Where's the mud?

Here’s a quite interesting extract that got drove me up the wall this morning:

There is rivalry and then there are the teams that really don’t like each other. Lampard offers a diplomatic response, but a knowing smile.‘It is strong, I can’t deny that,’ he admits. ‘The players feel an extra edge. You’ll see it on Sunday. We’ve played them so many times in big games so lots of individual tensions build up. There is always something between me and Xabi Alonso, for instance.’

But you broke his leg. (after a tackle back in January 2005)

“Yes, I know, and it was a foul and I got booked, so I am not trying to plead innocence, but it was a tap, it wasn’t anything nasty; the sort of tackle that happens all the time, both ways. That night, when I heard how it had worked out, I felt very bad and phoned to apologise but he wouldn’t really have it and ever since he has that look in his eye when we meet, and there is always a bit of jostling and shoving."

‘There is respect between the teams, though. Steven Gerrard always says how hard it is to play against us at our place and it is the same up there. Just a sea of red shirts on the pitch at times because they work so hard and put you under so much pressure. They are a horrible lot like that, but Steve? What a fantastic player. I watched him against Everton the other week and it was a complete performance, he was the driving force.”

Some of you know i'm a huge fan of Lamps. For what...six years now. Yet i think that's very easy to blame Xabi for the look in his eyes and the feud after he didn't accept his apologies.

But at that game Lamps did what he always does when he's on the pitch: spending the entire game shouting abuses, insults and calling names every single of his opponents. Then he breaks his legs and finds strange Xabi had a hard time believing he was truly sorry.

When you know him like Steven Gerrard does it's okay but when you don't, it's not. There's quite a range between facing someone with competitiveness and insulting them constantly. Countless players complained about his rude and extremily insultive behaviour whereas i dare anyone to find me two people who complained about Xabi's.

Maybe if he started to show a little bit more of respect and stop acting like a yob on the pitch, people would have easier time believing the truthness of his apologies.

He's doing the same with Fabregas but Cesc never hesitated kicking his arse when he had an occasion...he had three actually.



I have to say, i can't wait for Xabi and Frank to fight on a very muddy pitch one day. It'll be worth all the best porn movies ^^

You utter clot!

I was watching QI and they talked about a place where you can go that is called "penisland".

The thing you should know about penisland is that it's actually smaller than it looks on the map ^^

I really don't know who's the utter imbecile who came up with that name but he sure did not give it a second thought...

I swear it's true, it exists! It's here http://www.penisland.net/

Here's a guy i like when he looks like what he is: a man. Not when one tries to make him look like a virgin, immature teenager.

So go on growing Zac, you're doing better and better ^^

Cross sections

Here’s a road cross section in Los Angeles.

Nothing special about that.
That’s exactly how we’ve always seen it and how we’ve always imagined those kind of things in the middle of american cities: dreadful and inhuman!


Here’s one of the busiest cross sections in France.

The "Roquencourt triangle" where the whole Western Paris suburb gather (coming South) every morning and evening to commute to and from Paris (going East) or Normandy (going West) for some nice times by the sea.
That remains inhuman when you’re stuck every day like an ant at the exit of the colony but it’s not as dreadful and in the middle of the city as it is over the Atlantic.


Well here’s a cross section in the city of Minden, Germany.

Yes! We have sometimes canals going over others through some water bridges but the Germans are probably the only one the world to have come up with canal cross sections where boats can go for canals to canals in one very place.

That's brillant. Just brillant! ^^

The Daily Mail

A few days ago, I went on the Daily Mail website to read the news.

I do that because I have to. It might sound strange because I can’t stand that paper but the problem is that you actually can’t do without it when you are into some famous people. All because the slandering, the scum, the scandals come from those kind of papers. True or false (mainly false!), you have to know them to be able to talk about it with the likes of you who just want to lick Frank Lampard from head to toe or plan on marrying Michael Owen in another life.

So I was reading that piece news-toilet-paper when I found an article dealing with the end of the day before news on BBC. A tradition at the BBC wants that the news is ending with a little bit of perky quite irrelevant news about animals. The article from the Daily Mail was to very furiously criticise the BBC professionalism by saying that kind of news is basically just shit and doesn’t belong on such a programme.

I really enjoy that article because the past few weeks the Daily Mail granted us with few very relevant, utterly interesting, very professional and serious piece of news such as:

-A full article based on the pictures of a robin that landed a cup with some robins as a pattern.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1104692/Birds-eye-brew-The-robin-pops-cuppa-old-chinas.html

-A samely long article about a rodent that fell in a river but used its tail to grab a branch and climbed back on the tree.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1113187/Pictured-The-field-mouse-saved-flooded-river-using-tail.html

-A bird that hasn’t flown south like all the others and stayed in England despite the freezing temperatures. And the Daily Mail were very proud to tell us again and again and again that they were the ones to come up with naming that bird Rambo.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1115442/Meet-Rambo--tough-little-swallow-forgot-fly-South-winter.html

-Another full article with pictures about a cat who used a temptation for dogs who will be given to the blind to test whether doggy is strong enough to resist catching kitty.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1112137/Cats-dogs-supposed-fight-like-8230-cats-dogs--So-makes-Leo-Yoko-different.html

-Or one about Puppy Chance and Kitty Louis being friend.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-513484/Love-blind-Alsatian-puppy-Chance-Louis-cat--sightless-new-best-friends.html

All those brilliant piece of news are of course in the middle of pictures and articles about Frank Lampard who came out of a restaurant with a sauce stain on his shirt, David Beckham who meets the niece of one those very vulgar and outrageously tacky Italian designer, Jade whatever-her bloddy-name-is who makes endless money on her private life after she put some much botox and collagen on her face that it actually ran to the brain and now she has cancer, Alex Curran who went out to put some petrol in her car before heading to the dry cleaner and went back home, Paris Hilton who bought a new dog, and endless pictures of the Cruises and the Beckhams who have been doing everything they can to show us their kids and how wonderful they are as a couple and family.

Let me remind you of Tom Cruise who said he was looking at all the pictures of her daughter “Hello, I’m Suri. – Don’t worry, it’s gonna be okay!” that were published in the papers. He also said he loved them all and thanked the paparazzi for taking such good pictures and being so nice with them. Oh dear! What a good father!

And let’s not forget the base of the Daily Mail: the almighty evil, greedy, money thirsty, scumbag-like people who are among us sucking on everything we own they can get their filthy suckers on too, poor us!, right after we were brought down to our knees by that horrendous government that is leading us all to eternal ruin.

Thank you Daily Mail for bring the right among of shit we all need everyday not to forget there’ll always be arses in the world!

Have a look, you’ll see I’m not making up anything.

Next time, I’ll deal with News of the World. Just an anecdote, if the take the first letters of News Of The World you end up with NOWT. Nowt means nothing, zero in England.

So British!

Here's the first thing you can read in you go in The Independant website.



For me, that's the very best of England: Reading the summary I really can't figure what this article is about!

I know that's politics but i don't feel the whole article is just a big medley attempting to synthesise a thousands of informations which all deny each other making a subject that could've been clear completely opaque.

I wanted to capture the entire page but there were some pictures of poor Palestinian children covered in blood with titles like Welcome to Hell: the unending misery of Gaza :-/

I really wonder how would Israel manage to go on making us believe they only are wishful thinking victims exercising their right to self-defense when they are falling on and slaughtering poor civilians? Honestly...

One thing's for sure, every people over there are victims of the Western countries being to coward to act upon the mess they created. It's easier to let both sides getting their hands covered in blood and coming all peace-wanting than actually doing something useful and taking strong impartial actions.

Seann William Scott

That guy is exactly like Andy Roddick.

There is something so hot, so sexy, so exciting that makes me wants to eat him like a bowl of raspberries with chantilly.

That something is flaws. He is not that kind of perfectly shaped and face build bloke who's never had to anyhting to look good. He's not that kind of guys who look perfect even when they are throwing up their guts after a night of excesses.

I just love eveything about him! ^^
