Went to the CMA Music Fest in Nashville t'other week and half of the acts were Blokes In Hats. All pretty interchangeable music-wise, too, though I do like a good twang. Off to see one of them (Brad Paisley) in Shepherd's Bush tomorrow night actually. Ever had an urge to sleep with your siblings, or excessively praise God? I'm an only child who grew up listening to Cannibal Corpse. Frankly, I'm conflicted. The god (and blind patriotism/pro-military) stuff is quite amusing to see up close, if only as a form of social observation. Country also seems to attract an awful lot of fat people among its fanbase, even by American standards, so that's good for a giggle too.

I can understand it before/after the game, but when they cut to a five-minute report on England at half-time in another game it's taking the piss a bit.

Being anti-Greek is plain common sense though. It's just a shame it's the Argies who benefit.

Just missed a golden chance to win it for them.

Want some corn chips to go with your Africa amigo? We all clearly misheard the poor fella, he actually said he'd eat a Frikadelle. Mind, that's not much better.

"He died like a true Geordie - with pastry crumbs down his shirt."

France for the build-up, the teamsheet, the anthems and the first 5-10 minutes to see what their attitude's like. Then over to Mexico-Uruguay if it's as shite as expected.

He said the only reason he got his job was because he had a good idea in what he was doing but I wouldn't really have a clue tbh. So it'd be best for me to go to uni. This time next year i'll be getting ready for uni, facking hell.. Just be cautious with where the "don't have a clue" approach lands you. My fella didn't have any better ideas and thought he was interested in Eastern Europe, so he ended up on a four-year Serbian, Croatian and Eastern European Studies course, year abroad slumming it in Belgrade and all - only to end up working in the (paid) charity sector afterwards. Mind you, if you're genuinely interested in the subject and you're up for the financial commitment and all, then obviously why not - you learn far more than just academic stuff as a smelly stoodent, after all.

A steady diet of Tom Waits interspersed with whatever else takes my fancy on Spotify. Mostly country stuff. Nashville has that effect on you.

I've already done better on the first day of Wimbledon than I have on the entire World Cup. Time for a change of tack I think.

I'm bemused that anyone could have watched the top flight regularly over the last few years and only now be worried about defensive formations and tactics.

Just confused. His dad shouted his son's new name to get his attention, Kevin took it literally and used him like one, and the rest is painful history.

Gotta love Carvalho trying to get a North Korean player sent off even at 7-0 up. Pure class.

I had it coming.

Tell you what, the North Koreans are 1 down and probably going to lose this by a cricket score now, but their right-back just did this perfectly dinked little pass along the wing that the commentators didn't even acknowledge. If that had been a Ronaldo or even a Glen Johnson, they'd have spunked all over it. I have no idea what my point is really.

So does Kevin's dad. Don't tell me that's why there was no update?

http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...st&p=751081 I'm confident we'll get to the semis Technically this means you have to change your name to I'm A Cunt if we don't.

No update last night? I feel all empty now.

Good to see he still starts every interview with "Well-lla" I'm still waiting for him to continue "bless my soul, what's wrong with me?"

Well they've managed to get Kaka suspended for a game they need Brazil to win. Clever...

Belated payback for Rivaldo against the Turks I suppose.

Bunch of tarts

He'll go anyway, whether we go out now or in the quarter-finals as usual. Poisoned chalice of a job.

It is still a shockingly weak group. We just didn't appreciate that we were part of that.
