Cathy: Maybe a little but I'd like to be more, more, more! lol

Chloe: he he I couldn't think of any other flower and tulips are really elegant. Pessoa is wondefully complex. I don't think there's much to understand about football, what I enjoy is the emotion and the competetivity - I might have an excess of testosterone in me..:P

Kimananda: Eu também :) But it's so sad - only suitable for certain moments.

Madelyn: I think you'll like them. Pessoa is the greatest portuguese poet - well, actually he's a lot of poets because he had a lot of heteronyms. Florbela is probably the most famous female poet over here - she had a very tragic life and her poems are a reflection of that.

Connie: Thank you. I'd be happy to send you a card if you like :)

I enjoyed the match. I thought Del Horno deserved to go and cant see what the fuss is about. I think Chelsea still stand an outside chance at Camp Nou

Esuoh: it was a good game, despite not many chances of goal. I have to admit Mourinho is a bad loser but maybe the red card was a bit too harsh. Anyway, it's easy to lose against an attack with Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Messi and Larsson. I can't believe they were all playing at the same time..

Madelyn: Don't worry ;) I'm glad you like it.
