    Sticks and stones.

    Times are changing, the world is changing. I am in my fifties and have seen how football has evolved into the game of super skilful players with plenty of talent. We are improving as men, and women, on the pitch but these days people seem very easy to upset. When you are in battle on the...

    Windows MediaPlayer - burning CDs

    I have plenty of (my own) songs in MP3 format and I tried burning some to CD using Windows Media Player (Ver 12 - Windows7). All fine and easy except for one problem. The finished CD is MONO. The tracks play in stereo when played in Media Player but I can't find out what's wrong - there...

    REM split

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15012427 After 31 years, the one time biggest band in the world are ending it all, as it were. They are probably unfashionable to the pop pickers of today but I enjoy a lot of their stuff. I only saw them once and that was a million years ago, I'm glad...

    Louis Saha does a Ronaldo

    Remember this? Idiot in fast car Saha has done exactly the same. Virtually the same car, same road, same section. When I saw the the pictures I thought it was the Ronaldo incident. It's a fine road. Clear, good surface, wide, no sharp corners. A normal driver in an average car can cruise...

    Auto-refresh on TB?

    Is it possible for a forum site like TalkingBalls to update automatically like the BBC live football pages? During a match thread, rather than pressing F5 to update every so often it would be clever if the page updated itself every 2 minutes. Is it do-able?

    Man City buy Adebayor

    From the BBC (well, most of it) Manchester City have added to their collection of egos by signing Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor on a five-year deal for a fee of around £25m. The 25-year-old joins fellow new self-importances Roque Santa Cruz and Carlos Tevez at Eastlands. And with Robinho, Craig...

    New Vs Old

    Having read some of the threads on here I'm under the impression that Leicester have managed to persuade a player or maybe three to join the club for next seasons Championship Campaign. How do people think that a team roughly based around Nielsen Kaebi, Mattock, N'Gotty, Chambers Hellings...

    Has anyone seen..

    Has anyone seen an unknown band or performer that went on to be big years later? I saw The Stone Roses a few times in 1988 when the audience numbered about 100. Also got to see Manic Street Preachers in 1991. I think 'Motown Junk' had just come out. I also manage to see Mick Hucknell singing...

    Ah, Tit Monday. It's not that far off now, that glorious day when, heading into work on the bus, or walking to the tube, or sitting on the train, you find yourself suddenly chirpier than you have been in months. You find yourself smiling at strangers again. There is a mild involuntary tumescence...

    Where do City go after the Stoke game? No, not Home to Crewe, but the way I see it, unfortunatly, we are now a BORING Championship team. Watford, Stoke, Cardiff, QPR, Luton, Leicester etc. We are gonna be here for the foreseeable future. CL won't take us anywhere (don't ask me to offer an...

    Player banned - Who?

    ITV teletext (Page 403) says that an unnamed player is serving a 6-month ban for cocaine use. The story they say is from 'UK Sport' but they have nothing on the web site. The player is banned from Aug 05 till Feb 06. Do we know of any player who is missing from action? perhaps a 'long term...

    World Cup Ace Signed?!?!?

    Ain't ITV Teletext brilliant. Page 521 is an advert for people to call 'FansFC', one of those premium rate phone line things for fans of all clubs. Each Club has a dramatic transfer story headline that cannot possibly be true, but very funny. Leicester: SHOCK TRANSFER NEWS - World Cup...
