Wales is pretty great. Free prescriptions, great scenery.
Just don't ask for a bag with your shopping...

Sounds like another brick-faced Liverpool academy prospect.
Yesssss.
Man I really dislike footballers FB pages when they are run by givemefootball.com. A good number of United players use this for their profile and they always post some outrageous shit.
EXAMPLE:
Right now VDS, Giggs, Anderson, Young just posted about how United are targeting and focusing in on nabbing Kevin Prince.....
It's like just stop, the odds that happens is just ridiculous and I haven't heard any inkling of Prince linked with United at all.

Are you from England or somewhere else? Just curious.
But I feel your pain. I moved from England because I was tired of everything just being HARD. Shops closed just when you get off work, all items have the "rip off Britain" mark up, everything takes a fucking line or some kind of extra paperwork that they simply "must" have.
On the plus side. Government services are of good quality (dont believe me, travel more). Finally living in an English Village is something I sorely miss and I think my kids are missing out on. Its probably one of the best lifestyles in the world, town and city life is a different matter though.
Oh the BAG thing. When we went back with the missus & kids they didnt give us a bag with our groceries. My wife just stared at them dumfounded then blurted out "Are you fucking kidding me?" Was amusing
Within the past several years and this season, yes. No one can honestly say otherwise, even people who hate Barca or Madridistas like myself still know, deep down, that they are the best team right now.
A more difficult question would be whether this current Barca team are the best side of all time. In my opinion, the greatest team of all time also has to be extremely influential in how the game is played, not just the team that wins the most trophies.
Personally, I think Ajax during the early 70's with Johan Cruyff is the greatest of all time. They brought a whole new tactic to football, and with Cruyff managing Barca during the late 80's/early 90's, eventually produced the type of football Barca play today (the "tiki-taka" style used by both Spain for the past decade and by Barca).
José Mourinho
cocknose
He's played you right in to his hands.
We can all go to the Billy Neill soccer school where Spain trained on the UEFA funded pitch... shockingly bad pitch that.
The prices are insane! Nearly everything feels like a rip off.
It is. Literally some prices were nearly the same amount of pounds as they are dollars in the states. It aint taxes either, ts just merchants gouging.
Seconded. Nice we've all agreed on that.
I'll shit in them as well.

TuttoGarbage were right about Pogtrayer
Reading up on HDTVs is the worst thing ever, spend 5h searching the web / forums and learned next to nothing (well except one thing: every TV apparently sucks) *frustrated*. Background: With the Euros and the Olympics coming up i decided against buying a Germany jersey and will put the money towards a new HDTV / HD channels instead (i currently have a crappy 32" Samsung without any HD Channels). Hope it will be worth it.

We did. They said that's not their problem.

I'm from Miami, Florida. Move there because of my wife.

Here's what you need to do. Decide on a budget and get the best Panasonic plasma you can with it, be it the ST, GT or VT model.

It's not so bad with shopping because we usually just take the trolley back to the car and unload from there. It's more annoying when you're taking out fast food. Fucking McDonald's give you a small bag and burden you with your burger box. A slightly larger bag would fit both items in easily.
Also, Kharma is oh-so-right on TVs. Go plasma and you're usually good to go.
Its terrible because you can't even carry it.
huh? Not their problem? How can they possibly make that out. The lines should be clearly visible although what a warden to be so picky without saying anything. An asshole in it's pure form.

I would never buy a plasma, LED or LCD TVs for me. Just personal preference.
Sweet. I lived in Miami for a few years. Great place. Dont blame you for getting ground down by the bullshit then. Very different vibe than the US.

Salazar, post the Nani goal and educate our young friend here.
I used to live in Miami as well, unless you lived in South Beach, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, etc. then much of Miami is a shithole like many areas of London, except with a lot more sun (for reference I also used to live in a nice area of London - Blackheath - and later a bit northwest outside of London).
But I can understand your frustrations with London and England in general, but where would you consider going?

At the moment we are heading back to Miami temporary until I get my visa to go live in Japan.
I lived on south beach. It was glorious
Yeah much of Miami is bloody awful though. I still remember my "jaunt" through Liberty City (this was back in 1990 maybe its better now). I feel lucky to be alive.
Exciting! That will be an adventure!

hehe thanks, i know they are supposed to be great but i would be in constant fear of burn-in / image retention problems. i'm a little bit paranoid with display related issues.
It's currently between these:
LG LM660 (http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/tvs/lg-42lm660t-review-50007644/)
Samsung UE40ES6710 (http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/tv-audio-video/television/led-tv/UE40ES6710UXXU )
Philips 40 PFL 5507 // 42 PFL 6007 // 42 PFL 7606 (cant find any english links)
Still note sure about active vs passive 3d. I'll just do some window shopping in the coming days and then order the one i like online.

All I know is of all the TV's my friends and I have bought, the Samsungs are always the best ones... Don't know model #'s just that they are Samsungs.
However I don't know how long they last as almost all of the TV's are under a year old

Then don't forget backlight bleed, ghosting and clouding that LCD sets can get amongst other things, not to mention input lag on them too...
Burn-in now on a modern plasma is near impossible unless you try and do it on purpose. As for retention, it can happen but with my plasmas if it happens it usually is only visible if you've no input on the screen, and fades within a few minutes.
All I'll say is, read the reviews on the new Panasonic's like this one - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0079WKGKG/ - and see for yourself how good they are

Although if you're in a room with very high levels of ambient light an LCD may be the way to go.
:bow Guardiola :bow.
This Copa victory also means that Tito's first official match as an head coach will probably be against Real Madrid in Super Copa.
still got more european cups and la liga trophies!
hope barca fans enjoyed pep's time @ barca cause i highly doubt they will be ever be this dominant

Yeah Samsungs are usually great. Guess cant go really wrong with any of these, planned to buy the Samsung but got tempted by the passive 3D TV's. I'll just see how they look in the store.

Thanks i'll add them to the list and look at them, but there's actually a lot of ambient light in my room so that is another concern.
I know about the LCD issues but at least they usually product related and not caused by misuse. I just came to the conclusion that there's just no perfect TV and all of them will have their strengths and weaknesses. So it's just an issue of what bothers me the most.
We'll if thats the case, YES PLEASE.
Real don't really need his services and I would love to have him on United, great player, injured every so often but still.
Just paypal'd him 50 million.
