What happens when the same country are in the final (just like badminton or table tennis) who do you support?
A horse walks into a bar and the bartender asks, "Why the long face?"


A pony walks into the bar and whispers, "I'll have a beer, please." The barkeeper asks, "Why are you whispering?".
"I'm a little hoarse."

Well done, you did better than me! Nothing again, I wonder if it's because I am trying at the child prices because was online when they became available.

Neither, unless you are related to them or particularly love one of them, you think of the good of the country :).

I had no luck before using the links as I was trying with ticketmaster and apparantly they have been listing events that are sold out or don't have tickets. As soon as twitter alerted I went straight to site, having made sure I was already logged in, the other link checks up to 5 events for you and an alarm sounds on tickets being available with ticket category listed and a link, puts you ahead of the pack so to speak. I have been here most of today and tickets have been popping up intermittently all day but only got some when a pile were released at once around 6.30pm. There have been a few £20ers but they seem to go in an instant (my broadband speed is not as fast as some others.)
