In what way am I a fake kiwi? I was born in NZ and have spent my life in NZ :moyo

you still will be an Indian for outsiders. try hard though I m sure maybe after few generations your kids would look white but as for now you are an Indian . I know it sucks Aman but that's how it is , no matter how many times you deny it , they will still call you an Indian.

You may have point but NZ'ders don't really have a distinct look. NZ is a pretty multicultural place with immigrants from around the world.
 
What a coincidence, I saw one to. I tried to stir up conversation, thinking it may be our dearest Mamoon, but she said she didn't know any Endy Shandy.
 
Does anyone else get annoyed over how cricinfo's scorecards have the minutes column right next to the runs column? Many a times if I take a quick look, I confuse it to be the number of deliveries faced column.

Even though I know that its the minutes one but I guess it just normal reaction to assume the number of runs and deliveries faced to be together.

Who cares about the number of minutes anway? Its so irrelevant. Don't know what the dunces at Team cricinfo think.

This. Not even an Afridi fan would claim superiority on the basis of the length of his stay at the wicket - in terms of time.

True.

I have emailed them.

The format of the scorecards of matches don't make sense at all.

It is runs, minutes, balls, 4s, 6s and strike rate.

The minutes column is completely irrelevant and unimportant. By placing it right next to the runs column, many people initially confuse it for the balls column because its natural to assume the runs and balls columns to be right next to each other.

I suggest that you take note of this.

Make it runs, balls, 4s, 6s, strike rate, minutes.

The minutes column to the far right because it is the least important statistic of an innings.

Thank you.


Lets see if they do something about it.

Oh wow is that a new feature?

I was looking at the scorecard for the ODI yesterday and since I had missed Pakistan's batting I was looking through the Pak batsmen's totals and thought that Ahmed Shehzad making 108 off 148 balls was a little...weird.
Now I just checked and realized that was 148 minutes.

But the minutes thing is a little inaccurate though..Nasir Jamshed made 2 off 5 balls in 2 minutes? That doesn't sound right. I assume a six ball over lasts 7-8 minutes so Nasir's 'minutes' should be around 5. No?

Not new, its been there for a long time.

You are right. They messed up over Jamshed. 5 balls of a fast bowler will take a lot more than just 2 mins.

This minute column right next to the runs one is plain stupid and I am surprised no body in their creative team has pointed it out.
 
That family dinner didn't go to plan at all. I mean she acts as if I am not there/don't exist.

Didn't look at me at all even though I was give her a few stares hoping for eye contact but no, she wouldn't budge.

Maybe she likes bad boys, but I ain't the one to give up easily.
 
I love mentos.

How about just simply visiting their house for taking something-you can go and ask for something. You go inside the house and hope for a mini meeting. :wahab
Reply to me if you like this idea.:umarakmal

I haven't tried this idea at all;I don't have a crush on anyone.:moyo

That's difficult to pull off.

And what if I don't get to see her? :23:
 
Yeah Mentos is also very good. Too bad you get hooked on eating it one after the other and then you realise the packet's already finished.

:91:
This is what happens. I take one after the other and then I realize its over.

But the worst chewing gum I have ever had is Extra. The taste/juice doesn't last long enough. It finishes off in a couple of minutes.:(
The best is Mentos Gum. :19:
Fresh up and Ding Dong aren't bad either. :yk :23:

That is very unlikely. Maybe she can come and give you a glass of water,the thing that you have come to take,to ask something or any other reason. :rana

By the way,why don't you start a conversation yourself? You can start with any topic and as time will pass,she will get involved as well. :kohli

They have servants, she won't give the glass of water.

I don't even exist for her I think and if I start a conversation, she probably won't participate unless her address her directly.

I think she doesn't find me attractive. Small hearted girl :afridi

Then,I can't help you,my friend. I have never had anything to do with girls. In fact,from the starting of my education I studied in a boys' school.
 
My Muslim father has been persistently trying to convert our house guests to Islam for the last two days. :facepalm: Cringeworthy and awkward.

Maybe the initial nakhras mean some thing big in future .

Where does she study ? Hang around ? Try to bump in to her some where which does not have as formal setting as this dinner had .

I hope you did not rush to the table as soon as dinner was announced & returned with your clothes dirty & a bone hanging out of corner of your mouth :)))

She completed her A levels last summer and I don't know what she's doing now.

Haha no not at all. I don't eat much in public :butt
 
Even i am very conscious while eating with people .I am most comfortable eating alone .
 
When the Lion King was released in 1994, I was on a trip to the UK.

We watched it in a cinema and I fell in love with Scar.

I wanted his action figure but the toy stores wouldn't have it because they said no one wants a Scar action figure :butt

Everyone wanted a Simba or Mufasa, and they didn't understand why I wanted Scar.

I felt as if the whole world is against me and cried all my way back to Pakistan :23:

But got one only weeks later when my uncle brought it for me, who placed a special order at the shop.

That's kind of freaky that you remember what you did when you were 3, that too before I was even born, although that's irrelevant.

Although I do remember the shop vaguley and my tantrum in the plane.

It's Black Friday here in US. Went to best buy and got 10 blue ray DVDs under $50!

Lol I don't wanna get your hopes up high for no reason but if she didn't look at you AT ALL this means something's up / she knows what's up.
Why would she avoid looking at you (even a glance) at all if she didn't think anything about you?
Also I'm a girl and I do this thing when I sense someone is staring at me from time to time, I don't look at them at all / pretend they don't exist. Maybe she is doing the same..

.. or maybe not. :P

Anyways, next time don't be creep and stare, that's all I can tell ya!

Yeah, eating alone is great or with Mum.

:23:
I agree with this. When you are eating with many people,you feel as if everyone is looking at you and they are keeping check of how much you eat. And the worst dish to eat with many people is chawal. They may fall down and cause everyone to look at you.
I am very limited when it comes to eating with others.:jf
(And just to add-I love to have a Pepsi or Coke with most of my meals.:nasir)

i have no issues in big parties ,but when it is a private dinner which seats 8 on dinning table ,i feel conscious .
In India,we still have wedding meals[people who are not affluent ] where every one sits on sheet covered mattresses & there is a big plate from which 4 eat . I CANNOT stand this primitive way of eating :moyo:
 
It's the other way round man?
They used to do so much screaming back then until Shadows' throat surgery or something.
You didn't like their new album? :/

I actually HATED it so much the first time I listened to it. I was like ..'what the hell is this rubbish'. A week later I went back and listened to it and it seemed like the songs had changed or something and every song sounded so amazinggg. It's one of my favorite albums!
Although I do admit that their guitar solos aren't as powerful as the ones in their older songs but overall the vibe in their album is still pretty awesome.
 
old drummer was better . The song they made in remembrance of him is my favorite.
So far away

Yeah that song is so beautiful. They made another song for him but it has a happier vibe to it. It's called St. James.

Yeah the Rev was one of the best drummers ever. But Arin isn't so bad considering that he had to step in Rev's shoes and fulfill the expectations of his fans.

and what's with all the chicks going Gaga over Syn? he looks so mamoon
Hahaha but he is seriously so good looking. His best years were from 2007-2012 when he had this amazing style lol. But then BAM! he came back in 2013 looking like a 50 year old. :(

Looks aside he can reallyyy shred that guitar of his. Seriously. He isn't the world's greatest but he is pretty damn good.

Stole the words from mouth.. I really hate eating with large group of people, especially when it comes to rice or fork and knife

Rev was certainly brilliant . Was a huge lose for them .
Lol he looks gay man and same goes for that vengeance guy though both are good guitarists I admit.
btw don't you think their music is a bit 'Influenced' from other metal bands?

Ah I don't think so :ibutt

She seems rude to me :irfan

But thanks for keeping my hopes up :nasir

Yeah he was. He also always composed and wrote 90% of their songs which were so brilliant and really showed how talented he was.

Influenced? No not really. Although I admit the new album feels more like Metallica than A7X to be honest. Their older stuff was seriously original though. Maybe its because of the Rev?

I just don't like Biology. I feel it is just not interesting. And our teacher teaches in such a boring way that you will feel dizzy after a couple of minutes.:taufeeq

True, I've always found science to be a facade of tedium.
