I think it depends on what you are brought up with. I have watched and played soccer since i was a toddler. I have seen Beckham play at United and many English matches. The atmospehere and the culture behind it is something that becomes ingrained and becomes part of the culture of your country and a bit of your own personal history. Trying to introduce this to other countries cultures doesn’t always work as it’s not a big part of their history. I have watched some american football and i can’t see what the attraction of it is. However, if i watched a game in real life i might see it from a different point of view.

Hello All

I am going to Florida this month from the UK and i am looking at buying alot of A&A Minis, and the wife wants craft stores for card making, scrapbooking etc. We are staying in Orlando. I just wondered if anyone could recommend some store chains to go to where we might be able to pick this type of stuff up. Anything within an hours drive or so from Orlando would be great.

Cheers.

Germany is Germany.

And for Spain… no chance, pals  :-D Media Mark have a promo: if you buy a TV in MM and Spain passes quarters, they give back you the money. You can imagine. Any spanish know Spain never will pass the quarters in any soccer championship, even non fans of soccer as I.

Edit: and when, somehow, they manage by a miracle pass the quarters, Spain gets an utterly and total defeat in the finals  :mrgreen:

Seems I was wrong  :-D As I said, I’m not an expert at football, and this confirm it. Anyway, it’s good seeing spanish flags in the houses for once without bad things happening. If football unite spanish people, maybe serves for something. Congrats on all spanish football fans, and also for german fans for Germany playing the final match  :-)

HBO is playing a several of his specials right now….

You know, all of this talk about Oil…  I heard it before in my life…  about 30 years ago.

Massive inflation on EVERYTHING in double digits (not just food and fuel), massive price run-ups in the cost of gasoline, we even had rationing back then (you could only buy fuel on certain days based on your license plate number).

We have had more than 30 years from our first warnings about this problem.  In the interim we have done nothing except ignore the problem.

Perhaps we NEED these massive price run ups… hell we probably need the cost of gasoline to at least double AGAIN ($8.00 gas?) in order to actually have some REAL action taken to solve this problem PERMANENTLY.

The indian Sepoy mutiny of 1857.

…. and if you stretched it enough i suppose you could call the reformation a civil war in the church  :-D

they forgot a lot of them without haveing to strech. like all the english civil wars and the glorious revolution. and they forgot the war where more americans died than any other war. (also happens to be the second modern war) the Civil War. (what a creative name) Does the Hungarian Revolution count as one and all the other minor communist revolts. Does Italian Renuifaction count as a civil war. because it just this one dude going around and forcing others to join the great italian cause. but someone said something about Greece. they did have a civil war right after world war I i think.

Greece had its civil war after WWII

the communists tried to seize power

the USA and UK backed up anticommunist forces which eventually win

very important event was closing the borders of Yugoslavia and Albania to Greece, that how Greek communists found themselves trapped
-it happened after the Tito-Stalin split

and the Greek communists were i think ideologicaly connected to Soviets

yeah i think that happened after both wars. first the brits and the french were dividing up Turkey and the Russians and Americans created the coldwar.

@dezrtfish:

Why does it always have to be a love story  :roll:

my thought exactly

Sorry Switch, they aren’t real girl scouts. You have to special order those.  :wink:

Your right Frimmel, the thin mints don’t do so well in the heat. Bojangles packed a box once and and he ended up just pouring them into his mouth. Most of us just carry peanut butters.

I don’t have all the details on where these cookies came from. Apparently some company in the states wanted to ship 300 boxes of girl scout cookies to the army guys, but they added an extra 0 on there. The Army got more than they needed, and gave us a few.  :-D

But apparently having a ton of them is still a negative…

GG

Have you read that book blung?

@dezrtfish:

It’s like a chinese laundry with all the ironying going on in here…. :wink:

You wants some starch withy that ironing?

Yes so I know… Too much of us think that you are Frasier’s from “Due South”… OF course not me… :)

scary deep there Frood.

LOL!!!

AD&D ! I used to play and run that years ago !

First edition was okay in its day, but ‘Feats’ RULE!!, 3rd edition all the way… (I’m not hearing a lot of good comments about 4.0 apparently its just being made to make money for wizards, they’ll stop making stuff for 3.5 , forcing gamers to shell out hundreds of pounds for new books, and its all apparently geared towards getting people to use the minatures… AD&D is now a business more than ever… not much room for roleplayers in it anymore ! :cry:)

…sure the system falls apart at about 15th lvl+ and ‘Epic’ is completely unplayable, but at low to mid level its a lot of fun and your characters get tons of options., I could never go back to playing first… no way.

@ncscswitch:

Personally I like all the new religious groupies Baltar has had in recent episodes…
:evil:

Now THAT is living :wink:

I think this one is the hottest cult groupie.

Dezrt you can watch episodes online here. Although if you haven’t been keeping up it might be a tad confusing. You might try the series recap video. Which is fun even if you’ve been watching. Great stuff, hotness of cylon model No.6 aside.

@dezrtfish:

Good gigity gigity goo, that chic is hot, I need to start watching more Sci-Fi Channel. :-o

Yeah, she’s enough to give you a Complex.

:lol:

LMAO

Most of those Hitler parodies are pretty funny…
