Cheers for the replies guys. i was in a really bad mood yesterday and instead of working i preferred to rant. I still think that Malta's a shoithole, mind you, but at least today i don't have yesterday's foul mood. :) RiS, I also thought we'd got the draw but i never seem to learn. We do that endless times in international matches: hang on for 89mins then do something silly and lose 1-0. Oh, and football here is corrupt to the bone, and i speak as someone who has experienced it at different levels of the game, at my own expense.

I'd have done it ages ago mate, if the wife agreed. But if we seperate in the future, i'll be off like a fucking bullet.

Oh! The shooting myth! That is a bit of a grey area. Until a couple of years ago or so there was little regulation related to hunting but since we've suddenly become all trendy and EUROPEAN, we've introduced all sorts of laws without bothering to explain what they entail to the hunting lobby, who may be on the berge of turning their shotguns on the govt and their apparatchiks if they don't get some form of spring hunting season...and I don't blame them. They have been repeatedly lied to. The trappers' situation is even worse.

For those who cant bother looking at the top right hand corner of my posts, the cunt-ry in question is Malta, an archipelago of a few miserly rocks 90kms south of Sicily and 160kms north of Libya. Sorry if anyone though of holidaying here thinking it was Atlantis or something and i burst your fucking bubble. It's become a concrete fucking jungle.

I'd much rather live in the cold highlands believe you me. And as for this Roddy Collins bloke don't know him and had never heard of him before he came over but heard he's a fucking thundercunt.

Still a shit place to live and if i think hard, i'm dead sure i'll find a zillion other reasons to leave.

1. Is a fuckin rock in the middle of the med where its too hot in summer and too damp in winter (so that the cold gets right into your bones no matter what you wear) 2. The locals are prudes who say they're Catholic and to look decent, but don't live what they preach and their lives are all about appearance 3. Growing up we got used to a slow-paced life-style, but because we want to be EUROPEAN, we are devaluing and shunning our traditions. Now, it's a fuckin monotonous routine of work, competition, more work and very little to show for it in terms of wages. We got the lowest wages in all of the EU and highest cost of living ratio. (But it's ok coz we're Europeans now!) 4. Our local football is shit. Amateur doesnt even begin to describe it! 5. These fucking 27km are beginning to make me feel claustrophobic. I want out.

Just watched Fahrenheit 9/11. Feel humbled. 8/10. The missed marks are because the subject matter is of so grave a consequence that the 'humour' felt really out of place. Others may have seen it as a technique to outline the incongruence of the whole situation. Anyway I feel like starting a campaign to indict Bush and Blair for Crimes against humanity. IMO there is a fucking strong case for that.

I will start reading for an MA in Media studies soon, probably, and was thinking that i may write a thesis analysing his media presence and his PR strategies. Monte???

watched 'burn after reading' yesterday and found it amusing and tactfully witty. Script:8/10 performances: 7/10 in general; Brad Pitt: 9/10 the coens' delivery: 7/10 (but i tend to get this feeling of underachievement with them)

Have been reading up on him and waiting for a collection of his writings to be delivered by post. Has anyone got any opinions? I think he is a dreamer, but admire what he is doing and the way he goes about it very much. on to you...

So get this. I have just switched to france's game vs romania and the commentary is for colombia vs ecuador which has apparently just started! I hope its mot my decoder fucking up!

Anyone got any idea who the czech rep no 7 is? Great skill to set up their equaliser.

Babel has a characterial problem. Until he came here he played football for fun. When he got here and started getting lectured about tracking back and all that pressure and zonal responsibility stuff, he most probably didn't even listen as he thought his attacking prowess would compensate for responsibilities that he shirked. Then Benitez started pointing out his lacking aspects and he started losing confidence. The result is a broken player who needs to be shipped out to some club where he can do what the fuck he wants on the pitch.

I said similar, not exactly the same. However, they are selling players to cover bank loans and they are selling players because the Sensi family has repeatedly refused to sell the Club. As an aside, Roma are a plc on the Mibtel Exchange, if I'm not mistaken.

Just FYI (and to add a little drama to the debate) Roma are in a similar situation as us financially and rumour has it that as soon as the transfer window in Italy closed yesterday evening, Mr Spalletti handed in his resignation and Roma were already in contact with Claudio Ranieri who is odds-on favourite to take over.

Who's that...or have i swallowed hook, line and sinker?

How the fuck can you give it to Carra after contributing to their second goal? For me 1. Mascherano 2. Skrtel 3. Johnson

I think if voronin is on his way to hertha, then there will be a void that vdv could fill and fill it very nicely indeed. Just my opinion, like.

I dont want to make any conjectures, but one of the tabloids have linked us to Amorebieta of Athletic Bilbao (Centre Half) this morning and i tried to keep an eye out for him yesterday during their Spanish Super Cup loss to Barca (as he'd already been linked to us in the past), but he was not involved. I don't know if he was injured though.

manic, if you get used to the short cuts on the BB browser it becomes very smooth to use. the only grudge i have is you cannot open multiple browsers at one go - or else i havent found out how yet

Just keep your browser on LiveScore.com - Soccer Live Scores It will update automatically everytime there's a change in one of the featured games and it keeps track of a shitload of scores, scorers and leagues. At least that's what I do!

the V i know is a mind-bogglingly eclectic novel written by Thomas Pynchon in the 1950s, and i ve just finished reading it - but dont ask what it is about, i only got bits and pieces here and there.
