I was watching some old WCW worldwide from 1990 on Sky Sports last week, and its amazing how many moves just arent used anymore, for instance atomic drop, how many moves and finishers can you think off, that just arent used anymore?

Alex Kingston, the 41-year-old British actress who plays Dr Elizabeth Corday in ER, is being axed from the hospital drama because she is "too old". The star launched a stinging attack on the show's producers after she was told her seven-year, £81,000 an episode, rolling contract was not being renewed. Kingston claimed she was being dropped to make way for younger actresses such as 28-year-old Parminder Nagra, the Bend It Like Beckham star who joined the cast last year. "I suddenly felt very old surrounded by these young twentysomethings. Does it mean that I'm the geriatric that's being pushed out because she's too old?" Kingston said in an interview with the Radio Times. "[The show] definitely seems to be taking a different tone. I understand it needs to keep reinventing itself in order to keep going, and apparently I, according to the producers, the writers, am part of the old fogeys who are no longer interesting. In that respect it's a shame," she added. "It's fine to have young med students, but you need to have figures of authority, people of different ages, races, shapes and sizes. The actress, who has been in the medical soap since 1997, said she had feared getting the axe for the past two years. "I was patently aware that, this last season, I was being used less and less, and also that my contract was up this year. "So there was a point where I had to find out what was going on, and that was when the producers said they would no longer renew my contract. It was a shock and obviously upsetting, but it's just your ego that's upset. Then I got over it. "Once I knew what their intentions were, it was easier to deal with it, because two years of not knowing what was going on was not very nice and I wouldn't wish it on anyone." Kingston, who spent much of her early career with the Royal Shakespeare Company before landing a role of Adele in Peter Greenaway's 1989 film The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, said her £2.3m annual salary may have also played a part in the decision. "I don't think any of the American networks knew how phenomenally successful Friends and ER would ever be and the power that those actors could command. But in today's climate, I think it's going the other way. Studios and producers make their contracts watertight and are much tough in negotiating," she said. "I'm sure there must have been some financial feelings behind the decision not to renew my contract. I know for a fact that the newcomers aren't getting much at all." Once married to Ralph Fiennes, Kingston said she was not yet sure how she would be written out of the show. "I had an idea of what was going to happen and it was something I firmly rejected. They were planning to get me involved with yet another man, and I'm already juggling two," she explained. In the interview Kingston said she had decided not to look for another role in a US soap "because there's an enormous amount of crap about because they have so many stations". Instead, she said she would be returning to the UK to make an independent British film and develop a TV show.

A statement purportedly from al-Qaeda militants in Saudi Arabia has warned of new attacks on US and Western airlines and other transport facilities. "All compounds, bases and means of transport, especially Western and American airlines, will be a direct target...," it said. Posted on an pro-al-Qaeda website, it asks Muslims to keep away from Westerners and such locations. The statement's authenticity could not be immediately verified. But it was signed "al-Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula". It comes as Saudi security forces hunt gunmen who attacked a BBC news team in a drive-by shooting in Riyadh on Sunday. Cameraman Simon Cumbers was killed and security correspondent Frank Gardner is critically ill in hospital. The two journalists travelled to Saudi Arabia last week following terror attacks in the city of Khobar.

Hey man, www.soccerstreams.com is covering most of the Euro 2004 games live, and all on some sort of a delay, not as much as 72 hours tho.

And how in the fuck the Second World war is a "good" war is beyond me?

So, you think that the breadth and scope of the second world war can be compared to invading Iraq, that Omaha beach, the desert rats, D-Day, the blitz, the battle of britain, the invasion of russian, the invasion of germany, pearl harbour, can all be compared to the war in Iraq?

I dont think any comment is needed here, just it scores a 10 on the stupidity meter President Bush has strongly defended the US-led war on terror, casting it as a struggle between freedom and tyranny exactly like World War II. In a speech to new air force officers, he said they were fighting the same war as those who battled the Nazis. The war on terror, he said, resembles "the great clashes of the last century" between democracy and totalitarianism. Mr Bush was speaking at the Air Force Academy, ahead of ceremonies marking the 60th anniversary of D-Day. He told graduating officers in Colorado Springs: "Each of you receiving a commission today in the United States military will also carry the hopes of free people everywhere." Like the US involvement in World War II, he said the war on terror began with a surprise attack on the US. "Like the murderous ideologies of the last century, the ideology of murderers reaches across borders," President Bush added. The "enemies of freedom", he went on, mistakenly assumed that the US was "decadent" and would collapse. "In those calls we hear echoes of other enemies in other times, the same swagger," he said. "We will accept nothing less than victory over the enemy," he said. He told the new officers that the US would continue to strike countries around the world. "The best way to protect America is to stay on the offensive and attack more countries." Mr Bush highlighted the importance of the Middle East, and re-affirmed his policy of fostering democracy there. "If that region is abandoned to terrorists and dictators, it will be a constant source of violence and alarm," he said. "If that region grows in democracy and prosperity and hope, the terrorist movement will lose its sponsors, lose its recruits and lose the festering grievances that keep terrorists in business." In the long term, the president added, "we expect a higher standard of reform and democracy from our friends in the region, we expect them to shape up to our standards." Mr Bush also defended his administration's controversial record on Iraq. He said that country was "more secure with Saddam Hussein in a prison cell, it didn't matter about a couple of isolated abuse cases".

I went to see Jake the snake wrestle for wZw in Carlisle, England two months ago, and he is looking really good at the minute, he actually had a pretty good match with Phil Powers.

When you read them over and over again, do they end differently? ... Sorry, had to. It was just after Wrestlemania 14 IIRC

Hey, theres a passage in Foleys book when he was bitching about someone who was getting a push and the Funker said, "mick sometimes vince does it to be nice", so what has Vince done, that in your view, was not done for business purposes, but just to be "nice", a push maybe, or a belt on some crappy wrestler(Hardcore Holly at RR04 springs to mind)

He was the other member of the group, the one Eminem replaced. I mean, Em grew up with them and all but he wasn't really in the group, just a friend, so after Bugz died he took his place. Bugz got in a fight with some kid and the guys friend went to his car and shot him 3 times with a shot gun and ran over his body with his SUV. It was a big thing because someone caught it on video tape and it played on the news quite a bit in Detroit. Em didnt replace bugz, kuniva replaced bugz

Adam, its a p*mpey supporter, you cant expect me to be nice, anyway, heres my list. 1st. Arsenal 2nd. Man Utd 3rd. Chelsea 4th. Newcastle 5th. Liverpool 6th. Charlton(If the spend the Parker money wisely and hold onto Curbs) 7th. Southampton(If we get the players that are rumoured to be coming) 8th. Middlesborough(If they get Kleivurt) 9th.

Well, we did win Le Tournai before France '98. Thats a great point, and we looked very impressive against France and Italy, to the guy who said we always do shite in big tournaments, hmmm, how about 1990, semi finals(losing to the team that won the competition on penalties), 1996(semi finals) again, losing to the team that won on penalties, 98 2nd round, amazing game, both teams should have gone thorugh, but lost on penalties, 2002, quarter finals, losing to the winners of the competition, I would hardly call that doing nothing in a tournament situation.

Piss off pompey, we are in a much better situation then you could ever dream to be in

Man, whats with all the negativity, its traditional for us to fuck up before a big tournament, the cathay pacific flight in 96, the crappy training sessions in 98, drawing with tunisia in 1990 and losing to the usa in 1991, it wouldnt be england if we werent utter shit before the start of a tournament

Actually, youd think it was a lot, but it only happened twice, but fuck me, it was nerve wracking every time, if we had gone down with the small capacity of the dell, fuck knows what could have happened

Ive got a good bet at 24/1 that Russia are the first team eliminated

It is hard to imagine someone having views like that in the 21st Century, but there you go, thats religion for you, and thats why its dying in the UK

I'm going to vote for two movies that I personally enjoyed, Clear And Present Danger(tho the book is better), I think Harrison Ford is Jack Ryan in the same way Kiefer is Bauer, Killing Zoe is also a great Tarantino film

Like I've said beforee, Im so glad that I have never gone through the agony of a play off

Well I think you are a little misguided there mate, but its your opinion and you are entitled to it, but I'd like to know where the rapist charge came from, given that all charges were dropped against the three players in question, of which none of them turn out for the national team, and also you discount hardworking players like Beckham, Gerrard, Scholes, BUTT, John Terry, Wayne Bridge and so on, but I do have a little soft spot for Latvia just for Marian Pahars, but I bet when you wrote that little uninformed post, you didn't have a clue who he was did you?

I would love to have Bridge back, hes a fucking great player

Well I've done a bit of hunting around for our American friends, and what I have found is this, DirecTV will have all games live on PPV(which seems a little weird considering its free in the countrys where it will be most popular lol), Fox Sports Worl will have most games on a 72 hour delayed time, and TSN will cover all games live.
