For any non-modified board though you can, I think Merc means.

You can consider the time spent in creatin the ball as lost money; the time could have been used to earn money. That way it is not entirely free, also the material could have been sold, or the ball itself. But if I keep going on about details like this, nothing of course is free. Exactly, but it's a good point. It's the reason for the phase: "nothing is free," which can be easily argued. Sorry didn't these replies till now :P Do you have a picture of the ball you created? I am genuinly interested in seeing what it looked like and how it was made. [i was also going to ask how did you get the leather or material for this ball? Did you skin your own cow to make it? (but Oy got to that point before me :wink: )] The point I was trying to make when I first questioned you about it was that it isn't free as in the sense that love, friendship, feelings or our senses are free. (and therefore isn't false) Those are what I think of when somone says the best things in life are free.

Robbie Neilson by any chance? Although I heard Ronaldinho was forced to become so skillful due to him not being heavily built when he was young. He only increased his build later, but kept the skills too.

Chips with mayo is really nice, but chips with coleslaw is nicer :P Weren't Americans trying to change the name of Fries to 'Freedom Fries' at one point? :? What happened with that?

Nice one. :) It had been annoying me for years.

Well we do have the "almost scammed" sticky in general because there was lots of scammed topics.

I don't care FuBai. I wont have have people calling someone who has just passed away 'an idiot'. It just causes pointless arguements and is offensive to some. Causes more grief than it's worth. If you don't like this then please don't post at all. End of discussion. Anymore off topic chat will be removed from this point.

Yes people in the poorest of the poor areas might make their own ball, but when was the last time you made one or even saw someone using a home made ball? I'm willing to bet that any time you have played football you either used a ball that you or someone else bought and therfore not free. But thanks for the defintion of the beautiful game there, I had no idea of what it was before you told me....... By your arguments almost anything that we can do these days can be free in a way, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way.

It is? Last time I checked, to play it you had to buy a football (amongst other things) and to watch it, it is far from free.

Removed some replies. Please be the least bit respectful, especially on a RIP thread.

Passed first time :) Good luck with your test today.

I think it's Firefox that does this, not the forum. It doesn't happen in IE or Opera I believe.

Scan for spyware. HijackThis log might help also. Are you using IE? Tried using the client or another browser like Firefox?

Oh yeah? Your country's food is horrible. :notalk: I'd advise you now to stop posting on this thread.

7 characters is a smiley or two. ':ohnoes:' is 8 in itself. The spammers know that posting smilies is a way round a character limit.

I know I thought the same. What were the big clubs thinking? They could have had these world class players if they really wanted. :shock:

When I small I burned all my fingertips after picking up a hot pan. Got blisters on most fingers. Only way I could get it from stop hurting was to sit all night with my hands in a bowl of cold water. :P

I'm quite a fast eater normally. A couple of my friends are the extremes though, one scoffs everything down really fast, too quickly for me to keep up. Another takes an age and chews every bite about 20 times, no matter what it is, before swallowing.

Blame the little kids who throw those words around as insults forcing the admins to censor them.

Strachan is a legend :P Gary Lineker: So Gordon, if you were English, what formation would you play? Gordon Strachan: If I was English I'd top myself!

Yeah, I've heard from a friend who's studying in Philly, that not only subsciptions for college are out of the roof, but books also costs loads more. I think 350ÃÆââââ¬Ã¡Ãâì a year will get me all of my books, and that's about 20 of them. Your books cost about ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã12 each?! The books I had to buy for uni cost about ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã30-ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã40 each. Also I thought that everything cost more here in UK comapred to USA? (not sure about Europe)

The publishers must be thinking all their dreams have come true. They will re-publish the books which students will buy because it will be an updated version and in the process will make lots of money.

What do you guys think of Obafemi Martins at Newcastle? I think he's gonna be a hit in the Premiership and that Newcastle got him cheap. Next week he's going straight into my fantasy team and hoping he does well. He's only 22 too so expect big things from him the future.
