Cricinfo - England need to address their balance

Cricinfo - England need to address their balance

Highly intriguing article. Do I think Uncle Ashley should go? Well, I don't know. i guess the option is an exceptional one if Edgsbaston isn't going to swing. Colly would aid our field too, despite the run-out by The King of Spain.

Do I agree with the guy? Unsure. I think its a fantastic idea, truly. Colly would field, bat and bowl if needed, plus Bell and Mikey can do some spin if needs be. I imagine until old Trafford spin for us isn't a factor, really, so why not?

Lance Armstrong

What a guy.

Awesome.

To win the hardest sporting event ever 7 years running, after overcominmg Brain, Lung and Testicular Cancer.

Wow.

The Ashes - First Test

Well, disappointing sums it all up. It started better than I could have dreamt, got a little bad, got a bit better (I was there on friday - what a player KP is. How anyone, let alone a test debutant could hammer McGrath for 4, 6 and then 4 I don't know, but it sure was great fun watching him!)and then just got depressing, and pretty much stayed that way.

We need to bat better and keep the intensity up. I'm sure we can have better performances from all but 2 players, so we can close the gap. Depsite what the Ozzies said, you take away McGrath and Warne and the team is good, not great. We have a good team too...

Roll on Edgsbaston!

Superman returns

OK, so Batman Begins totally ruled, and the X-men movies have been amazing (though the less said about plans for X3 the better ;)). Now for Bryan Singer's Superman Returns.

Well, it's Supes. We all like him (He aint Bats or the X-men, but he's still enjoyable) and next summer we'll see what he's doen with it all. The trailer should be here pretty soon, too. That'll be good. Can he make it good? Will it match the Donner movies? Will it better them? Well, he did for X-men what he did, so he can probably do it for Supes, too.

Harry potter 6 - May contain spoilers...

Well, I got this, and read this, on saturday. Very good. Up there with Azkaban and Goblet. One chapter, 23, arguably the most important in all of Harry Potter thus far. Very excitingly set-up for the final book too.

Ebay

I bid for an item yesterday, a games console. It was being sold by a guy with a feedback rating of 9 (100 % positive).

He cancelled my bid. Reason? 'Troublesome feedback'. Interesting seeing as I have 100 % positive feedback from 30 transactions!

If people choose to be weird, and cancel perfectly good bids for whatever reason they choose, I wish they'd say so, rather than inventing some scurrilous trash.

Terror attacks - London

Awful. Totally shocking. It could have been worse, yes, but that's not the point, is it?

I hope everyone is ok, or as ok as they can be.

Stevie G staying

I know I'm late with this but I thought I should mention it anyway. As long as he forgets all this transfer rubbish this season, and thus plays at 100 %, fine. If not, I'd have rather had the 35 million ;)

Gerrard on his way

So, Stevie G has decided to leave the club he's been with since a boy, supported forever and won all but the title with. Clever.

Anyway, as a result, we will get a load of money for the best man ager in the world to disperse around the football world in an aim to obtain players of the calibre of Carragher, Cisse, Alonso and co. with a view to enhancing Liverpool's standing, home and away. Excellent.

Personally, I'd like to see Essien, Robinho and Vicente/Joaquin. I somehow doubt that will happen though ;)

Nosebleeds

I've had these all my life, regularly. My earliest memory of one is in the basement of Dillons' bookstore, Oxford, and my Mum trying to get the bleeding to stop. It doesn't, not until it wants to anyway. I normally spurt out a good few hundred mls, easy.

However, being used to them does not make things any better when you wake up at 2:40 am with a bleeding nose that doesn't stop bleeding until ~ 3:11 am. Bleeding whilst half-asleep, then finding it very awkward to get to sleep again. Fun. Truly.
