Nice pics guys. :)
@exterminator: I didn't know it was that cold in India.. (was it taken in India? or the airconditioning is just high? :D)
@Sid: Nice to see you around, btw. :)
@cilu: Why do you always look serious? Try smiling next time! ;) (or maybe... there's no reason to smile?) :D
That was probably taken in winter and I must have just reached office.. :D .. I don't remember exactly... :ehh: By the way, I comparatively feel much colder.. Cold is dangerous for me..Quote:

I believe Kiran wasn't referring to the Euro logo as a whole, but the single star just on top of your head. Really looks like a crown... :DQuote:

Well, that's correct - but Stuttgart is not that far from Frankfurt.Quote:

It's even much nearer. Frankfurt - Stuttgart is 150 Km bee-line (that means about 200 Km road or roughly 1 hour by train).Quote:

Nice picture Graham. Who do you think will win the Six Nations Tournament this year? England seems in pretty good shape.
We're looking good at the moment. My worries are that (a) Andy Robinson is too conservative - he should be blooding players like Abbott, Lund and Simpson-Daniel; (b) France are just going to get better, and we have to play them at Stade Francais. Shouldn't discount Scotland, either; if they can get a good result against Wales, they're going to have their tails up when we go to Murrayfield, and they always raise their game against the Auld Enemy.
BTW: has anyone recognised the house in the background?
The stade français is the name of a Parisian team (yes, it's a weird name), so I suppose you meant the stade de France, which is a stadium (located in ... France).
The Scots played very well, and they might win against England.
And, don't forget to tell us what's that isolated house in the background, probably built between 1850 and 1950.
Well, it's definitely not the place where James Joyce was born, nor is it Bono's home... Any other Irish celebrity who's house we should be aware of? ;) :DQuote:

Apparently, there's an American version in the pipeline.
You're right, of course. In my defense, it's a common British habit to refer to a stadium by the name of the team that plays there. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it...:)Quote:

Father Ted's premise - three priests living and working together on a bleak Irish isle - seemed to suggest similar fare, but nothing could have been further from the truth.
This looks like it's going to be a tough day for the Irish. 19 - 0
I had the luck of being in Tolouse a couple of years ago when some rugby veteran World tournament was going on.
Although I was not able to go at the stadium, the schedulle did not allowed it, the atmosphere in the city was brilliant. Especially during the night arround the pubs. Those guys really love to sing and drink and sing some more. Or viceeversa. :D
EDIT: 43 - 31 This is geting all better but this is one weird match. :D
cilu: yep - it's the house that was used to film the Father Ted programs. If you ever get the chance to see Father Ted, do so: probably not to everyone's taste, but (IMO) very funny.
Last year, I travelled over for the Agen-Sale game. Toulouse were playing Llanelli on the Friday night so, since a lot of us were flying in to Toulouse, we all went along to Stade Ernest Wallon. What an atmosphere! I have never been amongst such noise - the drummers, the cheering, the chanting: it was incredible. And, amongst all that, a bunch of a couple of dozen mad English people chanting "Sale, Sale", much to the amusement of the locals (given that "sale" means "dirty" in French).Quote:

So Italy - England ended 16 - 31. I would have expected a more clear victory for England after the display in the first match, especially against Italy. ;)
Italy are progressing well under Berbizier - he seems to be doing something right.
France could have won by a huge margin today but even so I am not yet convinced it would have been all true. The Irish just made too manny mistakes.
recently found a digital camera
my photo.yesterday :) :cool:
Nice Photo Mehdi! :wave:
Yeah, nice one mehdi! ;) :wave:
nice one, mehdi62b :thumb:
Nice smile mehdi... :wave: you are back with a bang! :)
Nice pic, mehdi. :) :thumb:
My latest photo, scuba diving on the great barrier reef. Taken about a week ago.
Dann I really need to start travelling, all what you can find here on the bottom of Baltic Sea is a container with yperite and some mutated creatures :|

Nice photo, Deniz. :)
You should try scuba diving at Grotto one time. It is one of the best cavern dive sites here in Saipan, NMI.
That looks incredible Cherish. :thumb: :cool:Quote:

Looks like fun though... :cool:
You're right, its kinda tricky to go scuba diving there. And I do believe that one has to be with a certified diving instructor before diving there. :) But if you looked at the second link on my first post about Grotto.. there's a list of diving companies (not sure if "company" is the right word) that offer a short training before diving there. I mean, a lot of Japanese tourists (among others) go here just to dive there. I think its a package deal... training + diving with a diving instructor to guide you through.Quote:

First picture, you can see Man Utd's logo. :cool:
Second picture, we are inside an igloo that we built.
The third picture, we had a snow fight (:D). In case you wonder, I'm the one in the middle. ;)
