  1. For UK stuff, I have found that things sent by normal mail come almost as fast as things that are sent by the fancier more expensive parcel worldwide whats-it's-face.

    Only a matter of a few days difference.

    Then again I don't know if there's some sort of limit to what you can send via the 'normal' way.

    Worth asking if you want someone to send something.

  2. Well, yes I suppose so if you aren't interested in movie channels and all the other stuff....

     

    Just for the record, I pay 4320 yen a month at the moment (footie season!) and that includes the sports channels, Star movie channels and all of the channels that are included in the basic tv pack (loads of drama, bbc, documentaries etc).

     

    Pretty good value I reckon.

  3. Going over old ground here but I reckon it's a mix of Fergie being just an extraordinary manager, leaving behind a team with issues and further issues close to the surface.

    Whoever taking over would have had a huge job to do.

    Moyes was obviously way out of his league and not up to the job.

    The new guy obviously has lots of achievements and seems more suited, and I reckon he'll drag United back to being better.

    Not back to the top this year especially if they don't bring a few more good players in, but definitely start rebuilding.

    It might take a year or two but I don't think they'll be away from the top for long. Sadly!

  4. A man has completed his challenge to push a Brussels sprout up Snowdon using his nose.

     

    Stuart Kettell, from Balsall Common in the West Midlands, started out on Wednesday and reached the 1,085m (3,560ft) summit in three days.

     

    The 49-year-old trained for his charity mission by pushing a sprout around his garden with his nose.

     

    Mr Kettell said he selected a large sprout so it would not fall down a crevice in the rock.

     

    His aim was to collect at least £5,000 in sponsorship for Macmillan Cancer Support, but does not yet know how much he has raised.

     

    "People definitely think I'm mad, and I'm beginning to think it myself," he said.

     

    Mr Kettell, who has previously raised money by staying inside a box for a week, said this latest challenge was the most uncomfortable yet.

     

    "It hurt my arms, my legs, my feet, my knees and my neck," he said.
