What KHW had to say was particularly interesting: "Ernie's style of play is full of risk....and puts pressure on other players." I LIKE THAT!  If I had read right, he said that Ernie's error count has progressively gone lower in the course of the year....  Anyway, thanks again! Any post on Latvian culture is much appreciated, too, such as the one on bear vs. sex. LOL  |

Still no direct quote from Ernests, only comment that he is badly shaken by all these insults (as said by his friends??).

too little, too late, in my opinion. the damage is done, and is much worse when coming from your own people. they've just realized over night that he's a commodity? what an epiphany, now he's 'our outstanding'. wow, what a night they must have had ..
theatre is always an excellent choice. way to go .
thanks for the update |

Re: Ernests' news thread!
So, yaniss, do you as a true Latvian prefer bear to everything else too?  (At least the number of articles on that subject you posted suggests so...)

Re: Ernests' news thread!
Those bears keep coming back! Imagine you want to win a Latvian men's heart... You have to find a way to stock a big amount of bears in your house 
Yeah Yaniss (or is it Janis?), I wanna know that too What does beer means in your life, as a Latvian?
