Yeh, as usual inside my flat is considerably colder than outside...     Double glazing, insulation, central .....   no I'll stop there comrades - all these things could improve living conditions but its hefei 

...and you fucking love it!!

[Tim S. Mercurio]

 yea well you'r surrounded by concrete and cement which usually locks the cold in much as that of a prison! lol

eh' anyways  if you don't have a heater then i suggest buying one but its not worth it these days as the weather is becoming abit warmer

i hate the fact i see my own breath inside my own place and then go out side and all i smell is the stink of doom and those stupid country people burning plastic and crap to heat up their dinner

Why are people never learning???   In this part of the world its called Football zuqiu 足球 zu means foot and qiu ball= football and not Soccer! Adapt yourselfes and call it football in the future, cause u actually use ur feet in football. ; )

The thing american and aussie people call football should be called a tittywank or something.

[Aussie Mike]

So you're saying that the parts of your body we call the head, chest, knees and other parts you legally use to contact with the ball are also called foot?
Technically you can use either foot so in your view it should be called "feet-head-chest-knee but no other part of your body ball"

Do you only brush one tooth with your toothbrush and do you hop along a footpath?

Good points Mike.
If I was Chinese in China, I'd call it football.
I'm not Chinese and I'm not stupid so I'll continue to call sports by their correct and less confusing names.

[majiren]

eh, not wanting to start a big thing about what to call the game.....   BUT, apart from America & Australia what other countries call it soccer? None!  you don't see any other country changing the name of a game the whole world plays (and calls football).

I don't think I need to go into a history lesson about when American "football" was invented (some of you might still remember the day!) - Don't worry Aussie Mike & Observer - we know what you are talking about....  but you are still wrong 

Anyway there may be some evidence the Scottish invented it - if thats the case it most likely should be called "Footbaw"

[Aussie Mike]

I might not always be right but I'm never wrong. 

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn...
