Really happy to see another central midfielder on Liverpool's books. I can only assume that we're trying to corner the market. Hope we don't run afoul of the Monopolies Commission.

No trial, just a summary execution. Doesn't this run against the principles of democracy?

Bacterial only.

Assimilation ........As a white Australian living in Japan I'm not sure how I should set about that. I read and speak the language but I don't think I'll ever be completely assimilated nor do I think I want to be.
I have the greatest respect for anybody in Australia or elsewhere who is willing to completely assimilate as it means giving up a part of your cultural heritage.

Neville, 36, is well-placed to co-commentate and give his expert opinion on our live HD coverage of the UEFA Champions League, Barclays Premier League, Carling Cup and future international fixtures and he is looking forward to the fresh challenge.
Does this mean he'll be sitting with Jamie Rednapp? -
Cheer up. So far, we're told it's only Iodine 131 with a half life of 8 days. Stick to beer and crisps for the next 40 odd days just to be sure.

So did you manage to watch/download it Veronica?

News of the sale is up on the Liverpool website. It's the Red Socks crew.
Hope they'll be better than the last baseball team owners.....

Have two dachshunds that are purebred but thankfully without any obvious mutations.
It is not unusual to see purebred dogs particularly border collies, german shepherds and dachshunds with deformed hind legs that prevent them from running or walking properly.
Also have seen a few dogs with one clear blue eye and one brown one which seemed a bit strange.
There has been an explosion of dog ownership over the last few years in Japan but with a very limited number of potential breeding pairs some breeders would go the mother/son and father/daughter route simply to keep up with demand.

I can't see any reason why the state should be able to restrict people from harming themselves : which is what drug abuse whether it be alcohol, crack, heroin or solvent, essentially is. If people commit crimes to support or as a result of their drug use then that is a criminal issue. However the drug use itself shouldn't be a crime.
Decriminalization seems to me to be a half arsed response. It satisfies libertarian principles but it doesn't allow the state to tax the sale of drugs. Why not tax drug use and use the proceeds for education and treatment?

Have always liked Keane and think he would fit in well with Torres: but Benitez, control freak that he seems to be, clearly thinks otherwise.
-
According to the Independent Keane is heading back to Tottenham for 15million.
That works out at just over a million per goal scored. Still, I think he has every right to feel he was shafted by Benitez.

Love border collies but not the most practical dog for Japan.
Have two miniature dachshunds which whilst extremely loyal are noisy and have coprophilial tendencies

How about dishonesty - claiming you'd recently had deep vein thrombosis
(economy class syndrome). That might make them more eager to stick you in the exit row seats for free.

Incoming typhoon here. Perhaps after a long flat summer some waves

Trees are great but it'd suck being caught in a slide then ricocheting from one to the next.
Guess that's how a pachinko ball feels.

Shallow snowpacks tend to have greater temperature differences within the snowpack
(temperature gradient) which leads to faceting and more avalanches.

No worries. Hope it all works out.

This is a little old. I had the surgery done about 7 or so years ago.
His mail address was
k-shino@osaka-hsu.ac.jp
and the phone number I was given was

I've never actually met him but he was recommended by an orthopaedic surgeon in Melbourne

For Liverpool a quickish, but not too quick as Carroll will be left floundering, wide player would be nice : Mata, Nasri, Nzogbia perhaps.
