england v hungary - friendly

so, watched it in a 'traditional english pub' downtown.
right, so we had half a dozen tv screens on, but no sound - a selection of 80s soft rock hits were being played over the stereo, and was only told that it may offend the patrons outside if we could listen to the commentary.
great.
so in the 'royal oak' we had someone working on a laptop, an irishman who hoped england would lose, and two iranians who were simply happy to be here.
like being the in the middle of a joke, and not really the environment to get the 'en-ger-land' chants going.

and in the town didn't see one person in an england shirt, or any other footballing nation for that matter.
ice hockey my arse.

at least we won 3-1 i suppose...

so, we won the second test.
huzzah!

good knock by pietersen, even though he talks with a funny accent.

england v sri lanka 2nd test

yes england doing rather well in second test - even though they lost their last 5 wickets for 5 runs.

having to listen to it on 5live sports extra today, since the slightly dodgy live streaming on the internet wasn't happening.

day 3 tomorrow, so we shall see how we get on.

currently:

west ham 3 - 3 liverpool (liverpool win on penalties)

unbelievable game - managed to download it off the internet.
watched it tonight - shame it was a day after the event, and resorted to watching it on a 17" pc screen

couldn't sodding well find anywhere in town showing the game.
outrageous.

still, at least we are in the uefa cup next year.

anagram

just figured out that ottawa is actually an anagram of "o, a twat"

hope they are not referring to me

red bull advertisement

unreal, so watching tv the other night, and an advert for Red Bull is on.
the tagline is 'red bull gives you wings' - fine - and then a voice comes on and says 'it doesn't actually give you wings, but is an energy drink giving you vitality and contains caffeine' or something.
what, so they have to say a disclaimer in case they are sued by people who don't sprout wings when having a drink of Red Bull.

unbelievable
