Another big night at Quest field. Once again not the result I had hoped for, coming away with a 3-2 loss. Pre-game entertainment this time included the worlds biggest grill! Its not going to fit on my deck, or even the driveway. Onto the game… DC have the worst record in the league, but after a horrendous start have picked up 13 out of a…
Wayne Rooney says…
Seen in Guildford.

@sniffpetrol Dear trees, My car makes the CO2 that helps you to breath. And how do you repay it? By LEAKING SAP onto the paintwork again. You bastards. It’s Sniff Petrol once again, but quality is quality. I’m not sure how much of a secret it is who is behind Sniffpetrol.com, but loved this one.
Freddie Ljungberg Interview
I get the feeling that his future may involve a return to Europe at the end of the year.
Now I’m ready…
I thought I was ready. Cross of St George up at work, TV schedule mapped out, British pubs in Seattle area known (I admit, that research started quite a few years ago), Three-Lions on my iPod, traditional wall chart up, England shirt washed, parking at work for my late arrival sorted, Twitter and RSS feeds set up, and so on, and so on… As I…
That’s more like it – Sounders 3, NE 0
It’s clear they have not played up to potential so far and good performances have been thin on the ground. Having said that the first half of the year has not been the total disaster and the sky is not falling.
Seen today…
I stopped to get petrol on the way to work this morning and noticed this on the pump. It brought up three immediate questions. 1) Does this really happen often enough to need this warning? I mean do people really drive off with the pump hose still in the car? 2) Do we really need to let warn people that they are responsible for the…
It’s almost here…
The squad has been announced, the last of the real friendlies are played and we’ve had the usual whines from the goalkeepers about how the match ball flies strangely through the air. Lets just say I’m excited. Fabio Capello was employed by England for only one reason, to win the World Cup. That’s why he earns millions as a coach and if England get to…
Whitechapel Bell Foundry
There is a wonderful story about the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in today’s London Times. The company has been trading as a bell maker since 1570, made both Big Ben (the bell in the clock tower at Westminster) and the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia (and a few replicas for people who really do have everything). The current owner says “I do not regard myself as an…
More than football fans whine…
I was preparing what was going to be a beautiful warm cucumber and tomato salad, and then the blade slipped… I’m sitting back in the building that I’m way too familiar with, the Providence ER room. This one was rather spectacular, I’m missing a decent part of my finger. Lessons learned When jet lagged don’t cook with super sharp blades Finger bleed, a lot especially…
