MLS isn't a football federation, it's a league...in the USA. And that's the country that calls football 'soccer' but otherwise good point well made.:ffsparr:

I like that, cheers. I've long maintained that the French don't do mediocre when it comes to music. It's either brilliant or spectacularly rubbish. I don't know if you've heard of another Frenchman called Mr Day but he's well worth checking out. This track is worthy of Paul Weller I reckon...

I discovered that short story via the Ghost In The Shell Anime boxset bizarrely enough. There's a lot of references to Salinger and it turns out that the Japanese have a love affair with his writing.

Otherwise known as Selhurst Park.

Eh? I think Jamaica and Britain might take issue with you on that one.

Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Larry Page have all made a bit of a difference to our lives too.

It was almost certainly posh boy, public school slang though to differentiate between rugby and football and that's why it has always sounded wrong and why we and the rest of the world say 'football'. It's FIFA, EUFA, CONCACAF, FA, OFC, CAF. All those letter Fs and not a single letter S in sight.

Their big day innit, the 4th of July. Despite their thick as shit President, their obsession with race, the mangling of the English language, their weird way of writing the month before the day, Adam Sandler, their 'thing' with guns and their whooping when polite clapping would suffice, there's...
