If someone reads it out loud to you, is that cheating? If you read it off a monitor or a neon sign or a coffee mug instead of paper, is that cheating? Enough with the bullshit already.
First I was joking, you shouldn't have taken it that personal.

Second, if someone reads it out loud to you it is called listening NOT reading.
If you read it of a monitor, a neon sign, etc. it is still called reading, I never claimed otherwise.

Third, have a nice evening. We'll talk later I have some news to you :D

Well, repeating the same joke over and over doesn't make it any funnier. That was my point.

I know that. And the reason I still say "reading" is because most understand "extracting the contents of a text" to equate "reading". Obviously it's not a precise formulation, but we use lots of lingual shortcuts all the time.

Fine :D

Just finished reading 'Fever Pitch' by Nick Hornby for the umpteenth time.

Still the best book about football obsession around.

Just finished 'Forza Italia' by Paddy Agnew.

Very interesting read, in particular about Maradona, Juve's doping trial and Berlusconi.

You really just made a sentance with the words "Maradona" & "doping" in them, & the 2 were totally unrelated, this is surely a world 1st? :angel:

Probably is. Plenty of stuff in the Maradona chapter about his drug problems and his links to the Naples Mafia.
