What a weird day today and leading into Friday...

I am rooting for the Brits in Parliament to frog walk a Yank CEO fired from Barclays.... (via CSPAN coverage..)
watching MP committee grillings is a new sport on this side of pond ...

phone hacking, LIBOR fraud, waiting for the October Olympics construction fraud hearings presumably ....

and ....wait for it....

I am rooting for a Scot to win on the grass ????

very odd. (grin)

We're still waiting for the Millenium Dome construction fraud to happen.

..Scot..

In England we support England until they drop out of tournaments, then we switch to other parts of the UK, but cover that fact up by calling them Brits instead.

so please refer to Murray as a Brit

really, I am rooting for him...Scot or Brit.
although the Federer / Dju match should be a smoker...


with regards to the Olympics, I presume Mick Jagger, Bryan Ferry, Elton John, Ray Davies,
David Bowie, Jimmy Page, Simon LeBon, and any number of Spice Girls are going to lead 5000 bag pipers so they can top the 2008 Chinese drum line. ???

on a serious note... I am particularly happy that the Beeb is not going to be blocking US internet traffic to get some of the more obscure sports TV feeds.

PS....Is there a UK demonstration sport ?... lawn bowling etc...?

Add in either Ringo or Paul and that would satisfy the Boomers in the U.S.
