Who cares?
How about the literally millions of fans of the sport in the run up to the biggest sporting event ever?
ie. lots of people.
Obviously not you, Mudguts.

Yes it is open oo, saw it on the telly last night. As you would think, not as much snow as in a normal year. Makes a big difference getting to Shiga Kogen from Gunma when you can use that road.....pity you can't in winter when you most want to go there!

So now we know why all the "cute" ( )dracula teeth girlies go into singing then!
This is new to me though danz....

The World Cup channel is up and running folks if you care to tune in to Sky channel 140. Last night they had an analysis of Group F, a WC news program and then a recording of the match England vs Paraguay from a week or so ago.
Loads of TV from now on it seems....
-
Apart from the Anfield boys - Mr Owen and Me Gerrard - look out for Joe Cole. Saw him in the Paraguay match last night (recording from a few weeks ago) and he was awesome.

It's really sad. We can only hope that no idiots turn up to fight. And also that the police don't mistake "having a good time" with "being a hooligan / starting a riot".

Gave it a go, NoFakie, thanks for the pointers.

Go find a cheese forum, mate.

Do you reckon there will be "problems" at the World Cup. Really hope not, but.

Still looking through the new guide, but it looks well impressive. 10 channesl, with live international transmissions, special PerfectTV cameras, 2 channesl concentrating on each team (!) etc etc. Very cool.
Could do with a huge widescreen TV now...!
-
I just bought the Perfect TV guide to the Cup today, so I will take a read through - might take a few weeks, it's in Japanese - and post the details!
cheers mates.....
-
...in Tokyo? Can anyone help? I'll buy you one if you can help out..!

Nah, wish I was mate.

Time to stay in and rest.

I saw that too.
Looked like fun. You can never really tell what rollercoasters are like by seeing videos though. Much faster when you're on them.
Did you see that new on at Six Flags Magic Mountain in the US - looked wicked.

I think she's after a fine scally from the 'pool....!

Anyone know how they are going to show the World Cup games.....they are free, thats all I know.

Go boys, too right.
Owen and Gerrard, Cole, Beckham.

Check it out, the Liverpool boys did us good:
A goal for new England captain Michael Owen, strikes from Danny Murphy and Darius Vassell, and an own goal gave England a 4-0 win over Paraguay.
Prolific Liverpool hitman Owen, who at 22 is the youngest player since Bobby Moore to captain his country, had the perfect start to his big day as he opened the scoring at Anfield with an early header, and in a superb display that is sure to boost the optimism of England fans everywhere, Murphy and Vassell found the mark with two second deflected efforts as Paraguay, who were totally outclassed, saw their night of misery complete as Celso Ayala could only head into his own net late on.
Sven Goran Eriksson, who suffered more injury woe this morning due to the withdrawal of Matt Jansen, started with arguably the strongest team he could muster from his depleted squad, as David Seaman started in goal, while Newcastle flyer Kieron Dyer also got the chance to impress, as did Darius Vassell, who took his place up front with Owen.
England started the match at a fantastic pace and tempo, and after a typical pacy run by Vassell which was ended cruelly by some typically uncompromising South American defending, Owen exacted quick revenge by giving his side the lead in the fourth minute with a superb header from eight yards after a fantastic delivery on the right from Steven Gerrard.
The Liverpool combination of Gerrard and Owen were working superbly in tandem, and after another raking long pass from the former, Owen blazed a volley over from 10 yards in the 20th minute, which by his own high standards he might have expected to have scored with. Paraguay were offering little in attack as England continued to dominate, and Dyer had a great chance to remind Eriksson of his capabilities after 35 minutes, but after a lucky rebound, his shot from close range was blocked well by Ricardo Tavarelli
As in the last friendly against Italy, Eriksson rang the changes at half-time as Robbie Fowler, Danny Murphy, Owen Hargreaves, Trevor, Danny Mills and Joe Cole, all were given a chance to impress, and Murphy made an instant impression just two minutes in, as he made it 2-0 with a deflected effort from the edge of the area, and Vassell scored his second international goal in three games with a similar goal in the 55th, as Paraguay now totally dispirited conceded an 77th own goal through Ayala who was under pressure from recently introduced substitute Teddy Sheringham.
At Pittodrie, Bertie Vogts's new-look Scotland crashed to a 2-1 double strike from Julius Aghahowa for Nigeria, despite a seventh-minute opener from Christian Dailly.
The Republic of Ireland overcame a gritty USA at Lansdowne Road, as a sensational Mark Kinsella opener in the sixth minute, and a Gary Doherty header seven minutes from time helped them to victory.
Eddie Pope had headed an equaliser for the USA in the 34th minute.
Northern Ireland were given a torrid time as a classy Spain racked up a 5-0 win Windsor Park thanks to a double from Raul, and single efforts from Carles Puyol, Baraja and Fernando Morientes.

That's probably right. After all, there's 2 planks involved with skiing not just one.
