The game looks gorgeous in HD.

Nice goal Stevie.

Weird. It switched over after about 15 minutes. Not sure how I was being a smart ass though. I implied that Spurs are already sunk.

Spurs had a shitty August last year. Next up is Everton which will be tough. Top 4 decided already? Championship league soccer is on now, Wolves vs. Watford, and not Villa/Pool. Woo hoo!

See what I mean?

Giddy up boys!!

I don't have a problem with the money going to booze. It's how a lot of them cope through the day. Expecting homeless people to quit cold turkey isn't very realistic. There was this homeless guy with a cat on Elgin a few years ago. Thinking I was all progressive, I bought some food for the cat and gave it to the dude. He thanked me and put it with the dozen other cans of cat food people had given him. I felt like shit.

Ha, I was just taking a shot at you because that info is already posted in this thread and it's so rare that I get the opportunity.

Who made what shit up?

Oh god, Setanta just won me over. Look what's on Monday. 2:30pm Live Carling Cup - Peterborough v Southampton Live action from the Carling Cup tie involving Peterborough United and Southampton at London Road Stadium. Find out if striker Danny Crow can fire the Posh to victory over the Saints in this one. K.O. 02:45pm ET.

Setanta has been pretty great so far. I hope this no commercials thing isn't an anomaly either. 5:00pm Best of EPL - Man City v Man Utd A look back at this tussle from 2002 between two of the Premier League's greatest rivals. 6:45pm Best of EPL - Liverpool v Arsenal A look back at this classic encounter in December 2001 between two top English teams, managed by two top French managers.

The only festival I was almost kicked out of!

Registered charities have a certain amount of accountability to the Canadian Revenue Agency (esp. with regard to what % of donated money actually gets used to help the problem, as opposed to administrative overhead). (I did some searching to find a list of each charity's %s, but couldn't find it.) That's good to know but my lack of faith doesn't stem from the legalities of charitable donations but the corrupt human factor. I'm cynical too.

I have doubts as to where it goes, or how effectively it's used, after that. Whatever. I'm paranoid.

Celtics ask Miller to come out of retirement It's not right that Reggie never got a ring. Don't know if he has anything left in the tank though.

I think this applies to both entities.

No they're not. But they are pursuing the same activity that seems to be the main stigma around the homeless in the downtown core. i.e. panhandling. Mr. Smartypants.

Do you have professional panhandlers in Toronto? Over the last year in Ottawa they've sprung up all over the downtown core, peddling donations for the likes of the Red Cross, Greenpeace and Amnesty International. To me they're just another stranger asking for money. That they are allowed to ply their trade this way while our mayor calls the homeless "pigeons" is the height of hypocrisy.

Marge is a force of nature! Cheers!

Setanta is now broadcasting on channel 429 on Rogers digital cable in Ottawa. Saturday's games: Sunderland vs. Spurs Bolton vs. Newcastle Aston Villa vs. Liverpool Giddy up!
