Damn Nucks

There was a hockey game yesterday, Canucks v Flames. I was busy doing work and napping in the afternoon (it was a long week, lay off) so went out of my way not to find out the scores when I logged in late afternoon.

Got to work, ignored all the hockey sites I normally visit and was just about to go to CKNW to listen to the archive of the game feeling good about not knowing who won when I glanced at my mail.

Last mail in, subject line : Canucks 2 Flames 2.

Yesterday the Canucks decided to start their post game review email service.

I Know An Alleged Murderer

Yep – the murder in Shepparton I mentioned the other day has been solved.

The In-Sanity Clause

Pet Shop Boys - Disco 3Damn, I was that close.

I stumbled across the news this morning that the Pet Shop Boys have released Disco 3.

Being a 21st century guy with musical taste firmly trapped in the ’80s I ran on down to the local Sanity and to my delight there was a copy in stock.

Well almost.

The cover was in stock.

No one seems to know where the CD went.

Sigh.

3-1

It’s not much but we’ll take it. A win over England in the first game we’ve played against them on their home soil. Sure, England paid us no respect by splitting their team in to A and B levels at half time, but we still outscored their A side 2-0.

The Socceroos have many years to go before they will be taken seriously but it feels good, even if no one here knows what the offside rule is.
