I haven't been to Brazil in about a year. But from what I saw in Rio. Transit/traffic is going to be a massive mess. It will all be one hell of a party though... Anyone going?
Can concrete collapse under the weight of people alone?
the buses were on strike that day, so the metro was especially packed. Doesn't excuse the incredibly shitty design of that station though, everyone hates going through there during rush hour.

We have a place to stay in SP, but decided we'd rather visit after the WC. That said, I'd like to kick it in Natal and see the USA crush Ghana and then go party in Recife for a couple weeks and drink off our inevitable loss to Germany.
I put a few email systems in where folks had the same name and, of course, everyone wanted the email address without numbers or initials. Shit, there were even two Val Cass*dy's in the same building in Dublin.
So, you can imagine my indignation when I was bleksd with the ID JJJ2 on some system at ICI.
2?
JJJ1 was Jackie J*hnson, so I tracked her down. Nice Scottish woman, had been there years.

I will be stuck in Porto Alegre due to exorbitant air fair prices. Didn't even manage to get a ticket for one of the games here :cry:
[strike]Knowing my luck, now that I'm not in England they will win it.[/strike] As if. Guess the vibe in Barcelona will be good as I think Spain are semifinalists at the very least.
That paper aeroplane overshadowed England's performance by a long chalk!
EDIT: paper aeroplane. I don't think the plane that hits the player is the one thrown by the guy with the camera phone. If you pause that video at 0:05 there are two planes in shot. The one on the left is the one the guy with the camera threw. It doesn't make it. His plane appears to nose-dive after about 20 yards. The plane that hits the player enters the shot from the right. Possibly thrown from even further away.
The guy who made the video has been interviewed by a newspaper about this. He's a fraud! The real plane-thrower has been cheated of his 15 mins.
TL:DR version - paging Harvey!

In fact Skelding is a Viking name, dude at work has it, swans around using the Skel handle on email etc, which pisses me off no end

The penalties part makes sense, but the top corners are also the riskiest place to aim for. We're just crap at them.
Canada represent!
