    Whoever has Cutler can keep him.

    As a Packers fan, I'm fine with him right where he is.

    Ship him to Green bay or Minnesota - I would be ecstatic:cool:

    No thanks, we've got another great QB. And Minnesota will probably have our last great QB for at least one more year. Maybe you can get Detroit to take Cutler?

    I am sure the Raiders would take him...

    I don't know, I mean he was bad last year, but I don't think he was that washed up.

    In 2 days the madness begins

    Madness began at midday today.

    I saw the pictures from Sandton, and I feel with you. Wasn't much better here. At 12:00 all the MTN guys from across the road from us walked out with their Vuvuzelas and congregated on the middle island of the main road through Century City. What a racket. And then of course all of our guys had to storm the balconies to prove that we can even make more of a racket. Went on for like half an hour until everyone ran out of breath :w00t:

    Not that I can see. Base on the limited and incomplete information being provided, it does seem as if he or she is getting the error from trying to enter data for which there is no corresponding parent.

    A parent based on a foreign key that he just added. Huh???

    I'm guessing that there's data with an implied relationship that's never been made explicit through an actual key. I've seen far too many tables that have a column referencing another table without having a foreign key declared.

    That or they're poulating the child first

    Or not fully populating the parent first

    Or the data is coming from two sources that should be mirrors of each other, but aren't

    Or they've made a redesign on the new server, but the data isn't as complete as they think

    I'm sure there are other ways for it to happen too, these are just the ones I run across most frequently.

    Gail, can I go directly to that link, or do I need to send you a pidgeon?

    I'm always here, just lurking in the shadows. 😉

    The undersea cables seem to be operational this week, so you might get away with going direct. According to the top-secret schedule that I have, the undersea cables will be faulty again next week, so you'll likely need a swallow then. African, of course. 😀

    I just can't see women playing football. I played rugby in college, and the women's team was a whole different game. The level of violence just seems so contained.

    Steve I don't mind watching them, especially LFL http://www.lflus.com/[/url] 😀

    Oh my God, that's an awful noise.

    I just remembered it from Confederations Cup in SA last year, that sound made me crazy, I just couldn't watch the game :w00t:

  • Oh, you're talking about Hand Egg? I thought you were talking about Football....

    I would recommend you actually start watching the football, the USA actually have more than a decent chance this time....

    I don't think I've ever heard it called "Hand egg" before. That's a pretty funny one. However, doesn't that mean yours should be called "anything but handball"? : -)

  • Football doesn't need a new name, it has one, and has had since it was invented, giving it a new one because you've hijacked it for handegg (or "Rugby for girls", as I prefer to think about it) is about as silly as the Baseball (read: "Rounders") world series. I'm almost hoping the USA beat England on Saturday just so you'll start using proper words for things.
