it certainly isn't going to be that easy after todays results... Denmark won't be a pushover but if we get past them then it's Brazil in the quarters..... and possibly Sweden again in the Semi's.... Of course we can win it - no problem Simon

I've always liked Sweden Wish I'd had a bet on France AND Argentina going out in the 1st round though..... Sv..... Simon

oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...... France are OUT... who would have thought it, eh? The World Champions knocked out in the 1st round without even scoring a single goal Simon

Could it really be true? the French have to win their final game by 2 to go through...... it's gonna be tough against Denmark...

I always knew I was right!!!! Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it ... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable slop. Q: Is beer or wine bad for me? A: Look, it goes to the earlier point about fruits and vegetables. As we all know, scientists divide everything in the world into three categories: animal, mineral and vegetable. We all know that beer and wine are not animal, and they are not on the periodic table of elements, so that only leaves one thing, right? My advice: Have a burger and a beer and enjoy your liquid vegetables. Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one.If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain - Good. Q: If I stop smoking, will I live longer? A: Nope. Smoking is a sign of individual expression and peace of mind. If you stop, you'll probably stress yourself to death in record time. Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: You're not listening. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you? Q: What's the secret to healthy eating? A: Thicker gravy. Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach. Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: Are you crazy? Hello ... Cocoa beans ... Another vegetable!!! "It's the best feel-good food around!" Well I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. Have a biscuit ... flour is a veggie! One more thing... "When life hands you lemons, ask for a bottle of tequila and the salt." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi andrews, Nah, it's not really the bait that's contoversial over here... more like some people have a problem with the "type" of angler that uses the bait most often... there's an awful lot of snobbery over here mate If you're catching well on naturals though, why change? Simon

Cheers Newt.... Spasor, I actually needed them for my girlfriend, she deals with a lot of Germans in her line of work (something to do with being an SS officer I think!!!!) even though they all speak very good English I think she wanted to show off a little Simon

absolutely disgusting... the mere fact that he was fishing the Severn during the close season is bad enough but when you consider that he killed the fish too.... :mad: However, the EA are quoted as saying that what he actually did is not technically an offence, indeed technically it would have been an offence to return the fish as it is a non-native species!! Don't know how they can explain away the close season fishing though..... Simon
