  1. Nah it's bollocks mate... ...it's "Deja vu" - two words not three. Good bit of detective work there - the writing style is exactly the same.
  2. Shouldn't it be "He was born in teeside and he moved to oldham when he was 7 year (sic) old." etc. etc.?
  3. That may be true but the tips on conserving battery life (linky) read to me as "turn off everything you like about your phone"!
  4. Ok, I'll try and do that! I'm a bit of a "glass half empty so it needs filling up" kind of person... Cheers Ste.
  5. Got my iPhone 4 yesterday (with promise of free "bumper" when they have some in stock!). I must be a fanboy cos I love it - miles faster than my 3G... I've read that it's good to let the battery drain before the first re-charge. If true, should I let it drain all the way down? Cheers.
  6. AGREE 1000%!!! Watched it last night on IMAX. Bleeping amazing! (and that's swearing for you!)
  7. why would he do it now if he businessman then wait til we desperate for cash then save us with less needed makes sense to me.
  8. Can't see him being any good - he's in his early 40s now isn't he? He wasn't that great when I played against him when we were growing up... Oh, you're talking about a different Andy Butler...
  9. Is it true all the participants take drugs and it's just a matter of who gets caught? We lived in France when Lance Armsrong was dominating the Tour and the French just dismissed his success as "performance-enhanced"... Typical of the francais...
  10. That's a shame as more has "emerged" on this story... Can we not just put "allegedly" after each rumour and call it good?
  11. Agree with most of what you wrote but then I had a flash back / deja vu moment - isn't the above highlighted phrase what a certain Mr. Penney said about a year ago?!?
  12. Nice but a Union Jack ("Union Flag" for the purists/pedants) is pretty old school at an England match nowadays, isn't it?
  13. BREAKING NEWS! http://www.periscopepost.com/2010/06/footb...errard-rumours/ A tipster has alerted The Periscope Post to some rather salacious rumours about England footballer Steven Gerrard, that may help explain the England team’s appalling performance at the 2010 Football World Cup. Indeed, even some cursory investigation suggests that The Periscope Post is not the only news organization that’s heard the rumours. The bottom line is that there has been speculation about whether footballer Gerrard may have engaged in an affair with, and made pregnant, his wife’s sister. This news, so the rumour goes, was known to the rest of the England team throughout their time in South Africa. Half the team supported Gerrard and the other half turned against him in disgust. To make matters worse, the incident apparently prompted John Terry to confront coach Capello for not removing Gerrard from the Captaincy. Shortly before the start of the World Cup, Terry had been stripped of his title as England Captain following revelations about his own indiscretions. All this apparently led to considerable tension among the players and in particular between Terry and Gerrard. So are these rumours just desperate attempts to explain the England football team’s early exit from the World Cup, or is there some basis for the allegations? All comments, leads, clarifications welcomed here at The Periscope Post either through the comments field or through our anonymous
  14. Thanks all for the comments. I forgot to say I have a 3G iPhone at the moment so it's a "double upgrade" for me. Ackey, Re: I thought there'd be a thread about this but I only looked as far as this forum, not the Techie one.
  15. I can get a free upgrade for an iPhone4 but I've read lots about the antenna problems. Has anyone got one? Or thinking about getting one? Cheers.
  16. I saw the Shaw Gawbies flag on the telly on Sunday morning against the Krauts. Love the England flags, it's great seeing where they're from.
  17. German police are investigating the stoning of a Jewish dance group trying to perform on the street in the city of Hanover. Youths reportedly shouted "Juden Raus" (Jews Out) as they attacked the dancers of the Chaverim ("Friends" in Hebrew) dance troupe last weekend. Police said several Muslim immigrant youths were among the attackers and two youths were being questioned. A German Jewish leader said she feared growing anti-Israeli sentiment. 'So awful' The group was trying to perform in Hanover's Sahlkamp district, which has a large immigrant community. One of the dancers was injured in the leg and the troupe cancelled the performance after the attack. Police said one German suspect aged 14 and a 19-year-old of North African origin were being questioned. Alla Volodarska, of the Progressive Jewish community of Hanover, told Associated Press news agency she had spoken to the dancers involved. "What happened is just so awful. The teenagers started throwing stones the moment our dance group was announced, even before they started dancing." Charlotte Knobloch, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, told the Die Welt newspaper that anti-Semitic feelings were widespread in both far-right and Muslim communities in the country. "It particularly saddens me that those anti-Semitic views can already be seen with such vehemence among children and youths," she said. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/europe/10406344.stm
  18. Agree with this and the other post you wrote about the Yanks. They really are the worst glory-hunters in the world. They don't give a shiite about "soccer" but if they win a match they publish article after article about it. The comments I've had at work leave me speechless. As others have said, one goal would have been enough to put us in the "easier" section of the knockout stages. I was fuming when Cappello replaced Rooney with Joe Cole. Thought Crouch would've been a better choice.. For me, it's damage limitation now as far as England and the US are concerned. And that means we have to progress as far as they do... Come on Ghana!
  19. Wasn't his mum a member of this board? Or maybe of thinking of the old Fishal one...
  20. Agree with all of this... I keep telling everyone here the same - we are notoriously slow-starters... If we don't win I'll never hear the end of it here... Come on England!
  21. I agree, why, oh why, does everyone forget that it should be two "o"s in "too". That is: "We hate Man U and City too"! I see this type of error all over the place these days...
  22. I, too, did not know what The Georgian was so I took your advice and here is what I found in Google: "We love languages at Listen & Learn. Our native Georgian teachers based in Oldham will come and teach you at home or at work. All levels." www.listenandlearn.org/georgian/oldham/ Seems innocent enough to me...
