I can definitely recommend Dick's Office - a bit slow coming, but well worth the wait.

Seville 4 - Middlesbrough 0 Well, there we go, he couldn't even win the European Loser's Cup! I actually missed the first half (nearest & dearest wanted to watch a Thai Karaoke CD). The second half was abismal. If McLaren is going to use such old fashioned English 4th Division kick & rush ta...

Maybe there's a clue in the other teams in the group - which country is Sven supporting? His own, or the one that he is dumping in a couple of weeks time?

I know which answer seems the most likely to me.

LOS

Sorry Guys, but I have to ask the question. In numerous postings over many months people refer to LOS - can somebody please tell me what it means? I've been assuming that it means Thailand, but can't make any connection between LOS and Thailand. Please put me out of my misery. :? :roll: A short shar...

Remember you're talking about Thailand - are you sure of their definition of 'Beyond our reasonable control'? I'd better their definition is different to yours. I'd agree with the above wholeheartedly. The phrase means nothing and with the "our", it certainly puts "them" in the d...

Wanderlust, Thanks for your reply. I don't know what happened to the PM, but lomuamart also requested a similar PM message which I sent, and that also disappeared in to the ether - probably something I did wrong. However, I was being inundated with PMs at the time - members wanting to know what was ...

Dr Dave, I think the link you have just posted is to the main retail outlet, rather than the backstreet outlet being mentioned by Jaime. Even though all addresses are quoted, the map reference is to the retail outlet. Certainly, JW's directions are to the backstreet (cheaper) outlet. I would guess, ...

How do they expect a manager from a 2nd rate team, whose best achievement is to get to the final of the European Losers Cup, to lead our nation to victory in 2010? I seem to remember his current set of loyal supporters screaming for his head earlier this season. If you don't set your sights high eno...
