALCO at Paris in 2006. She was a post-doc fellow at KULeuven (Belgium) with a grant from the CCK Fellowship of Taipei (Taiwan).
Her research focuses on the intellectual history of early China, with special attention to Western Han political rhetoric within the construction of the imperial system, early economic thought, and the idea of "diplomatic war".
She is author of several articles and book chapters, both in English and Italian, published for international peer-reviewed journals, such as Oriens Extremus, Extrême-Orient, Extrême-Occident, Frontiers of Philosophy in China, Monumenta Serica. Levi Sabattini is co-editing a book together with Christian Schwermann on Between Command and Market: Economic Thought and Practice in Early China for Brill (expected for 2018) and co-translating the Xinyu by Lu Jia together with Paul R. Goldin (expected for 2018).
Anatoly Polnarov received B.Sc. and M.A. degrees from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and now is a PhD student at the Mandel School for Advanced Studies in Humanities in the same university. His PhD dissertation title is "Rhetoric of polarization in the Former Han China (206/202 BCE – 9 CE)"
Rebecca Robinson is a postdoctoral fellow at the Louis Frieberg Center for East Asian Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She completed her PhD, "Cult and Calendars in the Ancient Empires of Qin, Han, and Rome" at McGill University in 2017. Her research is in the field of global antiquities, with a particular interest in the role of religion in society.
Sharon Sanderovitch is a Thomas Arthur Arnold Fellow at The Zvi Yavetz School of Historical Studies, Tel Aviv University. She obtained her PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, in the summer of 2017, with a dissertation titled "Presence and Praise: Writing the Imperial Body in Han China." Her study of the intellectual history of early imperial China combines political rhetoric, historiography, and belles lettres, with an evolving interest in the traces of Han visual culture in the surviving literature from the period.

He said that the agencies could be allowed to put up advertisement hoardings and two shops on front side on the toilets and maintain the toilets. The BBMP is obligated to provide toilets as part of social infrastructure in the city as per the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976. As per a survey, he claimed that the city needs at least 25,000 toilets.

When analyzing publications on a per country basis (eg Fig. 1) it is unclear why data from the constituent countries of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) are considered separately, especially since government Research Council spending occurs on a UK -wide basis.

Weight Loss Clients
Melissa Najda
"It was June 2011 and my daughter, Lauren, started training with MAQ to improve her agility and strength for volleyball. As I watched student athletes work hard all summer, I realized I had to get moving again. I always enjoyed running but never worked out on a regular basis. I weighed 165 lbs., and wanted to lose weight and train for a 10 mile run. MAQ provided me with the workouts/running schedule to help prepare me. The first 3 weeks were torture but I made it through! I realized I could do anything now. Each workout was challenging and fun, but motivated me to keep going. I saw results with each workout! In less than 1 year, I lost 35 lbs. and ran a 8-9 min/mile (down from 12 min/mi). By conquering MAQ's training, you not only lose weight but gain physical and mental strength. It gives you the confidence to succeed in all areas of your life!"

A Brady Putdown That Falls Flat
More than anything, it's just a bizarre insult to choose.
What Antonio Cromartie called New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to a Daily News reporter—in case you missed it, he used an unprintable term familiar to any New Yorker who's ever, well, lived in New York—was crude and unnecessary. Not surprisingly, it's been immediately pounced on by those who believe that Rex Ryan's Jets are a franchise gone amok, with no sense of decorum.
Mr. Ryan didn't help himself with a mush-mouthed defense of Mr. Cromartie on Wednesday. "First off, in this country, you're allowed to have opinions, and all that kind of stuff," Magic Khakis said. One wonders how respectful Mr. Ryan would be of Mr. Cromartie's free speech rights had the cornerback used the same term about a teammate.
Or Mr. Ryan.
"Obviously, as an organization, we respect Tom Brady, there is no question about it," Mr. Ryan continued on, adding later: "Am I going to punish Cromartie for saying something, or whatever? No."
Was Mr. Ryan worried about looking like a hypocrite if he slammed Mr. Cromartie? He shouldn't have been. Mr. Ryan does possess a big mouth—and as we learned on HBO, it's not always PG-13—but he's been sharp enough to know the line between obnoxious and nasty. Mr. Cromartie does not. Though we find Mr. Ryan entertaining and not the Threat to Civilization that others do, the coach should have scolded his player and squished this silly story.
Instead, it's more oxygen for this overbaked, one-way feud with a division champ that one month ago thrashed the Jets 45-3.
Told of Mr. Cromartie's remark, Mr. Brady coolly channeled Don Draper and declined to take the bait. "I've been called worse," he said. "I'm sure there is a long list of people that feel that way."
Are there? That's the strangest thing about Mr. Cromartie's comment—it seemed to come out of some alternate universe of misplaced put-downs. Mr. Brady has said he "hate(s)" the Jets and delights in taunting them, as he did during that Dec. 6 destruction in Foxborough. But does that merit such a seven-letter expletive?
Let's give Mr. Cromartie the benefit of the doubt, which is probably more than he deserves here. Is Mr. Brady actually loathsome? We're talking about bona fide loathsome—not just the knee-jerk dislike that any Patriots opponent is entitled to.
There's a lot to Mr. Brady that could make a football traditionalist crazy. There's the supermodel wife and magazine covers and the "Entourage" cameo and the bespoke Tom Ford suits. There's That Hair, though Mr. Brady's cut has become less mockable as it's lengthened from Justin Bieber to Kings of Leon.
It's not as if Patriots fans haven't had their own concerns. Prior to this sparkling 14-2 season, there were worries in New England that perhaps Mr. Brady had become too distracted and starry for another Super Bowl run.
But Mr. Brady has proven he contains multitudes. He is a three-time Super Bowl champ who can attend the Costume Institute Gala at the Met. He's rallied from a season-ending knee injury and an embarrassing playoff loss last season to the Ravens and the exile of Randy Moss to have an MVP-type year.
He's Johnny Unitas' soul in Brad Pitt's life. He's exactly the opposite of what Mr. Cromartie said he was.
Whereas Antonio Cromartie is a Jets cornerback who will be starting Sunday afternoon against Tom Brady.
Now who would you rather be?

"Hello Lisa's," a perky voice said into the phone. That voice could only belong to one person. Wynonna. Also known as (to me exclusively), Queen Bitch. I don't like her and she sure as hell doesn't like me. Wynonna likes to act like she's a saint and that she loves everyone and everything but she and I both know how fake she really is.
"Hi Wynonna," I said also in a fake happy tone.
"Hi," she said giggling, "who, may I ask, this is?"
I pulled the phone away from my ear and stared at it incredulously. Girl knew exactly who this was.
"This is Alexis," I said in a snarky tone. I really wasn't in the mood to play games with anyone.
"Ok, Alex. I'm sorry, what was the intention of this call? Are you calling to order something or do you perhaps have a question about something."
This girl was getting on my last nerve and I just woke up. Today was going to be the worst.
My hand tightened its grip on the phone. "No," I said a bit louder, "this is Alexis."
"Oh Alexis," she said laughing innocently. "You sound like a man."
"I've spoken to you on the phone before," I said perplexed.
"Oh, yes I know but you know how things are now-a-days."
"I don't know what you mean," I said sighing.
"You know, with sex changes. How is yours coming along?"
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I yelled into the phone. "I am not having a sex change!"
"Could've fooled me," I heard Wynonna mumble over the phone.
"You want to say that again?" I challenged.
"I said, what do you need?" Wynonna said instead.
"Am I still scheduled for work today?" No matter how much I hated Wynonna, I had to play nice because she was my manager. She wasn't really my boss but she had hiring and firing rights and I had to get on her good side since our actual boss wasn't always present to see how things were going on at work.
"Yes, you're still scheduled. Don't be late," Wynonna said hanging up.
I angrily sighed and ripped my blankets off my body. It was raining heavily and though I needed the extra money for school and shopping, I hated working. It was tiresome and I really didn't like our clientele. I worked at the best diner in my small little town. You'd think that living in a small town and working in a mediocre sized diner, we wouldn't get many customers but a lot of people from neighbouring towns come over just to eat at our diner.
My stomach made a loud growling noise as I went to the bathroom. I knew I shouldn't have eaten the week old pasta that was in my fridge. So now, not only will I probably have a stomach ache from bad food, but I'll have to work all day while on my period. Fantastic.
After showering and eating, I went online for a bit and spent a ridiculous amount of time watching, "The Boyfriend tag," videos.
It was 3pm by the time I got bored and looked outside my window to check the weather; it was raining harder than before. I rolled my eyes dramatically as I got ready to go to work. My shift was from 4pm to closing (10pm).
I have this routine where I turn on the radio to listen to music while I got ready. I was about to walk away and wear my uniform when one of my favourite songs came on. I listened to it and danced around a little bit. After it ended, another one of my favourite songs came on, so I of course had to listen to it too. Before I knew it, I had listened to five songs and I was seriously running late for work.
So with my luck, I made it to work with a minute to spare, with no makeup. My umbrella also happened to break during my run to work, so I was soaking wet. Plus, to top it all off, my boss, Xavier, was standing behind the register with the root of all evil, Wynonna.
"Hi Alexis!" my boss said happily. "Good to see you? How've you been?"
"I'm ok. Yourself?" He came over to me and gave me a tight hug.
"Oh I'm swell, thanks for asking." Did I mention that I love my boss? Because I do. He was a kind man. "I was about to leave but I wanted to see you and to say hi before I headed out."
"Great for you to make it on time for once," Wynonna said before I could reply to Xavier. "I cannot remember the last time Alexis made it on time Xavier. You got lucky today if she made it on time. Better buy a lottery ticket since this is a once in a lifetime occurrence," Wynonna said in a happy tone. I could smell her jealousy. She was just angry that Xavier liked me more than her. The only reason she was manager was because she has worked at the diner longer than I.
"Ok, Alexis, well I'll see you around. I've got to go. Bye now." I smiled smugly at Wynonna because Xavier completely disregarded everything she said.
"Oh, Wynonna, were you saying something? Xavier didn't seem to catch that."
Wynonna rolled her eyes and pointed to the break room. "Just go get ready so I can leave."
With it being so slow, there was only one cook working today. The one cook who sat on a stool in the kitchen smoking a joint. I waved at him before I went to the break room to drop off my purse. He couldn't get in trouble because I knew that Wynonna was his dealer.
Wynonna liked to bring extra clothing to work all the time since she didn't like to be seen in public wearing the diner's uniform. I was so tempted to pull a Regina George and cut up her clothes, but I thought better of it.
When I returned, Wynonna was heading to the break room to grab her stuff and leave when some guy came in. He was dressed in a leather jacket and had light red hair. From where I stood, he had beautiful eyes and a nice build to him. He looked almost like the bad boy type but had innocence to him. His body screamed, "Try me! I can take you! I've beaten guy in bars three times my size." However, his eyes screamed, "help, I'm a lonely kitten and all I want is love."
He flashed a blinding smile as he came up to the front of the diner to order.
"Hi there," he said kindly. A bit too kindly.
I wasn't having it for a minute.
"Oh, hi there!" Wynonna said out of nowhere. Wasn't this girl on her way home?
The guy nodded to her and looked at her for a bit. I rolled my eyes and turned around to excuse myself so they could flirt, but the guy spoke up before I could get away.
"Uh miss?"
I slowly turned around and gave him a fake smile I had mastered over the course of working at the diner.
"Yes, sir?"
"Alexis, I can take care of this customer, why don't you go wash the dishes or something," Wynonna said brushing me aside.
"But -,"
"I'm not paying you to stand around and do nothing," Wynonna snapped.
I turned away and went to the kitchen to wash dishes. Wynonna always did this when I was about to serve an attractive customer. She'd come in, tell me to go away and she'd serve them. The funny thing about her doing this all the time was that it meant that she was never successful. All the guys could see right through her, that or she annoyed them to no end.
I peered down into the sink and my blood instantly boiled. There weren't even dishes in the sink! Either they'd been done already or they hadn't used any of the dishes today.
I had to take a few deep breaths. I couldn't lash out at Wynonna. Give her a hint of attitude, use sarcastic and snarky tones, I could do, I could easily pass that as being friendly and meaning no harm, but I couldn't actually lash out at her because I could get fired for that.
"Breathe Alexis, breathe. You are calm, you are serene. You're cool like a cucumber." I said aloud. "Breathe…breathe. Oh what am I doing? This isn't working."
I stomped back out to the front of the diner when I saw Wynonna cross her arms and glare at the red headed guy. "You don't know what you're talking about!" She said in a venomous voice. "You can't say that to me!"
"You shouldn't talk to customers like that," he replied in a smooth cool voice. His voice was deeper than I had anticipated, now that I actually paid attention to it. It didn't suit his look but I liked it. "Didn't you get the memo? The customer is always right."
In that moment, I witnessed something miraculous. Wynonna was silent. She didn't have anything to say to him. The guy looked over at me and smiled. "You're back!"
It was a clear dismissal to Wynonna, who huffed, went to the break room, grabbed her stuff and practically ran out the door.
"You gotta tell me what you said to her," I told him walking up to the bar table that separated us.. Up close, I could analyze his hair thoroughly. I really liked the color of his hair. It seemed to shine and radiate a certain glow that I couldn't describe. I've always been fascinated by people with red hair. Since I didn't know his name, I decided to call him Red.
"I didn't say anything to her," Red said after he drank his water. He smacked his lips and gave me a wink. I squinted my eyes at him and he started laughing. He had really nice teeth...and smile, but that didn't matter.
I squeezed my cheeks to stop myself from smiling. I still didn't trust him for some reason and I didn't want him to think that just because he got me to smile meant that he had won me over.
He must've noticed that I was trying not to smile because he just smiled wider.
"Seriously what did you say to her?"
"Nothing much," Red shrugged. "I just don't like bullies and I saw the way she treated you. It wasn't cool."
"Uhh, wow. Thanks."
"Is she always like that?" Red asked.
"Yes, but to be fair, I'm not the kindest person to her either." Now I felt bad for being rude to Wynonna.
"You and me both," he said somewhat comforting me.
Red stared at me as he tapped his fingers on the table. His eyes searched my face as if he was looking for something. His eyes stopped scanning my face and he looked straight into my eyes and grinned.
"You're beautiful," he said smiling.
"You smile too much," I said attempting to divert the conversation from where he wanted to take it.
"I'm only smiling because you're a vision," he said. I rolled my eyes and sighed. He was lying. There was no way he could find me beautiful. There wasn't anything wrong with me. I didn't consider myself ugly but I wasn't a model either. I was about 20 pounds overweight and I was 5'2". I had a bit of a muscular manly build (mostly in my arms) and really short hair.
"Are you here to eat or to bother me from doing my job?"
"Ohh I'm sorry," Red said giving me a puppy dog look. "I didn't mean to keep you away from all these customers," he said looking around the empty diner.
"Ha ha," I said fighting to laugh for real. "What can I get you, Red?" I instantly winced from my stupidity.
"Red?" He asked grinning. "I like that. Not original but I like it."
"I didn't mean that."
"I don't mind," he said.
I picked up a menu and handed it to him. "You want to check this out?"
"Why are you so eager for me to eat? Do you really want me gone that much?"
I sighed and looked down at my hands, "sorry," I mumbled.
"It's ok, doll."
There came a silence between us that wasn't awkward. Red was looking at the menu and I was drinking a can of coke while I studied him. He looked like a good guy. Like a guy who would try his best to protect other people. Sort of like what a cop is supposed to be.
"Where are you from?" I asked. Since the town was so small, I practically knew everyone. The whole damn town came to the diner when the weather was fine.
"Far away," he said avoiding my eyes.
"Far away where?"
"New York."
"New York?"
Red nodded, got up and grabbed his glass of water. He walked over to a booth and sat there. I followed him.
"What are you doing in Alberta?"
"Talking to you," he said smiling.
"Stop avoiding the question," I said smiling a bit.
"Canada is really nice," he praised.
"So is New York."
"Not for me," he said giving me a sad smile.
I wanted to ask him more questions but I pitied him so I let it go. "Do you want anything to drink other than water?"
"No, I'm fine," he said carefully taking off his leather jacket. He had nice strong arms. Red cleared his throat and my eyes snapped to his. "My eyes are up here," he said with a shit eating grin.
"You think you're so cool," I said in a mocking tone.
"Oh, I wouldn't say that, but I am pretty great."
"How humble of you."
"So what's your favourite thing to eat here?" Red asked after another minute of silence.
I shrugged and looked towards the kitchen door.
"Oh come on, you've got to have a favourite meal."
"I like literally everything here. They all taste great. Just depends on the day and what I'm craving for."
Red hummed and grabbed my hand. I quickly pulled my hand back. "What are you doing?"
"I'm just looking at your hands," he said reaching for them again. "I give really good massages," he said.
This time, when he grabbed my hand, I didn't pull it away. True to his word, Red gave really good massages. My hands were over worked and I had a few calluses.
"Your hands are dry," he commented quietly.
"Well, I'm sorry. I'll be sure to moisturize them just for you next time."
"Hey now," Red said raising his eyebrows. "Don't get sarcastic on me. I'm trying to give you advice. Just moisturize your hands. You'll thank me some day." Red kissed my hands before he gently set them onto the table.
"You're odd," I said.
Red shrugged nonchalantly. He took a deep breath and furrowed his eyebrows. "Is the weed I smell?"
"Yeah, the cooks smoking it in the kitchen." I didn't know why I told him that. He could've been an undercover health inspector.
"He's allowed that?" Red asked.
"Well no one's going to complain," I said shrugging. "It's not like he does it all the time, just today since we're not busy."
"Yeah," I said not knowing what else to say.
"So tell me about yourself," Red said.
"There's nothing to tell," I said shrugging. "My life isn't interesting."
"There's always something to tell," Red said urging me on.
"Fine," I sighed. Where do I even start? My mind went completely blank. It was like a friend asking me what my favourite song was and forgetting every single song I've ever listened to. "I'm 20 years old. I'm about to go to university soon. I took 3 years off university to save money for school. I don't want to loan any of the government's money."
"You want to support yourself. I respect that," Red said smiling.
"I want to study psychology," I said getting more comfortable with him.
"That's awesome. What made you want to do that?"
I shrugged. "I never really thought about that. I guess the human brain and how it works fascinates me."
Red smiled at me and took a deep breath. "I use to go to Columbia University, but then some things happened and I dropped out. I'm 22 by the way."
"You have a baby face," I commented.
"As do you," Red said.
"What did you study at Columbia?"
I knew he didn't live up to the bad boy image he wanted to personify.
"So did you move up here with your family?"
Red stayed quiet for a long time before he picked up the menu. "I think I want the Mucho Burger with a side of fries. Can I also get scrambled eggs and a salad? You guys have fruit salad too right? Can I get that as well?"
"That's a lot of food," I said.
"I'm really hungry," Red said giving me a shy smile. "I can eat it all."
I got up without saying anything and gave the order to the cook. "Man, you mean I have to make something?"
"Well that's your job, dude."
"Fine," he said reluctantly getting up from his stool.
I went back out to the main area and Red waved over that I should sit with him again to talk. We just spoke about school and the subjects we hated and loved.
"I really hated gym," Red said. "I was this lanky kid and by then, most of the guys had started to bulk up. I was such a loser."
"Well it looks like you didn't change much," I joked.
"You think you're funny," Red laughed. "Have you seen these bad boys?" He flexed his arms giving me a gun show when the cook announced that the food was done.
True to his word, Red ate all his food. He was the type of person that would like to eat and talk at the same time, but he didn't do it in a disgusting way. It was kind of adorable.
We talked about things we loved, our hobbies and our pet peeves. I began to trust him and before I knew it, I was openly laughing and sharing stories with him. For someone I had just met, Red interested me a lot and made me happy. Most people couldn't do that.
However, once the topic of family came along, Red's body stiffened and he closed up. The only thing I got out of him was that he was an only child, but he did have step and half siblings.
"That doesn't make you an only child," I said.
"I am the only child of my mom and dad, so yeah it does."
"Whatever floats your boat."
"So you have four other siblings?" Red asked.
"Yeah," I replied stealing one of his fries. He didn't seem to mind. I smiled at how good the fry tasted.
"You've got a beautiful smile," Red said. "You should smile more often."
"Well, you still smile too much, Red." Of course that made him smile more.
"You're a wonderful person, Alexis."
"How'd you know my name?" I asked.
"That girl said it earlier," he answered.
Oh right. Wynonna did say my name in front of him.
Red looked at his watch and frowned. "I'm really sorry but can I bother you for a cup of coffee? Please."
"Yeah, sure." He had finished all his food and like most people, he wanted a cup of coffee to finish it all off.
Before I could get up, Red grabbed my right hand and kissed it. "Thank you," he said.
"I'm just getting you a cup of coffee," I said.
"I know, but you've done a lot more than you know. Thank you." For some reason, his gratitude felt like there was too much meaning into it. It also sounded like a goodbye.
As I got up and walked away to get him his cup of coffee, I could've sworn I heard Red say, "I'm sorry." I didn't think much of it, so it was a bit of a surprise when I came back to the table to see Red gone.
He had dined and dashed.
I felt like a fool. Was it his plan all along? For me to trust him only for him to dash out the door as soon as my back was turned?
I was clearing up his table when something caught my eye.
Red had left his jacket. I picked it up and inspected it closely. It looked old but it was still in good condition. On the inside of the jacket, there was an 'If Lost Tag,' on it. There were two names on it. The first said Dean Reftic, but the Dean was crossed out and Levi was written above it.
There was a contact number on it. I contemplated whether I should call it or not. Red seemed to care about his jacket so he'd have to come back for it. But I also felt that he wouldn't come back because he may fear the consequences of dining and dashing.
It was the next day that I decided that I was going to call Red and return his jacket.
I dialed the number and held my breath.
"Hello?" Red's voice said after the fourth ring. His voice sounded even better on the phone.
"Hi," I said biting my lip. "Is this Levi?" I knew perfectly well that it was him but for some reason, I was nervous.
"Guess you found out my name."
"Guess so."
"I'm sorry for doing what I did but I had to," he said sounding sincere.
"I have your jacket," I said not knowing what else to say.
"I know." Red said. "I realize that I may sound like an asshole but is there any chance I could get it back? It's really important to me."
"Who's Dean?" I asked.
"My dad."
"I'll give it back to you on one occasion," I offered.
"Anything," Red…Levi said sounding desperate.
"Tell me everything."
There was a long pause before Levi's gentle voice said, "Ok."
So that's it. I decided to end the story to there. I really hope you all liked it! Perhaps I'll write another short of this but from Red's/ Levi's perspective. Maybe I'll reveal all his secrets. Please let me know what you thought! :)

JOPLIN � Hidden in the middle of downtown Joplin is one of the most opulent movie theaters of its day.
When the Fox Theatre opened at 415 S. Main St. in 1930, a night at the movies was more than just entertainment.
�People dressed up to go to the movies,� said Brad Belk, director of the Joplin Museum Complex. �The movies allowed people in Joplin to feel like they were part of the larger community in the U.S.�
Before the popular black-and-white movies started for the evening, the previews were newsreels on local outlaws Bonnie and Clyde and updates on World War II.
It was information, good and bad, Belk said, before the motion pictures offered audiences the chance to forget their troubles of an economic depression and then a war.
�It was a release,� he said. �Everybody could go in there and park their troubles at the door.�
Several other movie theaters from that era still exist throughout the area. Ongoing renovation projects at some of those have been undertaken to restore them to their former glory.
But in the 1930s, there was no place bigger or better in Joplin to go see a movie than the Fox Theatre.
It took 300 men working simultaneously and $500,000 to build the Fox in seven months, said Joplin Mayor Gary Shaw.
At one time, the theater had 35 employees and a full orchestra. It even boasted the largest neon sign in Missouri for a short time.
�It was the premier movie theater in Joplin,� Belk said. �It was so lavish.�
Some of its most prominent design elements include blind arcades, corkscrew columns, classical orders and recessed alcoves furnished with statues. It had seating for nearly 2,000 people.
The theater shut down in the early 1970s because of increased competition from modern theaters and rising operating costs, according to the building�s 1991 application to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In 1974, Central Assembly Church in Joplin bought the building because its congregation was growing too quickly to build a new structure. Shaw, executive administrator of what is now called Central Christian Center, said church leaders decided early on to restore the old theater instead of gutting it.
�I remember hearing someone say that these buildings like the old Fox are national treasures and that they actually belong to the community and that the owners are just caretakers,� Shaw said. �That�s always stuck with me, and we�ve tried to do that.�
Central Christian uses the theater for its church services and has maintained nearly every bit of the original theater including the chairs, carpet, ticket booth and tapestries. Even the ancient air-conditioning units still cool the theater turned sanctuary.
The church still shows old movies in the theater occasionally, and it has also served as the stage for graduations, weddings and some cultural events.
Just across the Kansas border, another historic Fox Theatre is getting a facelift.
The Fox in Pittsburg was built in 1920 �along the same lines as the Isis in Kansas City,� according to old newspaper stories. It is an exaggerated two-story building in an Italian Renaissance revival style. It underwent a massive interior renovation in 1926.
Despite being closed for more than 20 years starting in 1985, today the theater looks very much like it did when that 1926 renovation was finished. The Colonial Fox Theatre Foundation saved the Fox from demolition and bought the property in 2007.
The building was added the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. It is being renovated.
Of the theaters that survived, few still regularly show movies. But at the Plaza Theatre in Lamar, people can still see a first-run matinee for $5 a person.
The theater was built in the 1930s in the art-deco style of the day. It served as a movie theater in Lamar until the 1980s when it shut down, but a group of residents took on the project of restoring the old theater in 1995. Five years and $500,000 later, it reopened.
Lynn Calton, Lamar city administrator, said the theater has its original 800 seats and the original draperies and murals.
The Plaza now serves as the only movie theater house in Lamar, and Calton said it was worth saving if only for the memories.
�They had these movies back then called serials: cowboy movies, and you�d watch an episode on a Saturday and watch the hero get blown up and then come back the next Saturday and find out that he narrowly escaped,� Calton said, remembering his times at The Plaza. �It cost a dime to get in, and it was a nickel to buy pop.�
The Midland in Coffeyville is still under renovation, but Kenneth Burchinal, executive director of Midland Theatre Foundation, said when it�s done, the historic theater will be worth the wait.
The Midland opened in 1928 and was a major area attraction. It offered the latest movie technology of its time including amplified orthophonic music, a silver sheet screen, a pipe organ, electric lighting and modern heating, cooling and ventilation systems.
Some of the architectural details include crimson and gold draped fabrics, Spanish-motif tapestries, crystal chandeliers and an ornamental drinking fountain.
The city of Coffeyville bought the historic theater in 2001 and turned it over to Burchinal�s foundation to restore it. Burchinal said the group just finished gutting the inside of the building and hopes to have the stained-glass windows repaired by this fall.
�We hope this will become a mainstay of downtown Coffeyville again,� he said of the Midland.

Each morning when I wake up without the alarm, I am haunted by the fear that I must be late for something. I still feel tension in my back every time I hear the words "teacher" and "government initiative" on the radio, and then remember that the insult can no longer hurt me. I can start work in my dressing gown, clutching my coffee, and when I get weary pop out and do the weeding, or some shopping, or go for a swim. But I do so furtively,glancing over my shoulder as if looking for the deputy head in charge of cover. I feel twinges of teacherline ss - fear of bells, lesson plans, students in crisis, of marking reaching crisis point in the in-tray - in the way that amputees are said to feel pain in their missing limb.
I don't know how my colleagues put up with me. Once a week I go into college and teach in the way everyone should be allowed to - only about what I know, only when I'm fully rested and happy - and tell them how ill they all look. I expect them to rise up and mug me. I don't feel anyone should be allowed to do this simply on the strength of one volume of poems.I expect, every day, to be stopped.
But then "real life" seems to be a flexible concept. When I started in teaching as a 22-year-old, in the merchant-bankerish Eighties, people frequently used to tell me that I didn't live in the "real world". They meant that I didn't deal with money, I didn't wear a suit, I stood no chance of getting a Christmas bonus, and I didn't stay in the office until half past nine attempting to impress the boss. But then these were the kind of people who believed in the housing boom, and that turned out not to be so real after all.
Now, in this strange new world I've entered, a world inhabited by writers, journalism and publishing, where everyone has a phone and is constantly on it, where no one has to pay for lunch, teaching seems positively gritty with "realness" and worthiness. My tales of the classroom are missionary stories, as exotic as the strange customs of another tribe. "You used a Banda!" shrieks the publicist, in horror. "But how did you answer the phone?" asks the agent. And, over and over again, people say: "You taught in the state sector? Wasn't that frightening? How did you manage to do that and write?"
I enjoy all this. I feel brave, hardened, street credible, vaguely noble, even though I know that if my interlocutors could see the quiet, carpeted corridors of my sixth-form college, and meet my eminently civilised if not entirely adult students, they would be swiftly disillusioned. I don't correct them; I think they are at least half right. Teachers should be greeted with awe, and teaching is the most real of worlds, because it is where so much of our emotional landscapes and ideas about ourselves are formed. That is why politicians and people you meet at parties always have such firm ideas of what you should be doing in the classroom; they were at school themselves, and they know all about it. I think it is entirely possible, for example, that John Major's tragic need to belong to the Tory party and evident need to recreate the kind of school that failed him stemmed from his experience at Rutlish Grammar all those years ago.
They are wrong, though, to think that teaching is a very different thing from writing, or to look on the classroom simply as a source of writing material, a seething mass of raw emotion to draw on. It is true that school life has supplied me with any number of metaphors for the world, but, more importantly, most of my skills as a writer were learned through teaching. Filleting and presenting a single poem to a class of 15-year-olds is a far better way of getting to know the bones and structure of the language than turning out a generalised essay at university. Answering questions from such a class is far more likely to raise interesting points and layers of ambiguity than the automatic comprehension of a sophisticated audience. Selecting work for different age groups makes you endlessly aware of the need for clarity, accessibility and concrete images, and fills you with admiration for the poets who achieve it.
Being an English teacher means that you are generally reading Shakespeare,often once a day, mostly aloud, and absorbing the rhythms, nuances and plots with an intimacy experienced by no one else except a few theatre directors. Teachers learn to be performers - there is no point trying to get students to read with meaning if you can't do it yourself - and readings are an increasingly important part of a poet's job. Above all, teaching is an extended exercise in imagination and empathy - not just reading a text for yourself, but thinking out how it it is being received by others. There could be no better training for understanding audiences or creating characters.
These qualities, though, are also exactly what makes teaching so peculiarly exhausting. And it is precisely because teaching and writing are so similar that in the end I found I could no longer combine them successfully. I was exhausted and teaching badly, and ours is a profession in which it is particularly difficult to coast. I can't imagine, though, a life in which I didn't have contact with the classroom, which is where so much of my "real life" has happened. Perhaps that is why this freelance business seems so unreal - I'm just taking an unusually long summer holiday, or a sabbatical.
