I wouldn't mind if Croatia go through. They're the smallest country in the tournament I think? So they've done really well.
That would be nice, yes. 
Although, some of the fans have been numpties. :/
Did you see Chris Packham's new show last night? Very interesting, just glad I wasn't eating... quite a few bugs.
Will watch it on iplayer cos it clashed with the footy.
I v+ed it... Nice to see someone climb a massive tree and have the decency to look knackered... the anti-Backshall. 
heh heh
I'll catch it tomorrow, oh and I must catch with the end of Springwatch too *nods*
Enjoy.
Saw it
That orangutan was funny, giving Chris a real look up and down.
Yeah, there's a two page picture of that Orangutan and Chris in the radio times (last week's for this week's telly) which is very sweet. I love Orangs.
What did you think of the hummingbird footage? Might've been better without His giant head floating about in the background. XD
I thought it was quite impressive if a bit showy-offy.
Who do you want to win in the footy tonight Hitch? I'm going for the Czechs.
I think Chris can be a bit show off-y. Add in the BBC...
Yes, was going for the Czechs too... sadly he who shall not be named ruined that. 
Tonight shall be Greece, they haven't got a hope in hell, but they do have our wee Samaras. *nods*
The one who used to play for Man U? I dislike him just for the amount of oily gunk he puts in his hair 
C'mon the Greeks tonight!
The BBC have tamed Chris for this series though. No mentioning song titles, no knee rubbing, no overt geekiness.
Yes, he's how shall not be named is hated for many a reason... that is one.
They have. He did say on twitter though that he's perhaps running out of bands he knows well enough to play the game with. I'm sure we'll get a knee rub at some stage... we must! I demand it!
He's getting his geekiness out on twitter leading up to the episodes... he was a spam-monster on Sunday.
I didn't think he'd be a twitter type, but as long as he's being a science geek on it...
Does he mention pandas? He doesn't like giant pandas; or at least the resources spent on keeping them going as a species.
He hasn't that I've seen. I did see that article in the radio times though, and the one a year or so later with Martin disagreeing with him.
I suppose not being swayed by cute, fluffiness is a good trait to find in a naturalist... but I am. lol Martin's show... as soon as I saw the mother panda with her baby I completely fell in love with pandas.
Pandas don't do much for me, but then I love warthogs. I am officially strange 
Ireland 60-0 in the rugby! Is there no end to our humiliation? [ Hangs head in shame]
I didn't really like then too much... until I saw the mother + baby. Saw them in China, was interested in the strange colourful birds flying around me.
Have warmed to Chris too... I never liked him in the 80s (well, I'm sure I liked him on first sight... just not after he spoke a few times. lol).
Ouch! Who were you playing? Ireland are normally good. (wont mention the Scotland result)
The All Blacks.
I thought Chris loved himself in the 80's, with his Billy Idol hair.
Yes that was it... That and his, not sure what to call it, the way he still is... not quite grumpiness... 
Ironicly, it's exactly the reason I like him now. I guess I'm just not as soft as I used to be.
Looking good for his age though...
Yes its not quite grumpiness, I can't think of the right word either.
He's a very singular character.
Oh and isn't it naff the way they have to put "secret" into programme titles now when its not secret.
*nods* I suppose it does balance out nicely with the fluffily sweet Martin. I like them together.
Oh yes! Like every single Brian Cox thing! Now, there is someone I really don't like... Ok, you don't agree with someone's (anyone's?) beliefs, no need to be a dick about it! I unfollowed him rather quickly. *nods*
he's allright, but his programmes do sort of blend into each other.
I got bored with his shows rather quickly. lol
Oh! Did I show you my friend's husband's webseries? He's Rowan.
Heh heh that was well done, it looked really professional 
Kind of reminded me of a R4 series called Elvenquest.
I enjoyed it too. It goes modern day at some point, so no idea if he'll be in any more episodes.
In other news, I can't find my Italy top and am sad.
Aww shame have you something else blue to wear?
I'm kind of supporting England tonight as I like this team. Not too many prima donnas in it, plus I've always liked Gerrard. Also Roy Hodgson is so cute, I think he looks like a Womble.
He does... Wombleness is abundant. But I think he's proven himself enough...and I'm a 16th Italian. lol
I'm feeling blue that I can't find the top and wearing blue jeans... that counts!
England took one hell of a beating.
They played like wombles. No, scrub that... Tomsk wouldn't have missed a penalty.
Hope you can find your top for the semi final
To be fair to Ashley Young, should never have got to penalties... have you seen the stats for shots on/off target? Italy should've had it sewn up in the 90 minutes.
Although, Pirlo's penalty was class... I'm glad we got that. Also that Diamanti got the winning penalty since the commentators kept calling him a "West Ham reject"... 
Germany... I imagine will win the semi, but I'll have fun hoping not.
oh yeah... I was singing "underground overground, wombling free..." at random intervals during that game. Thanks. lol
Were you? lol
Roy does look like a womble though... I keep expecting him to twitch his nose to the side.
I will be supporting Italy and I really think they can beat the Germans. They held Spain to a draw after all
Pirlo - his penalty was fearless. Wow!
I was indeed.
Yay... I have 3 days to find this top. Hopefully, will been able to join in the supporting proper.
Was wonderful, made the goalie look a bit of an idiot.
See Packham yet this week? Lots of interesting cute, fluffy things... Ok, one of the cute things wasn't fluffy persay... nevermind.
I'll watch it tomorrow on my exercise bike - I always treat myself to something good to watch while I'm pedalling away.
Yes! Pirlo made Joe Hart look like a silly little boy 
According to the official app, Pirlo is a year older than me and Buffon 2 years... I deem the Italian sun bad for aging. 
I used to get annoyed during Ukraine matches... "Shevchenko is old and slow now."... 4 years older than me! 
You shall indeed enjoy Packham. I wish to see inside his brain at some point, because I'm convinced now that he is mental. (not show based)
I shall fit CP in between Wimbledon matches [ oh good, I like him when he's mental ].
Didn't Klinsman say Italy are a bogey team for Germany? Thats hopeful.
He's not so mental on the show. except when he pretends to be a giraffe because... you'll see *ick*.
Oh! Did he? *excites*
CP wasn't as mad as on Springwatch. A lot must be edited out.
Amazing that he could film so close to all those animals and they weren't bothered. I loved the little Australian quoll [the polka dotted one].
I'd imagine so. I also imagine there's a producer with a big stick saying "stay on script".
That said, this seems to be something he takes very seriously. He's almost poetic talking about it on twitter. Which is.. umm... kind of nice actually.
That was cute. The bandicoot was my favourite, much cuter than nintendo would have you believe. I have to say though, the concept of a marsupial weirds me out slightly. I can't deal with pregnant people. lol
Yes its great to have someone so genuinely appreciative of nature presenting it. Like the old days when they had actual experts presenting. I hate the way now they put any old jobbing presenter into science or nature programmes.
Like Richard Hammond and Julia Bradbury on Planet Earth Live- what was the bliddy point of that?
So much better! *nods* I never saw Planet Earth Live, I think I was put off by the presenting team. It's not like they don't have enough presenters... even Iolo if everyone else was busy (especially if there's pufflings involved. ).
