It wouldn't be amusing if no English people posted though.

I don't care. 700 years of oppression? Fluff's manner and quiet dignity has turned me around on the whole thing.

COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!

It's a complex situation and we have a lot of work to do before we start really putting what happened in the last 25 years behind us (and the politicians are certainly not helping, since it's in their interest to keep the status quo) but I think a lot of young people are over that animosity nowadays, or they should be at least. At least the more educated, erudite ones. I imagine people who join this forum are not the typical balcanic types.

I have no problems with serbs, only with hate-mongering people (of any nationality).

In.

For our American posters considering getting involved (Charles and Ki) now is a good time. The first semi final tonight, France vs Belgium. Two big hitters. World class players everywhere. Starts in ten minutes.

Action all round atm.

Can't call it.

Now we may move on to the mollification portion of this article. Many people have a strong belief that the proper use of nauseous is the one which may be defined as "causing nausea or disgust," and that if you wish to say that a person feels as though their stomach will disgorge its contents then nauseated is the word to use ('I feel nauseated, rather than 'I feel nauseous'). We do not disagree that this is a fine and specific manner in which to use nauseous, and if this is the way in which you learned how to use the word you may continue to do so. However, we must point out that nauseous, like many other words in our language, is remarkable in its elasticity and range of meaning, and its applicability in the context of "I'm gonna hurl" is neither incorrect nor relegated to the unlearned.

I think 215/100 to draw during regulation is a good bet. So I made it.

Fair enough. I only know what we ignorant Irish know of the Bosnia conflict of the 90s.

So that's 2-1? I wouldn't have thought those were great odds, but then again, given that so many of the recent matches have ended that way before (and after) extra time, maybe...
