This reminds me of my childhood. There was a movie theater right near my school, and my church. I used to go to church school on Wednesdays, was like an hour in the afternoon. After that I would be waiting for my bus (which at that time went every 20 minutes or so), so I was really bored. Would often go to the movie theater and just hang around there, pick up some brochures, buy candy etc. They had an ATM there. Well, a bored 12-year-old, an ATM, nothing much to do really. Then I discovered the only thing I could do without a bank card was print the exchange rates. I had nothing better to do.. for some reason, pressing that button three times crashed the ATM machine. I had three slips of paper with the current rates and the machine was 'out of order'. The next time I would come back, it was fixed, I would crash it again.

ahh yes, the wonders of petty civil vandalism... I used to know the codes on public phones that would make them display an "out of service" message on the screen, and another that would cause the phone to start ringing after I put down the handset. Nothing like free entertainment as a child, and watching passers by cautiously walk past, tempted to answer but too scared to, definitely qualified
Why are people so jealous of Barcelona? The same personel who continue to whine about them are the same who blasted them for holding the ball away from Liverpool for an entire five minutes a few seasons ago. I mean come on, give credit where it is due... Barcelona deserved to win the trophy and League and that's the end of the story.
And to be honest I'm not sure how one could admire Chelsea while despise Barcelona... if dirty tricks and games is what you like then perhaps it could make sense.

Gray - that sounds cool but payphones are a source of irritation for me. I always want to call them like in the movies, but I can never figure out their numbers boo
Jealousy is such a strong word. If you mean by that that I would love Messi and Ronaldinho to play for Juventus, you're right, but if you mean I would like my team to play like Barca you're wrong.
I can honestly say I want my team to play football the way Italy did during the World Cup. Other than Barcelona they played possession football against Germany with an actual gameplan. In the end only two or three Barca passes actually go deep and are threatening and they almost always come from Ronaldinho, Messi or Xavi. All in all Barcelona is far from a great team. Hell, even I could tap the ball back to Xavi forty times. And what about their unwillingness to provide Zambrotta on the wing? Plain stupid if you ask me.
I understand why people would admire Chelsea. Unlike Barcelona they try to play as fast as possible. Whereas you could compare Rijkaard with having tea with your grandmother, Mourinho takes you on the rollercoaster. That said I'm not a fan of Robben's or Drogba's antics.
