Advertisements I Miss

I don't think Americans got this one, but we did. All the time. And now it's gone.

The New Football Season Has Begun

From the shouts on the streets, I can only surmise that Poland beat Germany, but I've been locked away from TV for an hour or two.

(Note: English football fans really hate Germany. And the Polish are in strong numbers here.)

UPDATED: I've finally bothered to look it up. I was completely wrong.

We've Failed You For The Last Time

We went a long time without posting, which is bad. Bad, naughty bloggers. Truth be told, last week was a busy week for me as I had some extra (paying) work to do. So it's money in the pocket, which is never a bad thing. But because I really have nothing to say, though, maybe I should ask somebody else, like maybe Heywood Banks, to entertain you:

That Worked Out Well, Didn't It?

Boris' Tube drinking ban ended up making things worse:
Thousands of people have marked the banning of alcohol on London transport with a party that ended with arrests, assaults and cancelled trains.
Drinkers, many in fancy dress, gathered on Tube trains and station concourses in a last celebration before the ban came into force at midnight.
But police said what should have been a fun event came to an "unfortunate" end.
Six Tube stations were closed, while police made 17 arrests. Six assaults were reported on Tube staff and police.
There were also numerous reports of damage to Tube trains, which led to suspended services.

Think George W. Bush and the Middle East, only with beer.


UPDATED: London/Diamond Geezer is right.
