Went to Bordeaux for my wife's birthday in 2004 and by a remarkable coincidence, Bordeaux were playing Rennes at home. Terrible game that finished 0-0 and the only thing of note was one of the Bordeaux players getting sent off after coming on as a sub.

Get her to phone customer services, speak to them nicely and tell them that she thought that she'd switched off data roaming. If it's the first time she's done it then there's a good chance they'll waive the bill and tell her not to do it again.

That's what I did with T-Mobile and talked my way out of a £3k bill. It does help if they can see that you've been abroad before and you've never had any previous data roaming problems.

One of the funniest shows on tv is back with a new series on BBC Three. It starts again with a double bill on Monday 7th November at 10:30pm.

For those who haven't seen it before, it's best described as an adult multi-species puppet comedy.

Done, hope it helps.

Google 'liveonlinefooty'.

I've used the liveonlinefooty website since last season and I highly recommend it. I watched the Valencia friendly on my phone last week just using 3G and the picture quality was very good. It's £30 for the season and overall the picture quality is excellent. They don't just show the footy either, they've also shown the boxing, wrestling, cricket, tennis etc as well as running Sky Sports news 24 hrs a day. You can try it for 24 hrs for £3 and you pay using Paypal so you don't give out your card details.

My wife met Tim Burton a few years ago, she said he was a nice bloke to talk to but she didn't know who he was. I was gutted when she told me.

Done

I met her last week, she's nothing special.

Work Permits are issued by the United Kingdom Border Agency and they are now issued on a points based system. Previously footballers used to have to play for a country ranked in the top 75 in the world and they had to have so many caps (20?) at senior level.

This is the definition of the current Tier 2 Sportsperson category: The sportsperson category is for elite sports people and coaches who are internationally established at the highest level, and will make a significant contribution to the development of their sport.

There used to be an appeals panel made up of ex-footballers, managers etc but I think this might now have been scrapped

After a few hours playing with it it's absolutely awesome. Only problem is no forumrunner app and while I do like browsing the forum from time to time properly I have really got into forumrunner. However I've turned it into a wifi device so I can use it on my itouch.

If you didn't already know, Forumrunner is now available for Android. It costs $1.99 for the full version.

The HTC Desire HD is an awesome piece of kit. It's so much better than my old iPhone.

Got an email today from Play.com to say that GT5 has been posted out to me (I originally ordered it on 08/06/06!). Hopefully it'll turn up before the official release date.

You can buy unlocked and contract free iPhones in the US. I purchased a 3GS in Orlando last year but I can't remember how much I paid. I'm over there in a week's time so I'll have a look for you and let you know how much they are.

Dave, I'll pay by bank transfer. I've still got the details from last time

Count me in please Dave

Mascherano (and his agent) arrived back in the UK earlier today. When I asked him if he was staying with Liverpool he said "I don't know".

Who on earth decided that Bolton & Blackburn should be category B games? and Sunderland a category C?

Delirium Tremens - Christy Moore

Hitchin' A Ride - Green Day

San Remo - Perez Prado

Sharp Dressed Man - ZZ Top

Medicated Goo - Traffic

Anyone know when Sky and ESPN will be announcing which games they're going to be showing? I need to book my days off work as soon as possible.

Sky announced last years live games on 09/07/09 and the previous years on 11/07/08. So they should be announced in the next 7 days.

Going to see them in Berlin next week, can't wait.

Paid (despite getting Cameroon)

The Itv HD channel cut to adverts just as the build up started to Gerrard's goal, their coverage then re-started showing the England players celebrating. The bunch of useless fucking muppets.

New Zealand at work

Cameroon on here

and £10 down the drain
