Working on the finish inside my house, my poor trusted SMP GMT on a 'Bond' strap is getting beat up and dirtied down.

Where's DBR?

Happy birthday Admin and Pugwash!

Who are YOU to tell ME I'm not sexist?! ..I meant my *cringe* was sexist. ..Fair points, but I have to admit, I sometimes stumble upon a game on TV and I go "OOOH Football!" Only to go "..awww.. -sigh- WOMEN.." ..usually I have to see 3 or 4 players before I can decide if they are male or female. *cough*Voronin*cough* ..and as an aside.. The first WC I remember, and what really sparked my interest in the game, was Mexico '86. I remember Kinder eggs with those little green and white sombrero-wearing mexican mascots, I still have a few around somewhere. ..my Liverpool-supporting cousins MADE me choose an English team to support the following autumn. I could not choose Liverpool, and I liked the Arsenal jerseys.

I love this one: How to keep someone at a watch forum occupied for a while

Whoa! ..back up! Let's analyze this.. So what you're basically saying is.. ..there are more women than men in this age group.. That in turn would you give you quite good odds for getting laid.. ..interesting..

Oooh.. them be fightin' words! ..I thought they sound Irish, me! Coom do theanga ablaich gun fheum, tha an h-a-mh

I'm going to be a little sexist here.. Women's football *cringe* Because of the lack of other things do watch at sea, I watched most of Norway's games in this last WC. ..I can't help it.. it's the most annoying sport I watch. The pitch looks huge, general skills are mediocre (compared to the best women) and the passing is horrendous.. and one of the best, Marta, Brazil's alleged 'ace', is too hyped for her own good. Some norwegian player said "Marta would dominate the norwegian top league were she allowed to play with the men!" ..fine, Norwegian club football is not all that, but Marta would not stand a chance! The world cup winning Norwegian team used to play training matches against boys U-18 teams. They didn't win all or even MOST of them. That being said.. I don't have any issues with women playing the sport to the best of their abilities.. We can't judge them against men, but don't make it out like it's supposed to entertain me as much or even more than male football.

Beautiful animals! Funny someone should mention one of these today I just got off the phone with a mate trying to find a new home for his Bengal cat. Bengal cats He paid $2800 for it, but is moving to Australia and can't bring it with him, so he's giving it away. I'm looking for a nice cat as I am moving into the new house, and want my little girl to have a pet like I had when I was a kid.

This looks all wrong.. Premier League Supporter Noise Levels

With the low dollar value compared to NOK, I would stretch to $300, no more. ..unless something new and very desirable came up.

Jealousy no doubt. ..I don't think anybody actually thought this was shown in the actual timeline.. And of course they hand-picked them, where would the fun be in showing people answering easy questions correctly? Here's a clip of someone making fun of a few british people, just for you

Yes, congratulations.. I follow baseball at all.. But I found this classic commercial from last time quite amusing.

"what about this one?" "...what?" "United States of America?" "-gasp-"

Did you ever notice how much New Anfield looks like a Gillette Mach 3 Power razor? ..coincidence? ..I think not.

I like to think (and hope) the level of world stupidity is stable. ..the difference being the internet, online TV and general globalization.. dumb people just have more channels in which they can display their stupidity.

..and Brazil are chosen to host the 2014 World Cup! ..not a big surprise, but still. Good for them!

Uriah Rennie (isn't that him?) must be the fastest ref in the game! He ran Solskj

At the risk of insulting our american friends:

THERE! Somebody owes me a fiver..

Well then.. ..glad we cleared that up.. I refer to Kenberg's signature.. And also; in situations like these, I ask myself: 'What would Jesus do?' It's time for a for a fun little anecdote in afore-mentioned Ole Gunnar Solskj

BTW, was that a TAG Heuer Microtimer I saw on Rafael Benitez' arm? One of the very few digital watches I really fancy. Edit: Found this little list online: George Clooney - Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph Maria Sharapova - TAG Heuer Formula 1 sparkling Roger Federer - Rolex Datejust Sven Goran Eriksson - Rolex Daytona (steel) Jose Mourinho - Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore John Terry - Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Rafa Benitez - TAG Heuer Microtimer Steven Gerrard - Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Polaris (Limited Edition) Alex Curran - Rolex Daytona (steel) Peter Crouch - Rolex Daytona (steel) Wayne Rooney - Jacob & Co Phil Mickleson - Rolex Cellini and Submariner 50th Anniversary (Green Bezel) Darren Clarke - Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Kevin Spacey - IWC Da Vinci

I do not know what what would make you detest a footballer like Carlos. I must admit I do not know much about the man outside his footballing abilities, but I have always thought of him as a smiling and fair playing guy. I first took notice of him when he was playing for Inter, and however much you detest him and think him overrated, I regard him as one of the best left backs to play the game since I took interest in it. Roberto Carlos Goals

I don't know if this has been posted yet.. and I frankly don't care.. It's worth watching again and again.
