You want to give the 125cc races a proper go. Close exciting racing, I think you like [as do I], and they they don't come much closer than 125cc MotoGPs. Look out for Bradley Smith, Scott Redding and Danny Webb as well.

Would it not help to post this sort of message after the bloke has actually got his feet under the table, and several games under his belt, before you start to undermine everything. I mean, f*****g pre-mature or what..? What's the motive here..? Saints interest or do you just like to see a thread started with your handle on the top..? I think some people have too much spare time on their hands.

I would have thought you may have worked this one out S-i-P. Primary light source - The Sun; Secondary light source - reflected light from the Sun bouncing from the Earth. The Moon makes excellent light shadows on the Earth when Full, and it's as reflective as a non-reflective thing. The Earth is a very reflective planet. Case closed.

I've been lent Pan's Labyrinth. I don't whether to be happy or sad.

Those were the days.

But what is your opinion..?

Solid, dependable, shrewd manager. Not exactly in the wow league of appointments, but Saints fans can hardly be annoyed by that, with the club in the present position. And he's perfectly capable of taking Saints all the way back to the Premiership, and keeping them there.

If young Piquet wasn't Nelson's son, I suspect he may have gone by now. Still don't think it'll too long though. End of season..?

Will do. I take it MotoGP will be interesting enough to watch this time..?

I love the irony that he never got the idea of poetic justice. Perhaps he's a US citizen. According to Steve Martin, Americans don't do irony.

Ah phooey..!

OK then, so it's fine to have sung a negative song over and over again, season after season, about a team down the road, even though we do not play them and they are in a completely different division, and it gives them a recognition they don't deserve, but it's not OK to be positive about a footballer who has always tried his best and is at the very least respected, and may appreciate the compliment we send him..? Is that what you're saying..?

Let me guess - Led Zeppelin I or II for the next album.

Excellent suggestion, FC.

As of this moment NASA are showing replays. Good stuff too. http://www.nasa.gov/55644main_NASATV_Windows.asx

Watched Bullitt [1968] for the first time in a few years the other night. It starred Steve McQueen and the very cute Jacqueline Bisset. For my money though, it's not quite the film some people make out. I think there is an element of rose coloured specs with Bullitt. The opening title music/credits is so classically cool though, that it makes you want for more. If that has been bettered then I can't remember when. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko3s4j8HD6o And the car chase, that we all know and love, is undeniable.

Not bad, but not as good as the Hitler gets a BMW bike as a replacement sketch.

Had a mini result just the other day. I was asked to test a couple of car radios, for a friend, that they had been given over the website Freecycle. I also have a relative who had been trying to install a new radio for some time, but was unsure of the wiring. I'd also helped in recent weeks to no avail. So we got our thinking caps on and tried again. Didn't work. Very strange, as it should have. We tried my identical model radio. Once again, didn't work. After many tests it appeared we had 2 malfunctioning radios [mine had stopped working anyway, so no surprise there]. The doubt was that they powered up, but wouldn't become operational. We started to question the head units, but something was naggingly wrong. Great, eh..? So I brought along the 2 radios from Freecycle. The first one didn't work, as per usual. Ah well, a confirmation of our findings. Surprise, surprise, the next one did..! Aha... result. So we'd missed something. The first 3 radios used the ISO system of plugs, and the one that worked used an older method, and actually, to this old brain, a slightly easier on the head form of connection. It enabled us to understand the finer points of the wiring we were dealing with. The system had been botched by a previous owner, on the power side, and didn't reveal itself, even after iginition on/off voltage and continuity tests. I found that the installed 4 speaker system had also been wired incorrectly so that left was right, and right was left; back was front, and front was back; plus the speakers were out of phase, and had iffy connections anyway. Frankly, it couldn't have been much worse. Having sorted all that, we went back to the original 3 malfunctioning radios. You have to appreciate that 2 of the units were within their guarantee periods, and so e-mails had gone off to the manufacturer. The upshot was that ALL the radios worked perfectly. So, suddenly we'd gone from 3 piles of junk, and a working radio with no sound, to a glut of fully functioning units. Mini result..! This Freecycle website needs a bit of investigating too.

You have my sympathies. If that counts for anything. http://www.bikersoracle.com/vfr/forum/images/smilies/violin.gif

Ah, that settles it then. I was looking at the NASA page which scheduled it for 11.00pm earlier. Obviously delayed..!

Great sight from my window. Didn't see the Shuttle following behind 8 minutes later though. Must be too small, or the sun must have dipped over the horizon just enough so it didn't show up. The ISS could be seen by the naked eye. I couldn't see the Shuttle whether I had binoculars or not. Ah well, until next time. Ta for the heads up Doggy.

Absolutely..! I'll take the miracles to the Prem' over two seasons.

Don't get too proud. The only reason your title stayed was because it was the original thread. Now back to the subject matter.

Threads merged.

It caught my eye that Captain Andrew Strauss claimed that: England will hopefully come back stronger in the nest Test. Would someone like to point out the losers mentality word in that statement..? With that kind of attitude, Australia are going to have England for breakfast and spit out the bones.
