  1. I agree that it feels strange that one of the main tourist attractions is a place where just under 3000 people died,what i found worse was people trying to sell pictures of what had happened as the planes struck at the site but the police get rid of them fairly quickly. Battery park is deffinatley worth a visit and you are right that sphere is a quite impressive when you consider the damage that happened around it and yet it survived.
  2. I went to New York last year for the first time and visited the WTC site and even though it's now a massive building site i was overwhelmed by the scale of it.Also visited the museum that they have which has items recovered from the site including one of the windows from the 2 planes,the first hand accounts of events there is unbelievable. Has anyone else on here visited the site and if so what are your thoughts about it.
  3. The service provider for freeview felt it was a good time to do a software upgrade as it would effect less than 1% of all older boxes still in use,and i'm afraid there is nothing that can be done to get the old box working.
  4. When at school we could only use those cheap plastic ones which moved about alot and also the full size foam footballs that ended up weighing about 2 stone if it rained.
  5. Remember if in a pub it's a pint for the bloke and some sort of fruit based drink for the lady.
  6. Football should be the same and i agree a player should have the right to exercise notice to end it but and it's a big but you or i are not going to have another company paying 30 or 40 million pound for us. So maybe they have to look at letting the player go for an agreed transfer fee with compensation for remainder of contract and if it's a big club some comensation for merchandise,which is also one of the main reasons for signing a big name.
  7. I notice with Berbatov he never came out and said come and get me to Man utd,seems to just left Spurs in the dark as much as possible. But it is about time the FA/Premier league did something about various transfers because regardless of the money you get back these players signed contracts they liked at the time then ignore however long it has left to run,take Ronaldo he has about 4 years left on his deal another club should not be aloud to aproach him full stop.
  8. Wouldn't blame him if he did leave,seems not been given any real money to spend and with Wise as director of football seems like a complete joke.
  9. Bringing the wrong tyre because of an error is a joke after all these years experience i can't believe they don't have people double checking every aspect of what tyres to bring. Seems they are having the same types of problems as in F1 looks like both will soon be a one make series.
  10. I feel sorry for Stoner but agree he needs to know when to back of slightly and still win,if you look back at most of his crashes either this year or when he was on the Honda nearly always comes from pushing the front to hard.The championship is now Rossi's to loose but can't see that happening if need be in a race he will just back off and finish 3rd or 4th for the points. I think will be interesting with the Honda situation on tyres,maybe they might do what yamaha did when Roberts ran the team in the 90's and run one make on the front and another on the rear.As it seems not to much wrong with the Michelin rear it's just the front that seems to loose grip. I agree it's sad what has happened to Kawasaki they really started to look good a couple of seasons ago but have totally lost there way,they need to sign a big name rider who can get the development right for them.
  11. Saints away to Rotherham utd.
  12. Platoon,Full metal Jacket,The deer hunter and Hamburger hill.
  13. Can't believe anyone would risk serious money on him,you know he will only play about 4 games a year.
  14. Austin Princess now thats a terrible looking car and any Seat.
  15. With time things will get better have had to have 3 dogs and 1 cat put to sleep over the years it's not easy but you never want to see them suffer.Give it some time and you will start remembering all the good times you had with them.
  16. Terrible what they have been aloud to get away with when it comes to breeding,especially as alot of people take the info on the kennel club sight for granted.So you can be buying from a legit breeder but still get a poor dog because of there being very few health checks if any before it's parents had a litter. I have had 3 labs and have to say my last one is not kc registered but he looks as good as our pure bred one and is just as healthy,it's a shame more people don't go to an animal shelter to give a dog a home.
  17. Yeah they did do a Lager and lime flavour,for nostalgia i had a can of Bass lemonade shandy the other week tastes the same as Top Deck.
  18. When in the states i love the sausage they have at breakfast but you just can't get it here,also the pancakes are great.
  19. I would only want this takeover to happen if the consortium could bring some real financial clout with them,and this would have to be in the form of money to steady the business and get the bank off our back and money for transfers.If they can't do this i why change just for the sake of change again.
  20. An ok race bit spaced out at the front but good to see Capirossi get a good finish he still has what it takes to win races in my oppinion. I know they acted all suprised with Stoner falling off but if you remember when he rode the LCR Honda he was very fast but then fell of for no reason i think we are just seeing that he hasn't completely got rid of that. With the championship it is now Rossi's to loose but i think he will win it now,sad not to see Hayden there but as they said don't be sur****ed to see he has signed for Ducati the only thing is will he ride it for the rest of the season or sit it out and come back fresh next year.
  21. On the radio after the game they mentioned this so called consortioum and hoped something could be done in the next couple of weeks.Now if there is no truth in it why do they all keep dragging it up.
  22. The thing is all these matches the big clubs play abroad as friendlies are only there for one reason and that is tapping into a market for merchandise and more money it's sad but wont change anytime soon.
  23. I use the one at David lloyds southampton i don't think you have to be a member but they do get booked up,but worth a call.
  24. But nobody writes jokes in base 13.

    Has to be a full face lid,i have always bought Arai although have had one Shoei and that was very good.I just think the quality of both these lids is still miles better than alot of the others on the market.
