Ireland beat England - I've just heard the news - brilliant. I fully expect history to repeat itself on Saturday...rugby that is. As for this question - I have scanned the net (against the rules) and have still not been able to find the answer. I set the original post thinking this would be about questions to which there was a real possibility that people would know the answer quickly (hence my simple questions thus far) without recourse to the net... but they are all so damn difficult, I do question whether the people asking the questions really knew the answer from their own knowledge. Its all too tough for me. This is not aimed at DPF - just a thought I had, maybe my sporting knowledge is just not up to it.

BBW - you are pushing the boundaries again....how about a lie down....

When interviewing at a higher level that you have worked at previously, and once you have successfully negotiated the technical questions relevent to the role, I have realised recently that questions of this nature are about you demonstrating your communication skills rather than there being a right or wrong answer to these type of questions. Obviously the question is designed to put you under some pressure - the immediate weakness that comes to mind might be one that you don't want to mention so perhaps think of a weakness not directly connected to the role and describe it in an interesting way, perhaps by reference to a work environment, referring to something in the past that had only very minor repercussions, hence making it more plausible.

50 top managers Wenger ahead of Stein - you must be joking. Stein was recognised by his peers as the best, although some later surpassed his achievements. How many people will remember Wenger in 40 years. This list is all about the top managers in England, not objective, in my view Wenger would not even make the top 50 european managers of all time.

Allez les bleus for me too - only because it suits Ireland - yes, this is our year...........(prays silently to Bod)

Please PM me, please PM me....what was the PM going to say - yes dear I am trying to be funny - are you not laughing?

Atila - I have to accept that Henry has equalised and scored an away goal when his team really needed it tonight, when trailing to Lyon. Well done him.

Wardy - I am sorry to hear about your treatment by Miss Hussey, especially over a minor issue. I think the fact that you remember this so clearly after so long shows the effect of physical treatment of this type on children and I think in not too many years from now we will look back on all physical discipline of children, by teachers, parents or anyone else as an outdated practice.

I guess so.

And for the ladies - Beware of Geeks bearing gifts.

I know Sean - but his spirit may have gone, poor lad.

I was doing some press ups in the bedroom a couple of years ago and my daughter came up and said innocently "what are you looking for daddy?". Completeley true, obviously I was not getting a lot of height on the press ups.

I was initially disappointed but had not seen the most recent post by BBW. I found him very funny, although all too often pushing the boundaries. What will woofmarkthedog do without him to engage with? RIP.

Well that won't upset everyone. You might now attract Peter Andre lookie likies, DM.

What would have happened to Ronaldo and Cantona at Liverpool, Matt?

Yes Finlay Calder correct also.

Jimmy Nesbitt has beena round ED for ages but now lives on Stradella Road - sort of Herne Hill - hes the only celeb I have ever seen in 8 years in ED. My wife spots peoles all the time - incl Tracey Barlow.... and I hear Stacey (of G&S) lives here too but I never see any of these glam pusses. Must open my eyes, pay more attention.

Don't be surprised however if the one with the shaggy black hair jumps up with his Americano and runs out the door, hops over the bonnet and heads into the dark side of peckham, then you will know - our boys never take a break. If the sandy haired one gets his guitar out and slips a large brandy into his latte, breaks into a chorus of "Lets have a quiet night in...together by the fireside" then you know who they are...get me some autographs.

With Jose crossing swords with Sir Alex again tomorrow night, it reminds me of the time when Porto first shocked Utd at Old Trafford, and they scored a late winner to go through at Utd's expense. That year I had a ?10 punt on Porto to win the Ch League at 40/1 from the start of the tournament - don't want to boast too much ????, but that was a good call, and what a run to the final they had, although nothing quite matched the excitement of that late goal at old trafford, and Jose's celebrations running down the touchline. Apparently he was annoyed because Alex did not shake his hand after the first leg, due to, guess what, Alex being annoyed at the referee not punishing Deco et al for diving all over he pitch at the slightest push. Not like Sir Alex to complain about things like that. Jose wanted to rub Sir Alex up the wrong way after winning, and they have not been best mates ever since, but Jose's probably the only manager to get the better of furguson in recent years so I'm really looking forward to their histrionics tomorrow night....

Red Devil - I'm pretty sure we have that right between us - how about a question each? Here's mine: During the 1991 rugby world cup a nasty scotsman knocked Jim Staples out with a forearm smash in the match between Ireland and Scotland, who was the nasty scotsman? (Staples later continued and the scots pelted him with high ball after high ball before emerging unsportsmanlike winners...tut tut)

Well Atila - Arsenal are the only team to win - that seems to be the opposite of a normal premiership saturday...

Well Bob - I'm back - not sure my duo balls were the ones she had in mind.

Ok - Here goes....
