OK, greatest sportsman including games has to be Ronnie. He makes everyone else look average at best, can play equally with his weaker side and has won everything the sport (game) has to offer. As a snooker player who knows how hard the sport (game) is I think he is super human, what he has done with his fragile mental state is phenomenal, he has more talent in his little toe nail than I could ever hope for.

I can see your view, I wouldn't include Golf being a sport by that criteria though

Darts is a pub game, snooker is in a different league mate

have you ever played it? it's not exactly easy

I just think that O'Sullivans talent is another level to anyone else's, if he was a sane person with his talent no-one would be close to him

Hard one to judge really, hard one to call but I'll say I'm a bit undecided. Ronnie O'Sullivan is supremely talented that he makes everyone else in his sport seem like amateurs so he is mine, but praise has to be given to Roger Federer and Messi

Assumptions and theory's are all we have when dealing with this topic. true, we can never be right, we can only assume.

Check this out

I'm not even close to being religious, assumptions shouldn't ever come near a science thread

Thessaloniki has more bars and cafe's per capita than anywhere else in Europe. During the evening the streets are filled with people enjoying themselves, all the bars are very bespoke and wonderfully decorated. It's a million miles away from the nights out in the UK, the drinks are expensive though as a downside. Wikitravel do a good write-up on the place. Back to Bulgaria now, Bedroom club in Sofia is amazing, the walls are carpeted in carpets that are meant to enhance the music, there is no expense spared there, it's so plush!

Yeah Athens is surprisingly big, one of Europes biggest cities. I don't think Thessaloniki is particularly touristy either, it's a very young and studenty kind of city which I think makes it feel so vibrant but with none of the trashy feel vacation places often feel. I'd definitely recommend it as a place to visit, it's like Spain without the anti-british vibe

I've been to many westernised countries and this trip was to see the opposite side of life really, particularly Bulgaria (could of been Ukraine, Belorussia, Russia etc.). Graffiti is something that certain cultures don't mind, it didn't put me off really and I found Thessoloniki a really inspired place to be, it didn'y seem like they was in an economic slump at all and the people were very proud of their national identity whilst realising they had made mistakes. I thought the Bulgarian dishes were very nice to be honest too. I didn't like the way the country was run, people with respectable jobs like University lecturers and air traffic controllers who I'd met had the same wage as you'd get on jobseekers, yet the mafia there was very evident and very well off. So much to say on the place really if you have any questions Edit: worked out well being in Sofia the time I was as Stan's match was on, worked out well. Amazing how many Dortmund fans were there for the CL final too, the Irish pub was overun by them. Yeah going down the main shopping street in Sofia you see so many pretty girls it's unreal, they must have a gene there or something that makes them like that, Thessaloniki was the same and Veliko Tarnovo. When I went to France it was the opposite, a few nice girls seperated by a thousand rough tarted up attempts at pretty girls.

I certainly am not religious, I still think why is a question that needs to be asked to better understand what we don't. It's fine being able to model scenarios, but surely we should strive to be able to know the reasons

I'd call it a leathery (because of the dry sugar powder) but tastey experience at first but then the juices flow which makes it succulent, it's different to anything else you'd normally eat really

I always have at least 1 box every christmas as a present, very predictable now but it wouldn't be the same without it. They make Turkish Delight in Bulgaria too, treated myself to a box when I was over there

Turkish delight is lovely, got to suck it whilst breaking it up with your tongue. I don't mind the fry's chocolate surrounded stuff either, I quite often get that at the cinema

As I'm from Lincolnshire I know a few Grimsby fans, their club has fallen down the tables from a few years ago. It wasn't long ago that they were in the Championship play-offs, now things look to be more stable at least but they are a long way off where they were Edit: Also Lincolnshire having over a million inhabitants, none of the teams (Lincoln, Scunthorpe, Boston, Grimsby) have ever been brilliant. I may be wrong but I don't think they have ever been in the top league

Yeah that's what I meant by 'why'. Just a re-worked version

I think Milton Keynes is the largest urban area to have never had a football league club until recently when MK dons moved there

There would be absolutely no need for theoretical science if everything was to be just accepted as they are though, and then there would be no breakthroughs in understanding. The fact is we don't fully understand things, so it is important to ask questions to look for answers

Yeah Nigel that's my point, the how is pretty much the mechanics of the subject, the why would be what leads to them behaving in the way the subject does so. In no way would I suggest there is a motive or creator behind the universe, however nothing can be ruled out.

I'm a grower too. I was in Rouen in July and I met up with these Romanians at a BBQ outside the hotel I was staying in, to cut a long and entertaining night story short, we ended back at the hotel with one lady between the 4 of us. I had never participated in such things before and felt a bit uneasy with it so I had a bit of stage fright! I got my end away once they had been thrown out of the over-strict hotel for making too much noise. The smallest lad there had by far the biggest dick, so you can never tell

I get you now, I was very naive to believe there to be a why thinking about it

I think how and why will be one and the same really. It will most probably turn out to be a process of some description thus the 2 answers will be interlocked. Id say the answer will be quite far off mind! Then the follow on question would be 'why is the process occurring?' It will be a never ending series of questions, our understanding of 'how' will hit a brick wall at 'why' in my opinion

Yeah, I'd read that. That number is a number that means nothing though. To think that everything has come from a single point of pure energy is crazy, you can't get your head around that can you
