Pink Floyd -- Pigs (3 different ones) from Animals
Football, eh?
After the all too familiar ‘pop’ of the over inflated England football, just a few short weeks ago, we start afresh; recast in the forge of adversity as world beaters. Our glorious new leader, fresh from spearheading Middlesboro’s assault on relegation, is setting about transforming an assembled squad of down-at-heel, underprivileged boys from the wrong side of the tracks, into a tight-knit, fearsome band of warriors in the mould of those legendary English heroes; Lord Nelson, Shaka Zulu and Prince Edward.
A new coach is complimented by a new captain who exemplifies the transformation from; lily-livered, sarong-clad, metrosexualists into the - hard as nails, sensible trousers, short back and sides, “Oi sunshine, you callin’ my pint a pooftah?” type menace, for which the nation has been waiting oh so long.
Tonight’s match is only a friendly occasion, to bed the players and the new manager in. Nevertheless, up and at ‘em eh lads?
They don’t like it up ‘em, what?
Actually, as our opponents are Greece, best scratch the above comment.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Just borrowed Pulse from my daughter ... Despite the absence of Waters ..Its a real good Concert Flick ... Disc One starts off with a bang ... with Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Learning to Fly and High Hopes.. but slows down quite a bit in the middle ... then closes with a bang...Another Brick and One of these days ..
Disc two ... All of Dark Side, Wish you Were here(song), Comfortably Numb and Run like hell...

The English media have temporarily forgotten the trials and tribulations of terrorism for the day as the annual school results day is upon us, once again. More people passing than ever before, but they’re not getting any easier, oh no.
Anyway, the media love to send their cameras down to our centres of learning as those nervous pupils trek in to acquire their little brown envelopes containing the keys to their futures. It’s a familiar story. Adolescents struggling with the fiendishly difficult tasks of remembering their own names and standing up, learn that they have achieved the ‘gold standard’ of British education; joining the elite, alongside the other 96% of candidates. So what if you have to have remedial classes at university in order to get to grips with the concept of essays, spelling or knowledge? You’re a genius ‘cos you’ve got 3 A’s and can name every ‘Big Brother’ contestant of the last 3 years.

What the media are really there for are the girls. Where else can they get away with lurid close ups of 17 year-old schoolgirls in seasonal low-cut tops, bouncing up and down in close proximity to several other 17 year-old schoolgirls in low-cut tops? That’s what it’s aal aboot, the dorty porvorts.

What-ho, fellow oblivionites.
As foretold by some trustworthy internet coves, today, August 22nd, is the end of the world. I know there’ll still be some doubters, sceptics and nay Sayers out there, steadfastly refusing to accept reality, but you won’t be laughing tomorrow, not least because it will never arrive, and you’ll be incapable of laughing at all because you’ll all be dead.
Having had some advance warning of impending global expiry, it has given the conscientious chap a change to put his affairs in order, to square those circles, if you will. So with credit limits not only reached but exceeded, a trail of exhausted prostitutes behind me and only the prospect of multiple life sentences ahead of me, we are ready to go…in your own time…whenever you’re ready.
