Magpies?

A few reasons really. Mainly they are worn by people with the cold/flu in order to prevent the germs from spreading but we also have a lot of pollution in the air that drifts over from China. Winter is very dry here so wearing a face mask can help keep your throat/mouth moist. Japanese are very OCD! You should see what some wear to avoid the sun!

Yes mate.

That's fucking dark, Shandon!

Thanks mate. Appreciate that. Am sure Sakura will too PS Agreed. Nothing warms your heart like the sound of a giggling bairn!

My daughter's now on week 5 of 18weeks of chemotherapy and all is going as well as we could have hoped for. No side effects although she's starting to lose some of her hair but no nausea or sickness thankfully. Blood results have so far been good enough for the Pediatrician to allow her home between weekly injections although we have to be wary of exposing her to people infected with colds/flu etc. Like I said previously, we won't get an "all clear" for 5 years but our wee fighter is doing well thus far. Apologies, I don't mean to change the mood of this thread.

That's Paulo telt! Go easy on him mate. He'll be demanding Andy Murray is stripped of his knighthood if he fails to with the Australian Open now that Djokovic has now been knocked out!

There is a player in Juanma but his pendulum type attitude means he's a complete passenger when not in the mood.

My daughter has my wifes surname here in Japan but mine in the UK. Even I get confused!

I bet they said that in the early 1920's with the start of the art deco era.

in fairness at least Chelsea's proposed new ground is differing from the bog standard shite that's been churned out by Architects over the last 20 years.

My wife hasn't taken my surname. It's actually easier to change mine to hers over here but not sure I'd suit as my surname.

I can relate to the food bit by Riorden in China. My first trip to the supermarket in Japan took me 2.5 hours! You can feel quite isolated and dependant on others at first because of everything being so different. No excuses for struggling in Italy though.

Famously wasn't a Nazi.

Good enough for the c***s I say.

A girl I went to school with started and invited me to a group called "support for estranged adults" on the pretense that her family abandoned her and definitely nothing to do with her faking having cancer and conning money out of them.....

Danny Wilson, Adam Eckersley, James Keatings, Scott Robinson, Jason Holt, Kevin McHattie, Miguel Pallardo, Gary Oliver, Kenny Anderson, Genero Zeefuik, Dale Carrick and Brad McKay all left after helping Hearts win the Championship.

You'd be talking about a ladyboy so you'd be better off asking @mrcat1990. He's the one with carnal knowledge of ladyboys on here.

why?

Any fighter ranked in the Top 20 by the WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF at each weight division?

Then surely this benefits the more informed boxing fan and will expose the "casual" fans out there on P&B? I personally don't claim to have even half the knowledge of some Posters on here but am willing to have a go......why not you?

ow can it be a lottery? It's a 50/50 at worst!

and this surprises you?!

Very true. Great point.
