Ok, so I have to download something that will fix it? Well, being a windows user, thats nothing new. And I will have to look up which other alphabet also uses "š" so that it gets through here. I suspect the Italians - its just like them to screw around with us.
Until then I will have to resort to transliterations -the horror!

Why only some come through? Yes, I can explain it. HTML markup code only supports certain letters (code) by default. Russian (Cyrillic) doesn't include all letters in the standard ASCII character set. Same goes for those who have tried to show a Judas Priest font here. Such a font set would have to be downloaded by the user to be seen properly.
Same goes for most diacritics that are not part of the standard ASCII code.

Engleski je za pedere! That, and you dont speak the queens English - except if that queen is Joy Farrah Darville Hickey Turner, wife (and sister and cousin, and probably dad as well) of Earl Jehoshaphat Hickey the first.
Maybe you should try to learn cyrillic, to be more like the worlds best looking past and future president? If not a few of those silly letters would do you good. Then at least you could find places like Nju Jork, Vošington, Los En?eles or Gothem on the map.
Setting aside the bullshit, I hope you will have a good time in Brazil - and I hope that the Brazilians dont. They won it far too many times, maybe they should let someone else have the honour once in a while.

Oh, so you are a baseball fan, then? Good. You and Freeze can play together online. His fantasy team (I think they were called "the bench warmers") against yours. Do let us know how the battle turns out, eh? At least let us know when you are going to do the 7th inning stretch so we can go grab some refreshments (he'll certainly explain that to you).
Djokovic, though for "?okovi?" - Hmmm...remember that your silly letters don't translate here. Get in step with the rest of the civilized world and speak in the Queen's English, won't you? At least use the King's.
As for Pacman, you had it there?! Did it arrive last year? What were the names of the ghouls that chased ol' Pac around? Dclovic, Blavlovic, Kravokocic and Phil? LOL!!!!
Look for me in Brasil during the next World Cup. I volunteered to help clean out the street crime so that the players can make it to the stadiums. Seriously, worst part is flying into Rio's Galeao airport and trying to get to the Maracaná stadium. I plan to exert my AUTHORITAH!

I dont think he knows either very well, but he could probably tell you that its spelled ?okovi?, not Djokovic. As for Jelena - Let me remind you that Nole has a very strong hand... Which can mean a lot of things and none of them are good for you.
Nascar? I had a video game about that - loooong ago. The level of boring was second only to pac man.
You did root for the Spanish in the final tho. No matter if they werent your first choice - the Dutch certainly werent mine. But we will meet again (maybe) in Brazil in three years.

Not interested, eh. Yeah, I guessed that you were more a NASCAR fan. "Turn to the left, turn to the left, turn to the left." HAAAAAA!!!! Still, can your neighbor introduce me to Djokovic? Better yet, how about his girlfriend?
On the tennis note, I am very glad to see that Serena lost in straight sets. Her bitching and moaning about this, that and the other just gets to me. Starting some low-class fight with the chair umpire this time around? WTF?! She has a habit of conveniently forgetting about those arguments as well.
As for fuuuutbol, you know that I put Spain second against Brasil. Always have. I put both in front of México in terms of my fav teams. That said, Spain is doing pretty well in the Davis Cup (tennis). Ah, but who cares about that....go back to NASCAR! turn turn turn turn lol

Well, not honestly interested, and not actualy seen the match, I AM glad that Nole won... Although come to think of it, it might be better if he didnt. My neighbour happens to be his countryman, and the match is all Ive been hearing about for the last three days...
BUT... I AM very dissapointed that you are glad Nadal lost. I was hoping for at least some kind of revenge after your Spanish won the FIFA world cup last year... No matter, my time will come.

Holy crappola, Batman! Someone else was interested?!?
Well, I am actually THRILLED that Nadal got his ass handed to him! Hell, he picks at it so much, it was about time someone served it up on a silver platter (heh...not a silver cup). Honestly, I am still a Federer fan but I fear that the old man's time might have passed. After all, he is 30.
Djokovic was ranked #1 for a reason. Some of those returns were just out of this world. I was particularly happy to see that Novak has, apparently, gotten over his "I have an owie" phase where he would bow out of a match with the slightest of aches. THAT was really pissing me off. There, I'll give Rafa credit. See when he went into cramps during the press conference? The Novak of old would have called it quits right there.
Best man won, without a doubt. GO non ass-picking SERBS!
