Still no news on if ITV1 +1 will launch on Virgin Media on that date.

According to the Digital Spy story "ITV1+1 will commence broadcasting on all digital TV platforms on January 11, 2011". There have been a few incorrect stories over there of late though...

Not bad, I think that's just over a tenner less than the advertised price assuming you just have 1 additional V+ although that dosen't include Sky HD on the second box so it would be about Â£17 less if you do which would be even better.

Does the 50mb involve an engineer install, if so that's really quick isn't it.

Maybe that and a period of exclusivity with Sky, a bit like Film4 HD which still hasn't appeared on Sky five months after it's launch on VM.

Mind you ITV2/3/4 HD don't seem to be impressing a lot of their viewers if the DS forums are anything to go by.

But answer me this, if it was only countries such as Australia, Canada and NOT the US would you be using it so freely now? No I didn't think so;)

As Rugby Football (Rugger for short - "a hooligans' game played by gentlemen") pre-dates Association Football (Soccer for short - "a gentleman's game played by hooligans") as the first formalised football game in English Public Schools, the latter should really always be referred to in full to distinguish it from the former or any other game of football. However, since it's mass adoption by hooligans, it has become the default when the term football is used without qualification in England.

Cricket is the national sport of England, despite what football aficionados tend to spout around World Cup time (1966 and 2010) or World Cup hosting bid time.

So what are the national sports of the other constituent countries of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?
