Been raining most of the day in North East Florida. Forecast to get cold over the next few days but then again cold is a relative term. Was moaning yesterday at having to wear sleeves whereupon Mrs Mays pointed out that in a few short weeks when it's in the 90s I would give my left nut for mid...
My 9 year old daughter's team had their first basketball win of the season on Friday night after 3 crushing defeats. Don't know if anyone has ever watched girls basketball at that age group? It's pretty funny and I take my hat off to the coaches who must be pulling their hair out just getting...
Israeli Prime Minister from the BBC website :
On Sunday Mr Olmert warned Israel would respond forcefully to renewed rocket fire.
"We've said that if there is rocket fire against the south of the country, there will be a disproportionate Israeli response to the fire on the citizens of Israel...
Comfortable win for the Steelers I reckon although part of me would like to see the underdogs pull it off. Don't reckon too many people would have tipped Arizona to make it back in September "before a ball was spiked" to create my own cliche.
Tonight we will mainly be eating wings / burgers /...
I think the gist of this is it's a put down to Palace's claims to be a Sarf London club with all the macho swaggering associated with that when truly their fan base comes from Epsom and other such Surrey commuter towns - i.e your name isn't something cool like Gaz , Wozza or Dazz but actually is...
Anyone with Sooner loyalties like to acknowledge the National Champions?
Sports Mania in Mandarin was doing a roaring trade in National Champion wear this morning. I understand there is a sports shop owner in Oklahoma with around 40 grand of worthless red t shirts on his hands.
"Our Victory...
The Florida Gators.
Please indulge an ex-pat for a moment here while I bask in the glory of a National Championship.
Florida 24 Oklahoma 14
I will accept grovelling apologies from those who tipped the Sooners provided it comes with an acknowledgment that Florida are the finest football team...
Don't any of you feel a little uneasy following "The Eagles"? Don't have anything against them personally and one of my colleagues is a fan and a first class chap to boot but somehow I couldn't do it. Just wouldn't feel right.
Will have to go for San Diego at the moment as there is no-one left...
St Augustine is well worth a day trip. If you're staying in Daytona it's less than an hour up I-95. Also as from Friday you will be able to stock up on Florida Gators National Champions wear after Thursday night's triumph over the Oklahoma Sooners who have been foolish enough to slag off...
Another depressing home defeat coming up on our inevitable way to a dates with the likes of Morecambe and the Daggers next season.
Bring on the abuse and accusations that I'm a bad fan etc!!
Face it mate. The Broncos are done. If they didn't play in the Mickey Mouse division they play in (basically the Chargers and the Dog and Duck x3) they would have been done weeks ago.
Merry Christmas from Fruit Cove!!
Well thanks for that glowing endorsement of the Jags chances tonight! Just leaving now. On the plus side it's currently 78F here just after 6 in the evening so at least I won't freeze while watching my team get their arses kicked!:bigwave:
Off to see the Jags vs Colts game tomorrow night. Not the AFC South title decider it was meant to be but it's always nice to go to a game and will be great to see the Colts. Naturally I'm hoping for an upset but that's probably a bit optimistic. Score predictions anyone? For the hell of it...
Just out of interest gentlemen what are the reasons for your respective NFL allegiances? Mine is simple enough. I'm a Jags fan because I live in Jacksonville (well technically just outside but the stadium is only about 20 miles from my house). Guessing Lyndhurst 14 is a Giants fan for similar...
Amongst all this play off talk can I just take a moment to say that after a miserable few weeks watching the Jags win this afternoon made me very happy. MJD is the best player in the league and you can call me Susan if it isn't so!
Sure something must already have been posted on this topic but couldn't immediately see it. Shocking. Hope the poor bloke makes a full recovery but wonder about the physcological effects. When I think about the thousands of times I travelled that route and got off a train at Durrington and...
