until we left england i never realised just how over priced basic post is in the uk. i can send a card, standard letter from here to the uk for $1.10, about 55p. from 8,000 miles away and it arrives in about 4 days. to send something within country here it is 25p standard and arrives the next day.

i definitely think the seahawks are the real deal this year. brandon browner and earl thomas are immense. they kept the packers and cowboys to one td, the pats got two but also two int. they have a big, bulky secondary that stops most teams being able to air the ball out against them and when...

koh tao is brilliant. just bought a villa on the top of the hill over looking the beach. we live in singapore so it's an easy long weekend get away for us. thongpats is the best place to go for food, on the road up from the harbour, left hand side. the backpacker bars and cafes are nice enough...

gamepass is bloody brilliant - if just for the condensed games alone. the condensed game is is superb. yoou just don't see any clock wasting, the bits inbetween plays, stops for ad breaks, end of quarters etc. it is brilliant to watch a full game, see every single snap of the ball but it not...

we can't now we live abroad because of the whole mad cow thing. i was edging close to 50 blood donations before we left. my daughter lived for as long as she did because of some strangers who got off their arses, took a short time out of their day and donated some blood (she had plasma and...

tomorrow would be anastasia's ninth birthday. we talk about her all the time, she has been gone for so much longer than she was here. she has seven younger siblings that never knew their big sister. please, please, please, if you are able go and register and donate what you can. you really can...

best of luck with your bike ride and fund raising. i will donate when i have found my uk bank card. blood donation and bone marrow donation are subjects that aren't given enough importance in society. a bone marrow donor gave my daughter a shot at life that she wouldn't have had otherwise...

or the greatest, depending on what you look for in a player. not entirely sure how he got away with it all for so long, but his finest hour was an away game at chelsea. i think we lost 4-1 (mark hughes hat trick) but the result was secondary on that day. it was in the days when they were still...

glad to know a few of you have now signed up as donors. it is such a simple, straightforward thing to do and it really does make a difference. to make the decision to donate organs for someone just after they've passed, has to be the hardest thing, dave. that is wonderful that the man has kept...

thanks all. shegull we're good thank you, sinead is grand and keeping busy with the children. she'll be touched to know you remembered Anastasia. anyway, today it is six years since she died and one day it might be you or your loved one waiting for a donor organ or told there is no marrow...

next week it is six years since Anastasia died, she should have been celebrating her ninth birthday later this year. it is impossible for me to think of that tiny not yet three year old being gone for so long or being old enough to celebrate her ninth birthday. but she's not here and i know i...

we'll be having chilli crab and chinese buns at the seafood centre. not sure we'd be able to find a proper turkey over here. it is all frozen. first year in 14 that we haven't reared and slaughtered our own turkey.

absolutely awful news. couldn't believe it when the phone went last night and my brother said speedo hung himself. as once was said "go on gary speed, get one for yourself son" i hope he is up there with billy and john with a glass of his favourite belgian beer in his hand. just so sad, they...

Ken bates severed what attachment with leeds I might have had, i'll only go back when he's gone. miss it a lot. have been to watch the singapore s league but it isn't the same. watched some rubbish football at leeds but never as bad as the standard out here. plus this island is riddled with scum...

i was born in ireland but raised in egypt. like ireland to visit but never to live, love egypt but not enough work out there for me. now living in singapore. we were living in england up until this summer but i had a hub out here for my business and we decided to give living out here a go...

that was a brutal loss on monday night, i'm not entirely convinced by the lions (yet!) but our bloody o line, again. i know, i really am a stuck record. i was so irate about it on tuesday that i emailed in to the bears with some choice words. cutler is never going to be an elite qb, but he does...

right? but it's just about typical of our luck. was a brilliant play. was reading matt berry's column today and this Anyone who still thinks Mike Martz is an offensive genius. As Jeremy Lundblad of ESPN Stats & Information points out, when Jay Cutler throws more than 35 passes, Chicago is...

i think pete carroll will pull out all the stops to bring andrew luck to seattle. shame for manning, but like i said a few pages ago i think we've probably seen him throw his last football. very cheesed off with the bears. absolute tosh. they showed the game live over here and while i know...

lol. whoever said there is no atmosphere at an nfl game has obviously never tailgated outside one of the old school teams and then watched a bears packers or a jets pats type game. always had more fun at the nfl, you can drink, no little hitler stewards and everyone has been tailgating for the...

i'd quite happily give you a rundown of the rules to american football, but i really think the best thing is to watch a game from start to finish, or several games and learn that way. i think the wikipedia article is fairly easy to understand: American football - Wikipedia, the free...
