Popped up to Shanghai last week. Quite liked it. Glad, as I will be up there a lot more most likely. So, here are a few pics.

New and old?

Ridiculous.
That’s the one-word message I sent to a rugby-loving mate on Sunday morning. After England beat France in the RWC semi-final.
Eddie Butler in The Observer agrees:
In all the stories of comebacks in sport, few have restarted from such a low point as England. It is hard to describe how ineffably dreadful they were at the start of this World Cup. How they only got worse against the United States. How they fell so hard against the bottom of a deep, deep pit against South Africa.
It is absolutely impossible to state how slim their chance were of defending their title. They were shite.
Now they are in the final of the World Cup. Rub your eyes again, slap yourself across the cheek and pour a bucket of cold water over your head. England are going to the final. If they had to bear some terrible stick for all the stumbles, all the headlong plunges they took into near-oblivion between World Cups, now they deserve all the credit going.
God, they are an ugly, beautiful side.
Ugly, sure, but it’s not ice-skating.
Only problem is, pretty much all of my mates didn’t think England would make the final, and so are away next weekend!
Hope you all saw this - a message from Kenny Rogers to the England team. More info here.
Or so it would seem outside, where they have started putting up the decorations:
Fine with me. I love Christmas. It’s a Wonderful Life, mulled wine, Pret Christmas Lunch sarnies, and of course Last Christmas. Check out Ridgeley’s face, and finger. Comedy Gold.
I have about 22 versions.
I’m supposed to be working on a kick-ass recruitment presentation. Why work for me sort of thing. Can’t be arsed. So.
Ever wondered what those ladies who sit under the underpasses in CWB and the Wan Chai are doing? I have, and now I’ve found out - Villain hitting [via]
I didn’t know Alan Turing committed suicide, after being chemically castrated! From the Top 10 Scientists who Committed Suicide.
I like this part:
It has been claimed that the Apple Computer logo (an apple with a bite taken out) may be a coded tribute to Alan Turing.
Ah, booo:
Turing’s biographer, Andrew Hodges, has asserted that this is false.
Licence to Kim Jong Il is “an internet expert too”.
HBO cocksuckers! No Deadwood movies.
Sony BMG’s chief anti-piracy lawyer: “Copying” music you own is “stealing”.
New Chris Cornell CD has him covering Billie Jean. Average reviews though.
I was in a bar in Macau the other night with Private Dancer Doris, and some sort of country version of Staying Alive came on. I think it was these guys.
Balwdin Street, Dunedin, NZ. Talking of NZ, I sent my Kiwi mate a msg last night, when Fiji were 20-20 with SA in the third quarter final:
Seen the Fiji v SA game!?!!
His reply:
What sport?
Yeah, got ya mate. Sorry.
Halo 3. I can only find it with a Mandarin soundtrack. Handy.
The evolution of “Don’t tase’ me bro’”.
Booo, in the first RIAA vs file-sharer case to go to court - the jury found in favour of the RIAA motherfuckers. (motherfuckers? c.f. Snipes)
Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill.
Did I mention George R. R. Martin books? Awesome.
Did I mention the Friday Night Lights TV show? Awesome. Series two starts tonight.
I ain’t saying you’re a golddigger - quality reply.
Always check out deputy-dog.
The dudes at the shop managed to get it to boot, and it was unlocked! I did not fail! However, I’d already bought another, so I still lost $2k after selling this one.
So, this is what my desk looked like:
That’s a 2nd gen nano, a 160GB Classic, a 16GB Touch and two iPhones. More money than sense apparently. However:
BTW: predictive text on the iPhone knows sahib, fucking and fuckup.
