Torres top scorer : )

Er, weird couple of posts. Where's all the delusion Granc - actually alot of people on this thread saying precisely that it is a bit dull and surburban for a 20 something...did you raed any of it or just pile in? And as for Jimmy, I can only see one bit of venom on this thread...step forward, take a bow.

Anyone catch him back in day upstairs in the East Dulwich Tavern (Not EDT!)? Remember thinking that man will be a star - best I saw there.

...any suggestions?

..which takes me back to my commonly accepted etc ; )

Italy ; ). Laid off a bit before Germany game and will now guarantee a tournament profit with a hedging bet on Spain to win (tournament not game). A profit overall with my laid no hatrick bet still out there as a bit of fun - thought I might get that last night!

Will Young, never heard an interview with him that he dosesn't come over as spikey and chippy...maybe he's uncomfortable in the spotlight but jeeeez Ricky Gervais....foook me that bloke's insecure (although I'm a huge fan). Come on everyone, chance for us no marks to have a pop at those more talented, rich and famous than us. Fill ya boots.

That prior to 2002 East Dulwich was a slummy bordeline Dickensian rookery packed to the rafters with Ne'r Do Wells and Chavs

A glimmer

Thoroughly enjoying this especially with my pre-tournament bet on Italy. Great game.

The German octopus being a master of dynamic and accurate football prediction....maxxii being a *bit* crap

Fred Perry's....... that's all

Maxii's the English counterpart to that German octopus

...and Today's prediction maxxi?

Two houses on our street bought last year needing work and now done up (including loft conversions) went on the market last weekend both sold already... asking prices approaching 800k. Underground on the way? - don't think that's right bp and certainly hope not, would ruin the area.

...in that case I won't be betting

Very much looking forward to this one - I *quite* fancy Portugal's chances

so Bale HAS signed a new contract with Spuds..I'm amazed but think this is very good news for them...or are they looking to cash out in January KERCHING

Clanger activity

Have the smiley's gone again?

Maybe this summer. Personally as someone who was really pessimistic back in late 2007, I'm feeling as bad now. A very possible scenario I think MOST western European countries are going to have some sort of debt crisis or default. I include the UK us in this - yeatesrday's news that PSBR had gone up despite the cuts just showed how over stretched governemnt spending is and the tories have completley lost their nerve on meningful reductions or tax rises as far as I can see (how many u-turns?). People don't want cuts BECAUSE THEY ARE 'ORRIBLE and are so myopic about the dire situation that western economies and governements are in that they just think that the money tree means we don't have to worry about any of this..just vote it away. Meanwhile global banks exposure to sovreighn debt means that the 2nd credit crunch is already grinding away and has a very big chance of happening anytime soon. As far as I can see, Inflation is the only way out and that'll bring another set of huge problems. Buy gold, head for the hills.

Lawnsand is the secret Mick...mark my words

Er.....and right wing equals racist as a matter of course? Or is that what the liberal book of paint by number politics has under its definition?

How's the lawn this year Mick? Did you aeriate it properly?

The state gets too big and knows best and that's what you get MrB
