I know there were a lot of Swedes there. Just a funny anecdote, seeing a crowd in Kiev cheering for the blue-and-gold and imagining that they mistook the Swedish side for the Ukie side. Didn't see the end of the match, though - did it end with a knighthood for Walcott?

Sleeping in is an under-appreciated activity, methinks.

Just read me some Asimov. Nice read. Wish a real movie could be made of his stuff.

What exactly is this "Sleeping" you refer to? Sounds like something I should try one day.
Per aspera ad astra.
If you love, love without reservation.
If you fight, fight without fear.
Never start a fight, but always finish it.
La verità parla da sé.

Heartily seconded.
There is only one way of avoiding the war – that is the overthrow of this society. However, as we are too weak for this task, the war is inevitable. -L. Trotsky, 1939

Watching the 1972 Duran vs. Buchanan fight. Holy hopping snot, I had forgotten how fast and vicious Roberto Duran was, or how heavy his right was.

Its even better at 2:30. Driving back from the cinema yesterday, nice empty stretch of motorway with no lighting. Was like a racing game on an old Playstation where the view didstance was about 10 metres

I'd agree with that, I had a similar feeling walking home at around 2:30 this morning.

Yeah, that'd be spooky, methinks. At least I have a car.
