It must be mad growing up in Switzerland with the regional languages. Do lots of them speak many languages?

Do you have any insights as to why this is le spud? You'd think they might be a happy welcoming people with their lovely environment and those touristy people giving them tons of cash.

NisekoPancakes? What an intriguing name. Congratulations. There seem to be a lot of pregnant people around these days.

Quite a few of us will be spending some time in airports over the next few weeks it seems. I was wondering what people do with their few hours or so at an airport? Read, look at shops, play games? I often try reading but always end up just seeming to waste my time but do nothing in the process.

I get a feeling a fair few will like it less.....

My dad is cleverer than your dad. Moment of madness.

That ref is the ref for the final as well....

Quote: I did for a while until that NHK producer got busted for hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of unjustified "business trips" a few months back. Do you take the same view with all large companies? You might end up just drinking water.

Ronaldo also has a website going (under the name ihateronaldo dot you know what). Some people hey.

Quote: David Beckham has decided to step down as England captain after holding the role for six years. Hurrah! Quote: But the Real Madrid star does want to continue his international career. Shame.

I have only taken a very brief look through online headlines, but they seem uncharacteristically (?) not too critical. It might have been a better performance from England than before, and Portugal didn't do much positive either, but it was still just not good enough. Owen Hargreaves. Who'd have thought hey? Best player on the pitch. And, where did Joe Cole go? Haven't seen a replay of the red card as well but if it is true that Ronaldo was waving 'a card' in front of the ref, and then winked at the bench as if to say "job done" - when it's his TEAM-MATE (at ManYoo) - then that i

He can come to Chelsea and join our 2nd team.

Hurrah! Will it get drunk to celebrate, or has it grown out of that?

Even if the England game is on at 4am (??) I will get up and watch it. There's just something about watching totally live that is worth it. The other games I'd like to watch live as well but my body might complain so they can be in the morning.

I spoke to a few people about this once as I totally agree with you. They seemed to be implying that people were proud of the huge structures - that it showed that they were living in a modern world and progress. (I decided to change the subject)

Nice picture

He got lots of long balls last night kicked in his general direction. Perhaps the other players thought he was Crouch. Robinson also played that curious game of "lets kick the ball to the other goalie".

I went to bed at half time I wasn't going to give up my sleep for that bollocks. That first half probably really was the most boring of the tourny so far. I almost want Portugal to give us a good trouncing*. (* Well, not really)

They just talked about the Czechs. I'm sure they said they were FIFA Ranking 2. If that is true - er, WHY??

There are so many flavours of Pringles now. It's terrible, I just have to try them all out.

I'm watching that too Bushpig. The problem is, the same guy - Okada - was (I'm pretty sure) talking up Japans chances big time and contributing to all the unrealistic shit up front before the games. He's just sobered up now and changed his tune.

I bet they were impressed. I force myself, no matter what, to drink pints of water. It really does work.

Not many headline games in that first week I see. Apart from Chelsea winning once more, I think United & liverpool will be 2nd and 3rd. A big ??? this season will be where Arsenal will be. Hopefully a long long way off.

Let's safe ski!

I haven't seen that much of him but he seems like a decent player. Nothing to get too excited about and a big mouth but not bad. Bet you're glad Owen isn't a Liverpool player now hey?
