What the hell were they thinking? Serbia must be punished.

As an alternative, the final of the 'Great British Bake Off' is on tonight instead. Oh joy.

Taking the precident of the France v Ireland 6 nations game this year, was their any recompense for the travelling Irish hoarde?

Or at least get them to compensate the travelling fans.

It seems that we forgot our water wings.

Ah no, really liked that little shop, such a pity.

While I know they may apeal to the mental age of some on here, i'll pass, thankyou. Many thanks for the suggestions so far guys and bearsy, consider the idea stolen.

Surely this would be a little extreme, even for his tastes!

Come on, you can't just leave it at that.

Throwing this out there as i'm sure someone may have a clue about these things. I've had an idea for a childrens book series (Estimated age range 2-4), i've come up with a kind of 'Idea bible' type summary for it and have drafts of a few stories that could be part of it. How would you pitch these ideas to publishers? Where would you start?

Yes, had a few try it with me by breaking when pulling out onto empty roundabouts. Luckily my reactions/awareness were too good for them. And it's always a particular ethnic group, not casting any further aspertions, it's purely an observation.

'Appy's one step closer to leaving. Solskjaer has ruled himself out of the Bolton job.

You may laugh But I had terrible problems with feeling ill after eating first thing in the morning (within 1-2 hours of waking up.)

You have to love the Gurkhas. Incidentally, the Gurkha Chef in Winchester.

Well, do you normally have issues with eating breakfast? I am not in the habit of having a large breakfast but have tried to get into the habit of at least having a piece of wholemeal toast and orange juice first thing in the morning. (7-8am ish.) I always have a banana 1-2 hours before running, it really does make a difference to me. Make sure there is something high energy and easy to digest before running, that will carry you through. Over 5k (3ish miles) you should be fine.

That would explain why the jump was a little quicker then expected!!

It's a good point though, how do you steady yourself when there's minimal air to offer resistance? It looked really bad for a bit.

Dangling your legs at 128,100 ft. Nuts. But to see that view......

Please don't go 'splat' Mr Baumgartner.

Was wondering when this was going to happen. Crazy crazy sod.

Well compared to the 1hr 38 minutes 54 seconds I managed for 10 miles this lunchtime that's pretty good. Was delighted that I don't feel too bad after, no blisters to talk about just a tight left calf muscle. Two weeks to go and no beer/crap food until the sunday evening after. I've decided to write off the Spurs game, my friend who is also doing the run is insisting on driving, we have no chance of showering/escaping/getting to St Mary's within two and a bit hours.... but he still wants to try... may insist he drop me off at Southampton Airport Parkway while he dashes there, get public transport home! Apparently the numbers/timing chips have been posted out, this is becoming a little nerve wracking.

Well, in Birmingham you will find that they tick at least one of those boxes....

The worst thing about it was how easy we made it for San Marino. One dimensional attempts to pass through their congested penalty box over, and over, and over again. There was one moment where we had Wellbeck in possession (I think....) who had Rooney and another two players trying to find space in a two meter square area in the penalty box also populated by about five/six San Marino defenders. Had he bothered to drop his shoulder he would have seen two left sided players in acres of space trying to spread the defenders and create space, but no. We played directly into the joint worst side in international football's hands.... time. and. time. and time. again!!!

I did a few days ago..... I think..... Yes I did.
