    I think it's funny that phones are getting bigger again so they can be used for everything. You might as well have a tablet stuck to your ear with some of them. I am of the opinion that if I keep my phone long enough it will probably come back into fashion :cool:

    My brother had one of the original suitcase-sized phones....which weighed a ton, but useful when he was on building sites. If they made phones bigger you could keep your sandwiches in them...now that would be useful. :)

    Scientists have identified a new dwarf planet in our Solar System, and it’s lurking way out in the edges, some 13.6 billion km (8.5 billion miles) from the Sun.

    The Iowa-sized object - for now known as 2014 UZ224 - takes 1,100 years to complete a single orbit of the Sun, and could soon join the ranks of the five established dwarf planets in the Solar System: Ceres, Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and most famous of all, Pluto.

    A new planet discovered in our solar system...2014 UZ224. It's name fair trips off the tongue, doesn't it? :)

    Kyrgios throws a match in Shanghai....and say he doesn't owe the paying public anything. He's done this once before and even admits he doesn't like tennis much. He's obviously a rather odd person....it would probably be better for the tennis supporting public if he gave up and retired and would be better for himself as he must be stressed in some way. It is a bit of a shame as he could be a better player than we have seen so far, but what's the point of doing this to himself or to tennis fans.

    Saw that earlier on SSN and was absolutely disgraceful. To quite obviously not even try like that just isn't on.

    Kyrgios is an absolute brat and needs to be banned for those comments. Ungrateful, classless, a total prat and can play some wonderful tennis but he's made an idiot of himself too often for it to be "funny" any more.

    The comments were bad enough but have you seen the clips? On his serve lightly tapping it over the net and then walking out of the way of the return...

    Absolutely disgrace.

    I meant to write that he should be banned for his "play" as well. Typical disgustingly well paid sportsman who doesn't even consider how much fans have to pay to go and watch a sport that they love and how insulting his actions are. I'd have booed him too.

    Have never liked the man much, but he seems to be having mental problems....so I wish him well.

    Attention-seeking idiot. His 'bad-boy' image has developed purely because he loves attention. Maverick talent but nowhere near consistently good enough to be amongst the best.

    Thank you Jessica Ennis!! She has been a wonderful champion and have conducted herself with complete modesty in both her triumphs and in her defeats. No doubt she will be in the commentary box at next year's World Championships!!

    Maybe his fellow countryman, the brilliant Pat Rafter, should have a word with him about his conduct!!

    Considering the way they treated Sharapova *, this twat should be kicked out for life IMHO .

    Not to mention other greats like Rod Laver, Tony Roche, John Newcombe, and Pat Cash. All of them had brushes with the tennis establishment, but they were all players of such genius that the public loved them regardless.
