Multi-sport Musings

It’s all been a bit mad on the Sporting front. The NFL Conference Play-offs happened and despite a brave (and injured - three key players injured and struggling) effort the Patriots beat the Chargers. All a bit depressing except for the way the Bolts have improved during the season and the competitive spirit [...]

BBC 4

How can a debate about the merits of the 1990’s music scene be entertaining when the music paper woman laughs about her declaration that ‘her article caused Cobain to kill himself’.
Make the claim, but don’t titter like an idiot. And don’t follow it up by declaring ‘La Vida Loca’ as ‘one of the greatest [...]

I’m sure things are normally better than the vehicle I saw on the M1 today but you never know …

Change causes confusion

Hot on the heels of the confusion caused by changes to baggage rules on airlines comes more claims of confusion because the parking regime is going to change.
It appears that the avoidance of ‘confusion’ in the population is something to be avoided - at least if you are in a lobbying group.

Spectator Fest

This weekend I managed to watch football (Derby) and rugby (Nottingham) ‘live’, in the flesh and then watched a few games (parts of all four) NFL play-off games.
The rugby was really fun, although I expect the openness at National Division 1 or whatever it is comes from teams not being quite as good as their [...]
