John Terry axed as the England captain! Fabio Capello gets tough as Wembley box revelations prove final straw for shamed Chelsea star

source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1248823/John-Terry-axed-England-captain-Chelsea-stars-12-minute-showdown-Fabio-Capello--reports.html#ixzz0egas1LRP

So, in case you're not familiar with this story, John Terry (erstwhile captain of the England football team-- who are set to go up against Team USA in the World Cup this summer) has caused quite the ruckus by being caught with his pants down... with a teammates ex.

SHOCK!

The affair with Wayne Bridge's wife/ex-wife/something-or-other went on for months and somewhere along the way, there was even a terminated pregnancy.

Now, John Terry is married with his own little bundle of joy at home. So all of this scandal is just too untoward for the stiff-upper-lip crowd.

The thing is, now that the team's manager has said "You are not fit to be captain," who is England left with? It seems like everyone else on the team has a rap sheet: Rio has a drugs scandal, Roony has a prostitute scandal, Gerrard has the bar fights...

This is screaming to be a fic.

Talk about your hot button issue.

This has probably been talked to death, but it's blizzarding outside, and I'm bored.

Are there any cases where it's okay to pull fics?

Do writers have an obligation to their readers? Once they start posting a story, is it their duty to finish? To post on a consistent basis?

What if a writer starts talking about wanting to publish a real novel? What's your response to that?

RANGER EDIT: PINNING THIS HOT TOPIC TO THE TOP OF THE PAGE

Finally popping my Campfire Cherry... It was long overdue, i held out for the right topic to come along, saving myself for that special day, realising that once it's gone, it's gone forever. Finger's crossed, it's painless!

So, The big 'O'. With the big event only a week away i personally am getting all tingly inside. I'm an Olympic Junkie. How about you?

I grew up during the era of Torvell and Dean thus solidifying my love of Ice Skating. Since then i developed an appreciation of almost all the events and plan to spend all my spare time watching.

So how many of the ADF members are planning on spending copious amounts of time watching the flat screen? Do you have a favourite event? Do you Ski, Speed Skate, Bobsled?  Are you one of the lucky few and attending the games?

I personally have tried Skiing and Ice Skating but that's as adventurous as i got. How about you?

Thanks for viewing!

OK, so I'm a total trivia junkie and movie quotes are always fun.

So, here are some for you. Can you guess what movie they're from?

1) "Did you write those letters?"......"Well, I certainly don't think so."

2) "Honey, I'm home!"

3) "Ain't no way...no way...that you could come from my loins. First thing I'm gonna do when I get home is punch your momma in the mouth."

4) "Sir Robin, Sir Galahad and I will then jump out of the rabbit..."

      "Who's going to jump out of the rabbit?"

       "Sir Robin, Sir Galahad...run away!"

5) "I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast."

     "You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?"

So, what are your fun movie quotes?

I have this bizarre-ass question I've been wanting to ask a man ('cause I need to know for my next chapter), so since it's FFAF...yeah. And if the ladies have questions for guys, post them here.

When men...uh, piss together...what are they thinking about? Just random things, or are you kinda comparing yourself to the other guy, or wondering if he's staring at you, or nothing at all, or what?

*sighs* Research...

I didin't get a chance to put this in the weekly pimp post, so I'm throwing it out there now!  Yaaaay!

If you want something fun and different, check this out:

Operation: L.O.V.E.'s Reovery.  Bella and Edward are spies...fun times.  I suck at summaries, so yea...I've been pre-reading this bad Larry for my buddy dsrubyslippers and it's been a good time!  Check it out, she needs some more readers!  Dor's a first time writer, so she needs all the love she can get!

 I DECLARE A

ssh, it's free for all, I'm allowed.

Reality TV and this Mortal Instruments series.

I KNOW y'all watch reality TV.  So what are you into? 

I'm a big Real Housewives fan - last night was nuts.  Why can't Vicki just relax?  We GET IT you have an office and a job.  And Simon, you're so Capt. Lame, I just can't even comment.  Tamra - I appreciate your hail mary play but eh, guess it didn't work. 

Oh and Alexis and Hubs?  Why does he feel the need to tell us how much everything costs??  "Not bad for $2850 a night!? Geez. 

Ok unto this Mortal Instruments.  I read City of Bones last night and while I plan on reading the next two I need spoilers.  Because I just don't care enough to wait.

So Jace and Clary? Are they really....?  Who does she end up with? 

There was so much world building in the book, my head hurt afterwards. 

: )  

reminder: it's free-for-all friday!

start campfires! discuss what you want! the forest is back up, so let's party like my kids actually don't have the day off today and it ain't raining!

lost is back this week!

then again, no more bones until april.  my life has little meaning now.

i know, baby.  i know.

I don't know about you, but I LOVE THE SNOW!

that's outside my back door

I love colder, crappier weather.  It's the perfect time to curl up with a good book, a good fic, a good movie... a good MAN ;)

Much of the NE US is getting hit with a storm this weekend. 

What do you do when you're snowed in??

My hubz will be gone all weekend for his national guard drill, so I'm on my own.

I've got a stack of books to read and I plan on doing some WRITING this weekend.

I'm also gonna go out to TRADER JOE'S and stock up on snacks and WINE (lots of drunk tweeting later, i'm sure!)

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS???

what books are you reading?

what FICS are owning you now?

what movies are good to rent?

...tell me :)

*ranger approved, ty jandco!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5693196/1/The_Boy_Who_Blocked_His_Own_Shot

Newish Fic- Only a few chapters in, but I feel it has great potential to become a popular favorite. 

Third Person POV which I Love.  I cannot tell you much about the story itself.  Edward and Bella were childhood friends who drifted apart when they were tenish and are thrown together again now that they are 15.  It has me hooked so far.  I want to encourage you to read it because it is her first fic and she only has a few reviews.  What I also like is that so far they seem to be very normal people..personality wise...we will see what it has to offer. I think it will have some unusual element to it, but I am not sure...

Have no fear............as far as first fics go....This one is well-written and organized.

Happy Friday everyone...I am going to Miami.

Our fabulous VIP authors keep adding new fics and updating!

I just finished writing and now I am going to read the new Hydraulic Level 5 update.

Then I may go to Gondolier's cabin. I may also start a NEW fic here at ADF. I surely haven't read all of them. 

What have you read in the forest, lately?? Do you visit anyone's cabins?? If not, tell us why?

Have you seeen greeen goldfish's spaceship??

also, what do YOU do when the ADF experiences a minor Forest Fire and goes down?? I finally finished my chapter. GO ME!
