Eng-ger-land!!

Well done the lads!! What a result!! 4 - 1 (Football. Real football that is - not that strange game Americans play). World Cup qualifier against Croatia. First time Croatia have been beaten at home. Excellent. Altogether now... Three lions on a shirt, Jules Rimet still gleaming. thirty years of hurt never stopped me dreaming....Ok. Done celebrating.

And yes - I was wearing my England boxers and my England socks. See I told you they were lucky charms. I'm glad I didn't break the luck by wearing them to the tapas bar. Though I expect the tapas bar staff wish I had.

Hey. Did you all realise that it's a special date today for those countries that use the Common Era dates. At least it is in the 99.99% of the world that does it logically. For those like us who use ascending order (western hemisphere & ex-Empire usually) it's 10 - 9 - 8 and for those who use descending order (eastern hemisphere generally) it's 8 - 9 - 10. Of course for the other 0.09% - otherwise known as the USA - who don't use any kind of logical system, rebels that they are - it's not a special date at all.

Though tomorrow is. No more joking around. Tomorrow needs quiet reflection.

On with the updates. Enjoy your reading and don't forget to feed the bards...
