I don't speak much German but Van Gaal certainly seems to be showing them who's boss :smallgrin.gif:

Thank you for the fantastic pics !! Also, congrats to The Tangerine Dream for a nice away result today. ESPN 360 showed WBA v. NUFC , but I was able to catch some highlights on Sky Sports News.

Cheers re the photo's, and re the game you've seen more than me then, I didn't go and haven't caught any of it on TV yet. Good result though, tbh I'm still a bit haunted by a previous 1st day of the season (9th August 2003 - 6 years ago today I just checked) also away at QPR, I went, paid a fortune for a ticket and we lost 5-0. Haven't actually been back since.....

If you don't mind... Please help me out with a bit of research for work... This will take less than 5 seconds:

Go to www.ajaxusa.com/test-page-1 and click on one of the two links in the page you see.

Thanks!

Do you feel a sense of accomplishment? If so, that is your prize. If not, then there is no prize. :smallgrin.gif:

I suppose I feel a small sense of usefulness and added self-worth that I was the first one to help in your need (or at least to post here when I'd done it).

Whatever you were trying btw did it work?

Yes, in fact. I'm researching Google Web Optimizer as a service for use by my company. Having my own (dormant) web site makes it easy for me to test. Those Google kids are really clever. It's a nice service.

Lucky to be at the 5th Ashes Test at the Oval yesterday where we took the convicts apart in the second session. Anyway the leader of our group was the owner of East Stirling up there in the Scottish 3rd Division + an ex player (Rob Scott) and now manager of Boston United. Played in the premiership but it appears that his greatest claim to fame is this own goal on Youtube

Driving on the Dutch motorway, lesson #1.

Always look forward. Keep your eyes on the road, so that you can see what's happening in front of you. Do not gaze at things such as:
- your hands on the steering wheel
- the front of your car's CD player
- the trees on the side of the road
- the inside of your eye-lids
- pretty women in other vehicles
etc.

Understood? So, this is WRONG.

(By the way: people are always moaning that it takes the ambulance ages to get there. They can't complain this time. It arrived in seconds...)

Wow - I know baseball players have to wear some padding but that's one hell of a big shirt!

NB - I know this one would have worked much better with NFL or NHL but good old trusty Google tels me LA Angels are a baseball team.....congratulations to them.
