Summertime. And the living is queasy…*EDIT*
Not that I’m in any way queasy. Far from it.
It’s a beautiful summers day in Boro and I’m sat in the berr garden of a local pub, using the uni LRC’s wifi internet access. Sunshine, berr and the ability to smoke. There are worse ways to surf the net.
Plus, I’ve just found out that the supermarket round the corner from the house does crates of Tennants lager. Yay! (Now all I need is the cash to buy one.)
Still looking for captions for this pic:
And thanks for the ones I’ve already been given.
Also, do yourself a favour and click on the heroes banner at the bottom of this entry. Trust me, you’ll like it.
Anyhoo, have to go.

*ETA* They’re looking for someone 28-32 for the role of Scotty for the new Star Trek film. Must have a flawless Scottish accent. Just cast James McAvoy already damnit! He IS a Scot!

I’ve always thought Beckham was overhyped. I think he’s better than some of his critics give him credit for. Real’s resurgence came when Becks was back in the lineup. He works hard and is a good crosser of the ball (which will be limited because LA will play him at center mid). But I’ve always thought of him as a useful player with one great attribute, not a great player. You are spot on that

the English media made him into a deity and then when he was only good instead of amazing, just as quickly transformed him into a hate figure. But that’s what the English media do with everyone, as you point out. McLaren went from idiot to genius (when they beat I think Greece) just as quickly back to idiot. Sven could’ve replaced Tony Blair after beating Germany in Munich but after Brazil in ’02

less than a year later… English media and fans are under the perpetual delusion that if they just had the right manager or formation of just if they’re players performed a little better, they’d win the World Cup. The fact is that technically, top English players (save Rooney and Gerrard) just aren’t world class. That McLaren needed to bring back an aging Beckham illustrates this.

That pic defies captioning, if you ask me. So, like, don’t ask me. ‘:P
