Oh so very true, so very factual, bet you won't be toast of the ball now though... like Chris nearly puts on his posts.... You won't get into trouble for fibbing ... Ah now tell the truth may well ... ;D

Oh very true Duncan... Pyst. don't tell the rest of the Scots, but we never wanted your freedom lol ;D ;D ;D

And a great SPORTSMAN, like the other Scottish Olypians that won well... surprise you only mentioned Chris Hoy ... :-/ :-/ :B

As usual I can only echo Albears words. Yet somehow I feel that the thing(s) that did this will be even more sorry, as I sense Gill Brothers will resolve to be even better and that will rub salt into poor wounds. I certainly hope so.

;D Never was their oil, and the Shetlands are a part of ENGLAND, with an English address. Yes we have to support the Scots and Welsh and the Irish... That, I feel, is the real bug bind for them. Not self sufficient or able to live, let alone prosper without the English support and money. Even moreso now. ;D But as a true socialist I don't mimnd forking out each week for their up keep. the Education and all extra goverment benefits. We even pay them more benefits so that they can stay that side of the border, it is so sad really :( :( ;D ;D

Further Chriss according to MOST crowd reactions to him, he didn't endear himself to any other nation! Let alone friends... but his got mummy's money and a skill with talent, so what the heckers like.....

Yeah, but Tim Henmen wouldn't say 'I hate the Scottish, nor would he have wore the 'Hammer of the Thisle' for starters. And the English didn't wear Rogers colours. And Henman wasn't a Racist. Where not in public, and behaved like a Sportsman!

As we age, we tend to end up seeing more of the medical establishment. For example, my internist referred me to a female urologist. I saw her yesterday and she is gorgeous. She's beautiful and unbelievably sexy. She told me that I have to stop masturbating. I asked her why and she said, "Because I'm trying to examine you..." A husband and wife were sitting watching TV when he turned to his wife and said... 'Honey, tell me something that will make me Happy and Sad all at the same time.' She said ...'You have the Biggest Dick of all your Friends.'

Please read before viewing picture - it's worth it! A picture began circulating in November. It should be 'The Picture of the Year,' or perhaps, 'Picture of the Decade.' It won't be. In fact, unless you obtained a copy of the US paper in which published it, you probably would never have seen it. The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta . She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable Surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb. During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr.Bruner completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger. Dr.Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was j just frozen, totally immobile. The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the picture, 'Hand of Hope.' The text explaining the picture begins, 'The tiny hand of 21-week- old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life.' Little Samuel's mother said they 'wept for days' when they saw the picture. She said, 'The photo reminds us pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a little person.' Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful. Now see the actual picture, and it is awesome...incredible....and hey, pass it on. The world needs to see this one! AND to think thet do abortions at 24 weeks and want to extend that to 28 weeks. I have the picture if any one want to Email there addie.

Well plenty of takers here about for that lol.

Pumping petrol.... good things to know? Don't know how true this is, but it's interesting !! Quote: I've been in petroleum pipeline business for about 31 years, currently working for the Kinder-Morgan Pipeline here in San Jose , CA . We deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period from the pipe line; one day it's diesel, the next day it's jet fuel and gasoline. We have 34 storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons. Here are some tricks to help you get your money's worth: 1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning when the temperature is still cool. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and temperature of the fuel (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products) are significant. Every truckload that we load is temperature- compensated so that the indicated gallonage is actually the amount pumped. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations don't have temperature compensation at their pumps. 2. If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank. 3. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty), because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm. (Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 'roof' membrane to act as a barrier between the gas and the atmosphere, thereby minimizing evaporation. ) 4. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting. You should be pumping at the slow setting, thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered. If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains more vapor, which is being sucked back into the underground tank, so you're getting less gas for your money. Hope this will help ease your 'pain at the pump' PASS THIS ON- so that others may know too. THANKS,

I would lol ;D ;D

:-/ :-/ Exactly WHERE is the sportsman? Whatyou are saying is exactly right Sportsmen, regardless of ability and clas, ethnics etc. should all be reverved, ESPECIALLY by other sportsman. So harrky you more than answered your own question!!! Yes Gangster, he did well like I said.

The youtubes first eh! then ……… Cebu businessmen raise birds for fun, inter-island racing By Nancy R. Cudis - Sun Star (Philippines) MOST women have to invent various ways to persuade or coerce their husbands to engage in hobbies (like gardening and cooking) that would enable them to spend more time at home and bond with the children. But not the wives of 30 men, mostly businessmen, who have found joy in raising and racing pigeons. Like the pigeons that are known for their homing instincts, members of the Metro Cebu Racing Pigeons Association (MCRPA) have opted to stay at home. While tending and racing pigeons are mainly for recreation, MCRPA members see plenty of opportunities for business. MCRPA treasurer and STK Electronics manager Theodore Chiong Sy, for one, sells pigeons to fellow members. He imports his pigeons from Manila, Belgium and Taiwan. Sy said that a pigeon, depending on breed, would cost “several hundreds to several thousands of pesos each.” In his case, he paid about P10,000 for every bird he bought from Manila and about P20,000 for those from overseas. Loft These pigeons are then housed in lofts, which would cost the owners “another several thousands of pesos,” depending on size and number of pigeons to be accommodated. Sy said the small and simple loft for his 51 racing pigeons and 19 pairs of breeders is ideal for beginners. MCRPA president Benny Lim of Yale Hardware and vice president Jojo Oquias of Agrianimal and Aviva Agrivet installed lofts worth more than P100,000 each to shelter 100 to 251 pigeons, separately. MCRPA member Roberto Abarintos said taking care of pigeons and racing them is not only the hobby of the rich. This activity can also be participated in by all as one can raise a few pigeons and install a small loft, he added. Oquias, who shares the passion for pigeon racing with 22-year-old son Miguel, said the activity is also a “clean hobby” for young adults. MCRPA members sell racing pigeons to each other at prices ranging from P500 to P20,000, each, depending on the breed. Races But Sy, who originally came up with the idea of forming MCRPA, said that a one-year-old breeding pigeon and 25- to 30-day-old racing pigeons can already be sold since their homing instincts are not yet fully developed. At the MCRPA annual fund raising and “just-for-fun” races, members can also win trophies, certificates and cash prices. Next week, there will be four races from four south racing points—Dumaguete City in Oriental Negros, Dapitan City in Zamboanga del Norte, Ozamiz City in Misamis Occidental and Iligan City. In February 2009, there will be three races from northern areas—Naval in Leyte, Calbayog in Samar, and Masbate. In a race, participants use a Global Positioning System device to measure distance. The owner of the pigeon that is able to cover the most number of yards per minute wins. Members of the group whose ages range from 18 years old to 70 years old, said they find the activity exciting because their pigeons are faced with various challenges, like unpredictable weather, human and animal predators, and homing conditions. The MCRPA appealed to the public, though, not to hurt the pigeons. And then….. http://www.justforlaughs.com/videos/show/4979-changez-de-c-t-Gags_de_Cam%C3%A9ra_Cach%C3%A9e

Nah ... I don't like racists. Niether poor sporting persons that are suppose to uphold the position as Sportsmen. Also think it is a a terrible as a Role model to set examples like that to any and all up and coming youngsters! Mind credit due he did well. ... Still wouldn't pee in his ear if in side his skull was on fire.

A sportsmans definition. A person who can take loss or defeat without complaint, or victory without gloating, and who treats his opponents with fairness, generosity, courtesy, etc. Has no bias for lesser individuals, gender, intelligence, ability, has the presence of mind at all times of any inferiors in all and any context. A person that respects all and everyone no matter of their status, creed, sex, intelligence or ability. Is gracious in defeat, and benevolent in winning. Benevolence is the expression of kindness and altruism. In his book Unrugged Individualism, [[Objectivist] author David Kelley defines it as "a commitment to achieving the values derivable from life with other people in society, by treating them as potential trading partners, recognizing their humanity, independence and individuality, and the harmony between their interests and ours." Indeed until the grace of losing is achieve then the ultimate of winner is of no value. So obviously in this regards Andy Mucker stinks, so I, for one, would P**s in his ear if his brain was on fire.

Mind just shows how immature the twit is when has a phobia about being inferior to the English! Sure he has a lot to live up to, but way short on etigette and deplorum ... spelt for the jerk lol.

Nah, that yob mucky a jerk off. No respect, no manners, just a wealthy spoil rich kid. Blotted the cretin from my mind yonks ago. Two certs about him A. a plonker, and B. he'll never get piles.... God make him a perfect *expletive removed*. Mind, Nadal doesn't need any good luck he is classes above the moron.

No Nassem had bottle, and class, and had a good chin. No two ways about that. Just moved up a wieght too much and fought a tough natually bigger puncher. 'A good big un will always beat a good little un' is tha saying that you can mostly take to the bank.

Sorry Martins the spaniard thrashed him first, then the argentine. At the first bell Dai came out firing that beautiful jab of his into the Argentinean's face, followed up with right crosses. Perez, unflustered, fired off a left hook that connected and clearly hurt the challenger, this was followed up with a slamming, thunderbolt of a right that sent Dai crashing to the canvas and to first round defeat. Following the crushing world title defeat, Dai Dower went back to the army to finish his National Service; later vacating his British & Empire flyweight titles. He didn't fight again until the following year; a long break by his busy standards. January of 1958 saw Dower climb back between the ropes to defeat Eric Brett over eight rounds. This, however, was not the vintage Dai Dower that had gone before and the end was nigh. Dai Dower's final contest came with a 10 round points defeat at the hands of unheralded Canadian, Pat Supple. So he did get into the ring again....... drat and double drat lol ;D

Hate to remind you Chris. Dia Dower, fought bums and what not, and my dad use to laugh and say 'Wait till he fights anyone with any breath left in him'. How true, got clobbered big time by that little Brazillian and ... well don't know about ever fought again, NEVER fought really before lol ;D ;D

someting to do with paratyphoid which I honestly think is running riot throughout the pigeon game, up and down the country. My reason for thinking this way is simple. "A pigeon can be a carrier without showing any signs of illness whatsoever" Yet when it comes to breeding, these infected birds pass it down to their offspring causing death at the weaning stage to some, but NOT ALL. AND THE VICIOUS CIRCLE WILL CARRY ON FOREVER. Very true. And I was just about to ask why the dickens hadn't you consulted Johnny 11!!! He speaks well of you too... well did do lol ;D ;D

Believe you are right. have his write up etc. tucked away somewhere on a disc. Will have to look it up again sometime. Naturally feel I know... then other posts make me think twice. But am about right I believe.
