+1. Always hated Sarah Cox, and 'Grimmy' is just a male version of her. Northern and unfunny. But, as I'm 25, I'm no longer part of the target audience. That's another thought - I'm 'too old' for Radio 1, I feel I'm too young for Radio 2 (never liked Wogan, and I can't stand Chris Evans), and I hate adverts on radio shows. I think there's a gap in the market.

Where abouts? We were set to head up to North Wales for a windfarm project, but it all went quiet. There's talk of it being back on in Jan 2013. Pain in the arse being on the road all the time but sometimes it's necessary for continued employment.

Gone in 60 seconds is on in a few mins. A film I liked a lot a few years ago.

Love it. How does that feel you s****s? They do seem to have gone quiet.

I'm an electrician and working at Fawley refinery. I don't mind it, but don't 'love my job' (does anyone?). Currently trying to think of a decent way of doubling my salary without having to work 60+ hours a week. Pay is decent enough but I'd like to be well off rather than just 'comfortable'. I think I probably need to specialise in something then go out on my own. Would quite like to move abroad at some point to live/work/travel as well so that might be a good way to do it.

Nah, I'm 25 so not sure if I'd qualify, and I was never a student so didn't ever really have much reason to use a lot of public transport.

Cheers. Looked through all that, the tickets are cheap on the saturday but the singles back to Euston are expensive and it costs about £30 return to go from Southampton to Euston. Robbing b*stards. £332 to get four of us to Manchester and back. Looks like we could be drawing straws for who's driving home on the sunday, or stay till Monday.

Anyone know where to look for cheap deals on the trains? We're going up saturday morning and back on the 7.36pm Sunday evening, but the cheapest train ticket I can find is £83. There are 4 of us going so it'll be much cheaper if one of us drives, but with the game being moved to the sunday, it would be a sober away day for one of us, which is a bag of sh*t.

Sky Sports infobar is saying that Vitesse have confirmed we've bid £3m. Doesn't go into any other detail.

Some people can get away with eating what they want. Most can't. If someone enjoys crisps and isn't fat, fair enough. Crisps never bothered me much, rather eat fruit. I eat properly and go to the gym regularly, and it's still not easy to keep weight off. I guess that's the main reason. As for the 100 calories a bag arguement, as has been mentioned, what a load of sh*t. They're still all salt and saturates, with no nutritional value. Same as McDonalds. Why someone would go out of their way to eat that sh*t is beyond me. It doesn't even taste good.

Would you want to get into a swimming pool that you know someone's just p*ssed in? Same applies here IMO.

We've booked Ibiza for the closing parties in September. Flights are £150 from Bournemouth and the hotel we stay at will be about £90 each. Basic but it has air con and does the job. Problem with Ibiza is the price of getting into the clubs. We go there for the music, and you'll usually pay €30-50 to get in anywhere that's worth going to on any particular night. It's expensive, but comfortably worth it. Much rather shell out the extra few hunderd quid and go to Ibiza than go somewhere sh*t like Kavos, Malia, Faliraki or Magaluf where you're surrounded by wasted 18 year olds, the smell of sewage, and chart-dance pop music clubs. We've found that festivals abroad are really good value for money when getting away for a good time. A week at Exit festival in Serbia cost me £500 door to door, including flights via Munich, and we went to Pag in Croatia which is cheap as chips and a real up and coming lads holiday destination.

Ouch. The last time I went was 2010, and I spent about £1200 on the week. And that was with flights and accom for only £250 and trying to do most of the drinking on the cheap where possible. Good luck with that!

Ibiza is less likely to be affordable to school leavers/teenagers. Which means there are far fewer cases of people passed out in the street caked in their own vomit and pigeon kebabs. Also, Ibiza smells less like a toilet.

Run like f*ck

Sounds obvious, but careful with possessions on the overnight/long journeys when you sleep. When we went to Serbia, some friends of ours got the train down from Budapest and had a couple of bags pinched. Been to Prague - avoid the tourist areas when going on the p*ss. The price difference is huge. You'll pay about £7 for a beer in the main squares, and as little as £1.80-£2 in the less obvious places. We had a top weekend in Prague for a stag do, it's only a small place so you can see all the sights in a day, and Hot Peppers is the best strip club I've been to. Croatia is Beautiful, never been to Zagreb, but if you get the chance to travel around the country for a bit, head to the coast. The island of Pag is great for partying, and Split is a city worth visiting.

A few of the not so obvious ones. Burnley - 2-3 Beautiful sunshine and sat on that cricket pavilion getting rat-arsed on cheap beer. Skacel scored a screamer. Norwich - 0-1 Was a must win to hold onto the chance of getting in the playoffs. Again, beautiful sunny day, great atmosphere at the Compleat Angler an in the ground. Leon Best in the first half IIRC QPR - 0-3 Big **** up, brace from BWP. Leyton Orient 2-2 Pub crawled our way across London, found ourselves 2-0 down despite Orient only getting in our half twice and having 1 shot on target. Brilliant comeback. Sheffield Wed 0-1 Lee Barnard with a decent finish. Just remember saints fan being awesome that day, and a good win after the slow start to the season. Reading 1-1 Despite Reading being a sh*t away game, we had a really good **** up, and a mental goal celebration when De Ridder banged in the equaliser. Millwall 2-3 Doesn't need explaining. Plus we had £25 on a Lambert hat trick at 25/1

No thanks. Bullsh*t anyway.

Don't be so ridiculous

I thought Carroll was sh*t. Yes, he won a few headers, as he should at his height. However, I don't remember a single one finding a team mate. Plus he should be automatically omitted from the squad for having such a sh*t, greasy hair do.

I'm just glad that the next fixture I give a sh*t about is Manchester City vs Southampton. Lovely.

**** England. Pile of useless bottling ****s

I'd really struggle for ideas to do a weekly shop without meat. Went yesterday, bought chicken, mince, beef steaks, and some fish. Just about every meal we have contains meat of some sort. My girlfriend recently said about buying quorn, safe to say that was ignored.

England will make hard work of this, but get through. France will win comfortably. England will play Spain in the quarters. IMO.
