Thanks. Hope it works as Betfair is blocked in Italy.

If there was going to have been a media campaign about this why not previously, and it's certainly not something I'd heard. Mind you, I hadn't heard the term "beard" before either! It still leaves me heartily disliking him for his voting record. If he won't grant me equality and enforced a 3 line whip on the crass section 28 he won't get any support from me.

P*** off Dune!;-) I don't send dodgy pics to dodgy blokes! Mind you, the thought of you having a waxing makes me cackle. You're not my type, I'm afraid. Unfortunately the girls in my footie side are all too young... and if you entered our changing rooms you'd have to make sure the shower was freezing..

Weellll, I'm crackin' on the bones - really! Plus tin whistle, keyless and keyed flutes at a lot lower level. Somewhere I have a bodhran I can't really play anymore but would be OK with a bit of practice. Yeah, and 4/4 is a bit boring: I'd prefer a jig or two meself.

Surely their worry will be that they won't even get what they agreed to, and if they don't they can go back to the courts again?

Thanks for that as I didn't even think to check, will give it a try.

Thanks for the pics, guys. They make me feel a whole lot better! Still no personal pics yet: 'spose I'd have to host them on flikr or summat?

Indeed! He's got a bad record on equality issues. I'm lesbian (but buy me a drink and I'll still flirt with you!) and obviously don't give a monkeys about sexuality but if he were gay I wouldn't be impressed on the hypocrisy or the betrayal of his wife (assuming she wasn't in on it). Why bring up the miscarriages at all: it doesn't prove anything and puts her under unwelcome publicity. Don't like Tebbit but he was right about the lapse of judgement. Today I saw for the first time that photo of him in the park with his aide and again, gay or not, how he appeared was a real lapse of judgement for a politician!

Still another kilo to go (I was lying, it was nearer 3 kilos over), but I seem to have stalled a bit. My argument being that muscle is heavier than fat and I've definitely got no fat on my legs now! PS What's rule 1?

B****y h**l, is it really? That's a well equipped pub team he plays for! I have to admit I'm a kilo over my winter season weight after a summer in the UK but I'm positively sylph like compared with him and he's nearly 20 years younger. Possibly bigger boobs than mine n'all! Still, nothing like 4 evenings training a week to get the weight off.

Incidentally, having a brief look around the Italian web sites it seems that Ighli Vannucchi didn't move to Saints, not through any money disagreements but it seems that Pardew wasn't "convinced".. E infatti – continua Ighli – dal punto di vista economico l’accordo c’era. Era tutto ok, sembrava che la trattativa andasse in porto, poi qualcosa non è andato per il verso giusto. Pare che l’allenatore (Alan Scott Pardew ndr.) non fosse convinto e quindi eccomi qua”.

Yep, I've just finished a mug of tea and about to have another. Footie training tonight, Weds, Thursday AND Friday this week. Not bad for lowish level women's footie eh? It's taken quite seriously here...

Maybe he did and NC didn't want to play at the time?

One of those high powered two-handed pump up water pistols.. great fun it used to be. What I wanted to know was why the cat owners on either side put down slabs or gravel leaving me with as the only mug with a garden with any grass or beds? I actually quite like cats and they like me... but not the neighbours' cats. When they saw me they'd high-tail it at speed!

No Suewhistle (Italy)

Ow, my sides hurt!

You could well be right... sfunny 'coz I always have a lunchtime drink if I'm watching live.... Quiet about my cellar though...not sure whether to keep the bottle of Nyetimber classical method bubbly for the end of the season or my birthday. If I earn enough teaching this year I'll buy another bottle..

Back to square 1...

The problem with Phil 'n Eric is that they give the impression that all expat listeners are on the booze. It must be my puritan upbringing or my inability to stop after I've started but I'm going down the bar for an apperitivo _after_ the game (sod the ginger cake for now). Mind you, I think I'll get changed now so that I can rush off to celebrate as soon as the whistle goes: am I being over-confident??

Ta Eric. Come to think of it it's probably a foehn wind. I'm off to bake a ginger cake to sell at our game tomorrow. My team appear to have no money. Plus every bloody year my football registration has to go to Rome and not just the regional FA to be confirmed otherwise I could have been on the bench. Frankly in comparison with their normal performancethey were like greased lightening for Guly. Still, Saints cheering me up!

I bredict Parnard will score...

It was me typinbg about the weather...

I came in from shopping at 1/4 past and resisted the temptation to go straight to the end of the thread. All I read was a page of 'Fonte scores'... I suppose that'll do me. Bright, sunny but with a strong catabatic or is in anabatic or is it adiabatic with all these mountains? Too late to ask Eric I suppose, on his 4th bottle..

Bloomin 'eck ART, and you're still a Saints supporter. And they say nicotine is addictive!

How do you know that the club didn't pursue this? Is this knowledge or another one of your assumptions? We have heard that we made offers for Antonio but it is patently clear that the club is never prepared to be held to ransom over over-pricing. That may be the issue or it could be that finally Reading wanted to keep him. We don't know! We may have made an offer for Papa; we don't know, but the Italian press reported that he didn't want to come back, possibly because he sees himself playing at a higher level, as all footballers would want to. Finally, sorry for not competing in the late night posting stakes. My first two footie training sessions (the others have been at it for week or so) on subsequent evenings both finishing at 10.30 meant I was shattered.
