I just watched the New Zealand vs Wales game it was a pretty good game crowed of 70 thousand + that would be awesome!!

Crowds of 60K or more are fairly common when England (and Wales - only, I might add, because Wales are doing quite well at the moment) play at home. As an example, a few years back England played Romania at Twickenham and pulled in 65,000.

There is a good passion for Rugby here and it's a shame that only a handful of other countries fully embrace this sport. At times, Rugby can really be as majestic to watch as football.

If their was a professional rugby league that was actually marketed here in the US, I would follow it.

^ I'm with you..........If the media would get behind it more I think it would grow quick, in Ontario it's pretty big among high school students more so then football and football(soccer ) In my area. I have a few friends trying out for the Canada under 18 team,I was thinking trying for under 18 Ontario since I'v bulked up a bunch over the summer/winter.(that's how unpopular it is lil old POM can go out for the Ontario haha )

 

[Deano]

I wish you luck with that Prisoner. That would be freakin' awesome for you. I've only played back yard like games before, never anything organized.... it's fun as hell though.

Bond 

by the way, the original James Bond was an ornithologue 
one day his woman receive a call from the production of the first JB congratulating her
for the manly of her husband's name

 

[Deano]

Very cool, I did not know that. James Bond is, however, one of my heroes.... what a life!

 

[____no5]

yeah cool he was

in the center it has a lot of police as we had a kalasnikof hit two days before --> http://forum.maidenfans.com/http://foru ... 27#p210027

here on the other hand is very calm: one can smell the burn of the wood, it's like a village -I feel so nice here

plus my woman prepared something delicious (chicken on peach) and there is an excellent wine to go with
the sky is cloudy (but it's night now) and there is too much wind

by the way here is a photo of what I see every day when I wake up ...nice huh ??

you see those ships ?? some of them I've allready checked
and this area is the area where the naval battle of Salamis against Persians took place the 5th century BC
I have a theory about it ; since then, the place is cursed and doomed to have all the time ships there  

by the way where I live is the mountain of Egaleo, so there is a small possibility that where I'm sitting right now
King Xerxes once upon a time was sitting to watch the battle !!
*historicians say that king Xerxes had put his throne somewhere on this mountain to watch the battle

That kicks ass! Nice view too. Better than the view I get everyday.

 

[____no5]

yeah, it kicks ass! the best part is that it is completely equiped -with a very nice taste as well
so the only thing I had to buy is ...my pc !! 

it even has a statue (!!!) inside  -a nude Hermes and I use him to put my coat on his shoulders

to have something in the center for the price that I have it here, it would have been something very small and dirty
plus no place to park your car

but here I have someting luxious for really not expensive, the people are great, allways there is somewhere to park
and the best : whenever I'll need to go away, all I have to do is pack my books, my cloths take my hard disk and go !!

 

[Deano]

Very cool, I meant that the historical aspect of where you are staying is nice as well.

 

[____no5]

ah yeah !! but here the place is really full of historical places, that after a while it doesn't impress you any more

but attention : everything is ruined, the only thing it exists is the memory
if one time you come don't wait to see a Rome no2 : here is just stories, and some ruins
so if you want to see some ancient Greek temples, there are more in Sicily only than in all Greece!

 

[Deano]

Being from the US, at least I feel this way, when I walk through the streets or lands of historic European sites, I can feel an aura, so the actual buildings or monuments aren't required, .. they're nice if they're there though. I'm sure most Europeans that spend their lives around such things don't garner as powerful feelings about the places.

 

[____no5]

I'm sure most Europeans that spend their lives around such things don't garner as powerful feelings about the places.

not I
I feel very much the energy and this place is full of it.
and from time to time I do some time travelling

 

[Deano]

That's good to know, you should travel over to the US sometime.
