I know you don’t rely on me for your Brakes results, but while we were at the horses, they beat Studley in the FA Vase first qualifying round. Radcliffe Olympic, their opponents in the second qualifying round, have withdrawn from the competition, so first round proper on Oct 29th, here we come.
On our 2000 Route 66 trip, we enjoyed the last few episodes of the first series of the American Survivor, watching genuine characters plotting against each other on an island in Borneo.
When we learned that this “Fall”’s 11th series of Survivor would be contested among Mayan ruins in Northern Guatemala — where we went [...]

You know how I feel about the iPod — I use it every day, but wish they’d fix some of those niggling user interface issues.
The iPod Nano is a very small object of great desire though. Look how small it is! It [...]
I’m not sure about themed Singstars, however much I’d love to see indie Singstar, because part of the genius of Singstar was that each disk had something for everyone.
But Singstar 80s appears to have some crackers on it. “The final countdown”, “I want to know what love is”, “Poison”, “It’s Tricky”, “Rio”.
I wish I [...]
Today’s draw tells us that Leamington’s next FA Cup appearance will be at home, against Oadby or Oldbury, who drew 3-3 at the weekend, and replay tomorrow.
This will be the second qualifying round, for a prize of £3,750, and will be played on Sept 24th.
According to Braking News:
Leamington have already played both of these [...]
