There's a remake of Mcgyver about to be released soon.
Mcgyver and The A Team were my favourites growing up.
I f**king loved the Fall Guy!

Crazy money for Pogba but its not mine and it would only end up in the Glazers back pocket eventually. World class players don't come available too often so you've got to pounce when their available or before they move to another rich club. Its nigh on impossible trying to buy a player from a big club that they want to keep.

Pogba is a hugely marketable player so United will make a lot of money from him if we manage to sign him, playing wise he'll suit the PL and Mourinho's style. His height would certainly be a welcome addition.

I agree on this. Pogba will fit in the EPL yet rumours are all over now that Juventus rejected Man United offer. It's just saddening.
Really?

Ah Usain Bolt that great outlier 9/10 fastest athletes ever all have doped. Yet the fastest of them all hasn't, just as well his country has never produced doped athletes and has such an extensive anti-doping program.

No matter how talented you are a moderatly ability wise athlete who dopes will beat you. Those Russian athletes are considerably talented
athletes who would all avail of marginal gains via years of sports science research some of the best in the world and now also part of a doping program yet still couldn't beat clean athletes!!!! Now anyone who believes that is pretty naive imho.
That sounds like it is taken direct from Digger Forum who thinks that absolutely every single successful athlete is souped up. . He is saying now that Rob Heffernan and Sonia O'Sullivan must be on the juice because they beat Russians who were .

Digger is aggressive in his accusations against dopers, thats his style. I would bet though that he is a lot closer to the truth than a complicit media, many journalists and several sporting authorities.

Why would it be so outlandish to simply question the performances of O'Sullivan and Heffernan for instance? Is it just because they are Irish. Whilst I don't think he outright accused them of doping, Heffernan's coach has served a doping ban so I think it is only right that questions be asked. Sometimes a lot more can be gained by looking at the reaction of individuals to being questioned about doping and how outspoken about it they are. You have to read between the lines and make your own mind up sometimes.
He goes way past being aggressive . He throws out loads of accusations and a lot of the time he will delete tweets if he is challenged. He may have a point but it can be lost in the constant accusations and conspiracies. Nobody is saying that Irish athletes should be except from any scrutiny or criticism but i would expect at least a little shred of evidence apart from the fact they beat people who were juiced up. And he most definitely did outright accuse them of doping. I followed him for a while and at the start he seemed quite interesting but after while realised you might as well be following Jim Corr.

Any that speak the directions??

Waze (free)

https://www.waze.com
Have u used it before? I'm for France, the interactive bit could be difficult.

I use it all the time in Ireland and it works better in the States where there are way more users contributing.

Never used it on the continent myself, but it looks like it was banned in France as it warned drivers about speed cameras, but they have been replaced so it is legal in France again:

I just googled it, and it was banned in 2012 because of the warning of traffic cams. But they replaced that with "slow down" areas, and it is now legal in France. We are going in May, and I have put different French cities into Waze as favorites. I'm going on the assumption that it will work while we are there.
i use it all the time in London and it really is the dogs bollocks. i have a sat nav in the car and in busy traffic ill put both on to see the difference and Waze will beat the car each time.

Have to say im not surprised the leave side have carried through, i said on this thread about a month ago the majority i met day to day were voting leave and yesterday was like a bank holiday with people trying to get of London to vote in their home constituencies all over England .  The remain side were way too complacent and Labour have a lot to answer for hiding Corbyn away and not putting some of their other leaders on the front line until it was way too late.

Cannot see a Brexit either. A very straightforward win to stay I think. English very conservative by nature. North and midlands to vote very heavily to stay.

Big winner will be Corbyn and to a  much lesser degree Cameron (insofar as he will have seen off one rival but will have seen the Tories split again ................ not really his fault but the can couldn't have been kicked down the street any further).
I wouldn't be so sure. i work in London and the majority of English people i have spoken to would vote to leave. There are huge areas of old conservative England who want nothing to do with Europe as well as the large number of Military Towns. UKIP had a massive number of individual votes in the last election which did not translate to seats but they are far more popular than the press would have you believe.
Against all this there are a huge amount of europeans living and working in London and the vast majority of those i have spoken to would vote to stay.
UKIP got 12.6% of the vote last year. They also had no shortage of press coverage.
the full 12.5% is almost certain to vote out. It reduces the numbers needed from other parties substantially

Unless these have taken out British citizenship, they won't have a vote, so their opinion is immaterial.
i didn't know that, i got the polling card through the door so assumed all people registered could vote. After your post looked it up and irish, Cyprus and Malta citizen but resident in uk can vote

The bare stats don't lie but he did play weakened teams once the Europa League gig really got going. So there were more potential Premier League points forgone.

This time next year is the time to judge.
That may be the case but since they qualified for the Quarter Finals they had better results than the rest of the season ( last 8 games they won 4 , drew 3 and lost 1) which would have put them 2nd overall if they maintained throughout the season.

Some of the things said are absolutely insane, how they could even enter your head never mind putting them on a public forum is unbelievable.
