This may sound like a pretty strange question, but - what do you wear when you go out onto the mountain for skiing/boarding? (Like, under your jacket etc)?

Robin Williams annoys me intensely too.

Do points gotten by trys (tries?) get more respect than kicks??

A couple of months ago, I wore some cut off jeans
.And 2 weeks ago, when I went to Tokyo, I wore a suit
.Once I went to a fancy dress party as a sumo wrestler.
(amazing suit that one). -
Was he ever funny?
People keep on saying how he has gone downhill and shit, but when exactly WAS he funny?
-
Er, ......, where?

We stand on the edge of winter. I think it's time for a song. 1, 2, 3.....

Not at the moment, taking a rest. Apart from some unorganised Japanese study.

I just saw an interview on the tv, this guy arguing that "everybody has smoked dope".
OK, lets see. Have you?

I don't rate Lucas at all either, the recent Star Wars are only popular because of their background. Otherwise, they would have got slated.

Well not where you are anyway, matey
-
Do you wear any? Hardly anyone in Japan seems to, I used to before I came here but have been less and less after standing out a bit.
-
I'm off to Zao this year it is easier to reach for me than the places down in Niigata and Nagano etc.

This is a very important issue, indeed...

Well, actually - no.Quote:if your team was sittin at tha top o` tha table, you woodn`t give a rats iver. just you watch em` win tha premiership, he he he!
You may well be like that, but if "my team" behaved like that I'd be embarrassed about it all and would actually "give a rats iver" (?). -
Is there any meaning to that at all or is it just for show?

I heard HE was a prostitute, and I don't even know him. It was on News Forest the other night.

That second pic of Lauren cracks me up - he looks like he's been drawn in by some manga-guy
Vicious lot.
Come on Arse-nal fans - speak up! I think the whole team should get banned for 3 games.

It seems he's doing really well:
In midweek, footy boffins, as The Sun called them, named Beckham statistically the best footballer in La Liga - and at the Rosaleda last night He cemented that position, completing more passes than anyone else, providing the corner for the opener, scoring an excellent free kick, and sparking the break that led to Guti adding a third as Madrid defeated Malaga 3-1.
Beckham's 100th professional goal came mid-way through the second half. The free kick seemed set up for the monstrous, jamon serrano-like left leg of Roberto Carlos to attempt to maim some innocent victims in the crowd or ruin the reproductive future of five fearful footballers. Instead, Beckham nudged to Luis Figo, who stopped the ball for the England captain to strike home a cleverly disguised version of what Marca called a "perfect banana, made in Beckham". (Well, at least they're no longer opting for the plain odd "sausages, as they say in England".)
The goal suddenly opened up the match. Málaga's Edgar scored a sensational overhead kick to make it 2-1 and Guti made it 3-1 finishing a move that He began with two snappy passes to get out of trouble deep in His own half. Yet, until the last fifteen minutes, it was more bruising than brilliant - and Beckham again demonstrated that, in fact, His more terrestrial qualities could prove just as valuable to the galácticos. Determined not be crushed like the suicidally bland Valladolid, Malaga were aggressive, launching into tackles, desperate to prevent Madrid settling - and that included Becks, the victim of a number of crunching tackles.
Not that He flinched (although He did fly theatrically through the air once) and His battling was vital as Madrid rode the early second half storm. It may not have been glamorous but Madrid traditionally lose games like this (although they never, ever get beaten by Málaga) and Becks has given them the aggression, directness, dead-ball threat and long passing they sorely lacked.
No wonder the press have continued going loopy, with Becks getting another (deserved) Man of the Match award in AS and Marca's Roberto Palomar cooing at his "Crazy Leg, an add-on that seems to have a life of its own beyond the rest of his body".
About the only columnist not joining the kissing queue is TVE commentator and ex-Madrid winger Michel, hopefully still choking on his now traditional "patriotic" tirade against English football, when he complained: "Beckham can't adapt to the Iberian pace, passion, pressure - or greatness." Funnily enough, Míchel's keeping silent these days. And like Aimar in the Calderón, it's a blessed relief.

I don't want to interrupt the bickering
but - I am interested in who are the pros here and who are the advanced skiers and boarders. I'm hoping to hook up with some people this winter - I don't want to be toooo embarrassed 
-
That second site looks fun - cheers
-
Interesting.
So what did they predict? Is prediction for these things getting better?

Hi there
Do you all have a fixed doctor you go to?
I had a bad cold last week and went to the doctor and came out with 4 different powders and pills to take every day. He said it wasn't serious, just a bad cold and sore throat, but it seemed very excessive and I was just wondering if this was the norm and if anyone else had a similar experience.
Not sure whether to trust the guy or not
Happo was sweet today!
