Okay, this has got nothing to do with football, but the Miss Universe contest is coming up in a few days and its always good for a bet. If anyone is interested we could have a tipping comp... with a bit of a twist. If everyone can pick out their top 3, give them 3, 2 and 1 votes then I will add up all the votes and pick out the top few and put a couple of dollars on each, and if any of them win chuck the winnings in on the banner/flag. eg: 3 - Country a 2 - Country b 1 - Country c Here's the site: www.missuniverse.com/index2.htmlThere are a lot of entries to go through - but we have until May 30. Have fun ;D |

Nothing with too many syllables.
Hawkins had the problem of being Aussie and a model.
