Meal time entertainment
I’ve posted before how reading the newspapers is one of my meal-time entertainment. However, reading the papers (and news) this morning almost made me lose my appetite!
This can’t be right!!!!
I read with interest last nite online about the British High Commissioner and a couple of other European Delegates staging a walk-out in protest over our former-can’t-keep-his-mouth-shut Prime Minister.
Imagine my shock when I read the local new this morning that the said former PM was speaking as one of the speakers at a conference on human rights organised by the Humans Rights Commission of Malaysia!!!!!! (See here)
What the…???
Mahathir speaking at a Human Rights conference?????
What next? Ask the Gloved One to speak at a conference to protect children from being sexually abused??? Or Charlotte Church to speak at a Alchoholic Annonymous Conference?
Swede and sour!
Yeah, more about the embarrassment suffered by the English football team lately.
The frustration by the English fans is understandable. There is no doubt that the England team consists of very talented players! But yet, they play so badly.
What I can’t fathom is that why can football pundits, former England greats and even normal everyday footie fans (like yours truly) see the problem as so crystal clear but yet a man who is paid millions of pounds just can’t?
So simple. The coach is playing these talented players out of their normal position!!!! Rooney who plays wonderfully for Man Utd week-in and out in his position just behind the lone striker was forced by the Swede to play in the left wing role! No wonder he was frustrated.
And midfield maestros like Gerrard and Lampard who basically hold their club team together were forced to play wide midfield positions!!!!! The only reason that one can think of is that the Swede just wants Beckham to play in Beckham’s favourite role – the central midfield.
It is no surprise then that only Beckham and Owen (who gets to play for England no matter wat shitty form he is in) is in support of the Swede!
The fall of the Russian Empire!!!!
Well, there will be no Russians in the US Open tennis Women’s finals this year (unlike last year where it was an all Russian final!). 2 of me fav players were knocked out of the semis.
The only consolation is that Kim Clisjters is in! Go Kim, go Kim!!!!
