By the way, much of the British tabloid press is owned by an Australian, Murdock - hey Oz - is he well thought of downunder?
Kevin

NO

Actually I think he officially became a pom because you guys wouldn't let an Aussie own your media would you

Hi Kevin,
Of course not all English people are hooligans, I guess these people are just a very, well, let's say it this way, vocal minority. I also believe there is good press or TV in England. The Times? The BBC? These are very respected institutions here in Portugal, what's your opinion on them? I would also like you to excuse me for any excesses I might have committed on these posts, but they are not directed at English people but at some press sensationalism.
If you'd like to visit Portugal, it'll be my pleasure to help in any way I can, just contact me via this forum or e-mail if you wish. By the way, it's Torres Vedras ( some Wellington connection here I guess...). The mountains, well the highest is Serra da Estrela, you can ski there in winter. I would also look into visiting the islands, Azores and Madeira, something special indeed.

Warm regards,
Paulo

Thank you for your kindness. The BBC and Times are relatively good I grant you, but our tabloids must be amongst the worst on the planet.

Are there any remains of Torres Vedras?

Hey Oz, do you want him back?

We'll see what FIFA does with him, if anything. My guess is he'll get a few matches and Zidane will lose the Golden Ball Award, probably fitting however.

It's time to get on with the new season as that's only a month away or so and put the WC behind us.

Unless Man U is just trying to raise the price, they're quite insistent that Ronaldo will stay with the team.

Arsenal, my team, is interested in Buffon. That would be a good move as Lehman is getting on in years.

Unfortunately, the teams have no one to blame but themselves. I would have sent Juventus to Serie C, as originally proposed. As it is, it will be at least two years before Juventus can get back to Serie A.

Hi Kevin,
Yes, there are remains. Apart from today's city ( pop. 22 000 ) there are monuments, including the Torres Vedras lines ( fortifications ), used by the Portuguese and the English ( Wellington ) to defend Portugal against the Napoleonic invasions. Here's a link, although in Portuguese it has photos: http://www.cm-tvedras.pt/visitar/monumentos/

Sorry for the slow reply, just seen this - thank you very much for the links, I have no Portuguese but the pictures and maps were very useful. When is a good time of year to go?
