How does Olympic triatholon rate in comparison to Iron Man events. In Oz, we get Iron Man all the time and I haven't heard of these Yorkie Brownlees.

I remember the 'full on' Olympics in 2000 AD -steroids, prosthetics, the lot - this really is the beginning of that. Have you read 'Machine Man'? - it's a pretty funny novel about a man who develops super efficient prosthetics and then starts having 'accidents' in the lab so that he becomes the recipient of the prosthetic. Such an approach would not be beyond the less morally constrained nations of the world, and other nations would follow. There's not a massive difference between super high tech trainers and the prosthetics - consider the banning of the full body suits in swimming. It's illogical to ban these and not artificial legs. IMO

Did the fact you had beeen working help you get your next job?

From an Oz perspective, we're being treated to archery. What the F are they using to fire the arrows, not something the guys at Agincourt would recognise! I have fallen in love with the Dutch heptathelete. But only coz she is pretty, I am not getting off on the bodies of the skinny female atheletes - not even the beach volley ballers. Need a bit more meat, if you ask me.

taters said we'd got gold when Ingrid knocked the first one off. Another sport I don't understand. Like Basketball.

Mash Tun has sadly gone, as I understand. The Willow, though poshed up, has (had?) the best garden for the summer evenings. Cricketers likewise. Bringing a tear to my eye of many nights out 25-20 years ago (sniff).

There is a stream request thread on the overseas Saints page. I don't think C5 are streaming it (although I know they are broadcasting it). So, any streams you're aware of?

As far as I can tell from their website C5 wont be streaming it, so Expat Shield isn't relevant. I'll ask on the buildup thread

And when I came out there was Guly standing at the bus stop. Yeah, and guess who was with him - that's right, Gordon! And they were both laughing at me!

yes, it has

Good tackle, got up the channels well.

Vanilla fudge?

If I was NC, I would have made sure the un-eatenmeals went to the staff or some tramps, failing that, Pompey triallists.

I've been re-reading the whole blog from when it first started (though skipping the cup games). I'm in 2010, and incredibly excited about the 4-1 win over Hudders. The tension is killing me and I want to find out more. The match reports definitely work as a 'book' kind of thing, because they link up. It reminds me of the equally excellent writing on When Saturday Comes - almost a shame that you do it for free!

without being gay, I can see why he was a model - wish I had those looks! Any more info on his life story?

Thanks for your replies. For colehillsaint, iTunes doesn't like it when the ipod touch is locked, and yes it is a pretty good camera and video thing. I think we're going to lose all the photos she took, mindly most of them are stupid, teenage gurning in shops, so not the end of the world - but there are some photos and videos we'd like to save, but not going to be able to. Thanks for all your help!

Thanks for replying - it was never synched, so whilst we should be able to get the itunes purchases, we cant get the photos - unless somone can tell me different?

Andy's on the bus: (fromBBC) "I've learnt from kind of being around him [Lendl], never get too high, never get too down.."

Hi, my ditzy daughter changed the passcode on her ipod touch and neeedless to say forgot what it was. From trawling the interweb, it looks pretty impossible to get the ipods data back, seeing as we hadn't synched it with a pc. The only option seems to be to 'restore' the device which means wiping the photos and stuff she had on there. BTW, couldn't find any threads on here about this. Does anyone know of a way of getting this stuff back? There's a million similar questions on t'internet, but I thought I'd get a better response from a bunch of Saints fans! I figure that if it was evidence in a crime or something, a police teechnician would have it cracked in a few seconds, so any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Shame he left the Youporn link there...

Well, I voted for you. I do like your blog posts. I was trying to figure out what Ánything Palmeiras' was all about - hope I didn't vote for them by accident. Seems they are leading by a long way now.. :-(

Nice work, as always - a great read. Is your blog measured on numbers of visits, rather than comments? I hope so, coz you don't seem to get much feedback here or on your blogsite. Next season, expect a few less visits as we only want to read about games we win!

No, I am not going to comment on grammar and spelling exhibited by students on this thread.

Nice one, bud! That age gap is going to be interesting, as my 10 and 13 year old are continually making the 2.5 year old do things he shouldn't do!

And black peas - in a styrofoam cup with vinegar, with a spud. Eh, it almost makes me want to go back! But not really. Maybe it's just 'Bury Rangers' as in put them in the ground?
