Quotestonesrule Father Ted, hope you will post lots about your thoughts at the Olympics. Glad you'll be there! Re Wimbledon, I would not be suprised if David Ferrer wins. Anyone but Djokovic. Love Tsonga. He's got some great moves when he's really on. Ferrer on grass? Ain't gonna happen! Roger having to put up a huge fight right now - was two sets down to Julien Be

Quotemtaylor A question: - How many times can you hear / listen to the same thing? These radio / TV programs don't bring anything new - mostly repeat the same old same old thing. It is the 50'th year anniversary, but still.... don't kill the event with repating the same story. Then don't bloody listen to it. Someone was just trying to be helpful and informative by telling

Quote24FPS You are allowed to like Alabama Shakes (though they're a bit retro for me) and Jack White. It's not either/or. But if you only like Alabama Shakes you absolutely MUST make up some thing about how they don't like Jack White/don't want to work with him.

Would love to attend any event cause I'm a massive tennis fan. I just hope against hope that we don't get another god-awful Nadal vs Djokovic final but with the courts looking to be slower yet again, it's hard to bet against it. Defense wins the day again. Holding out some hope for Roger to pull out some vintage performances though. He was impressive today and looked to get in t

Quoteszef QuoteSoulPlunderer Very high quality tournament so far. Not many poor matches and almost all of the teams have looked competitive (ahem, Ireland). The Euros tend to be better than the World Cup. Unfortunately money is the most important thing so in France we will have 24 teams. Quality won't be so high anymore.

I actually think Spain will be happier to ply France than England.

The stats I heard placed less than 50% of sales as being down to the ticket tie-in. Madonna tends to play lots of her new songs during concerts though so it makes sense to allow the audience to be familiar with them whether they are counted or not. There have been a few varying reports some saying that the CD was free with the ticket and some suggesting that it cost a bit extra.

Quotesweetcharmedlife QuoteMore Hot Rocks Just a thought. What if Keith gave the finger. What would people on this board think? I would think it would be a stupid thing to do. But he was on the Super Bowl and didn't do it. Which makes him instantly classier than the idiot MIA. He DID write a book that contained an extract mocking his best friend's penis though.
