Soccer for American friends; football to Europeans. The least important thing now is the name .....

If we hear a European say football, we know what they mean.  Well, most of us. 

Congratulations to Spain.  And to Germany also because while not as nice as winning, losing in the finals means the team did pretty well.  They have bragging rights to all but Spain. 

Good on you Master Gildor, I don't like them eigther. Too commercialised, both, soccer and football.
I rather sit down and relax to nice musik after my duties are done.

I also have to pass the following on to you because it definitely worked for me and we all could use more calm in our lives.
By following the simple advice I heard on a Medical TV show, I have finally found inner peace.
A Doctor proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started.
So I looked around my house to see things I'd started and hadn't finished and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of shhhardonay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of vocka, a pockage of Prunglies , tha mainder of bot Prozic and Valum scriptins, the res of the Chesescke an a box a chocolets.
Yu haf no idr who fkin gud I fel. Peas sen dis orn to dem yu fee ar in ned ov inr pece.

I can ensure you it works very well.. for a while...

As for me,  in a few days I'll be satisfied with a haggis, a pint of heavy and a wee dram .... so, Slainte mhath! ... or as some even say ... Slainte mhor a h-uile la a chi's nach fhaic (which is a Jacobite toast)

If you want to visit Rivendell you have to travel a bit further.
Thats a street name here in Australia!

American football?

What a bunch of big blokes in skin tight leotards and body armour standing around on a field waiting for someone to throw a ball?

Clearly you don't understand the game, so I'll let you off.

I read an interesting treatise once about American football and how it suits the uniquely American mentality.  It is fast and violent with periods of crushing dullness as well, as teams plan and counterplan offense vs. defense.

  The names of many clubs evoke our frontier, revolutionary, and industrial heritage;  Cowboys, Redskins, Patriots, Steelers, Oilers etc.   Even the structure of the game mirrors the westward expansion of society, measured off in ten-yard increments (9.14 meters) by officials carrying chains and sticks that are remarkably similar to antiquated surveying equipment.  The surveyor is the unsung hero of American history!

I used to support the Rams, but over the past few years have found myself gradually drifting into a habit of supporting Mrs B's favourites, the Pats. Could have something to do with how miserably the Rams have performed for the past couple of seasons!

On the subject of new Mithrils, meanwhile, does anyone want to take out any bets on the Dol Amroth guys sliding back to August before we finally see them? Any takers? And the big question then becomes 'How much longer will it take for the Easterlings to arrive?' (I think they must be walking rather than riding, and visiting every tavern on the way...)
