Nov 16, 2005 11:02 am Happy birthday yo. 30 isn't THAT old. I'll be in shock when I turn 25 in about 15 months..lol.
Nov 16, 2005 11:04 am I'll be 40 in a year and a half and Ihave yet to make any big deal out of any age, people always do the "whoa, you're [insert age]"...big deal, better every damn year.
Nov 16, 2005 11:32 am Happy birthday, i'm four months behind you buddy.
Nov 16, 2005 11:39 am Just turned 43 ten days ago...I just keep geting better looking every day!
Happy Birthday, Bleak!!
Nov 16, 2005 11:40 am Good on you, Bleak. Happy birthday.
I turned forty last month. It was relatively painless. I didn't do my thirties very well...
The Aussies are in the world cup! It's been a long time. Actually, I think the last time was before you were born! HAHAHAHAH!
England have a lot of work to do to be contenders.
P.S. I won't mention the Ashes.
Nov 16, 2005 11:40 am I love how threads like this make everybody else (myself included) chime in with how old they are!
Nov 16, 2005 11:48 am Well a couple more days and I will be 43. This is the time when life actually gets better. I don't regret getting older at all. The kids are older and can look after themselves (well sort of - lol). A bit more disposible income for guitar/music goodies. Still playing hockey so at least my body is not falling apart yet. Slower yes but I'm still doing all the things I like to do. More than when I was younger as I couldn't afford to do a lot of the things I like to do now.
Nov 16, 2005 12:10 pm A lot of Scorpios.....
If you're into that sort of stuff.
Just trying to make Bleak feel better about things!
Except for the Ashes....
Doh....sorry.
Nov 16, 2005 12:22 pm Its just another step on the ladder of life,some of us can't look down, its too scary!

Nov 16, 2005 03:11 pm Happy Birthday Bleak! Have a great day. :)

Nov 16, 2005 04:44 pm Happy Birthday from across the ditch bleak!
Nov 16, 2005 08:30 pm Big happy B-Day to ya Bleak. Like dB said, its just another B-Day, gettin older is great. The girlies call me sir and smile. I look good with gray hair and beard. I have Peter Pan syndrome and ll my kids friends think I am the greatest/coolest dad on the planet and that I rock. I dont worry about being a bit overwieght exept for the health side of it.
So enjoy it and live it, it only gets better.
And see Jim, I didnt say how old I am.
Nov 17, 2005 07:31 am Ah, happy belated birthday duder...
At 30 you should KNOW better tho...get yersel following the Hibs and ye wont go wrong my man!!
At the tender age of 27 (Almost) I feel the age thing now...though, thats perhaps a hint of paranoia in there tae...the auld man (faither) is bald so I hope (As scientists) have suggested, baldness SKIPS a geneation...good for me....bad for the boy!! hahaha.
Cheers

Nov 17, 2005 02:59 pm Thanks Guys! It doesnt feel any different as it turns out!
Thanks for all the well wish's!
Tall Chap - Can't take the ashes away from you mate! England we're too good!
They're back in their box now but thanks to Pakistan :)
Nov 17, 2005 04:11 pm Hey Bleak. No, it doesn't feel any different.....
As for the cricket, I think the winner was the game itself. This year saw some tremendous cricket being played (hats off to the Pakistan team, that was a thriller). The Second Ashes test is being hailed as the greatest test ever. That shows the level of play by both sides. There was never a clear winner, right up to the end. Incredible bowling by the Baggies.
Nov 17, 2005 07:44 pm Yeh, I gotta say it was an amazing series! Great for English cricket too! IT was a big risk scheduling the Ashes at the same time as the premier league starting but it paid off!
Nov 17, 2005 09:25 pm happy birthday man. i think i mentioned elsewhere that this age thing comes and goes for me. i remember feeling old at 20, 21, 22, and then not old at 23 and 24. then old at 25, and not old at 26 27 and 28. a little old at 29. by 30 and 31, where i am now, i realize completely that its just numbers that either sound old or dont.
lol
Nov 17, 2005 10:17 pm TRINIDAD and TOBAGO IS IN THE WORLD CUP TOO :D:D:D:D we been trying and almost got in 1973 then 1989 and then now and we are in :D:D:D:D:D.....we are the smallest country in the world cup too.....the only other english caribbean island ever made it was jamaica in 1998.......this is our first time
Nov 17, 2005 10:20 pm wait i now read the post....u talking about cricket or football?
Nov 17, 2005 10:33 pm BOTH!
But Your right :) We were talking aoubt Australia making the world cup of Footbal!
Infact we were watching T&T closely too as we have Dwight Yorke playing for SYdney FC now.
Nov 18, 2005 07:25 am Aye....good on ye General FYAH...the main wee man Russell Latapy (who used to play for my main club i.e. Hibs) hails from the auld T&T...so, good luck to ye man.
And Bleak, hope ye's dae well in the World Cup...
Go on...
Coco.
Nov 18, 2005 11:27 am Does he play for Falkirk now?
And cheers Coco! Lets carry on and win it now :)
Nov 18, 2005 01:41 pm Yea man York been a good captain....we blessed with sooo much talent u know for a country this small.......Latapy didn't have his best game for the last 2 agains bahrain tho...well in the second one he had a better game.....he didn't start the match but came on second half...he is the lil magician u know........but that goal we score to got in...Dwight took the corner and Dennis Lawrence(one of our defenders) head it in........it kinda remind me of the beckham and york combinations...but just opposite......but york isn't playing forward like he used to in the days, the coach put him in mid feild cause of his experience u know and its working great....i guess if we had someone with a foot like beckham the coach woulda put him up front
Nov 19, 2005 10:57 am Australia and T&T in the final :) why not! If two 'sox' teams can win the world series, 2 years running, i reckon there is hope for the rest of of us!
I dont even know what that means :) I just heard on the news that it was a big deal!!!
Some curse was finally lifted for the white sox trading babe ruth many, many years ago.
Nov 19, 2005 11:01 am (please read as the guy from Police academy)
Many, Many, Many Years ago!
Nov 19, 2005 11:38 am Yer right there Bleak. It was long ago. Good luck by the way in the WC, not sure the US can make it all the way, but hey their in and no one thought they would be.
Nov 19, 2005 12:55 pm Ye know, the commentator made a good point on the telly before Scotland V USA friendly last week.
You guys have 300 MILLION peeps (we have 5 mill by the way :-) ...
Anyway, if you had a big drive over there and got the fitba going big time, with that number of people, even if only 5-10% turned out to be good, youd whoop everyones ***!!!!
Whereas us, well we have 5 mill.....see, the maths compute...you could take over the fitba world if ye wereny all mad for the grid iron and baseball....ach well...leaves it to us Scots to show ye a thing or two :-P ! hehehe
Coco.
Nov 19, 2005 02:01 pm I think your very right there coco. If indeed the sport was popularized more over here as an adult sport instead of just for kids we might get something going.
Nov 19, 2005 04:04 pm Bleak! the numbers are just physical man! i just turned 30 too but when i was 19 time stops.... i still feel the same inside! Happy Belated Birthday!!!
Nov 19, 2005 04:36 pm Happy Birthday to da Bleak-man - don't worry, one of these days (Lord willing), you'll wake up and be 50!!! 'Course, by then the belly will be fightin' with the 3rd leg as to who's gonna hang lower....
As for you others, I wanna know why I can't find any cricket or football/soccer on my "free" TV in the US? Why do I have to pay $15.95 satellite per game, or $395 for the season(s)??? They're even starting to do that with the baseball, basketball & NFL football here, now!!! They're turning me into a cooking show watcher! lol
Nov 19, 2005 07:37 pm i just found out theres an NFL europe league. why did i never heard of that.
anyone have any theories why people arent more into fitba (soccer) here in the states?
Nov 19, 2005 07:49 pm Yeah, quite often NFL teams send up and comers to Europe to play in that league to get better. I believe The Vikes sent Brock Lesner there...I STILL think he shoulda come back, he showed a hell of a lot more strength, heart and passion in the scrimmages I saw than some of the guys that are playing now...
I love soccer, always have, always will, I loved to play it all thru grade and middle school. My high school was too small to support soccer and baseball at the same time of year so I never got to play in high school except in neighborhood games and stuff, which was a bummer, cuz it had always been my best sport, Basketball and soccer were my sports as a school kid...I used to go to Minnesota Kicks games, but the league never took off. I even have a succer ball signed by all the Kicks, it's still in my "box o' memorabilia".
Nov 19, 2005 07:53 pm yea man, and it seems like it have to do with the scouters too....cause we have 1.3 million alone and we give US alot of trouble and beat them now and then....but with this squad we have right now i sure we could beat them right now lol
Nov 19, 2005 07:56 pm why do americans call that game football when they mostly use their hands???? and why do they call football, soccer????? and 98% of the time u use yuh foot.....even the countries who dont speak english say "football" or something resembling the word
Nov 21, 2005 10:19 am Soccer is a contraction of "AsSOCiation Football" I think.
T&T, USA, Australia, all in the WC. Very cool.
It's about time we had some variety in there.
There's been about twelve nations who consitently get in the final....Nice to see these teams mixing it up.
Nov 21, 2005 06:37 pm When is the draw, early December? I cant get a schedule from my cable provider as to what is going to be telivised and when. Maybe ESPN will cover it.
Nov 21, 2005 07:21 pm i hope T&T gets an easy group..so maybe we could make it out of the group into the Quater finals and make more history for my country
Nov 21, 2005 07:50 pm I'd like to see both our countries make it to the quarter final's.

Right you are TallChap
By 1889, the abbreviation socca' was in use, and the spelling soccer had made its appearance by 1895.
Nov 22, 2005 03:14 pm Thanks again to everyone for the well wishes!
Noize - I think the Draw is on the 9th of December!
Funny thing, Australia is like 12 fav to win it! Still a massive long shot but hey, If Greece can win the Euro who knows :)
Nov 22, 2005 10:49 pm Thanx Bleak. I did find a site with the slotted dates and such, and info on who is in. They just put up the draw date today. I didnt notice any rankings on that one though, I will have to check a few more out to see were the US is ranked.
Nov 26, 2005 02:52 pm man u see the talent i talking about what my country has....look brian lara break another record yesterday against australia :-D.....we have footballers in clubs in europe and america, runners, a swimmer.....everything and we only got 1.3 million people lol
Nov 28, 2005 03:29 am Lara is a once in a lifetime batsman thats for sure. Im so glad he got a big century here. most likely his last ever tour to Australia.
Nov 28, 2005 04:27 am Quote: AUSTRALIA IS IN THE WORLD CUP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you guys will be coming over here in 2011 then :-)
Nov 28, 2005 02:55 pm The way Australia is playing Rugby i think we'd be battling to beet a Sydney girls under 12's side let alone win that one :)
