OLYMPIC

I was on You Say We Pay on This Morning on ITV it was presented by Collean Nolan and John Leslie before he was outed as a sex pest.

Also shook hands and spoke to Prince Charles,but those are as close to celebrity as i have ever come.

They also have the first instalment of something like £40 million coming up for the football packages they won for next season, don't see any chance of them being able to pay for that.

Also they had approached Sky for a loan if sky added Setanta as standard to their sports package,no suprise Sky told them to do one.

Watched the practice yesterday and Rossi was bang on it right from the start so i think it should be a cracking race,Stoner seemed to have the Ducati running well just find it a shame that Hayden can't get used to it yet i really though his style would work on it.But if Hayden doesn't get to grips with it i think the engineers should look at the design of the bike rather than just swap riders,apart from Stoner there is now a long list of good riders that couldn't make the Ducati work.

Was interesting listening to Eurosports commentary yesterday when they were talking about Toseland it seems he is loosing time on every corner because they can not get him to break the habbit of breaking earlier like he would of done in Superbikes.As you only have to look at Edwards for proof that the bike isn't slow.

I just prefer how the new Blade looks i just think the R1 now looks a bit iffy with the odd colour choice of powder coating on the frame.

Have also ridden and MV F4 and have to say one of the most over rated bikes ever.

Welcome to the clan. Is it just possible we might require our own forum at this rate..? Baj got a lot of advice when he was choosing his machine, and I think it was all pretty helpful. Come back when you need some of your own. Haven't actually photographed mine yet [must get around to that], but it's absolutely stock, and exactly like this one. To be truthful, mine is a tad dirtier. Still another week until I'm allowed to ride it as well. Better get cleaning it I suppose. Ho hum. The frustration is getting to me.

St Andrew did you say you got your bike from J2 Honda in Southampton,if so what are they like to deal with as just looking to change my bike.

Decided it's time to get a new bike with summer arriving and the new Fireblade is top of my list so far.

I would give a Kawasaki KMX125 a look they are a bit older now but prob one of the best learner dirt bikes ever made also can't go wrong with a Yamaha DT125.

Not quite a thriller but still a good race,at least it looks like Lorenzo has put last year behing him and worked out how to stay upright and win races.

Good to see Pedrosa starting to get back to something like the form we know he is capable of and great to see Melandri get the Kawasaki on the podium he is showing he still has everything it takes to be a top rider.

I did have six points on my license two seperate SP30's and i was worried about my motorbike insurance going up, but back then the insurance company said they paid no attention to SP30's as so many people get caught for doing very little wrong.

Of course it could of changed by now.

we've got an 8mb connection at work and the download speeds are prolific. Opening up facebook is really, really slow though. It's since they did their latest pointless appearance change.

 

http://www.speedtest.net/ is the best place to run a speed check.

 

I'd also recommend downloading and running superantispyware which is a free spyware detection program. It also detects other gremlins that may slow your internet down http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html

Have just done the speed test and my connection speed is way down on what i should be receiving,now is there anything i can check or is it just down to my service provider being junk.

For what it's worth i am with Orange and have now found lots of complaints about the speed of connection and the level of drop out that ocours.

To be fair to Coppell, he's done a fantastic job in the 6 years he's been there. They were an average Championship side at best when he took over, and it comes to something when the Reading fans are still whinging even though this season has been their 6th best in their history. What short memories.

 

Rather ironically, they looked nailed on certainties for automatic promotion along with Wolves until we went to the Madejski and played them off the park - they've not really been the same since.

Has to of been the shock of losing to us a team who couldn't win a raffle the rest of the year.

Can't believe how badly wrong it's gone for Hull,from being in the top half and playing some very good football to looking dead certs out of all the teams down at the bottom for relegation.

I think Newcastle will stay up now they have got that much needed win against Boro out the way.

It shows that Ferrari only want to compete if they can spend money that many of the smaller teams can't afford.

£20k! I take it they don't think she's got long left? That'll last less than a year!

Well she is 97 can't go on much longer.

Motorbike key

Padlock key

Security bollard key

Also two front door keys that i have no idea what they fit.

Leon Crouch either had no intention of paying 2m as there is no way Michael Wilde would agree to this. Or he is thicker than Baldrick and believed Wilde would be happy with these strange terms. Just put the money in yourself if you care that much!

I wonder if he thought what a cunning plan it was as he put it to them.

Have to agree with the coments on there it would be good but so far does this group have the money to pull it off.

They're all as bad as each other. Very sad that politicians are more concerned with point scoring than acknowledging when the party in power does things well but truly believing that they could do better overall. I want to see the positives not the negatives of what the other party has done wrong. Labour harp on about when the tories were last in power. How many years ago was that! Most of the people involved have gone and the country has moved on. Less of this and I may have a party to vote for

Completely agree with this no wonder at the various elections there is such a low turn out people have got cheesed off with all the mud slinging.

But seeing the PM's questioin time the other day he looks like a complete lame duck and now the party appears to be fighting amongst themselves,almost a re-run of when the Tories lost power.

This still has to be the best WW2 based tv series ever just got it on dvd to replace my vhs copy.

I hope the second series based around the pacific is just as good.

My pet hate is the ads for the injury lawyers,the one that says we hope you never need us but if you do we are here to help.No your not there to help just make as much money out of your client as possible.

Also they say things like we are real lawyers,well thats ok because i was going to use a made up lawyer.

Use Chrome

I'm going to download the software listed above and give that a go,i see a few of you have mentioned Chrome before is it that much better than the rest i'm using Opera at the moment.

Is there anyway to speed up how quick pages load up on the internet,when i come on here everything is fine but when i go on sites like facebook seems to take an age to load each page.

Also anyway of checking the spead my broadband is running at as i'm sure it's not running at the speed it should.

I don't know what it is about Hamilton but just can't bring myself to like him.At Mclarren Ron Dennis was his mentor so to speak but as soon as anything came along that could damage his public image he started singing a different tune.Like one minute he said he could see himself staying at Mclarren for the rest of his career then he is open to offers from other teams,also the papers said that hid dad was in contact with Bernie Eclestone over the the best way to deal with Dennis and it seems distance themselves from him.

Not a bad race good to see Lorenzo winning now if he can stay on the thing he should be a major contender for the championship.Rossi looked solid today and Stoner did well considering it looked like he had problems early on in the race,shame about the Suzuki's thought they would have a better showing but at least there bike looks better than it has done for seasons.

The one from Wigan looks like the character from the film Mask.

I just saw the FA spokesman on the news and he said that as far as they were concerned Saints had no grounds on which to appeal there decision.

Now if this is the case and we push ahead and appeal anyway could the FA dock us even more points?
