I was heartbroken when Vieri didn't make the WC 2006 squad. Cry

One of my favourite players growing up after watching him at WC 1998, which is the first tournament I remember properly.

Drake Bell from Drake and Josh looks like a good looking version of Joey Barton.

Tennis balls were white or black for over a century, until becoming yellow a few decades ago for TV.

Something I've always wanted to know. Does anybody know the story behind 'Yellow Cap' of the John Aldridge affair at USA '94? Why was he there and why did he get involved?

Kanye West produced 4 of Jay-Z's songs on his 2001 album The Blueprint.

Didn't realise he's been around that long.

I’ll let you in on why BSM, and take my word for this having worked 15 odd years on Motorways etc.......

Most drivers are Morons. The stuff Ive see, the incidents I’ve dealt with, the interactions I’ve had in that time have initially amused, but then scared me. Nothing shocks me anymore. If Gardai did their job, there would be no traffic congestion because there would only be a handful of people left driving.

Hope that clears it up for you.

Dunno.  They've been doing it since I was a kid.  I have no idea.  I'd say every time I use it I'd see someone doing a u turn on it.

Maybe it's people who have missed the m50 southbound turn coming off the N4 and turning back to get back on the m50 southbound?

It must be a gift for the free staters to pass their test! Do you folks go through a proper examination? I would be surprised if you’s did.

You yellow platers are in no position to be looking down your noses, of that I can assure you. The absolute nonsense we deal with in work from you lot really has to be seen to be believed. If I could post CCTV from my work laptop ai would, and it would shut yous up nicely.
