    short break in Croatia

    @SuperTigers: Hi Rob. Weather wise it should still be fairly warm and sunny, temperatures usually around 20 to 25 celcius max from past experiences. With regards to similarities between Croatian and Slovene, there are some, certain words / phrases are the same, others are pronounced slightly...

    short break in Croatia

    Waterfalls ... there are a few but the ones which come to mind are either in the national park Plitvice Lakes (http://www.np-plitvicka-jezera.hr/) which is about 2hrs from Zagreb, about 3 hrs from Split or in national park Krka (http://www.npkrka.hr/ &...

    short break in Croatia

    I might be somewhat biased, as I am Croatian, but here goes ... For that time of year, the main cities to visit (mainly due to available flights) are the capital Zagreb and coastal city of Split. Split during the day tends to be warmer, sunny about 10-14 celcius but fairly cold in the evening...

    World Cup 2010

    Unfortunately its true. Euro 2004 was a disaster. We had our own version of Mclaren in charge, Otto 'the old goat' Baric and he did not have a clue. Btw, it was 4 - 2. The last world cup too was a massive dissapointment. It says it all when our coach, Zlatko Kranjcar, decided to skip the...

    Some Random WW2 Facts

    Just a bit more info on these guys. The SS unit in question was known as the 13 'Handzar' SS Division, known for wearing fez's with the skulls and crossbones insignia. They mainly fought in and around Bosnia in anti-partisan operations and I believe they were never sent out to any other fronts...

    Jack Daniels and Cherry Coke.

    Another two, with Wine though Mis Mas - 1/3 Fanta with 2/3 Red Wine :cool: (You put the Fanta in first, followed by the wine. The wine sits on top of the fanta. Can drink it like that or mix it. Oh much better with Ice in it too!) Bambus - Red Wine mixed with Coke - 50/50 mix :)

    Champions League3rd Round Qualifiers (Leg 1 - SPOILERS)

    Dinamo should do ok, considering most of Arsenals key players are not playing. They must capitalise on this, if not could be punished in the second leg, as I expect most of the missing Arsenal regulars to be back in action. Arsenal must attack and put pressure on the Dinamo defence as they...

    Champions League Draw

    Arsenal are likely to play against Dinamo Zagreb. Dinamo won their first leg away 4 - 1, and I would be really suprised if they threw that lead away. Mind you if Arsenal do play them it could be quite close. I would fancy Arsenal though Dinamo have quite a few experienced players in the team...

    World Cup Group F (Australia, Brazil, Croatia, Japan) **SPOILERS**

    Not the greatest match though I was dissapointed we did not get a draw out of the game, but hey, the team played well and can't be faulted for their effort. Bring on the Japanese and the Aussies. :D Let them tremble infront of the 'Vatreni' :cool: who were awesome imho. Can't wait. Btw...

    Pilot Advice needed

    From what I undertsand it is pretty difficult to get in commercially. A lot of the big airlines will not take you onto their schemes unless you have fulfilled a minimum number of flying hours. So you even join the smaller airlines, for next to no money or get by doing private work. I know one...

    Bad A-level grades, can bite you in the rear end, 6 years in the future

    I can understand where you are coming from. I left college with two C's and one E, a far cry from the B's I was predicted. I decided to put things right and left uni with a 1st class honours + distinction. Fortunately, it has not affected me too much, in that I have been to interviews...

    World Cup Group F (Australia, Brazil, Croatia, Japan) **SPOILERS**

    I too reckon it will come down between Croatia and Australia for second place. Tbh, I was quietly confident after the draw that Croatia would qualify no problem, but judging from our recent friendly results I am starting to have second thoughts. From a fans point of view they are too...

    Phd, DPhil, DPsyche, MPhil, MSc, MA - whats the difference?

    Right Phd's, MPhil's and Masters by Research (which is defined as MSc too not to be confused with a standard Masters degree even though some are listed as MSc also) tend to referred to as Research Degrees. PhD, in essence is a major piece of research work focussing on a particular area...

    Slobodan Milosevic found dead

    Regarding the comments taken from the bbc, I am not surprised by some of the comments made, IMO a sad attempt to justify the war(s). You see what does my head in these days is when people say the wars in bosnia and kosovo were all about stopping Al-Qaeda/islamic terrorists/fundamentalism...

    Slobodan Milosevic found dead

    Guilty, guilty guilty :D :D Good Riddance. May sound odd but you have no idea how long I have been waiting for this day. May the man rot in hell for all eternity for what he did and instigated. I will refrain from getting too worked up. Yes he has escaped justice (the fact he was on...

    So, why are you in here then on a Saturday night?

    Got punched in the eye towards the end of my rugby match. Kind of expected playing rugby, though I did not even provoke the guy at all :confused: A bruised eye and a couple of stiches later I am feeling dandy! Tbh not really in the mood to be going out.

    Peter Osgood dies!

    Unbelievable. Saw him at the recent Chelsea - Liverpool game being shown around during half-time. Showed to have a really good sense of humour especially when the Liverpool fans were chanting "How many European Cup do you have". Shame. RIP
