I don't have any - I use Mac OS X.

iOS is more like an open prison where you can get out on a JB licence; Symbian is like being on Death Row now that Nokia has passed the death sentence.

So Belle is to Android, what Android is to iOS. I see.

"All we NEED is, Adam Lallana" is better

Converting other formats to .mp4 usually reduces the quality horribly. Install the CineXPlayer and you can watch xvid/avi etc in their original quality, without the boring and quality-reducing conversion process.

Jeff: 1) The handsets you mention really DON'T blow the iPhone 4 out of the water. You can look at components, supposed performance and claims of what they 'can' do all you like, but when it comes down to the actual hands-on experience, apps and the overall package - think again. (and that's all before the imminent iPhone 5 release!) 2) Are you actually aware of the iPhone 4 battery performance?!!

That doesn't make sense. You can get a monthly (no contract) SIM with GiffGaff and spend £10 a month for 250mins, Unlimited text and Unlimited Data. Or add whatever minutes suits you. No Contract and UNLIMITED Data. You only pay £45 a month because you're paying for the handset! I buy my iPhones SIM-Free so I have the option to use whatever is the cheapest/best deal that suits me. I am staying with O2 at the moment - 600Mins, 1200 texts and Unlimited Data (I use 3GB+ per month) for £20: but the unlimited Data isn't available to new contracts. I also get £5/mth off of my O2 Broadband and O2 Moments savings, so I just can't be bothered to switch to GiffGaff, but would if I was a new / non-O2 Broadband customer. As this thread is proving, people who own them love their iPhones and people who have used them love them. It's the people that can't quite afford them that will try to convince you that an HTC or a.n.other Android handset is 'just as good'. Crablungs: iPhone, bought outright, GiffGaff SIM, plop another SIM in whenever you're travelling. That's your best option.

You're looking at 4yrs for incitement not to pay your bills on an Internet forum.

Get down to Staplewood at 9am on training days and you can count is. I could even tell you which players always get a taxi to training, but I won't.

We fly tomorrow, Norm. I still can't believe I'm missing the f***ing Leeds match :-/

No I don't. Those that know me, know my connection; but I'd rather not have it broadcast on here for fear of prying eyes taking umbrage to any info I post. To be fair, 'up and away' may end up being not far away from the truth with the visa theory. What did confuse me on Wednesday was that I was told earlier in the day that Jemal HAD signed. Then, later the same day after his agent had settled the room bill and transport to London City had been arranged, Jemal himself said to me that the transfer had finished and he was going home... his whole attitude and the way he said it made me believe that it had broken down and was over - what he definitely didn't say or hint at was 'yes he'd signed but he's going home while the visa paperwork is sorted.' I didn't post more info at the time, in case there was a chance the transfer talks would be picked up or in case it jeopardised the switch of interest to Gorkss. Having read the comments attributed to him in the Tunisian press, it seemed obvious that 'finished, going home' and the slating of Cortese meant the transfer was dead. To be honest, I don't want to burn my bridges with my connection, so I was going to wait until info had been officially reported; but The Echo is now reporting that we're close to completing the signing of Gorkss, so I figured me saying anything now wouldn't jeopardise things. It could all be a smokescreen whilst the visa hearing is heard, and my original info that he'd signed may turn out to be correct. His demeanour may also have been because he was tired and frustrated at it all: time will tell. I know what I believe though.

I must not have made it clear in my post on Wednesday, but I didn't want to say too much in case it jeopardised any potential ongoing talks with Jemal or Gorkss. Jemal was staying at Chilworth Manor with his agent Mohammed. He had been training with us, was expecting to sign on Tuesday but things broke down and he travelled to London City Airport late on Wednesday afternoon with his agent, for a flight back to Switzerland. They were funny characters (funny strange, not funny haha), they were evasive throughout their stay, lied about their whereabouts: said they were outside waiting for the taxi when they weren't, then said they were praying in the bushes when they weren't, didn't answer their room phone etc. When asked if he he had signed, Jemal said "No, finished, going home." My impression of the pair of them were that they were difficult characters to get on with, had high self-opinions and were totally different to the rest of the squad. If they displayed these characteristics with Nicola then I would not be surprised if he tired of them and wouldn't have them calling all of the shots. If that's how things broke down, then I'm fully supportive of Cortese. Also, Jemal has one of those silly little wispy moustaches which have no place at this football club.

He flew home from London City Airport yesterday and said about the transfer "finished... going home".

This.

The connectivity is already brilliant. I have an Apple TV connected to my TV. With AirPlay I can stream content (music, video, photos etc) from my iPhone or iPad, watch YouTube, Flickr, and more. I have Jailbroken it to have a net browser, stream content from any machine or hard drive on my network and other little tweaks. iOS 5 will soon be released to allow full mirroring of iPhone/iPod/ iPad onto the tv screen to display whatever you're looking at onto your tv to see on the big screen or show others etc. In addition to all the freebie stuff, I also rent movies from the AppleTV fairly regularly. Apple are clearly going to move into producing TV sets with this technology built in and they'll be killer devices in terms of form and function with the infrastructure Apple has in place with iTunes, App Store, Cloud Storage, AirPlay etc. Bexy won't buy one though, as he's happy with his 14" Goldstar portable TV. Are you bexy on another username login? And for those who might ever want to connect to a wifi hotspot at McDonalds, here are the instructions for a PC and a Mac

You surmised that because Apple have a massive cash reserve, their products are a rip off. This is the thought process of a simpleton or retard. I was replying in a similar vein. What I did not factor into my reply, was the possibility that you actually are retarded. As others have stated, Apple products, by and large, tend to be of far better build quality, longer lasting, aesthetically pleasing and revolutionary, so people are prepared to pay for that quality. Want a car: buy a Daewoo, not one of those rip off Mercedes that will last thirty years longer Those Apple cash reserves haven't been derived from a few thousand people paying extortionate prices for a couple of devices. They come from 300,000,000+ iPod sales (nothing else comes close), 25,000,000 iPad sales (currently outselling Android tablets 24:1) etc. Apple's buying power is immense. The time is fast approaching when they will be selling ultra-thin laptops with SSD drives at prices that the competition cannot get near. I'd like you to come back in a couple of years time and tell us all how you're paying more for inferior products because of your anti-Apple stance. You've stated that you will never buy an Apple product. In the face of overwhelming evidence that their devices are some of the best consumer technology devices available, that is an incredibly immature, blinkered and, dare I say 'retarded' standpoint.

Uh oh. Flash. #Fail

Proof if any were needed that Bexy is a retard.

Porridge and regular coffee. Occasionally, if I'm feeling decadent, I'll opt for a toasted bagel with Philadelphia. The rest of their breakfast menu is unhealthy sh1t for fat cvnts.

Having "fu***ing" twice in two lines is poor construction. Ooooooh Steve de Ridder, He’s our winger, he’s f*cking class He puts mayo on his chips, but he can still run bloody fast, And when he gets the ball he’ll put your left back on his arse Ooooooh Steve de Ridder....

Brilliant tune, this would work. I love the Balotelli one, but fear The Northam will struggle with words rather than do do dos. This Hang The DJ tune is original too. Like.

I hope Arsenal hurry up and buy AOC, before they clap eyes on Steve and switch their attention to him.

Yes.

To the tune of Joe Dolce's 'Shaddupa Your Face' once AOC is sold: - Who needs Alex Ox-lade, we've got De Ridder, Whatta you think you do, why you looka so sad, He's got nicer hair, he's got much more pace, and just look at his face.
