Bags and Smackie for your very generous donations for the MS150 ride.

I completed it, it was hot….but a hell of a lot of fun.

Hopefully, the rest of you who didn't donate won't get MS because you obviously don't give a rats! :p

Did I mention it was hot?

Sorry Mankie, I didnt know anything about it. But I did give to the March of Dimes recently and some other walk coming up on June 5th or around that time frame. So It's not like I'm ignoring the charities yo!

I'm glad you made it and are still alive and seem to be functional.

You missed and ass whooping of an FA Cup Final, a nice way to end what was an otherwise bumpy season.

Great. You will enjoy watching Christiano Ronaldo. Probably the best I've seen him play which shows great signs of things to come.

Quieroz and Hollier sacked - thoughts?

Both were bound to happen. I'll be surprised if Houllier gets another job in England. Quieroz was way out of his league at Madrid anyway. I wonder what happens to Becks now though???

I wouldn't be surprised to see Raneiri at Liverpool if Chelski fire him. Regardless of who's at the helm, Liverpools talent pool is much shallower than the top three, and I bet Fergie gets a truck load of cash to spend during the summer after this seasons disapointment.

Sorry Mankie but that is one charity that will never, ever receive one penny from me. My aunt, who lived alone, had MS and had donated thousands and thousands of dollars to them realizing that one day she might need some help. When she finally went to them for help in getting to the doctors or for anything else that they claim to help MS patients with, they would not do one fucking thing for her except ask her for more money. When she finally made it to the doctors, everyone in the hospital told her that they were the most notorious abusers of their charity/non-profit status and that they never do anything for anyone.

That's disturbing, I'd never heard that before. I know the aids ride was cancelled because the ride organizers were embezzeling most of the funds raised.

I'll do my own research and depending on what I come up with won't ride next year if it is the case.

Any links would be appreciated.
