Davey Boy 2.0

call me crazy but the nights i make a tuna sandwich beforehand for late night consumption seem to lead to me feeling better the next day. essential oils, lots of nutrients, bread to soak up the boose, veggies added...

i was friends with this girl in college whose dad owned a couple of mcdonaldseses, we'd head back to her place and cook up burgers galore from her freezer, was heavenly if somewhat smokey

apparently newbold likes to eat salmon and subsequently dream about swimming upstream i'm starting to wonder if he's roomates with a shaman or something

at least this will give the fans a chance to meet steinbrenner in person in the parking lot....

we'd have to start an entire forum for mine, suffice it to say that even in my haziest states i now know enough to stay away from the oven. i do still make up sammiches (last w.e. it was grilled cheese and a croquette @ midnight) and stock the cupboard with salty snacks beforehand but then again i don't hit the boose like i used to either incidentally i found that mixed nuts are only good for a couple of handfuls no matter how hungered you feel

your dreams were your ticket out

did someone get into the absinthe again last night? hhmmm?

Happy cuntybollocking birthday guigsy!

am i the only one who thinks that the penlaties have been really arbitrary?!? you can get a hooking call just by lifting your stick off the ice (assuming some enterprising opposition player leans over, hooks your stick with his upper arm, looks for the ref then falls over, whether or not you're still holding the stick) but there can be an 8 man crosscheck induced pile-on in front of the net and all the refs are looking at is whether or not the puck's gone in anyway it's going to be a great series and i hope it goes to 7 games

if i stare at that picture long enough i can see a little head and an arm reaching out from the main cavity

mickey's Fire was indeed ugly and embarrassing. thank gawd he got it out of his system. I loved the Black Crowes that night though, I think it was my favourite time i've seen them play

Quotes of the season~ holy fook some of these are hilarious "If there was no good football or no bad football you'd have a Douglas and a Carsley in every team in the world." - Johnny Giles, in two minds about the quality of Ireland's engine room after the 1-0 win over Wales at Croke Park. "Now that Nos has switched to centre back he's got much less time on the ball, which is best for all concerned." - Roy Keane, somewhat relieved his former full back Nyron Nosworthy is spending less time in possession this weather. "I want our fans to be happy and for them to enjoy the experience of being at Old Trafford. I would appeal to them to just enjoy the performance we intend to put on for them." - Francesco Totti, just ahead of Roma's 7-1 setback at Old Trafford. "We have looked at his goals. They often come randomly. He has scored from some mistakes. He runs around a lot to try and get the ball, but he would probably not be in the Swedish squad." - Swedish goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson when asked about the danger posed by Northern Ireland's David Healy. Two goals later . . . Gabby Logan: " What about Manchester City? Would you be interested in becoming manager there?" Sven-Goran Eriksson: "Manchester City? No. I am interested to have a good football team next season." "I have accepted that the remainder of my career will be at smaller clubs. Aston Villa is perfect for me." - Martin Laursen endears himself to the Villa Park faithful. "Reports that I'd move to Tottenham are wide of the mark. If I had to leave Real, I'd choose to join another big club." - Real Madrid's Robinho deletes Spurs from his list of destinations. "When I left Fenerbahce, I would have liked to join a big club. That's not been possible." - Nicolas Anelka, agog at the prospect of joining Bolton Wanderers. "He crossed nine balls during the game, which was double anyone else." - Steve McClaren congratulates Stewart Downing on putting in four-and-a-half more crosses than anyone else. "The 2,000 away fans will be unhappy. In fact half of them have gone - there's only 500 left." - Chris Waddle, in desperate need of an abacus. "I know there will be a lot of fans who would love Neil Warnock as their club's next boss." - It could only be . . . Neil Warnock. "I'm aware that I'm on the wanted list at a number of big clubs, but specifically Chelsea, and I regard that as only natural." - Marcello Lippi, hiding nothing under his bushel. "If we don't change things right now and understand how crucial this moment is, we will waste another one or two months on two or three targets and we'll start having to sign third-choice players again." - Rafa Benitez gives a big thumbs to up his more recent purchases, Bellamy, Gonzalez, Pennant and Co. " We've not brought quality in . . . we can't gamble on players who have scored six goals in six games in the Pontin's League or in Belgium ." - Joey Barton, somewhat questioning the quality of Manchester City's transfer market dabbling. "San Marino are going to be a handful as the group goes on . . ." - Steve Staunton, after Ireland's 2-1 thrashing of the team that previously lost narrowly to Germany (13-0). "He can get young players who are upstarts, boisterous boys, and bring them under his wing and make good players out of them. Look at Wayne Rooney? If he had stayed in Liverpool he might be in jail by now." - Bruce Grobbelaar compliments Alex Ferguson, and in the process loses every friend he ever had on Merseyside. "He bears comparison with the incomparable George Best." - David Pleat on Cristiano Ronaldo. "Cristiano Ronaldo is a puffball who's never done it on the big occasion." - Alan Shearer. Na, Eamon Dunphy, need it be said? "Some of the managers I've dealt with have been pure class - David Jones at Cardiff, George Burley, Mick McCarthy." - Roy Keane. Seriously. " I always knew one day I would not be a champion." - Jose Mourinho. Honest. "I am not a cashpoint machine. Do you think you can stick a card in my mouth and cash will come pouring out of my a***?" - Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan responding less than positively to manager Peter Taylor's request for transfer loot. "In some respects I don't have any regrets. In other ways, I did blow £40 million, lost my wife, everything I had and was made to start from scratch." - Mark Goldberg reflecting fondly on his time as Crystal Palace owner. "Today will live with them for the rest of their lives. Well, at least through the summer." - Jamie Redknapp, almost forgetting footballers have short memories. "People forget he's only 20." - Ex-Fulham manager Chris Coleman, forgetting Liam Rosenior is 22. "We looked world beaters going forward - and panel-beaters when defending." - Paul Jewell, now ex-Wigan manager, swooning all over his back four. " I was in a barbers in Moss Side when my mobile phone rang. This voice said, 'This is Steve McClaren here,' so I just said, 'Yeah, whatever' and hung up." - Happily for Manchester City's Micah Richards McClaren rang again to tell him about his England call-up. A close shave, though. " Arsenal are like lounge lizards: plenty of movement but they don't score too often." - Bill O'Herlihy leaves Gilesie, Dunphy and Co speechless. ****************************** ******************* "Cilla wants her teeth back, Cilla wants her teeth back, La, la, la, La, la, la." - Liverpool fans welcome Ronaldinho to Anfield. "If you sit in row Z, and the ball hits your head, that's Zamora." - To the tune of That's Amore , Spurs fans say hi to their old boy, West Ham's Bobby Zamora. "Nothing is surprising with David Beckham. His career's been full of surprises. When I first heard about it I was really surprised." - Jamie Redknapp, unsurprisingly surprised by Beckham's LA Galaxy move. "Glen Johnson is an England international in the making. Although he has already played for England." - Tony Gale leaves his Sky Sports' team-mates befuddled. "Reading just had a great five-man move that involved everyone." - And Phil Thompson has the much same effect on his Sky pals. "There's only one person who knows how he missed that, and that's Wayne Rooney, and even he doesn't know." - Take a bow, George Graham. Richard Keyes : "Has Emile Heskey something to prove against his former club?" David Platt : "No, not at all, but he will want to show them they were wrong to sell him." "The weather over here is killing me. We'll get one day of sunshine for every 30 days of rain and it is driving me to despair. My girlfriend and my mother are frightened about not seeing the sun in England." - Julio Baptista, who lived under a dark cloud for the duration of his loan spell at Arsenal. "I went to Tesco on Sunday and it was crazy. You go to Tesco in Middlesbrough on a Sunday and you can hear the flies buzzing. It's nice to be in a big city again." - Fulham's Franck Queudrue, missing the late night shopping up north. "The food is catastrophic and it's always raining. It's difficult for my wife and son. When there's no training and no match we watch a DVD under a warm blanket." - Patrice Evra, wondering about the wisdom of moving from Monaco to Manchester. "It is obviously not our dream to have to go to Blackburn. It's hardly the most fantastic place touristically." - Arsene Wenger, tingling at the prospect of visiting Ewood Park. Footballers, eh? "I'm 28 now and they say you peak at 28 - so my best years are still ahead of me." - Newcastle's Kieron Dyer, not quite grasping the definition of "peak". "I am not sure exactly why the winter break started, but I'm sure it has something to do with the weather." - Owen Hargreaves, wearing a woolly hat, thermals and ice skates, wondering why the Bundesliga shut down for 40 days. "Well, I'm the Prince and I'm sort of slaying a dragon, which is something I've never done before. Obviously." - David Beckham telling us about his photo shoot for Disney, in which he made his dragon-slaying debut. Obviously. "I'm on the transfer list and I'm going to stay on there as long as I'm on it." - No flies on Burnley's Gifton Noel-Williams. "My dad had a massive influence on me, he gave birth to me." - Fulham's Liam Rosenior, who was too busy playing football in his youth to attend his biology classes. Reporter : "Do you see any of yourself in Gordon Strachan?" Alex Ferguson : "I don't think so. I hope not." Reporter: "Who would you prefer to be stuck with in a lift for two hours - Jose Mourinho or Alex Ferguson?" Arsene Wenger : "Is there a fire exit instead?" - Wenger spreads the love. "We're not as good as we think we are: we need to go out there and prove that." - And in fairness to Steve McClaren his England team did just that. "Fourth spot is what we are aiming for - we don't want to be second best." - Everton's Phil Neville. Even with our calculator we can't work this one out. "Andy Johnson has been playing up front on his own with James Beattie all season." - Alan Shearer on the impact James "Invisible Man" Beattie has made at Everton the past year. Eric Cantona - The Frenchman was asked to describe himself in five words. In four, he said: “Politician, woman, lobster, grass. That’s it! No, wait . . . the sex of a fish. The big sex of a sports fish . . . Or maybe the little sex of a small fish . . . a stickleback. You know what I’m saying, right?â€

from the Vancouver Province via the Ottawa Citizen: Stewart Copeland plays drums in the Police. His management handlers would prefer that our interview avoids talking about the reunited band's coming tour and stick to the drummer's "other work." What other work you say? When he answers the phone, his nose is hardly to the grindstone. "It's a champagne morning here in Southern California," says Copeland. "OK, it's a coffee morning, but the weather is just sparkling. "Does it remind me of the hills of Lebanon growing up? Yes, it does, with similar vegetation and climate." The son of a high-ranking CIA agent, Copeland was born July 16, 1952, in Alexandria, Egypt, and both he and brother Miles spent their formative years in the Middle East. After attending college in California, the jazz-schooled drummer headed off to London in 1975 where he took up the drum duties in prog rock act Curved Air. "I played in prog type groups like Curved Air because that was what was available at the time. It wasn't until punk and Sting and Andy came along that I could reinvent my instrument in a whole new way. Before that it was all pretty straight-ahead work." Curved Air quit blowing and he founded the Police with singer/bassist Sting and original guitarist Henry Padovani, who was quickly replaced by well-known prog scene fixture Andy Summers -- and the rest is rock history. The trio became the biggest band in the world for a while and Copeland was lauded as one of the great drummers of all time. "I had the band on paper; three-piece bass, guitar, drums. Either the guitarist or the bass player needs to be able to sing because I don't want a separate singer. The music will be in the flavour of the month in London at that time, which was punk. That was pretty much the brief, although there were probably a few more wrinkles." "It wasn't (until) joining up with Sting as a rhythm section that I really developed my own style. Here was a killer bassist who could sing a bit. And, I found out later, he could write really killer songs too!" Then one day in 1983, the trio called it quits. Sting went off to write killer songs for a solo career and Copeland, who had issued an acclaimed album under the alias Klark Kent titled Music Madness From the Kinetic Kid, went to work on another project, 1985's The Rhythmatist. Having already earned a Golden Globe nomination for his work on Francis Ford Coppola's film Rumble Fish, he continued film scoring too. Based on the information in his latest supplied biography, he's built-up an impressive resume as a soundtrack composer. His scores grace flicks from Oliver Stone (Wall Street, Talk Radio), Ken Loach (Riff-Raff, Hidden Agenda, Raining Stones) and, most recently Canuck director Arthur Hiller's Pucked. There is also considerable TV work, including Desperate Housewives and theatre and ballet commissions galore. "I like to feel that I'm in control of my destiny at all times, but film happened by accident. Unlike The Police, which was a plan right from the beginning and, I'm pretty sure, one of the most important things that ever happened to me." As time passed and he amassed a body of work, the drummer would periodically hook up with other musicians in projects. Typically, these would be one-offs such as the pop/jazz fusion unit Animal Logic and the ongoing jam band supergroup Oysterhead with Primus bassist Les Claypool and former Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio. "Animal Logic came out of meeting Stanley Clarke, really getting along, and going let's put together a band. Oysterhead came together the same way, but that band has much more of a future because it's interesting and a perfect antidote to the Police. Those three guys, bass player/singer and extremely exotic guitarist, have a music ethos that is a polar opposite from the Police's, which is all about the songs. "In Oysterhead, we have no songs. We laughingly refer to our so-called material but in any show, at least 80 per cent of the show is improvised and has never been written before. A large portion of what we do on stage is not good, we're floundering. For me, as a precision pop music player, I'm mortified and can't stand it." The love Oysterhead fans have for intense, free-flowing jam sessions is "another way to musical nirvana," Copeland says. "They want to know that nothing is pre-planned, that it never happened before so they are experiencing something unique. When Les comes in with a bassline that gets us back on the goodfoot and I can lock it in and we pick it up and surge forward, the quarry is spotted and the chase is on and it's thrilling. In a way, I keep thinking with Oysterhead, if only we had a killer song. Take the talent we have in this band and give them a killer song and oh, it would be grand." He does, however, always have a fallback with Sting and Summers; one that he's excited to be taking out on the road. "With the Police, our MO, our means of conquest, is always the song and we've got these songs that are such a perfect vehicle for our playing. It's going to be an incredible tour because, as players, I think those guys have been practising and playing a lot in the last 20 years. We're slaying ourselves at the start of it all."

this seems like a decent resource

Japanese beer for children - Kodomo no nomimono Can you imagine these products being marketed overseas? With so much concern about “the children†these days we doubt that fake beer for kids would make it past the pitch stage at any beverage company. Well, almost any company. Sure, there’s the sparkling grape juice that kids sometimes get on New Years Eve in lieu of champagne, but to have it specifically marketed to kids is a different matter. While Americans would likely overreact and freak out, we haven’t seen any such reaction here in Japan and these drinks have been out for a couple of years now. Sangaria started their line of fake alcoholic drinks for kids with Kodomo no nomimono (Children’s drink), and has been successful enough to offer it in bottles, cans, and even six-packs. They also expanded the product line to include children’s versions of wine, champagne, and cocktails. The beer, flavored like apple juice, even foams at the top when poured into a glass! Doesn’t the kid with the onigiri look alot surlier with a beer in front of him? The differences between the West and Japan are often highlighted the most in the little things in life, and this is definitely one of them. Japan is well known for its group drinking culture, and this is actually a great way to include the kids during family celebrations. These are even sold at restaurants, which is ideal since most parties in Japan are done outside of the home. Of course, if find your four-year-old passed out in front of the TV with a pile of empty fake beer cans around him, it might be time for a kodomo no intervention. Posted by Michael Keferl
