Big difference between being alone and being lonely....I usually manage quite well by myself, I'm just wired that way...always have been.....some people can sit in a crowded room and feel totally abandoned....nowt as strange as the human mind, is there??

You missed it my pun...or I did?? It's a Stephen Ambrose 'thing', or was (he died way back)....which means Hanks et al are prolly already in on it..they always are....the funding will be there already via producers...this is just to garner a little public interest ...

Haslem did good shame about elison crashing out hope it doesn't go same way this year for him.

... to check the date on them it should be on the sidewall as a number, showing month and year of manufacture, i.e. 2415 - the 24th week in 2015, that way you'll know if you've got a 3yr old tyre or a 8yr old tyre.
