i think for android you can get a post it note widget as well

I still think most of the problem with English (maybe Bristish) football is that alot of your foreign footballers will live a nomadic life looking to play in the italian, spanish, french, german & english leagues to learn & experience the game & different cultures.

Your average British player doesn't wander too far, at the moment the only ones I can think of are Jermaine Pennant in Spain, Darius Vassell in Turkey & Beckham in the USA & Italy. Until we manage to export players we will never challenge on the world stage.

I know conversly if you can attract top talent & attract that talent to a club with a good academy it's can only be a good thing for the up & coming players – alternatively get all the immigrants in to the country we can & get them british passports, seems to work for the Germans – 5 or 6 of their players are naturalised Germans. Even the French in 98 mostly weren't French, the way Desially cheers on the Ghananians you'd've thought he was one of them.

I think the other potentially even more worrying thing is the amount of foreign players in the lower leagues, that really cannot be good for the British game.

Wow, talking about football almost makes me sound like a BNP member! Keep the English league English!

With regards to Brant's reply, anyone who has posted here on a regular basis will surely be familiar with his style (I like his refreshing honesty). I suspect at 9pm he's thinking a little more about his family and relaxing than spending all night on a forum pointing out all the changes and evolutions of his designs that can be easily seen with a little reading and research.

So if you're chilling & relaxing with your family why even bother looking on the internets!?

Got a mate that swears by them. I had a quick blast on his bike but found them draggy on the road sections due to their large profile.

Personally I prefer the Maxxis Crossmark for a rear tyre paired with an advantage up front.

You found this tyre draggier?

Than this one?! What pressure were they at?

I have been told….

140mm & I race on it.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Blood Trails[/url] a horror film with mountain bikes.

Not seen it – it's probably Shabba….

Probably cos we're crap at football…

Apparently Keane were once supported by Rooney on tour.

They were taken with a HTC Desire, using vignette which has a load of post processing options, some good, some not so.

Chile have still _only_ got 10 men on yeah?

no one watching Switzerland Honduras then?!

my tracks does all that.

The first half hour of the 2nd half is the first bit of world cup football I have missed.

I don't regret it one bit!

I saw something similar in a motorway services – someone stoved in the side of a parked car trying to park got very red faced & then drove off.

I took his number down, left a note under the victims car windscreen & left my phone number. Had a call from the owner later that day he was grateful about a year later his insurance company called me up asking me if I could remember details… so I guess they got there eventually!

In 72 years Germany have failed only once to reach the quarter finals

That's not an opinion – that's a fact…

do you think they are doing it deliberately?

goals scored – we've scored 2, they've got 4.

ok then – made it! Just….

So if we can get past Ghana/Germany/Serbia in the last 16.. Then Argentina or Mexico in the quarters. If and that is a big if we make it that far.

Would be absolutely smashing to beat the Germans & the Argentines on the way to the semis… cos we owe them both one (although we did get revenge on Argentina in 2002, so maybe they owe us one now…)

Messi is looking very, very sharp.

I just get bored of everyone slating Superstar in every other thread. Granted, their first batches of pads were shocking and cost me the entry fee for HTN1 where they disintegrated and I had to get my caliper rebuilt = end of race after 1 lap but my experiences of them since have been very good.

If that was my experience with a company's product I would never use that company again.

I might need a HT for towing duties…

Towing? what are you towing?

Better manager than singer, too many fingers in too many pies to keep the job permanently.

Can't believe how many people Brazil are keeping behind the ball…

C'mon on the Ivory Coast….

I'll say one thing for it, it's FANTASTIC car-crash TV…

What's 'car-crash TV' in French?

Le Car Crash?

Brilliant! 1-1….

the most stupid yellow card ever – imagine if he misses a game due to that booking.

typical italians….

As much fun as it was to have New Zealand take the lead – the Italians have been tenacious, a little cynical & over exaggerating certain fouls they don't usually give up & will probably win in the last 10mins.

typical italians….

looks like they are just anodised… it there is surface there & the brakes will stop you, nothing to worry about.

Looks like they got hit with Franck Ribery's & Gary Neville's ugly sticks

There goes Kewell!!

I wonder if many will take them up for racing? Brakes for some time have been seen as a tool to scrub off speed rather than a tool to stop them.

Surely the better the brake the faster you can go?

sorry that frame looks like it comes from Tesco….

Straw clutching time…

We can still qualify, we haven't lost a game, it is still in our own hands. At least we're not the French, just have to hope we avoid Germany in the next round cos they will on current form absolutely humiliate us.

Have you even got a wife? It's for you really isn't it? You can be honest here!

oh it's a world cup thread….

Just kidding – been a bit flat this far – hopefully it should start to sparkle now the games are starting to have some meaning, didn't think the Argies we're that good…

looks like a (an?) high tech lady self pleasuring device

Ashton Court is – also Cannock Chase is near Birmingham & waymarked.
