Did you happen to watch the US v Italy game?  If so, what do you think of

suspended before for his crap calls.

 oWell after posting about our kitten being a bit of a late night party
animal last week she seems to be settling in nicely :) She is very
cuddly and purry and likes to ride on my shoulder. She doesnt really
know what fear is and has even taken on the vacuum cleaner while I was

Ok, Dh doesn't know the answer so I thought I'd ask you.  I know that if a
player gets a yellow card it follows him to the next match.  What I want to
know is, does it follow him until he gets another to equal a red card? Or

Katherine spends half her life in fairy land - no really, she does.
fairy land is a place where she is the princess and she can make others
into fairies. She is definitely in charge. Her friends all play along
and to be made into a fairy by K is apparently a great honour and they ...

What do you do with people who don't want to believe a doctor's diagnosis? I

Open University again... I knew the annual update of the curriculum was
coming... I had been waiting for it for ages, as the latest version of
the curriculum dictates which courses I can choose from. I had expected

the couch and both fell asleep.  Around 4:00 I hear someone frantically
banging on my front door.....so hard my house was shaking.  I just up and a

sling [which has an attached positioning pillow between the forearm and my
