    Anyone see the documentary on Keane/Vieira last night?

    I don't know why ITV stuck it over on ITV4.

    Judging by Keane's United team selection, he's not too fond of any of Fergie's Fledglings bar Beckham, who also fell out with Ferguson.

    I wasn't sure what to make of Keane at the start of it, I thought the Anti-Fergie theme that ran through the documentary (and his team selection) was a bit petty, but he peppered it with just about enough humour in the end to make him come out looking good. He used the opportunity well to get his side of the story out.

    I have no problem with the slight Anti Fergie theme. Fergie has been fairly anti Keane recently so it wasn't surprising Keane would take this chance to get his side across after Fergie was on some many chat shows and had press conferences about the book where he got his chance to speak.

    I thought the team selection went a bit far tbh. Not having Scholes in the team but having Paul Ince was ridiculous. I'd have no real problem with Giggs being left out because Beckham and Ronaldo were both fantastic players but to leave Scholes out of the midfield and then include Paul Parker ahead of Neville was just unbelievably petty.

    I seemed to have timed my watching of Sons of Anarchy perfectly with the last episode of season 6 out this morning, about to sit down and watch it now!

    I'll be looking for something new to watch now in an hour or two :pac:

    It's 81 minutes long . Sounds like it's going to be some season finale.

    Have you seen Banshee ? Well worth checking out imo, the second season starts next month .

    Just finished it there, it certainly didn't disappoint. Not really a spoiler but I'm cautious about ever spoiling things: But it was a
    real game-changer
    . Waiting until what next September is going to be painful now. Very glad I watched it.

    Nope I haven't but I've heard it's meant to be good.

    Will do! :)

    To follow up i thoroughly enjoyed it, a lot more action in this one then the last and a good bit darker! Still good fun as to be expected too. I may be biased though as i'd my mind already made up before i even got there and i do have a love for all things "middle-earth" :)

    What a day of sport. Ashes earlier on, 2 sessions of darts, 7 EPL games, all 4 Irish provinces in action in the HC. Missus working all day as well.

    Saturday perfection

    building it in Java??

    Have you tried phonegap for dreamweaver? You can build the app in javascript and html5 and then phonegap will push out a native android app for you

    This is for my final year project though, I'm sure I wouldn't get much marks for using that :p

    Was some game, Smith was by far the better player and had let Taylor off the hook a few times earlier in the game.

    Delighted as a darts fan, Taylor has been an insufferable arrogant cnut the last few years

    Without spoiling anything from beyond episode 3 of this season please. Is it worth catching up on Homeland?

    A friend was telling me it picked up dramatically from about episode 6, does that sound about right?

    Ya, I took a while to get going. It's getting to the "oh crap, this is more successful than we expected, let's drag it out while we think of a storyline" phase (catchy)
