Is anyone a dab-hand at playing DADGAD guitar? Any tips for good books or tutorials? I'm a total newbie to the tuning, but have realized that most of the folk records I've been listening over the last while use this tuning - or a slight variation. Thanks!

This preview of Croatia from Zonal Marking has given me even more hope for Sunday's game, especially the description of the Croatian back four: The preview of Ireland's chances is also worth a read - as are all the others if you've time on your hands.

The Good Friday Agreement pays footballing dividends yet again:

29 man squad for Macedonia and Uruguay games: Apart from Given's absence that's a really healthy looking squad with competition in a number of positions. My starting XI against Macedonia would be: Westwood O’Shea Dunne St Ledger Clark Coleman McCarthy Whelan Duff...

Not sure if anyone else will be interested in this, but I just downloaded the first issue of The Blizzard (a new quarterly football magazine/periodical edited by Jonathan Wilson of 'Inverting the Pyramid' fame). Here's the blurb: The current issue is available to download on a pay as much as...

Arshavin's Twitter feed is usually full of comedy gold, but the video that he just posted tops it all. Amazing.

I'm trying to save/rip some archival footage that is only available to stream online in Realplayer/Quick Time/Windows Media Player so I can use it in a presentation. There is no internet connection where I'll be giving the talk so I was wondering does anyone know how I could save the footage...

Finally! I take it this means that McCarthy hasn't decided to play for Scotland as a number of papers had been suggesting? Although I suppose he could always do a Shane Duffy and decline the offer:

I badly need to get an external hard drive (possibly two) to back up the work I'm doing for my PhD. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Just found the trailer for Gainsbourg (Vie Heroique). The actor playing the lead role is the spitting image of Serge.

Interesting rule change by Fifa which means that a number of players including Kevin Nolan, Mark Noble, Jamie O'Hara and Anton Ferdinand have become eligible for Ireland.

First call up for Coventry's Leon Best. The new Caleb Folan?

I'll preface this post by saying that I'm in no way computer savvy so any advice, no matter how obvious, would be appreciated. My laptop crashed last night and when I tried to restart it I got a message telling me that Windows Vista wasn't loading and then it just went to a black screen. It has...

Tag line: "A depressed Mancunian postman receives spiritual guidance from a spectral Eric Cantona." Trailer for it here.

Just saw that Lippi has announced his squad for the game in Bari: Take away Pirlo and De Rossi and there are some pretty average midfielders in there. I saw Brighi playing against Arsenal a few weeks back, Giannini he is not. Such a shame Steven Reid is out, but that Italian squad underlines...

MLS player Fabian Espindola broke his wrist doing a stupid cartwheel style goal celebration. Then the goal was ruled out for offside! Haha. That'll learn him. Although it still doesn't beat Tony Adams dropping Steve Morrow on his head back in '93.

It looks like I'm going to be moving to London in September. Anyone have any tips on good websites for finding a gaff? Thanks.

I've just found out that all of the pricks at my work are into roller blading and organise fun filled skating excursions together at the weekends. On the other hand all of the people that I get on with in work think that it's a hobby for rimjobs. Any other hobbies that separate the pricks from...

Is anyone here doing postgraduate study in the UK at the moment? If so I need some advice. I've been accepted into a Masters in London run by the best department in the area that I want to study. I've also been awarded an AHRC grant to cover the fees. My main fear is over being crippled by...
