  1. So where's this happening then? Not sure if i can be there through the whole match but i'll try. Somewhere in the market? Ollie, you're an Ottawawanian, where's the best place to watch sports? The Heart & Crown's bigscreen is actually pretty crappy, Maclaren's is great (loads of bigscreen TVs, lots on tap) but i dunno if they're open at that time and don't know if they'd even show footy In the meantime: Quote Of The Day "They've been there, done it and won the World Cup. I've won the CIS Cup. I'm getting there" - Scotland's Kevin Brown looks forward to playing Italy. Runner-Up "Someone who has watched a lot of international football called me and said it was as good a display as they had seen over the entire weekend" - Steve McClown continues his descent into madness. Rumour Of The Day 'The Czech Football Association today fined the national team, which lost 1:2 to Germany in the Euro Cup qualifier on Saturday, one million crowns for the stormy celebrations of defender Tomas Ujfalusi's birthday after the match, team's spokesman Lukas Tucek told reporters today. The team's coach Karel Brueckner said he had been considering his resignation over the incident. He said that such serious violation of rules by players had never occurred in his career as coach. The footballers were punished on the basis of information for today's issue of the tabloid Sip. Sip reported that after the lost match with Germany the players were drinking in Prague's luxurious hotel Praha where they were accommodated and invited several prostitutes to their hotel room in early morning hours. The players admitted that they had not behaved properly for which they apologised. However, they denied having ordered some prostitutes' - The Prague Daily Monitor.

  9. HAMILTON, March 25 (Reuters) - A goal apiece from English Premier League players Tomasz Radzinski and Paul Stalteri and one from Atiba Hutchinson gave Canada a comfortable 3-0 win over Bermuda in a friendly international on Sunday. With Canada dominant, Hutchinson broke the deadlock in the 21st minute with a low drive after breaking in from the right. The home side nearly equalised seconds later when Ralph Bean poked the ball onto the post but otherwise it was one-way traffic with Radzinski chesting a long ball from Andrew Hainault past the keeper then firing home from an angle. Radzinski combined well with Stalteri on the right before the defender blasted home after bursting into the box two minutes before the break but Canada were unable to turn their second-half possession into more goals. "We should have scored a lot of goals but we kept the ball well and moved it around. The players had a bit of difficulty with the very hard pitch," Canada coach Stephen Hart said. The defeat was the first of the day for Bermuda whose cricketers later lost their World Cup match with Bangladesh by seven wickets.
  10. happy bday mattm, can't wait to meet you some day
  11. Rainn's career on fire; The Office star jumps to film in The Last Mimzy -------------------------------------------------- His work as a mortician's apprentice got him noticed. His turn as eccentric paper salesman Dwight Shrute made him famous. Now producers can't seem to get enough of actor Rainn Wilson. A star of NBC's Emmy-winning comedy The Office, and an alumnus of HBO's hit drama Six Feet Under, Wilson is being offered roles for the first time in his 14-year career. And whenever The Office goes on hiatus, he takes them. The latest such role is as a disarmingly normal science teacher in the family film The Last Mimzy, which opens today. He'll be back to weird in Bonzai Shadowhands, a movie he wrote. Several other films are in line behind that one. It's a dream life for the Seattle native, who used to do odd jobs to supplement his acting career. Wilson, 41, talked with The Associated Press about what's next. AP: How has The Office changed your life? Wilson: I get recognized a lot. When you're an actor on a TV show that people love, and you play kind of a goofball, they instantly think that they're your best friend. I'm there with my wife and kid and they're wanting to engage in having a buddy-buddy conversation. I try to be nice and grateful to my fans - my billions and billions of fans. But at the same time I like to keep my privacy going a little bit. AP: What is it about the show that has connected with so many people? Wilson: No matter how absurd the humour gets, it's believable and grounded and people identify with the characters. They've just kind of fallen in love with the world and the characters. Our show is really like appointment television. Of the 10 million people who watch our show, a very large percentage tune in every week and have to see every show to find out what's going to happen next. AP: Six Feet Under was like that, too. Wilson: I've been so lucky. There's been so much kind of dreck on television and I have been on two of the greatest shows. AP: How did you get involved with The Last Mimzy? Wilson: [Director] Bob Shaye sent me the script and offered me the role. For an actor who's been struggling for 13 or 14 years professionally to all of a sudden be getting scripts sent, it's insane. I read it and I was deeply and genuinely moved by it. AP: Plus you get a chance to play a normal, hippie teacher. Wilson: There's a brand of West Coast - and particularly the Pacific Northwest - of hippie type of character. I call them the healthy hippies. Hippies you always think of as kind of unwashed and really drugged out. But the healthy hippies, they go to the organic bakery in the morning and they have a latte and a bran muffin. Then they have their kayaking lesson and you know, their Birkenstocks, maybe an earring to be a little bit rebellious. And maybe they've got a band or they're going to Burning Man. And they have a day job that's pretty normal. But they're not hippies per se. They're just outdoorsy, alternative livers. That's what I tried to tap into. AP: You got all that background growing up? Wilson: My parents were hippies in Seattle. My name is Rainn. So it was all right there for me. AP: Are you still blogging as Dwight for The Office? Wilson: I am and I owe them a blog. Thanks for reminding me. AP: What other projects do you have in the works? Wilson: Kanan Rhodes ... is a really funny, kind of over-the-top comedy from Bob Odenkirk. It's like a surreal Ace Ventura. It's about a man who serves subpoenas and takes himself way too seriously. Bonzai Shadowhands I'm writing. It's about a down-and-out alcoholic ninja, a once-great ninja trying to put his life back together. I'm doing that with Jason Reitman who directed Thank You for Smoking. And I have a couple other projects I'm working on and things I'm developing. You strike when the iron's hot and I spent long years slogging by, doing New York theatre and spending months and months out of the year unemployed, doing odd jobs to get by. Now I'm going to just take a couple years and work hard and enjoy the fruits of my labour. AP: Did you always want to be an actor? Wilson: I don't really have an exciting story about that. I just always wanted to be an actor. I started doing plays in high school, kept at it in college and decided, if I'm really going to be an actor, I need to study it. So I went to the graduate acting program at New York University and did a three-year training program in acting over there. AP: How do you spend your free time? Wilson: I'll get some time off with my wife [author Holiday Reinhorn] and kid [Walter] and spend weekends with them. We bought a little cabin in Oregon, so we'll go up there when we get off weeks. It's all about my 211/42-year-old, pretty much, so free time is about taking him on a walk, taking him shopping. , taking him to the playground, play dates, stuff like that. What I do for myself is tennis. I try and get a couple of good tennis games in a week, which is really fun and relaxing for me. AP: Is there a dream role for you? What is the goal? Wilson: I'm really kind of living the goal right now. I'm pretty much living the life I really always wanted to have and that's a pretty extraordinary thing.
