We were more than happy to keep Calsimsek up to date with the Ashes last summer Twisted Evil if you really do think you'll miss them then you can go to North Shields or the James Joyce. Yes, the staff are crap the beer is expensive but if you are true sports fan, you'll end up paying through the nose.
PS There is another thread for these sort of questions.

i think i have to say i disagree....it takes more than one series win to claim you are a better team. But who knows...it may be the start of a decline?? I doubt it though.

Why do you particular breed of Antipodeans call it aussie rules? Didn't you understand our(british) rules?
BTW did you know England lost at English Rules* at the weekend 18-12. Had we played Scottish rules, I'm sure the winning margin would have been greater.

*As much as I love Rugby(more than football) I will always be confused about its origins. When william webb Ellis picked up the ball in a game of football, why did no-one claim for handball?

If you get Digiturk, you will see quite a bit of cricket and rugby on Fox and Eurosport.

Just the other night just as I was about go to to bed, there was the WI vs. NZ live at 3 AM.

Two years ago, I followed the WC live and saw more of it than my family in Canada, which pissed them off.

Get Digiturk. You'll probably need a Turk to get it in their name for you. Try asking your landlord. Mine did it for me.

Regards,
'Dude

A dear one, you have touch the pain of my heart, the only real drawback of living here. Not being able to see the sport of the Gods. The only sport played in Heaven.

Thank God old Rupee at Fox sport lets us watch a highlight show on Sat evening.

As for keeping me:

Now thats ironic coming from you of all people ,you deride and ridicule other posters who don't share the same idology and philosphy as you and stand back and play the injured party when they bite back. Don't dish it out if you can't take it back ,just because someone thinks 99 pages of football is ever so slightly ott doesn't make them a shirtlifter or worse in your book . Football is boring 24/7 get a life .

I really don't understand why you feel you have to be so agressive and rude.

We've had enough problems on this forum with trolls as it is. We don't need any more.


Which is he, an otter or a troll?

blah blah blah blah - how ironic was that post?

What battles? What the hell are you talking about? Are you on drugs or something? Why am I even replying to this? That was such a pointless post!

If Mr. Oliver can't take the jibes, which I'm sure he can and doesn't need any help from you (to fight his battles?), then he shouldn't interupt other peoples posts moaning about how he doesn't like them.

You on the other hand are simply irrelevant.

So, let's start again shall we.

Mr. Buzz, what are your interests? (other than joining in and trying to fight somebody else's battles by critising someone for joining in and fighting somebody else's battles)
