Tuesday Titter

With only two sleeps to go before we all vote I see that the Tories have reverted to personal attacks (although clearly the advert above is satire!). I suppose this is natural when you simply run out of actual arguments, man I'm going to enjoy watching this lot get canned! In my own constituency our long standing (since 1987!) MP John Redwood is standing down (rats - sinking ships?) which means it's probably the best chance ever to effect a real change, let's hope it happens.

Lost & Found

I had this beer back in April and loved it, called "Leapling" it's a collaboration between Verdant and Siren (a match made in heaven) and has long since disappeared from retail outlets. However, I was in the Siren tap-yard last week picking up a few cans for the weekend and I saw some of these in the fridge, I asked the man serving if they'd re-brewed the beer but alas not, he explained that one of the warehouse chaps had moved some boxes and found a case of this beer lurking in the cold room. What luck, a case of lost and found.

England Torture

Since my (football fan) Son is home from university now, we felt inclined to watch the England vs Slovakia match yesterday evening. It was torture, Slovakia snatched an early goal and our team played terribly for 90 minutes, they were totally pedestrian! So, for most of the game we looked like we were exiting the tournament and deservedly so. Only via a last gasp effort in the dying embers of the game did we pull a goal back to force extra time. Then, in the first moments of extra time we scored again to end up 2-1 in front. It was interesting how the mood changed, the commentators and the fans seemed to go from utter disillusionment to elation in the space of about 2 minutes. I pity those fans who left the stadium early in disgust, they missed all the action, it's a funny old game.
