Wayne Bridge England Team – Says NO to Capello for World Cup

Wayne Bridge is standing down from England duty for the South African World Cup. He claims that it is best for his team mates and England that he removes himself from the squad.

Capello wants him to be a part of the team but with his team mate John Terry playing right along side him it could create difficulties. As we all know John Terry had an affair with Wayne Bridge’s ex who is also the mother of Wayne Bridges child.

Capello hopes Bridge will change his mind as there is still time before the final team is decided, although this bold move from Bridge appears pretty concrete and I doubt he will change his mind.

A lot of people seem to think Bridge is over reacting although many also think that he is doing an honourable thing for his team and country. I beleive it is honourable but also a shame as I think he has a lot to offer and should be a part of the world cup.

Man City will soon play Chelsea, this could spark a very interesting game as Terry & Bridge meet as opposition in what deems to be a great game of football between two top teams.

I hope Bridge maintains his dignity in this clash but hope that if he ends up tackling Terry then its a tackle that knocks the wind out of him.

If you want to relax, bask in the sunshine and be sailed around the Caribbean Islands on a 58 foot Catarmaran ‘Yacht Braveheart’ is the way to do it. We chartered out Yacht Braveheart last year and are doing the same next week! We had an amazing time and Yacht Braveheart with its new refurbishment offered us a luxury, top of the range experience.

The Catarmaran has everything and more on board than what you will need, if you are considering a family holiday with your children then on board fishing, snorkelling, wakeboarding, kayaking, windsurfing, scuba diving, ringos, waterskiing, inflateble towables and more will keep them happy for the whole holiday! You dont just have to be a child to enjoy all of this too!

In fact, I have managed to find the full list of things that Braveheart offers:
# Wakeboarding
# Waterskies
# 3 x ski tubes
# Snorkel gear
# Scuba gear
# 2 Dive compressors
# 14′ dinghy with 60hp outboard

The cuisine is second to none and Chef Dawn offers a menu to suit everybodys taste and dietry requirments, we were so welcomed the moment we got picked up from Jerri (the captain) who took us from the airport to Yacht Braveheart to start the holiday.

The food really is incredible, how ever many courses you want and what ever time you want it, we were spoiled by the fresh tuna that we caught one day after grilling it on the deck BBQ, fresh fish, tender loin pork, fillet steaks…you name it, you get it!

The Catarmaran really is gorgeous inside, each room with ensuit, flat screen tv and port holes to allow you to absorb the incredible views. The saloon areas offers relaxation whilst reading, watching the latest movies or just doing what ever you wish to do on your holiday.

We stopped at a numbe rof islands and the crew of Braveheart allowed us to go and see what ever we wished to see. We had the choice to sail to 10’s of islands or we could just sit out at sea and enjoy the sun and relax with a glass of wine or a beer in the hammocks on board – I cant explain how amazing it is and cant wait to go back.

Yacht Braveheart really is the true way to experience the Caribbean, a fantastic crew, fantastic Catarmaran and guarantees a fantastic holiday for all.

CHERYL & ASHLEY COLE SPLIT – READ THE LATEST!

Its finally come to a head. Cheryl has come to her senses and decided to split up from her husband Ashley Cole, the Chelsea and England soccer star. After numerous reports of his cheating ways Cheryl has had enough.

Cheryl & Ashley Cole - Happy?

The 3 and a half year marriage ended after the last story of unfaithful Ashley sleeping with an American woman whilst in Seattle with his Chelsea team mates. I wonder if John Terry gave him a few tips on how to ruin a marriage?

They are both multimillionaires so apparantly this shouldnt be a financially messy divorce, it is said that Ashley Cole earns £120,000 a week for Chelsea, this equates to £6.2 million a year! more than what most of us would earn in a life time.

According to Rich List sources the couple are worth £17 million between them, NICE.

Looks like Cheryl might have to have that tattoo lasered off now – she has a tattoo of ‘Mrs C’ on the back of her neck – at least she wont be able to see it!

Gordon Brown Being a Bully – The National Bullying Helpline

Its on the news, we must have heard about it!?

Its strange because the National Bullying Helpline have said that they have received calls from members of Gordon Brown’s office & 10 Downing Street over claims that he has been bullying his staff. He strongly denies this. I would like to ask if this is a complete breach of confidentiality on their part, as they explain 2 people from his office have reported him on the grounds of bullying, I know I wouldnt be happy if I reported bullying in my workplace and they announced that 1 person out of an office of 3 people had reported bullying as it wouldnt be that difficult to pin point who has made the claim, thus possibly creating more discomfort in the workplace.

Stories from his fellow labour members say that he is a decisive, strong character who will keep going until he gets what he wants. This doesnt go to say that he is a bully nor does it escape the claims that he could be. He has said how it is not in his nature and that he has never hit a single person in his life, again this doesnt escape the claims as I dont beleive bullying always comes in a the form of violence. Other members of the party have said that they havent been bullied by him, when asked if they thought he was a bully or not. So far I think most would not be convinced.

Where would we be without a stong priminister, we dont want a bully, but sensitive people may take things the wrong way or feel like they are being bullied if they dont fully understand a person’s character or nature, is this simply a case of this or is there more to it???

Which Digital Camera Should I Buy?

Heres a bit of an update on me buying that camera, I ended up going for the Kodak Z915 www.trustedreviews.com

It was bought on its price and its capabilities. I have read many reviews and this one stood out as a camera of good value that not only gave you a great point and shoot facility but also more professional options with the extremely good manual options.

I also considerd the Canon powershot cameras and the Panasonic Lumix all within the £150 range. But the Kodak although at £150 originally was in a sale at £90 in Argos so couldnt refuse.

I took the camera out anyway at the weekend, took some great pictures of the snow and fields, great views. Even got some moving images of a couple of horses galloping, the camera captured these perfectly and I was really impressed. The only thing is that after taking about 60 or so images I went to take another and the lense started playing up, it wouldnt open or close properly and wouldnt give me any options on the screen at all-it simply didnt work!

I am going to get in touch with Argos to try and find a replacement, when reading all reviews nobody mentioned this problem, or many problems at all to be honest so I’m hoping that I was just unlucky and the next replacement model will be ok. I really dont want to change this camera as it is really simple to use, even through all of its settings and it does capture great images.

Cheryl Cole Miming at the Brits

Im sure many would agree that it is quite pleasing to watch Cheryl Cole, even if she is mining!

It was a good performance nevertheless and lets face it she is a good dancer. It was a bit bad how we could all hear the words about a second or 2 before she actually moved her lips.

Am I right in thinking that they even tried to convince us at the end that she was singing it by putting her mic on so she could thank everyone and listen to how out of breath she was from all the dancing? I dont doubt it would be near on impossible to sing well whilst doing all those moves but why bother making out that you’re doing both when it goes so badly?

Its quite ironic how she was singing ‘fight for this love’ with the rough time she is going through in her marriage to Ashley Cole, she wasnt wearing her wedding ring either!

I wouldnt bother fighting for it Cheryl

Brit Awards – Peter Kay & Liam Gallagher Incident

If you watched the Brits tonight you will have seen Peter Kay say something that I’m sure millions of us would love the opportunity to say.

As Liam Gallagher came on stage to collect his Brit award for the best album in the last 30 years he said a few censored words to the crowd and the millions viewing the other side of the tv screen, he then threw the microphone into the crowd along with his brit award! can you believe it? what a fool.

Peter Kay strolls back on to the stage (with a new mic) and looks over to Liam Gallagher as he walked off stage and simply said “What A Nob Head”

I couldn’t agree more….

Luge Accident Crash, Death of Georgian Nodar Kumaritashvili in Winter Olympics 2010 – Vancouver

Its so sad to see tragedy as world class competitors come together in sports most prestigious event.

Watch the crash http://www.buzzfeed.com/akdobbins/nodar-kumaritashvili-luge-crash

The fatal accident happended on Friday during the practice session as the 21 year old Nodar Kumaritashvili lost control of his sled and crashed into a steel pole at just under 90 MPH.

Previous talks with his dad David Kumaritashvili suggest that Nodar had expressed his fears over turn 16 where he came to lose his life, his father advised him to take a slower start however Nodar ironically explained that this is the Olympics and that he would either “win or die”.
