The Weekend That Was … Sunday 31/1/2010

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Another week of sport has passed into the record books, with this weekend in particular ranging between the sublime and ridiculous. Whilst one Wayne Mark Rooney duly completed a century of Premiership goals, the headlines will probably focus on the achievements of a tearful Scotsman, and the bizarre antics of ...

Guyana – South America meets Caribbean

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

There are some wonderfully random, yet woefully pointless profiles on Facebook. I am sure that I came across a group with 2 members quite recently ... I could not help thinking that it would be easier to email each other! One of the most fascinating profiles that I discovered recently was ...

A Crimson Shade of Red

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

There are a few reasons why people would turn a darker shade of red, the most obvious being anger and embarassment. Those with a deep interest and love for Liverpool Football Club should have felt both of those emotions tonight. Of course, it is not 'TheLiverpool Way' to show anger or ...

The Cream of Social Media …

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

I can scarcely believe that we're already at THAT point in the weekend ... you know, the one where we're already thinking of all the things that need doing on Sunday, and the early night before Monday - which will be here all too soon! It has been a good weekend. ...

Acceptable? A Look at my Eighties …

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Found myself strolling down memory lane the other evening, and have had a slight feeling of nostalgia ever since. With that in mind, I decided to take a slightly different approach to today's Hamstring post. So after a certain period of deliberation, I decided to come up with my 10 favourite ...

Help Haiti – Drop the Debt

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Hi Everyone Like millions of people around the world I've been shocked by the terrible events in Haiti. Only now is the true scale of the disaster emerging. Reports now suggest more than 75,000 people may have died, with hundreds of thousands made homeless. The work ahead to recover from this tragedy ...

Haiti I’m Sorry

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

I am unsure as to whether David Rudder was a visionary, or whether it is just tragic fate, but the words of this song have moved me to tears over recent days. For some reason, it took a friend of mine sharing this video on Facebook, for me to post it ...

RIP Bill McLaren – Voice of Rugby

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

There are some voices that you simply remember. Your parents are probably the first, and as you get older, that of your loved one and/or kids. The years in between however are when we often hear television and radio voices, often associating them with our favourite pastimes, one of which is ...

It’s Just Not Cricket … or Chocolate!

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

I think that I have found the New Year's Resolution that we will all be able to keep ... No More Chocolate in 2010! And why ... one of Britain's favourite brands is going stateside. Let us be clear on one thing before proceeding - even Americans can't stand their own ...

Happy Birthday Dr King, and Thank You

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Does anyone remember the TV Commercials by One-2-One (of course now T-Mobile) in the 1990s? They featured a number of celebrities including Kate Moss and Ian Wright, asking whom they would choose, dead or alive, for a one-to-one. Ian Wright chose Dr Martin Luther King Jr. - quite an appropriate choice Wrighty! I am ...
