Not convinced if Dundee have the consistency to keep up the challenge. But signing Burley and Rathersmelly will keep things interesting. Shame Rav is ineligible for the UEFA cup.

Dundee are after Edgar Davids now! Incredible.

Another reason why it's too early to predict third place is that some of the protagonists might be out of business by next May!!

It has got to be a publicity thing? Should we start a football post? An SPL one!

Been thinking about it for a while actually. My thread on British teams in Europe was fairly popular. Maybe just a general football thread to cover everything since there's fans of the EPL & SPL on here.

LOl yes its all relative isn't it. People here are moaning about the price of gas- and rightly so- heck it went up over 50% overnight virtually and considering the weekly gas usage here- it makes a big impact on the monthly budget. Compared to UK petrol prices it may seem laughable but its valid here. Similarly, we all laugh at Brits who complain about things like prescription charges, compared to what we pay (even with health insurance) its a joke.

Will do (not get ill that is)- but I like my SUV thank you Cute little car though, but it wouldn't get my shopping in, or be much good on airport runs...and certainly wouldn't get me to work when the roads are flooded here.

I don't think they're legal on U.S. roads. At least that's what I've heard.

I think you're right - the United States isn't on the drop down list on the official website, so that's not promising. I wouldn't drive one here anyway, the way Jersey drivers travel, I'd be happier in a Hummer.

I first saw the Smart Car in Rome a couple of years ago. I think I'll stick with my Ford Expedition.

The Smart car is probably in the US as the oil companies objected to the lack of gas it burns.

Why do so many of you drive big gas guzzlers? Apart from the expense what about the environmental damage?
