Brian Johnston's "Legover" commentary

Ah, it brings joy to my heart when England win a test match... I found this today - it's a little clip that has also brought joy to many people's hearts (even though it's about an English batsman getting out...). Yes, it's Brian Johnston's famous "leg over" clip.

Two and a half months since my last post... but I'm back. I've been very busy - have been to Paris, Taiwan, Woking and Oldham (clearly the last two were the highlights), moved house to Surbiton and had a birthday. The new place is quite nice! If you're interested in a virtual tour, you can watch a little one minute video I've taken of it. It's a big file though - 9.2MB so please right click here and "Save Target As..." (whatever you want).

If you managed to watch last night's "The West Wing" you might have heard Mr President Martin Sheen say that "behind Kashmir Taiwan is just about the most dangerous place on Earth." Well, that may be a slight exageration but being half Taiwanese I found a good quick timeline of US-China-Taiwan relations for those interested here.

Finding Nemo

Judging by the trailers it's seems safe to say that fans of Toy Story and Monster's Inc won't be disappointed by Pixar's latest film - Finding Nemo.

If any of you like me are suffering from end of football season blues, here are two good links I've come across - A virtual tour of the new Wembley Stadium (tickets on sale now...) and Shaolin Soccer. By all accounts it looks like a classic. One of my colleagues just got the dvd from CD-Wow and I'm dying to borrow it off him!

Climbing Everest

It's Bank Holiday Monday and while some people have just been chilling at home others have been climbing Everest! But why bother, when you can still enjoy a panoramic view of the summit here?

In 1935 Jesse Owens broke 4 world records in 45 minutes. But equally legendary are Downing College Volleyball Club who have come third in their division for the summer league! Nice one guys.
