I got corrected by a student for making a spelling mistake the other day

A thing which annoys me about the way sports results are mentioned over here is that if someone says a score they always say the home team's score first when we would usually say the score of the winning team first. So if I was to ask what the Aberdeen score was on saturday they'd say "nil - one". Not that anyone here would use the word nil or know the aberdeen score.

Even if I was a fan of The View I doubt I'd want to see them on Hogmany. And are they really that popular? I haven't heard anything from / about them since they had that song about wearing jeans a few years back. Then again I have no idea who Twin Atlantic are.

I just get my friends to leave comments on my geocities website.

I get where you're coming from but as you say either is technically correct and i'm sure using "are" sounds just as jarring to many Americans or Aussies. It's not just sports teams, they do it any collective noun, such as bands. For some reason it actually sounds worse to me with bands.

For a squad of over 20 players to only have 1 reading champion is pathetic. More reading champions is the key to success.

So the Ballon D'or is between Messi, Ronaldo and Xavi this year. Nothing surprising about that.

Soda Jerk is just making excuses. He hates the outside world, too many people. I bet his gf waits outside while he goes in to check if there are any empty seats. Even if the pub is deserted he says there's not even standing room and they go home.

I liked it. That's the extent of the review I can be bothered giving right now.

I'll watch it tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

I will do a list later, i'm not ready yet. I need to the Black Keys and the roots to really sink in.

Same here, a forecast a few days ahead seems fairly reliable here. You can easily plan weekends around it etc.

I'll never like Gareth Barry but it's not really his fault.

Harsh but it was a game packed full of ifs and buts. Newcastle had many chances in the second half but it also could have been 3 a lot earlier if Sturridge had had his shooting boots on. Then again there is the whole Luiz incident.

3 is harsh. Very harsh.

Riding our luck to say the least in the last 15 mins.

Bloody hell, off the bar at one end. Then ramires looks certain to score.

The internet forum poster's curse strikes again. Smashing header.

Commentators do that in every match ever though. Mental this game is still 0-0

Fuuuuuuck. Would have been krul on Newcastle to go behind though. Sturridge is killing them though.

Wowsers. Ref bottled it totally.

Gullit's a bit of a knobber though. Even though he is partly responsible for me being a Chelsea fan.
