Are they your own CDs loaded onto Itunes or tracks purchased from itunes. If it's the latter I'm not sure that you can just copy and shift them I think you have to do something with your Itunes account ie shift it to another machine.

They changed it during WW1 to something more 'english' as a result of anti-German feeling in the country

:) You keep making those big catch up bets...gonna end in tears Anyway, downloaded Betfair's Eurofinals App - fantastic (although going to encourage many bets methinks). Layed Spain (against Italy) Gone for draw Portugal Vs Germany Bet on Russia to beat Czech republic All low fun bets.

No shit!!!!!* *sarcastic Given that the Hanovers came over in the late 1700s I expect that's a stronger 'english' heritage than most people who would think they were 100% English...

Genuinely getting excited about this now, normally a better standard tournament than the WC without dragging on for so long. Will keep an eye on Poland Greece but my first match to sit and watch will be Russia Vs the Czech Republic - a russian win methinks. Both of Saturday's games look good too - Dutch Vs Denmark and Germans v Portugal. Dutch win and Draw.

So you are seriously SERIOUSLY grouping a bunch of European technocrats, some bankers and a few pretty average European politicians of the late 1990s with Caxton, Eddison, Fleming et al? Mmmm, that explains a great deal. It was a dumb idea for the times, poorly executed by idiots not the european elite.

It's IKEA, therefore in general it will be cheap but crap. MFI for yuppies as we used to say in the old days

...Englishness? I quite happily say I'm English rather than British, thought that this was interesting by Ed M.

and.......... up he pops

The 'people' left to their own devices would have very little were it not for the vital contribution of small groups of visionary individuals that gave them clean water, supermarkets, a roof over their heads and a job to go to every day. I think you forgot 'trains that ran on time'... Elitist claptrap, I have far more faith in people than you do

I'm pretty nuetral on it all but to be honest I'm mainly glad it's all over so we can escape the rather posed and tedious 'republican' moaning of the last few days

Great teams are always linked with economic failure. - Cruyffs Holland?

Spain totters and the only way out of it is for the countries in the Eurozone to take huge decisions very quickly, and without a political/democratic mandate. Decisions which they should have taken in the beginning of the Euro* and which they seem unwilling to make now and even IF they do will have Massive repercussions politically. What a foooking mess. *decisons which would have almost certainly been rejecrted by the Euro Countries voters at that time - pesky democracy getting in the way of grand visions of people who think they know better - so they fudged it and now the chickens are coming home. A disaster.

To be clear - of course it was disgusting what happened with the Job Seekers - although I heard one guy on the news saying he found the experience extremley valuabel,obvioulsy angling for a job and I'd employ him tomorrow - but some tory conspiracy to provide their chums with free labour or a cockup...mmm, I know what I think By the way now Harrii's gone I've only got Tonybee. And to SJ - blimey, I thought I'd clearly made the point that politicians shouldn't be harrassed at home, and even unprompted tea parties by very nice, humourous, middle class people is that as was the action by the hunters etc. I seem to remember the Hunters getting pretty thoroughly condemned although their action was more unpleasant.

if you want to see the world truly going to hell in a hand cart visit go to Greece...that's where continually spending money you don't have gets you. In the maentime just the 10% we've cut off our annual budget defeceit has everyone squealing (but especially middle class, er, lefties) and the polls marginally rejecting it (see also France), if we don't get this sorted really unplasant as it is going to be, then there is a car crash further down the road for us all to some degree, but especially the weak and the poor and the underprivileged. My rejection of them (uncut etc) is based entirely on their economic luddism and let's be honest they're, in the main, all pretty middleclass too. I'm taking an entirely non-emotional marxist perspective on this, it's just economics. the rich aren't the answer btw. There's only a few million upper rate tax payers (most of all are hardly rich and I'm guessing a significant proportion of posters on here) and, even I was surprised, just a handful 200 or so earn more than ?10 million. There aren't enough 'rich' to tax this away anf good luck to any party raising the basic rate of tax to say 40% to deall with the defeceit by taxation solely. The budget defeceit is massive, our liabilities are grwing long term (pensions and healhtcare to an ageing population) and we need to deal with it. Uncut etc can carry on putting hands over their ears and screaming as much as they like but we have austerity now or calamity in the future.

Furthermore the realism has ruined the betting opportunity that laying England has offered for many a year. At 5s this is nearly free money at 14s+ it gets a bit hairier :'(

And do you support that? Infact, argubly what Blair was doing WAS illegal whereas all Clegg has done is be deputy PM of a govermenemt implementing some policies which many people in the country actually agree with. The 6th form rantings of uncut and the middleclass tossers camped outside StPauls are a bunch of quasi-lefties having a wet dream because its like the 80s again as far as I'm concerned, nothing to do with actually trying to get our country in a stronger position to deal with problems like inequality of opportunity and poverty. So many people on the left just absolutely refuse to acknoledge that so there are many people who don't shrae their ideas of solving these but do care just as much. Adolescent, unthinking tribalism in my book.

It's the precedent of inavding people's privacy because you don't agree with them. It's pretty strightforward - yes you hate 'them' but it's still not right. Where were they when Tony, Gordon et al invaded Iraq on fabricated tosh by the way?

People are on their knees and being forced to sleep under bridges in the pouring rain for unpaid work experience, so that those untroubled by austerity can enjoy a lovely stewarded pageant Obviuosly that story is going to run and run in all usual places until any private company - and do you know what, they aren't all bad - will stop giving work experience beacuse it's "evil capitalism' rather than in many cases a genuine chance to give people some useful experience. So they'll leave them signing on and that's it. Still Polly Tonybee et al will feel they've done the 'underclass' a favour and boast about it at their Hampstead soirees.

These royal 'gigs' are a bit like wedding discos they are meant to be a bit crap/naff surely?

...it's our wedding anniversary on Friday, so a lunch date would be nice and our 6 year old is bored of me already this half term! Tried jams but they are not doing anything this half term, which miffed her off mightily (my daughter), any suggestions? Not even sure if a 'days' activity like this exists
