Many years ago (20+) at my place, you could enter the bar for a pint after a social round and the barman would ask you how you got on... if you were stupid enough to pipe up with something like "played really well today, managed 39 points" he would automatically cut you two shots. (For absolute...

I've watched a lot of the curling and have to disagree. It is hugely technical, highly tactical, somewhat psychological....almost a combination of chess and bowls on ice. The margins between a great shot and a poor shot are very fine indeed. The ice has many variations...not just in the two...

Useless defending. Spurs first corner in the 63rd minute and they score from it. Haven't been in the game this second half. Burn needs bringing off for Lewis Hall. Barnes off, move Gordon to the left and bring Wissa or Woltemade on through the middle to ask Spurs a different sort of question...

Well...eventually we made the pressure pay...one goal disallowed by the depth of a palyers haircut but then a good bit of sharp poaching by Thiaw off his own saved header to grab a narrow lead at the break. Not sure Spurs can play as badly in the second half so I reckon we could do with a early...

Spurs nailed on for a win here. Newcastle all over Spurs but not creating decent opportunities....gonna be made to pay eventually.

Was originally developed/adapted from the material used by Waterskiers in their gloves. I'm sure technology has moved on since then and more modern materials are now used

I'm 44" chest and bought a large....it fits OK. There is quite a range of adjustment in the chest strap and at its shortest it can go to 37" and at its longest about 55" (so +/- 5 inches from the quoted). I reckon the quoted sizes on the TRS site are conservative in their range so I would not...

So in the Olympic Speed Skating, a Korean skater in the relay was taken out by an American who fell, effectively ending Korea's hopes of qualifying for the final. Korea raised an appeal......but in order to do so, they needed to submit their paper appeal along with a $100 note.....they had to...

Wow....Short Track Speed Skating RELAY....never seen it before....looks like chaos to me but I'm sure someone knows what's going on!!!!

What I like so mcuh about the Winter Games is the attitudes the athletes show towards their fellow competitors....there seems to be a real sense of community amongst the athletes and they seem genuinely pleased for each others success. This was no more evident than in the closing stages of...

Whilst indulging in a few beers and an online chat late on Friday with some like minded brewing folk, I swung my swivel chair away from my desk and caught the left side of my left knee on the sharply angled edge of the small filing cabinet that sits under my desk. To be fair, I've done it...

I dont think so...in most of the clips the folk in the background didn't seem to be remotely interested in the camera....plus they were quite blurry even though only stood a few yards behind the "speaker"...cameras have better depth of field than that.

Robert Lee had a goal disallowed for Newcastle against Brentford after shooting from inside his own half. The reason why the goal was disallowed?....the opposition keeper had tried a poor through ball (that was intercepted by Lee and hit towards goal pretty much instantaneously) towards a...

It does...but it doesn't lock it (your right arm) into a fixed position relative to your body....other similar body/arm strap systems have a fixed linkage so your right arm has absolutely no freedom to move independently from the body. As you say...the balls keep your arms together.
