Daybreak
This is the view from my bathroom window at sunrise. You have to have 10x zoom eyes or a camera.... but you get my point. Beautiful

I think I wet myself..
I think the funniest thing I have seen recently is this website - www.costumedogs.com .
I find it absolutely hilarious to see the pooches dressed up for...... general piss taking, I assume.
Pray for them.

One year on...
A year ago today, after enjoying the news that London had been given the 2012 Olympics, suicide bombers struck at the heart of the Capital's transport system. Londoners showed their steely resolve and have not let the word 'terror' affect them at all.That is the way it should be.
.
Don't let terrorists win by letting them terrorise you.
52 Victims had their lives snuffed out.
I hope they are resting in peace. We will remember them today at 12 noon with a two minute silence.

Utter Dejection
Once again England crash out of a major tournament on a Penalty Shoot-out. I feared this would happen at the beginning of the World Cup and voila, here we sit, dejected and eliminated.A big hoo-harr about Ronaldo winding up Rooney is irrelevant. If England can keep 11 men on the pitch then we would stand a chance of winning before the dreaded penalties. Rooney is an angry young scouser who needs to reign himself in a bit and grow up. If he wasn't a gifted footballer then he'd no doubt be stealingcars in Merseyside and counting up the ASBO's he gets.
Oh well... end of an era.
At least me and my friend now know it is not our 'fault'. We believed there was a jinx when we watched games together. We have experianced the misery together too many times and so thought it was our fault. This time we watched the games seperately... same old England misery... not our fault.

Oh Say can you see...
America, you may not think too much of 'soccer' but one thing that should impress is the way the Anthems are sung before the World Cup games.
We have the tradition of letting the fans get on with singing their own anthems rather than a tricked up 'celebrity' butchering the nations song.
I hope at the next Superbowl or big sporting occasion you can follow the lead and put a stop to the insane warbling from the overpayed muppet sent out to ruin your anthem.
Now, wasn't that true passion?.......not to mention short.

You sir.... are an ass!
Another Article from the legend Gordon Keith
By GORDON KEITH
Lloyd Bentsen, influential Texas politician, died the other day at the age of 85.
He was probably best known to our generation as the man who put down Dan Quayle in a 1988 vice presidential debate. Quayle, fending off criticisms of his age (he was 41), mentioned in the debate that he was as old as President John F. Kennedy when Kennedy took office. A haughty Bentsen shot back, "Senator, I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine, and you, sir, are no Jack Kennedy." Bada bing! Them smarts.
Yesterday, after mourning really hard, I became curious. What are some of the other debate zingers in America's glorious past? So I slogged through YouTube.com and pulled some of the more memorable comebacks, one-liners and hearty rejoinders from our ugly political history.
George Washington vs. John Adams (1789)
Washington: I ask for your vote, not so I can win, so I can serve.
Adams: Yeah, why don't you serve some of this. (Vulgar hand motion.)
Abraham Lincoln vs. Stephen Douglas (1860)
Lincoln: And if Stephen Douglas is elected, I fear where this country is headed.
Douglas: If you get elected I fear your looks. What are you, like 6-foot-12? Grow a mustache, stop creeping everybody out and shut the hell up.
Franklin Roosevelt vs. Thomas Dewey (1944)
FDR: And if I am elected to a fourth term, I will carry America out of this world war and into prosperity!
Dewey: Let's work on being able to walk first before we carry anybody, OK?
John F. Kennedy vs. Richard Nixon (1960)
Kennedy: On college campuses across our great land, there is one name of hope on the lips of our future, and that is John F. Kennedy.
Nixon: Well, they may say John F. Kennedy, but I say F. John Kennedy. Boo-yah! (Nixon dances in place as crowd hisses.)
Bob Dole vs. Bill Clinton (1996)
Dole: I feel that tax-and-spend economics will not work on any level, and the American people deserve a president who understands conservative economics.
Clinton: Just say it. I could nail your wife. Say it. (The men chest-bump and stare each other down as Jim Lehrer attempts to separate them.)
Wouldn't it be more civil if we just elected our president American Idol style?
Seacrest: And now to sing from the Nelly catalog, here's Wesley Clark and Condoleezza Rice with "Tilt Ya Head Back" ...
Voter turnout would be a hell of a lot higher.

Eurovision
We have strange traditions in Britain. Pantomime is one which, if I had time to explain would knock your socks off America. The other is sitting down in front of the TV every year to watch the absurdity that is - The Eurovision Song Contest.
It is a parade of European countries in ridiculous oufits with mad dance routines and retro-rock and pop melodies all performing to an audience Europe-wide who then tele-vote for the best. You can't vote for your own country.
This year the highlights included a middle-aged white rapper with Britney Spears look-a-likes prancing around for the UK.
A hellish Rock act of monsters from Finland who eventually won.
A bunch of suits from Latvia yelling ' we are the Winners of Eurovision, vote for us' as part of their lyrics with little regard for a tune.
My favourites were the Germans who had a nice little Country song and were dressed like Cowboys and reminded me of Chevy Chase, Steve Martin et al in the Three Amigos...... I did mention this was the German entry....Bizarre.
This is Daz Sampson, the UK's entry. Call me mad but I quite like it..... It's also strangely arousing.

Da Vinci Code
An article by Gordon Keith. Check out Gordo's website and his Columns at Dallas 'Quick' magazine
'Da Vinci Code' is so crazy, it just may work
By GORDON KEITH
Two years ago in a sunlit office on the West Coast ...
"Jennifer, could you send in Ron Howard please?" Bob turns to Pete. "Pete, you realize that this is Potsy, that little kid from Barney Griffith?"
"Really?" The two men settle into the couch under a Kandinsky print. "I'll be damned."
"Yeah. He's sensitive about it, so don't bring it up."
The door opens. Ron Howard is all smiles, buckteeth and bald head.
"Howard, good to see you! Sit down, sit down. Cocaine?"
"No thanks."
"Well, we have read the script for The Da Vinci Code, and we just love it. Don't we Bob?"
"Absolutely, Pete."
"Great stuff. Really great stuff," Bob says. "Now, we haven't really read the script, but we are familiar with your other films. Why don't you tell us what this one is about?"
Ron Howard is a little taken aback. "It's about hidden clues in the paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci that point all the way back to a conspiracy surrounding Jesus Christ," he says.
"Perfect, just perfect! Who does Jesus kill to get the paintings back?" Bob says.
"No one," Ron says.
"OK. I see, I see. He has them stolen from Him! By who? Carjackers?" Pete asks.
"No. Jesus is simply the backdrop of a present day mystery set in Europe," Ron says.
"People have heard of Jesus, so we get some great name recognition right there," says Bob. "But –and this is just talking you understand – couldn't we make sure we have a few explosions in there?"
"Maybe from carjackers," Pete adds.
"Perfect Pete," says Bob, "and since Jesus is from the Middle East, we should definitely put some terrorists in there!"
"But hot terrorists. I'm thinking Heath Ledger, with Ashton Kutcher as a wisecracking sidekick. And they are after Jesus' paintings because they heard he dissed them at a party."
"Yes! A party for 9/11 victims."
"What?" Ron says.
"Or maybe, since he is Jesus and all, an orphanage party, but we need something a little more hip than Leonardo Divinci. I am just thinking out loud here, but how about Kayne West?"
"Perfect, Bob!" says Pete. "Kayne West is an artist, say from Detroit, but instead of painting, he raps! Jesus hears that hot terrorist carjackers are going to shut down the 9/11 orphanage in Detroit, so he has a rap-off with Kayne West to keep the orphanage going and get his paintings back."
"What do you think, Ron?"
"You're both out of your minds. In the book, Jesus marries Mary Magdalene and they have a child whose offspring exists in France today."
Bob and Pete stare at Ron, then each other.
"Come on now, Ron. Let's not get crazy."

Just Like my Dreams..
The FA Cup Final 2006 - My heart was broken by Steven Gerrard in the last minute of normal time when he thumped in the equalising goal.
The strain my body goes through on these emotional and tense games is really unbelievable.
You have to experience it to believe the Passion that is flowing through your veins.
I suspect I have much more heartache to follow this June with the World Cup. Gerrard better perform like that for England. To make matters worse, his strike in the final seconds stopped me winning £100 from the bookies.

Come on you Irons
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.
They fly so high,
they reach the sky
and like my dreams,
they fade and die.
Fortunes always hiding,
I looked everywhere.
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.
C'MON YOU IRONS!!!!
West Ham United are in the FA Cup Final this Saturday.
I am sooooo excited. It's been 26 years since I last saw them in a major final.
There's been a lot happen in that time but my love for the Hammers will never die.

Like S**t off a Shovel
Revolutionary jet engine tested
A new jet engine designed to fly at seven times the speed of sound appears to have been successfully tested.
The scramjet engine, the Hyshot III, was launched at Woomera, 500km north of Adelaide in Australia, on the back of a two stage Terrier-Orion rocket.
Once 35km up, the Hyshot III fell back to Earth, reaching speeds analysts hope will have topped Mach 7.6 (9,000 km/h).
It is hoped the British designed Hyshot III will pave the way for ultra fast, intercontinental air travel.
An international team of researchers is presently analysing data from the experiment, to see if it was a full success.
The scientists had just six seconds to monitor its performance before the £1m engine crashed into the ground.
Rachel Owen, a researcher from UK defence firm QinetiQ, which designed the scramjet, said it looked like everything had gone according to plan.
Will there still be time to serve tea?

Celebration
A young man stumbles into a pub and tells the barman to line up seven shots of Jack Daniels.
He downs them all one after the other.
"Wow!" exclaims the barman, "What was that for?"
"I had my first blow-job" the young man replies.
"Well, in that case a bottle of champagne is on the house" the barman offers.
"That's Ok" says the customer, "If seven Jack Daniels doesn't get rid of the taste then nothing will."

Geek Sex
Scientists, no doubt who are single, have calculated a formula for your optimum sexual performance time.
AL / T + 10 x AG / SF x G = ST
AL = alchohol units per week
AG = Age
SF = Sexual frequency per week
G = Gender 1.5 female, 2.0 male
T = Sex time preference 1.5 morning, 2.0 evening
add or subtract ST to 6am for your horniest time.
It's 10.40am ..... how about it?

Better late than never
It sounds like somebody has got their fingers burnt.
President George W Bush has warned the US must break its "addiction" to oil, in his State of the Union address.
He said the US was too reliant on oil, often from "unstable" countries, and had to find alternatives.
It would also be better for this planets climate if you researched something alternative, George, not just because you realised you can't fight the 'unstable' world when things arent going your way.

Pah!
I'm going to see Rock gods, Bon Jovi for the umpteenth time this summer.
More exciting than seeing the boys is the thrill of seeing the first concert at the NEW Wembley stadium. I saw the last gig there, by Bon Jovi also, and when we booked up for the first one June 11th then I was so happy....
... then an email hits Big Dipper Central,
"be the first to witness history" it said,
"see Bon Jovi at the first ever Wembley gig".
That's me I thought
"New date added" it said
"Saturday 10th June"..
cough. Excuse me!!!
They have only gone and added a date before the one I paid £75 for.
What's worse is that leaving Wembley on a Sunday night will be so much hassle for the next day at work and school for the kids. Saturday would have been so much better.
The die-hard fans booked tickets straight away and are rewarded with the second(!) gig at the new Wembley...
On a brighter note, Bon Jovi survived a plane drama last week... at least there will be a gig to see, that's if the builders get the work done in time.

Whale meat again.
What a lot of fuss we had over here regarding the whale who swam up the Thames. She was obviously distressed and ill and didn't benefit from the 'help' that the rescuers gave her.
The reporters on Friday clambering around in boats and ,without any sense of irony at all, claiming the whale was 'distressed by the attention' did nothing to ease the poor things discomfort.
All in all, I think we made a 'pigs ear' of the whole episode.

If Music be the Food of Love....
Hello, bloggers.I'm back in England and back to work. I am refreshed from the Christmas break in Texas. There was great 70 to 80 degree weather when we left and cc-cold snowy weather when I got home.
Well done to Vince Young and the Longhorns in last nights Rose Bowl. He has awesome potential. Let's hope he ends up at the Cowboys.
