Trust me implicitly when I tell you with three loads of laundry every day, three boys, two girls and and two adults, factor in what I do for a living and the conditions I work in..... I need something that cleans properly! Tide and Sunlight HE never do the job.

Dunno, I just use "no name" liquid and it gets even the shittiest diapers clean, the detergent chemistry is all basically the same, and I cant tell the difference myself<shrugs>. We used to buy the name brand stuff, but not anymore. With the cheap stuff its not so painfull to put more in, which is probably the most important factor anyway.

Now, Kleenex bog roll, thats another thing :) . They started to sell it here in Walmart, but its dissappeared again and now we can only get it in really expensive tiny 4 pack rolls at the local drugstore. An expensive luxury compared to domestic arsefodder, but one we cant do without now :(

Ditto. I dreamt of living in a high-rise flat because of M, M & M. I was so jealous of people living in council flats in towns when I was little :o Towns also had mysterious fancy-dress shops that led to strange lands. It all seemed very exotic from my little village.

I was also in the Tufty club, remember Spangles and once choked on a Blob (bet nobody remembers them, and Secret Agents).

Strawberries and Cream Blobs!!!!!!!!!! In a tube, vile flavours like cola and treacle and pear etc?

Re: Waving the flag for England
 

Those were the things. I think it was a strawberries and cream one I choked on. Couldn't eat them after that.

It now appears the England has a built in excuse if they don't do well.

'Success without Rooney? Impossible', fears Gerrard

Oh Blimey! MR. BEN! :D I used to watch that with my friends little brother when we baby sat him (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! :p )

Re: Waving the flag for England
 

Don't lose faith

We've won games before without Wayne Rooney :scared: :D

Don't we always have major drama before a big tournament? thats what get us all involved and talking about it

Rooney or no Rooney it won't stop me screaming and shouting at the ref or the TV for that matter.

Anyone watch the Lineker and Maradonna interview on BBC last night?

EN-GER-LAND EN-GER-LAND COME ON LADS :D

Re: Waving the flag for England
 

Last time I checked, football was a team sport.

Hmmm...

Is everybody implying that England's team is built around one player? :rolleyes:

Imagine the damage all this is doing to the confidence of the rest of the squad. It's like saying "You're all shit. Rooney's the only good player we've got."

Re: Waving the flag for England
 

I have to agree Mr Lee

Although Wayne Rooney is a fantastic player and will be missed by the team

we also have other Fantastic players, which other countries are envious of and given the chance would'nt disclued and demoralise them.

Come on as a country lets get behind our boys and not drag them down
Its time to stand up and be proud, we have a good team, we've more chance of winning the world cup than ever before.

Re: Waving the flag for England
 

i would have been more concerned losing Stevie G or Big Frank..... can't remember any goals Rooney scored during qualifying but I may be wrong. He will be missed for sure but hey .... enjoy the summer in the pub !

Re: Waving the flag for England
 

Same thing happened to Beckham last time right and we adapted and survived. Loosing Rooney (which seems pretty certain now) is a big blow for sure, he's a class player (if not a classy player), but we still get to play at least three games anyway :p

We still have a lot of good players, I think a lot rests on Joe Coles creative abilities now and how they can get structure the team to get him involved.

Re: Waving the flag for England
 

He may not have scored during the qualification stage but his presence more than make up for the lack of goals. He is such a handful and will cause any defence problems. As for Gerrard. I can't remember the last decent game he had for England. Lampard is class I agree. Bottom line is our chances are severely diminished without Rooney in the team.

Re: Waving the flag for England
 

Sorry - but the proof is in the results! Since I got my miele washer and the persil after ten years of the local crap (IMO), I see a dramatic difference :)
