OUCH.
Argentines winning the World Cup in the Macarena would be Uruguay 1950 all over again.
Brazilians rooting for Germany?

And argentines won't make it easier,they will shove in their faces how better they are. Please after Brasil lost they sang "brazil ha ha ha"

The Netherlands and Germany have a laden history as well.Buenos wrote:Argentines winning the World Cup in the Macarena would be Uruguay 1950 all over again.
The Dutch lost from the Germans in 1974, and because of this (and sadly also because of their 2nd World War history) any football match between them, especially on such a high level, are full of tension and sadly some negativity/hostility amongst the supporters.

Re: Bistro on the corner
I'm starting to think that we really should've set up a FIFA World Cup thread
I hardly ever watch soccer or the World Cup, but I feel bad for the Brazil fans out there (Marie, you're probably ecstatic that they've beaten Brazil to secure the third place). And I'm rooting for Argentina, just because they are the underdogs (sort of?). That Lionel Messi guy looks like he deserves a World Cup win after trying and failing to bring his team to victory for so long.
Anyway, there are plenty of Chris news going on now that I should probably spend more attention to, but I thought I'd share another news in the sports world. Ian Thorpe, a well known Australian swimmer, had recently come out that he is gay and... I would say that we are still a long ways away from becoming a truly tolerant and accepting society.
I stumbled upon this article and some of the comments turn my stomach.
https://au.sports.yahoo.com/news/article/-/24446946/ian-thorpe-reportedly-reveals-he-is-gay/
I can never understand why people have to be so mean.
This made me more impressed by how Chris had managed to find the courage at a tender age of 19y.o. to come out to the public.

I read about that and I am so proud of him.
For years ones in the media made jokes about it that I found distasteful.
I can see why he was depressed and turned to medication.
I hope this is a weight of his shoulders, as it was for Magda Subanzski, as she suffered from depression as well before she came out.

Re: Bistro on the corner
What a match! There was a moment I had no idea who was gonna win. And though I wasn't rooting for Germany,if I've to be fair,they deserved the cup
Re: Bistro on the corner
so glad Germany won, because the best team won. and it's one of the rare times someone i root for wins something big.
i have just one problem. WTF was that golden ball travesty ??? Leo Messi, really ???? he wasn't even the best argentinian player in the cup, let alone the best out of cup players.

I'm with you tanita,why Messi got the golden ball? Was a consolation prize? For me they were better layers than him.
Re: Bistro on the corner
Went to the beach today. I went in with a Chris Colfer-like complexion (as I am of Russian decent and my ancestors did not know from sunlight). Now resemble a cooked lobster. Oww....

Ouch.
There are things you can get to soothe the pain.
I burn just as badly.

Re: Bistro on the corner
i know the feeling. a few years back i went fishing with my dad in the middle of august in a wifebeater shirt. i got burned so badly on my upper back and shoulders that i had blisters all over my skin. it was a nightmare. so take care. here we have this foam you can use on damagee skin and this milk product "sour milk" that everyone eats that is also great to remove heat from burned skin.

Re: Bistro on the corner
Fortunately I have this great after-sun spray that I bought while I was on vacation in Spain last year that keeps the burn from destroying my skin. Between that and good old aloe, I'll be okay.

Re: Bistro on the corner
^ hope you get better (or better yet, didn't get too bad to begin with). i had a bad sunburn when i was a teenager. i tried to look like those american bikini beauty with gorgeous suntan because my own complexion is very fair. i was too young then and nobody heard of "sunscreen" yet, so i plunged into the sun one summer while on an island tour and came back severely burnt. i was in pain for over a week. probably was 3rd degree burn or something. it also permanently destroyed my otherwise perfect poreless skin. so now i walk out w/ a special made UV shielding umbrella plus sunblocks plus uv-blocking garments. i will never get my baby skin back but at least i will have no pain and no burn.

Re: Bistro on the corner
It's a never ending source of frustration that I will never really get tan. I come in two colors - white and red. Maybe on a particularly good summer I'll darken to a light beige but that's it. And even more annoying, in really strong sun I'll break out in a lovely rash all over my legs because I'm fucking allergic to the sun! *sigh*
Not really hurting, but you'd think that after so many years of not tanning that I'd stop trying.

Re: Bistro on the corner
what about artificial suntan colors? or simply, love the color you are born with.
i know in asia women are dying to get pale. dark skin are associated with peasantry and is considered ugly. this is what they dress up when they go outdoors:
i think they should borrow outfits from conservative muslin women.

Same here, although I sometimes get so many freckles from the sun that my skin looks a little bit browner than my usual white.Ranwing wrote:It's a never ending source of frustration that I will never really get tan. I come in two colors - white and red.
Being born in a family of redheads has its disadvantages (I don't have red hair but I inherited the sensitive skin).
Yesterday we had a fun family day at an aquapark (with many waterslides and swimming pools), and now my shoulders are also red and hurting. But a good, cool aloe vera bodymilk helps a lot.
Take care, Wendy. Let it be a small comfort that we share our tender skin type with our idol Chris.
Thank God for good sunscreens (factor 50), or we would need to dress like this every time we went to the beach:

Re: Bistro on the corner
@Ranwing, I'm with Kim, what about artificial suntan? Seems it makes you feel really frustrating not being to get a natural suntan, so this could be a solution.
On a side note, I found this video and brought back to my mind how we have discussed that HW still don't accept a gay man as a lead role, or how some actors prefer to not reveal their orientation to not get in trouble.

Re: Bistro on the corner
i'm going on a little family vacation for about 2 weeks. while i'm not super active lately, i won't be able to browse and take a look at the forum or post every day. i will go to a internet cafe every 2-3 days.
