I'm prepared to give them a chance. I've slated both of them before but if Trap has faith in them then so should I, the fan who hasn't been inside the camp. Who's to say they won't take their chance with open arms should Whelan/Andrews/Gibson or St. Ledger/Dunne etc get injured?

Ahh i used to be like you, full of hope. Then i saw this video.

Watched a Serbian Film and have added Serbia to the list of countries I am never going to. :pac:

Would have been much better without the kids being involved.

So it seems Brendan Rodgers is going to be the new Liverpool manager...Anytime I hear his name I will only think of Roger from Doug and that heelish guitar riff he had.

A belated Happy birthday to Kane-N-Nite:)

What a great song

His movements are so fluid and effortless, looks fantastic.

One thing though, how come actors (in general) only mouth the words of pre-recorded tracks? It looks like they're mouthing the words, not singing them. Mouths are a completely different shape when singing. Is it too rough on actors' throats?

I only went away on holiday for 10 days but that's a lifetime in wrestling it seems judging by the ton of news to catch up on. Think I'll start with the couple of major WWE suspensions, should make for fun reading on an already thin roster.

And 3 Impacts to watch before the live show tonight :eek:

If anyone cares, I rate Berlin 4.5 stars. Great city with a easy-going friendly vibe to the people, so easy to make new friends anywhere you go. Really interesting history too with the WW2 sights to visit, concentration camp just outside the city, and the Berlin Wall divide. Would be a great place to live for a few years I reckon.

Rome I give 3.5 stars. Gorgeous streets on every corner and the ancient architecture is just magnificent as was all of Michelangelo's works, but due to a bad public transport system and due to getting lost in with the tourist crowd being shepherded around like sheep, it was hard to relax and take it all in at times. Would be a claustrophobic chaotic place to live.

The Pope's outdoor mass yesterday morning was a sight to see though, not much different to a wrestlers entrance. The Catholic fanatic chanting and signing songs 2 hours before his entrance, then at 10:30am exactly, his religious music hits and the crowd all stand up on their seats in anticipation, then he enters the arena in his chauffeur driven jeep type thing and the crowd go wild.


Any of you's got any summer trips planned?

Was only ever in Milan* which was amazing great city, food, people and weather always heard that the biggest problem with rome is just the sheer amount of tourists.
You HAVE to catch up with the storyline between Bully Ray and renowned lawyer Joseph Park its fantastic.

*don't really consider anywhere in Ireland or the uk a holiday
Jordan Henderson in the euros now lol, hey Trap I still have a pair of oliver bierhoff esque diadoras under my stairs.

I love anything German. Been there three times and it's just a brilliant brilliant place. Berlin is lovely but preferred the south. Italy is the only major country I really want to visit.

Heading to Poland on Saturday week. Going to be better than epic. I imagine it's a lot like Germany in a lot of ways but suppose that what people expect from Ireland and England and that's not really the case.

The Human Centipede put me off ever going to Germany

I went to Bratislava for a planned 3 day stay but nothing to see or do there, was so bored that we ended up just jumping on a train to Budapest after 1 day.

We stayed in The PLUS hotel, nice enough place with free computers/internet, swimming pool, and sauna (which we didn't use). Great location; 1 minute from the S-Bahn (overground) and U-Bahn (underground) lines, 1 minute away from a Lidl which was a good place to stock up on mineral water and cheap croissants or whatever for breakfast, and it's near the East Side Gallery (1km of the Berlin Wall which they didn't knock down). Only problem was it was quite loud with teenagers at night, hard to sleep before midnight.

My fave sights were the Sachsenhausen concentration camp which is a little bit outside the city so wake up early if you decide to go there. Also I loved the OlympiaStadion (national stadium which the Nazi's built for the 1936 olympics) and the BellTower which overlooks the stadium, but you may only like that if your a soccer or Nazi anorak. Also really liked the Berlin Zoo if you fancy a quiet stroll away from the streets. And if your into scary sh*t then check out the Gruselkabinett, scared the bejesus out of me!

Also check out the East Side Gallery - 1km Berlin wall which displays some great artwork on it now.

Didn't really like the famous Fernsehtrum TV tower. Tenner to get in, and then when you get to the top, you don't really see anything that you don't see from the flight before you land anyway. Plus they don't let you take in food or drink, and then don't let you into the rotating restaurant unless you have a table booked, so if you don't eat a meal there then it's a tenner for 15-20 minutes 'entertainment' which I didn't think was good value at all.

The Madame Tussards there is a lot of German celebs so I would only go to there if your really into the Madame Tussards museums.

As for food, I don't really remember names of places, we just ate on the go. When we were hungry, we just looked for the nearest place and if the price was ok, we sat down and ate. Went through a lot of sandwiches though to save time and money

Oh and I recommend picking up a 'Berlin Welcome Card'. We bought a 30 Euro card for 5 days and that gives you unlimited transport rides and around 25% discounts into most of the touristy places.

Hope you enjoy the city as much as I did!

You might be able to check out a wrestling show over there. Carlito and Primo's dad Carlos Colon runs the WWC from Puerto Rico.

Rocco is a really nice place to eat and a good cocktail bar.

Stayed in the Estrel hotel for work which was well plush but very expensive. Stayed on a few more days and at the Metropol Hostel which was nice as far as hostels go. Wifi and brekkie included
