    Aw, sounds like my first car! i had a citroen 2CV, which i wish i'd kept, coz they're worth a lot of money now! In the winter, it would ice up inside the roof and as you drove along, the ice would blow into your face and make you think it was snowing in the car...brilliant! i loved that car...went abroad for a year and sold it to my dad, thinking i'd buy it back when i got home..but when i got home he'd sold it...gutted!

    yes, you did...how right you were...:(

    So we are left with Liverpool Vs Cardiff City in the final. Should be interesting.

    BUT!!! I told you that Liverpool only draw at home, and they did! They had to rely on the goal at the Etihad!

    I didn't watch the game, but from what I read Bellamy played very well tonight. How ironic that he was the star that kept Cardiff fans turning up, which helped to keep that club alive and all paid for by City. What a strange old world football is.

    I have done exactly this in the last two months, and wouldn't dream of returning to my old employer and trying to entice my former staff to come with me. That, to me, is completely unethical. You have one type of challenge in one environment and if you chose to leave for a new challenge somewhere else so be it, surely it is a test of your ability to be able to mould what you find to your own idea.

    Good luck to MM and DC at Wembley; it is how he acted just after he left that will cast a long and bitter shadow, if he had just gone fair enough. If you split up with a girlfriend you don't then go back and take her friends.

    Why are their football teams from Wales in the Football League? If Welsh are there why not have Scottish teams as well?

    I have always disagreed with having Welsh teams in the FA yet having them governed by the FAW. If they want to be in the English leagues, the deal with the English FA!!!

    P.S. Love the signature AK. If only we could all be like that!!!

    There has been a long history of Welsh teams playing in the English league. Wrexham, Newport County, Merthyr Town, Aberdare Athletic as well as Gyngor Caerdydd and Abertawe. Of course there is an English team, Berwick Rangers, that play in Scotland and I can remember the days when teams like Carlisle considered playing north of the border to save on travelling expenses.

    Also, the most recent one is the now-defunct Gretna were playing in the Northern Premier League before they were elected to the SFL, much to the annoyance of the others who applied.

    Morning all - to add some fuel to the Wales debate. You can understand towns that straddle or are very close to the borders playing across the borders, but that does not explain Newport, Cardiff and certianly not Swansea. What I really don't understand is that at the lower league level their are Welsh leagues and why the Welsh FA administer parts of the game played in England? My other concern is that their presence sets a precedent for the Old Firm clubs to also join the English leagues. A country with it's own parliament, it's own national team, it's own national body, it's own national leagues - well, all of their clubs should play in their leagues.

    What I find interesting is the rise of the Scottish manager, it's not something that has happend for a few years and it is great to see. I just wish we could have a few English managers of similar quality developing (SD excluded of course) - it's a bit poor when 'onest 'arry is positioned as the best English manager for years!

    Anyway, my best wishes go to MM as despite everything, I like him and wish him to do well - but I will grudingly want to the scousers to win.

    Bite on that....

    Sæll til allra. Cappuccino, coffee, tea donuts and fruit are on the bar.

    More snow and is colder today. I did not tell you we had a few earthquakes yesterday morning to the west of the city. Normally these are east or at the north end of the fjördur. All of the shakes were very small.
