Has anybody experienced the new trend in cold calling - you answer the phone and an obviously Indian sub-continent accent says "Hello my name is Darren / Kevin / Andrew / Cynthia..." ( I've literally just put the phone down on the last one ). Why are they lying, it makes everything else they are likely to say pointless because I don't believe them. We've had at least 10 of these in the last fortnight and I simply cannot accept that the call centres are only employing staff with these names, ( unless of course 25 years ago Mumbai experienced a glut of Anglo-Saxon names being registered ).

Provided that she stays on the bike this time.

I've just tracked down the thread and I think I've managed to fill in the gaps left by the deleted posts -he made a comparison to Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter film.

What did the drama queen do this time ?

Vicky will have to do it the hard way.

Trott puts Hammer down !

Haven't caught me yet ( Mind you, CANATAXX are trying their best to gas me )

Well, when you live in the country you have to fit in.

I've been involved in training Pony Club level show ponies, so I do know little about it, and there's a great deal of patience, frustration, and swearing behind the scenes.

Dressage GOLD

It's as much a sport as horse racing, show jumping, or cross country. The work required to keep 700KGs of wilful muscle floating around like a ballet dancer is tremendous.

Don't forget they need to have sufficient first team players to field a squad of at least 14 for the 14th when their League Cup game is due to be played - failure will attract sanctions in accordance with FL rules.

2/3rds of the way to a dressage gold.

However they knew is moot, they made an informed decision based on information we are not party to - and the team they selected set yet another world record, so they are vindicated.

If kismet is truly bestowed upon the Isle of Portsea on Fiday then we may get most of the way remaining to 100K in one day. Does anybody know what the Olympic record is for posts on an Internet forum in one day ?

But they were injured before the Games started - why are they competing ? The men's hurdler got over 1 hurdle as he's got a damaged ligament, the female javelin thrower effectively made 3 no-throws as she has an elbow injury, and Idowu is hampered by his ego and attitude. ( And I don't accept for a second that swimmers and cyclists put any less strain on their bodies ).

Is that 3 or 4 athletes who have failed in qualifying this morning due to not being fit ? Doesn't seem to happen with the swimmers, sailors, or cyclists.

But why isn't it to a reggae beat ?

Following on from FC's post above, can one of our tolerated pompey fans, ( strangely not a reciprocated arrangement ), detail how much they realistically expect Chinny to put into the club now that the FL have put a bar on him carrying over most of what he claims he is owed. The guy will be expected to write off several £Mill that he has diligently pursued since the Israeli court case, then buy the club for whatever Clever Trevor can snatch from his grubby paws, and after that hand over a 'war chest' to Voldemort and provide top up funding to keep the wreckage afloat. Anybody who thinks that penny one of the PPs is going anywhere but the Virgin Islands is surely going to be disappointed.

Gold in the team show jumping :D:D

The only man not to go under 10 seconds had pulled up injured.

Bit like UKIP and MPs then ?

Are you therefore admitting that you are the 'perfect dull' rightie ?

Just imagine Boris as the public/ political face of Britain on the World stage, representing our interests at the G7 or some other geo-political summit. Frightening.
