airbags

It's going to come out some day that this "Rashid" character is actually a long-running joke, is he serious or what here? You spend £1000s of pounds on clothes? What exactly has that got to do with taking care of your health? Also, just wondering where you get the finance to fund such buys?, you seem to spend all your time in here, certainly not earninig money.

It has to be the Stiller one so far.

would love to see De La Hoya do it one more time, but can't see it unfortuantly, Mayweather to win im afraid but hope to be proved wrong.

Momo Sissoko - 3 Jamie Carragher - 1 Robbie Fowler - 2 Xabi Alonso - 4

I'd like to think yes, I will be quite horrified it it is not possible.

Ireland and Poland. I will have to go for my own nation in this one no matter how biased I may be. Land of saint, scholars and buckfast. (although I hear Scotland are fond of the jiuce as well) Poland, birthplace of Karol Wotjyla, Pope John Paull II, I've also had some brilliant drunken discussions with Polish people in my hometown, though I don't share their penchant for raw vodka, pity they won't generally look at you when there sober though.

I had a go on one for the first time last week, won a few bob on them, then again during the week and then today, intended to put a fiver in one and see what happens, got up to 31 quid, happy days I thought until I lost a tenner on a red bet, fell into a downward spiral, lost my money and chased my losses until I eventually lost 60 quid to the bastard fucken things. I will add that to my football (when was the last time you did a football accumulator only to see none of your teams win?) and the donkeys, don't talk to me about betting. I think I might give it up altogether to be honest. Stresses me out too much, when I started last year, I definelty thought I could control it but that was because I was usually winning, not so now im afraid.

despite my fondness for Dirk, I think it's a bit ridiculous voting for Dirk at this stage of his career over Gerrard despite his past indiscretions.

does it involve me giving some sort of servicing to your avatar in return?, if so, I would be more than happy to oblige, as long as it's kept between me and you of course.

real red, you are a king among men, thought I would have to go to the doctor to get that shit, and you know yourself; with getting prescriptions and all, it's much handier to get it overt the net. Cheers man, keep this between me and you, yeah?

sips airbags (side impact protection system). that is all.

How long do I have to wait then till it's of the monster epic porportions of someone like Charley Knight? (big strapping fit lad like he is)

does it's size increase as I post more or what? I'm sick of it being so small. (in relation to my avatar obviosuly)

mines pretty snazzy, no?

Remmie, I personally don't believe in ghosts myself, but I don't feel the need to belittle everyone that does, I think most stories are the case of an over active imagination but some stories are very difficult to justify under current scientific criteria. Anyone read the Haunted liverpool series? The introduction of the first book offers (what he percieves) as a logical scientific explanation for spectes and such. When I was younger the boys were always looking to play an oujia board, have heard some strange stories about people playing them in the Gaeltacht regions in Ireland. I always thought Spin the Bottle would be better craic myself. (as long as there were a couple of cailins about obviously)

Just after watching that fight on Youtube, maybe the wrong thread to be saying it in, but noticed how apt the prohecy of the commentator was in saying "the only thing that can beat Mike Tyson is Mike Tyson himself." Could have been the greatest of all time, probably was the best ever during his short prime?

Regular reader, don't bother posting too much but can I just ask honestly the no. of people here who use the word "uber" in everday conversation? I thought it was a pretty obscure word until I came on here, why can't Pete Doherty be just a "gay twat." Must he be an "uber gay twat?"

He's certainly right about playing garcia away from home.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just after reading this online in the Irish Indo... Benitez needs to focus on quality not quantity in bid to Friday October 27th 2006 PEOPLE are asking Rafa Benitez the wrong questions in their bid to get to the bottom of Liverpool's current lack of form. They're asking him if rotating his squad so frequently is doing more harm than good. I'm not sure if it's too relevant an issue. The real problem is that the players he has just aren't good enough. Rightly or wrongly, any Liverpool team will always be compared with the legendary league winning selections of the past. And I honestly believe that from the current squad it's only Steven Gerrard that would have figured in the great sides that I was lucky to be a part of. Of the rest, I'd say the only one to come close would be another Scouser in the shape of Jamie Carragher and while Xabi Alonso was very impressive last season, he's been a shadow of himself since the World Cup. His season hasn't even started yet. A lot of the other players haven't been playing well this season but the issue could simple be that they're just not good enough in the first place. Certainly, the summer signings don't appear to have made Liverpool the serious title contenders that some believed they would be at the start of August. Dutch striker Dirk Kuyt works hard and perhaps it's too early to be judging him. And you could say the same about Craig Bellamy but from what we've seen you would be sceptical about considering him a really top player. It's the same with Jermaine Pennant, Mark Gonzalez and some of the other new faces. Last weekend's dismal showing against Manchester United was depressing. I really couldn't believe how many times Liverpool were softly giving away possession in the centre of the park. When I came to Liverpool first, the simplest message we got, which came down from Bill Shankly, was that when we got the ball, all we have to do is make sure we get it to a red shirt. Sure, Liverpool were doing plenty of that last Sunday but the only problem was that Manchester United were wearing red. It's the lack of real football brains in the current squad that Benitez has assembled which would worry me. I can not understand why he keeps playing Luis Garcia away from home. He doesn't have strength and he doesn't have passing ability. The Spaniard is a liability for such tough games. Just look at the situation now - down in 11th place needing a miracle to get back into the picture, with the title already out of the equation. In 1981-82 we were 12th at Christmas and still managed to win the league. But that was a dressing room which included guys like Phil Neal, Alan Hansen, Phil Thompson, Graeme Souness and Kenny Dalglish. There's no one of that calibre to drag them out of their current mire. We could go away from home in games, to places like Bolton and Blackburn, and come up against sides that would try and kick us for the first 60 minutes. The difference was we had the fight to get through that and eventually they would give up. Then our ability would come through and we would win the game. This Liverpool side doesn't have the fortitude to cope with that 60 minutes and that's why they haven't a chance of winning the league with this squad. In his defence, Benitez says that they had a worse start last season and they came back to qualify for the Champions League and win the cup. And that's fair enough. But already we're at a situation when that's probably the most they can achieve again unless they produce something special in Europe. In any top club, they look for progress from year to year but Liverpool appear to have stalled. They've spent a fortune in the summer but they're still where they were this time last year. They might have players who are good enough to produce it for the odd big occasion. Collectively, however, they don't have the strength to make that last over the course of the season. He can rotate the squad because they've got quantity. It's the quality that they're missing. Ronnie Whelan

my fault, sorry, i'll learn yet.
