What a peculiar week.
My man Stuart Broad gets clobbered for six sixes in one over in the Twenty20 World Cup, England go out & Freddie is injured (again).
Then Arsenal crush Sevilla 3-0 with an outstanding display of Cruyff-esque attacking football (Thierry who?)
But to cap it all, The Special One only goes and resigns from Chelski and Spurs put SIX past a team who sound like a disease. Even Darren Bent managed to score; ergo, they must have been sh**.
You really couldn't make it up :)

A corker, you couldn't make it up.

Hey, Daring Fireball, that's my line...
Thank goodness Zeldman joined Facebook; gets me one step closer to my goal of being the last person on the web who has not.

Topical.
"I thought the banks crisis was really getting worse when I walked past Nationwide and saw a huge queue gathering outside. Then I realised that they weren't open yet.

Kick In The Spuds
I am flabbergasted. It would appear that tomorrow's North Laaahndan derby between the globally-admired demi-gods of free-flowing beautiful elegant creative one-touch football and Spurs is NOT ON THE TELLY!!!!
It's a travesty.
El Scousers wander down to the South Coast to hoof the pigskin around a corrugated iron shed in Portsmouth, and that's on.
Chelski One-Nil trek North to have their shins brutally examined by Blackeye Rovers, and that's on.
But where is our steeped-in-tradition local encounter at Three Point Lane? Nowhere, that's where. And they wonder why pubs arrange dodgy satellite feeds from Norway and savvy internet punters stream things from China. What is the point of have three lunchtime games (at 12.00, 12.45 and 1.30 respectively) if you are not going to show them? They may as well have been at 3.00 in the good old fashioned way.
Sky & Setanta - what a complete set of swag-bellied harpies.
Still, more listeners for Lofty on BBC Radio London I suppose...

"Yeah, the chips don't lie, they just make it worse"I know. Bizarre on so many levels.

Just become aware of this French website which offers free access to user-uploaded MP3s to listen to online.
"What the ... ?!" I hear you cry.
Apparently it has an agreement with SACEM (which as I understand it is the French version of the PRS/ASCAP) to pay it an agreed portion of its advertising revenue in publishing royalties.
Remains to be seen if the RIAA will flex its international muscles (like it did with the Russian site, AllOfMP3) and wade in with the helicopter gunships. Although Universal is said to be somewhat unhappy and might beat them to it (having just signed an exclusive agreement with a different French ISP, neuf.fr, with whom they share a parent company, Vivendi).
Worth a look, streams fine, not a bad selection. Is it the new Napster?
And obviously there's a Slashdot thread.
