Kite Runner Just finished reading this. Has anyone read it and seen the movie? Just wondered if the movie did it justice (if you liked the book)?

My son must like texts. He sent me the longest one I've ever received this morning.It was explaining why he didn't do well in an exam and how unlucky he was with the questions. I don't think he could have put it any better if he had phoned me nor could I have understood just how unlucky he was. Texts have their uses. He was very very unlucky. PM for details.

I'm sure UDT meant when England play Croatia Walcott should get the nod.

I'm not what Pearce's logic is. If he's good enough he's old enough surely. How many of the squad are going to play just a bit part during the 90 minutes? Quite a few I'd imagine. Exposing OC to the national team environment would be a good thing even if he didn't play at all. From what previous internationls have written, it takes time to get used to it. So the sooner he starts the sooner he will make an impact. Maybe he is thinking, look what happened to Walcott. He hasn't really progressed as much as expected. Incorrect though to assume that the same thing would apply to OC.

I think Mancini might think that. Tevez is just doing what's best for him. He needs to play if he is to have a worthwhile career after City.

That told you Mick.

Oh. I was wondering what you were sobbing about. As United were already out of the cup I wonder why it took you so long to catch up?

What happened in 2004 then?

I'm just wondering what's replacing the spiral staircase. A trampoline maybe? A fireman's pole. Easy to come down. How do you get up?

Wenger will never be sacked. Wanna bet Mick? Hey.......you still owe me dontya?

So how might a thief have taken your clothes? I'm trying to picture it. Being on the 4th floor the options must be fairly limited.

Read the blog and comments on the BBC website. No one likes what he has done and it seems everyone hopes or expects him to be knocked out pretty quickly. And that British fans of boxing.

Point taken ratty.

I am serious. How many clubs have 'overachieved' with the help of unsustainable borrowing? Rangers for one and maybe Portsmouth too. Fans of other clubs get punished by being at a disadvantage when it comes to competing against the naughty borrowers.

I remember getting the 1st issue of Goal. My mum allowed me to replace my regular order at the newsagents of the Beano for this. The centre spread was usually a picture of a different football squad, all of which went up on my bedroom wall. This story had a sad ending though. I allowed my older brother to cut pictures out of some issues for a scrapbook of our favourite team. When completed he claimed sole rights to the scrapbook. I complained to mummy and he then cut all of 'my pictures' out and gave them back to me. This made a mess of his scrapbook and left me with useless pictures. There's a moral to this story I'm sure. I just haven't worked it out yet.

Have you tried Arsenal?

On a footballing front though, is 10 points not too little a punishment given it's the second time it has happened? I think it should be automatic relegation in the interests of those clubs who try to run their financial affairs properly.

Urbanpixie,from your 2nd post it sounds like it's the people you work with/for you want to get away from. The advice of not leaving your job is good advice in the current economic climate, but it must make you feel like you are trapped. Untrap yourself. Other people may seem to be controlling how you feel about yourself but you have the ability to overcome this. Relax. It's a job. It pays the bills. It's not your life. This may be easy for me to write but you have to try to distance yourself from whatever it is that makes you uncomfortable there. It's not you. It's just a feeling you have and feelings will come and go. They don't own you nor you them. Let them go.

With the Ireland France game probably being played between rounds 3 and 4 it will mean both countries will have test matches for 4 weeks in a row. That's a big ask for Ireland in particular. By the time they get to Twickenham they will either be exhausted or rotating players. Mind you if the French clubs have their way it will be played in June!

Even Evra said Suarez wasn't a racist. He was found guily of making racist comments I believe. There is a difference. If you read the report of the case on the FA website Otta you will probably find yourself as well informed of what happened as you possibly could be. It is a very well structured report. As I said UDT, learn Scottish. It's as clear as day to me what Ferguson said.

I think whoever wins in Cardiff should win it (not today). England will have to improve a lot if they are to win another game I think.

It's perfectly clear. Maybe you don't understand Scottish DDT?
