    Love New York!

    Usually go every two years or so and stock up on enough clothes to last me till the next trip. Thankfully I've never been stopped by customs either!

    Definitely go to Jersey Gardens, much better than Woodbury commons imo but if you have the time, try both.

    Carmines restaurant off Times Square is amazing, huge portions! Also the Carnegie deli on 57th street. It's a great little place with plenty of celebs going in and out all the time.

    It's definitely a shopping heaven, excellent for picking up suits and stuff too. Last time I went with the GF I dropped about 6 grand in four days, absolutely lived it up!

    Next time I go I'll make it coincide with an ROH event.

    Last time I was in NY was in 2004. Need to go back to the east again soon. So much fun.

    Never been.

    I feel at this point I've watched enough double bills of Law and Order SVU on TV3 at 12am, to know I won't be going without an Elliot Stabler with me...

    Here's my diary plan for the World Cup campaign

    Beat England this week

    Struggle initially against the USA but winning by less than 10 points in a close game

    Lose to Australia and suffer two key injuries

    Beat Russia and watch the media hype us up against Italy

    Lose to Italy by 2 as Johnny Sexton flops a late penalty attempt

    The end. And this nightmare will also feature an appearance by the evil Paddy Wallace.

    Ugh, rugby World Cup.

    How can any sport where you're encouraged to kick the ball off the pitch be any good?

    Rugby is more enjoyable these days compared to soccer. Unless it's a Malmo match.

    Can't be any worse than the piss poor world cup last summer that had damn all good matches. I'm looking forward to it, the football season hasn't lit up yet at all,loads of transfer talk & damn all to talk about whats happening on the pitch. At least we are in this World Cup & are pretty good at the sport. Hope to god Drico doesn't get injured or else we're proper ****ed

    Exactly why I cant stand going to irish clubs that are full of students from the country. Lots of them dance like that thinking they are brilliant breakdancers. Its cringeworthy.

    Pettengill is best remembered for his work in the World Wrestling Federation in the mid 1990s, as a backstage interviewer. He replaced Sean Mooney, who had elected not to renew his expiring WWF contract. He made his WWF debut as host of the Saturday morning program WWF Mania on January 9, 1993. Pettengill also hosted WWF Blast-Off, WWF LiveWire and WWF Action Zone. Pettengill would make his WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania IX wearing a toga. His most famous and notable stint in the WWF was when he sang the opening number "WWF Superstars" at the 1996 Slammy Awards. And on February 23, 2008 Todd Grisham hosted a feature on WWE.com on showcasing the Slammy Awards' Top 10 moments which Pettengill's opening number was number 8. At the following years Slammy's he hosted the Slammy for "Miss Slammy" which was won by Sable. His last pay-per-view appearance was at SummerSlam 1997 and left the WWF after his contract expired. He was replaced by current WWE Raw announcer Michael Cole.

    City got a competive group, i'd say they have spent more money than the other 3 teams combined. Utd group is a pure cakewalk. Chelsea & Arsenal have tricky harder groups but should go through. Gutted Milan got Barca who's style couldn't be any better to murder us with Pace,fast passing & ...did I mention the speed enough. At least BATE & Plzen aren't that good.
