Are you really over tired Michael, and not eaten properly, or drank plenty of water? Feel better soon :)

Michael, Ive been to England & France. Both are amazing. London and Paris are beyond words magnificent. My current profile pic is just in some back street of London :)
I hope you get there some day! I'll certainly be returning in the future.

If you still have the problem, I suggest you:
1. clear your cache in Tools/options
2. download Auslogics Registry Cleaner and run a scan then click the repair button. This is a brilliant and safe freeware from an Aussie developer.
3. download Adblockplus, another brilliant freeware app. Note the different download for each server - IE, Firefox and Chrome etc. Good idea to add the name of the adware that has infected your computer to Adblock's filters in their menu if not already listed on their extensive list of blocked sites.
This should fix your problem for good.
Cheers
Justin

I grew up on the Gold Coast, practically from one end to the other and I have to say it's not the place it used to be. I wish you luck finding a new place

My daughter had a bad reaction to too much red bull a few years ago, with a racing heart, nausea etc..."Totally agree with you Brenda, a lot of people don't realise Guarana, a major component of those energy drinks is like a natural version of speed. It can be very, very dangerous to some people yet there's no real warnings about it.
Mod
No warnings at all Tracey, that I know of...especially back a few years ago. Now people know more about it, but not necessarily the right people (the kids drinking it!)
The only reason I know about it is because of an adverse reaction I had to a V, it did not mix well with my regular meds and the doc's explained it's a type of speed.
Mod
Well, I didn't know that, and I bet there'd be a huge percentage who don't!! :(
On another note, I am playing my first soccer game of the season tomorrow :)
Im in year 10 now, and Ive been playing since year 4. So about to start my 6th year. I start off as a defender, but the coach wants me in the centre midfield this year.
What position did you play?
hahaha :D I wish the EPL was on normal TV. At a reasonable hour. Then I might actually watch some soccer.
I have watched soccer on TV a handful of times.
-Australia's 3 games in the 2010 world cup
-Australia's last 2 games in 2006 world cup
-The 2006/2010 World cup final
Aaaaand thats it.
Ive never seen a full game, and I could only name a handful of players. However, if I had to choose it would be Chelsea
SOCCER! god i miss soccer so friggen much!

I was going to play soccer when i was younger but they couldn't find enough girls so they said i'd be in with the boys....i never turned up to a game.
Anyone heard from Jan in Perth, I pm some time ago & haven't heard anything back.
Never watched or played soccer until my niece started playing 4 years ago. She's brilliant, of course but seriously got player of the season last year so I was so proud
i used to play mixed when i first started..most of primary school wasnt till i got to high school that there was a serious girls team i could join both in and out of school... i think in primary there was only 3 girls on the team lol one I'm still really good friends to till this day lol
paying with the boys is probably why I'm such and aggressive player now its more like a contact sport the last couple of years i played

@ Jessica...good luck with your soccer game today..great game, soccer. My son used to play when he was in school too. (I used to play hockey in school!)
We won our game 3-2, after being 3-0 ahead at half time. Our best player went off injured a few minutes in, and we should have been 4 or 5 goals up. They came out really hard, and we were lucky to get away with a win. One of the other teams strikers hit the post/crossbar at least three times.
Personally, I think its the worst game Ive played in a long, long time.
I went in for a tackle, and the other girls foot went into my thigh. Now there is a LOOOONG red scar. It hurt a lot :/
Mod
oww! soccer boot kicks hurt soo much! go have an epsen salts bath and read lol make it all better
owwie on the bruise..Use arnica on it. Will heal it up..Usually good to put on it right away but even still a few hours afterward can still help up the healing process.
It's nearly half an hour late here.
Mod
Wwhhaaaattttt!!!!!
