The English are coming!

There’s a convoy of about a hundred vehicles following the England supporters around the country, these are not your everyday camper-vans as you might expect, oh no, they belong to our Riot Squad!

A pal of mine who works in the Police Service phoned me and said that he’s never seen so many in his life. Okay, he’s too young to have worked during ‘the you know what’ for ‘you know who’ when sights such as these were common but that of course was 20 years ago.

The Bali Watch

As some of you might know, my son and I are lovers of motorbikes, we don’t ride them much, we are more into building them for a sort of hobby kind of thing.

Here is a picture of the latest frame we picked up early this very morning, it’s not the actual frame, I found the picture on the net, the second picture is also from the net but it kind of resembles the new bike we’re going to build. Continue reading “The Bali Watch”

The match of the Century

Brazil is soon to play Portugal, the Brazilian coach has already stated – “If we don’t win I’m going to have trouble when I get home”

That’s the nice way of saying that if Brazil loses the match then he best not return home, exile on foreign soil is always preferable to been turned into a human bonfire by an angry Brazilian crowd (it has happened a few times during national competitions)

The Portugese team is awesome, in their last meeting against Argentina in South America they destroyed the argentinians and left them knowing they stand no chance against them.

Regardless of who wins however, I urge you all to watch this one game, it will be your only chance “ever” of actually watching a real game of BEAUTIFUL SOCCER.

What’s more, I can assure you, this one match will have very few fouls or dirty tricks, both teams will be playing the real game, a show of skills meant as a tribute to their home crowds.

Forget the British, The Uruguayans or anyone else, when it comes to true soccer, this one game will truly be the match of the century.

What’s more, since both teams have already qualified for the final 16 there is a real possibility both teams might meet again for the finals. If this happens then this World Cup might well become the best World Cup EVER.

On Redheads

The little exchanges on redheads in another post prompted this reflection. When I first moved to a Slav country – Serbia – I noticed that the prevalence of Blonde and Red hair, and Blue and Green eyes is much greater in Slav populations than amongst the English. I say English because it seems that redheads are more common amongst the Scots and Irish, though not blondes, I think?

It also seems that blonde and red hair, and blue and green eyes are found more often in women than men – though that might be observational bias 🙂 I don’t think so, though, just running all the familiar faces from the office through my mind seems to confirm it. Anyway, these are all stock photos, except the lady in the red top :-)but they give an idea – all mature ladies, note, no barbies or bimbos here.
