This will surprise a few people Cristiano Ronaldo has faced and played a number of extremely tough defenders throughout his career. From Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Sergio Ramos and Marcelo, to Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol, the Portuguese star has stood toe-to-toe with the very best. While the Real Madrid star now consistently bullies and bruises defenders for the fun of it, things weren't always so easy for him. As a younger player at Old Trafford the-then winger would often find himself on the receiving end of rough treatment. In a recent interview Ronaldo was asked exactly who he would choose as the toughest of all those bruisers he has played against throughout his career and you'd have been forgiven for thinking it would be one of his foes at Barcelona or Italians such as Georgio Chiellini and Andrea Barzagli. But no, when asked that exact question on Spanish TV show El Chiringuito FC, Ronaldo paused for a moment and then, said simply: Ashley Cole. The two faced...

Women have for long been described as chatty and loud mouthed beings. Most of them beg to differ with the generalisation that has been passed onto them over the years.

Codeine: useful and useless side Following the Federal Government’s ban of cough syrups with codeine content, in reaction to widespread addiction, the searchlight has beamed on codeine, easily one of the world’s most common painkillers. The question on most people’s lips is this: Is codeine a curse or blessing? Studies have show that codeine may be unsafe, ineffective and potentially addictive when taken regularly. Growing concern about codeine, which has been used as a painkiller for about 200 years, has emerged from recent DNA studies showing that people with different genetic make-ups respond differently to the opioid drug, which is inactive until it is broken down inside the body into highly addictive morphine. The variability of people’s response to painkillers containing codeine, combined with its potentially addictive nature when taken regularly, led Professor Noni MacDonald of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Professor Stuart MacLeod of the University o...
