`Mikel signs five more years for Chelsea`

Speculations about John Obi Mikel future at Chelsea were put to rest after he signed a new five year contract extension at Chelsea.

He has thus committed his future to the European Champions until 2017, meaning he would now spend 11 years at the club.

He joined Chelsea in the summer of 2006 after controversially pulling out of a move to Manchester United.

He said after the signing 'Chelsea seems like my home now because i have been here for over six years and i enjoy my time here.

Congrats Mikel. Make us proud.

FACT OF LIFE!

A boat docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village.
A tourist complimented the local fishermen on the quality of their fish and asked
how long it took him to catch them.
“Not very long.” they answered in unison.
“Why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?”
The fishermen explained that their small catches were sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families.
“But what do you do with the rest of your time?”
“We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children, and take siestas with our wives.
In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs.
We have a full life.”
The tourist interrupted,
“I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you!
You should start by fishing longer every day.
You can then sell the extra fish you catch.
With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat.”
“And after that?”
“With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers.
Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant.
You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City , Los Angeles , or even New York City !
From there you can direct your huge new enterprise.”
“How long would that take?”
“Twenty, perhaps twenty five years.” replied the tourist.
“And after that?”
“Afterwards?
Well my friend, that’s when it gets really interesting, ” answered the tourist, laughing. “When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!”
“Millions? Really? And after that?” asked the fishermen.
“After that you’ll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast,
sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife
and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends.”
“With all due respect sir, but that’s exactly what we are doing now.
So what’s the point wasting twenty five years?” asked the Mexicans.
And the moral of this story is:
Know where you’re going in life….
you may already be there!!!!

SHE KILLED HERSELF BECAUSE SHE WAS LONELY.

FAMILY IS INFACT EVERYTHING

glamorous 28-year-old businesswoman

A kenya businesswoman living in Britain has killed herself because she could not cope with living alone without her family who were spread across the world.

Sales manager Sharon Bukokhe was a high achiever working for a family planning charity but felt lonely because relatives including her husband lived abroad.

She was said to have used her laptop to research ways to commit suicide, applied full make up and painted her nails before she suffocated herself at her flat in April. Unbelievable.

A diary found after her death said: ‘I think that any life is as valid as the next, such that an ending of 25 is as good as 88. I have no real regrets or fears any more, I just feel decisive and justified.’

She was a graduate of design and engineering at Nottingham Trent University and settled in the UK in 2002 an inquest was told.

EVEN ARSENAL TARGET CAN'T WATCH THEM.

lost 1 - 2

Arsenal lost or perhaps were beaten by Greek side Olympiacos Tuesday night and one of the players they have been watching and willing to acquire just can't watch them play.

Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha has been watched by the club's scouts for much of the season, but after they fell behind in Athens, the England forward stopped watching them.

Zaha complained on twitter

I swear I'm not watching arsenal anymore' Arsenal are poor. plain and simple, sorry @Ian Wright0 its so annoying watching them, used be made of steel, Now, papier mache!

I don't know if i totally agree with the 20 year old but Arsenal have indeed been poor.

MANCHESTER CITY: WORST ENGLISH CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TEAM

LOSES AGAIN

Mancini Manchester City lost again to Germany Champion Borussia Dortmund in Tuesday Champions League final round robin matches.

With this loss, Manchester City will end at the bottom of their group and won't even qualify for the Europa League. They didn't win a single match home or away.

Though i think the player didn't want to play in that league in the first place so they were atleast going for a draw. But when you shoot for the Moon instead of the Sun, you won't end up in the Stars.

ITS FINALLY HERE, EVERY CHILD'S FANTASY.

PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT.

A CAR THAT ACTUALLY TURNS INTO A TRANSFORMER. COOL

Yes its finally here.

A Japanses robotic expect has built the world's first real-life, working Transformer.

Children of the Eighties will remember the Transformers toy range and cartoon as one of the most iconic of its era.

But, until now, working versions have been unavailable.

Meet 'Transform Robot Version 7.2, built by a hobby robot researcher from Kashiwa, in Japan, Kenji Ishida.

TRV 7.2 is the first built and marketed remote-control car that is "more than meets the eye'. It can convert from a cool looking 1/12 scale RC car into a robot hero in seconds.

And thats not all, It also comes equipped with a rocket launcher in each arm, working lights and a WiFi camera that allows users to follow its exploits. Can you beat that?

It's making me want to be a kid again. My god, where was this guy when i was a kid.

There's more:

It's controlled by what appears to be a modified Playstations joypad, transforming from a car into a robot and back again in seconds. Oh my god. I must have my hands on this thing.

It is able to both walk on two legs and, just like any other RC car, drive on its four wheels.

The WiFi camera transmits a view of the world as seen by the robot to any internet connected device like a PC or tablet so that the owner can get a totally immersive experience.

Unbelievable. But this is just the start of the research. By 2030, Mr Ishida hopes to build his first full size (now we are talking) fully working transforming robot that humans can ride. How old would i be then? Common man, can't you do it any faster.

By the way, it is not in anyway endorsed by the Transformers' maker Hasbro.

This toy will be a dream come true for so many men who grew up in the Eighties and early Nineties when the Transformers franchises offered what were among the coolest and most imaginative toys available.

Please, let me have my hands on one, thats all i ask.

STRANGE BUT TRUE. YOU COULD BE PREGNANT AND DON'T KNOW IT

Woman visits doctor with back ache issue but delivers a baby.

When Kayleigh Renwich visited the doctors, all she had in mind was for the agonishing back ache to stop.

Infact, she thought she had developed a kidney infection. But what happened six hours later, blow her mind. She was infact pregnant and not only that, five weeks overdue. Crazy.

If this was her first pregancy, one would have said 'ok, i get it, she doesn't have any experience but Kayleigh is a 24-year old nursery nurse, from Stanley, County Durham and a mother of a beautiful girl Grace.

Ms Renwich said, she didn't realised she was pregnant because she continued to see her periods throughout her pregancy and bizarrely had actually lost weight - dropping from a size 16 to a size 12 - 14.

She said: 'You read about women not realisisng they were pregnant and think 'how did you not know?'. I had no pram, no cot nothing. Well now she knows. Science doesn't have all the answers, God does.

She said, she felt pains in her back and when she visited the park with her partner and their two year-old daughter Grace in May this year. At first, she thought her back ache was caused by a kidney infection and visited an out-of-hours medical centre for medication.

But as she awaited the results of a routine urine test, a doctor asker her 'how far into your pregnancy are you?'

She said she wasn't pregnant, but was sent to the University Hospital of North Durham for a scan. Just after 6pm i was seeing a doctor and by 7.30pm i was at the maternity ward having a scan.

'If they'd said i was four months pregnant i could have got my head around that but they said 'it's good news, there's a baby there and you're 8cm dilated.' Whatever that means.

'I couldn't believe it. My body went into shock and i started throwing up. I had periods throughout the pregnancy and in February was sick a couple of times SO DID A PREGNANCY TEST AND it came back negative. There were just no further symptons.

Lucy was born weighing 7lb 7ozs with very dry, cracked skin.

Midwives told Kayleigh when they'd delivered her placenta it has stopped working.

Kayleigh said: 'They didn't know what Lucy had been surviving on and thought she was up to five weeks overdue. Now thats a miracle.

According to the midwives, "Lucy was back-to-back and they think tucked behind my pelvis which is why i was getting the back ache". My God.

Six months on, Luch has been diagnosed with severe Brachycephaly and Plagiocephaly, commonly known as Flat Head Syndrome (FHS), causing her head to misshapen.

While a baby's sleeping position is the main cause of mild FHS other causes include factors in the womb such as a lack of amniotic fluid and the position of the baby.

Lucy is soon to have a cranial helmet which will re-shape her head.

Culled from Mailonline.

So you see, it is possible.

BOYS WILL BE BOYS, BUT WHAT WERE THEY THINKING

SO WRONG BUT SIMPLY HILARIOUS PHOTO -BOOBS

These kids are growing up to be real men. Men are often asked whether they are breast, legs or bottom men. But in some cases it is pretty obvious.

This collections of hilarious family photos proves that some boys decide from a very, very, very early age that being breast-obsessed is best, and that they will use any opportunity to grab an eyeful - or, in the cases of some very brazen young chaps, a handful.

Enjoy and have your pick.

And we saved the best for last. The pics below says it all. Watch the position of his RIGHT arm. This guy is a PRO at such tender age. Wow.

LOOKING FOR A JOB

This German career website has some of the weirdest ads ever

The Germany job agency devised an unusual advertisement campaign to encourage people to switch jobs - by depicting humans as doing the works at ATMs and vending machines.

Using the slogan "Life's too short for the wrong job", the posters show what 'really' goes on inside a number of everyday machines from washers to jukeboxes.

Theo Walcott could be heading for the 'exit' door at Arsenal

Omitted from Arsenal's new calender

Arsenal just released their 2013 calender and Theo Walcott wasn't on it, also missing was Bacary Sagna.

This has fueled speculations that, they will both become the next big-name players to leave the club.

Walcott had been on the front cover in each of the previous four calendars, but stalling on a new five-year deal worth £75,000 a week could signal the end to his career in Arsenal. Meanwhile, Sagna enters the final 18 months of his contract and according to Manager Arsene Wenger, the club has started talks with the France full back.

"We are hopeful. He had some big injury issues but with him and (Carl) Jenkinson, you nedd two players and we want to keep them, he said"

Really Wenger, that's a good way to show it.

However, It is the absence of Walcott from the calendar that will cause the biggest stir given his status as one of Arsenal's poster boys.

Those included in the calendar are Thomas Vermaelen, Mikel Arteta, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Olivier Giroud, Lukas Podolski, Wojciech Szczesny, Aaron Ramsey, Andre Santos, Kieran Gibbs, Jack Wilshere, Santi Cazorla and Per Mertesacker.

On their posible way out also are the duo of Andrey Arshavin and Bacary Sagna.

On their way? Andrey Arshavin and Bacary Sagna are two more players that could be heading for the Arsenal exit door

The guy who gamble away £1.4billion jailed for 7 years

UBS fined £30million for 'seriously defective' controls

REMEMBER HIM?

After being educated at the £26,000-a-year Ackworth School in West Yorkshire, Adoboli toyed with becoming a chemical engineer. But he accepted an offer from the University of Nottingham to study a degree in e-commerce and digital business.

After graduating he was lured to UBS with tales of the millions that could be made. Despite his penchant for partying, he did well at the bank and was transferred from the back office to a trading desk in 2006.

He was given a £360,000 package of salary and bonuses, promoted to a crack ‘Delta One’ team within UBS and put in charge of a £30billion trading book.

The banker used his salary to fund the freewheeling lifestyle typical of a brash City trader, holding raucous parties at his £1,000-a-week loft apartment.
But it was there that his ‘naked gambling’ ran out of control. He wiped £2.8billion off the bank’s share price and threatened the jobs of many of his colleagues as the City struggled to recover from the recession.
A police officer who investigated the fraud said Adoboli’s actions were ‘felt in financial centres around the world’.
His losses would have been enough to pay a year’s salary for 70,000 nurses or build six hospitals.
They also dwarf the £827million lost by rogue trader Nick Leeson, who brought down Barings Bank in the early 1990s.
