It has come to my attention that the car I got a picture of two days ago, which was completely without a clue of identification, was a Daimler, which I think I may have mentioned yesterday.
All those classic car shows made it easy for me to pick out the car in today’s picture, a late 70s/early 80s MGB GT. It’s the second in three days, before that I think it was a picture of a DB9 several months back. It’s perhaps not quite old enough to be called a ‘classic’, but you don’t see many around, and (I think) it looks good – so here it is, the picture of the day.
In rugby, England lost to Wales, despite playing better than in their victorious encounter against Italy (maybe says a lot about Italy), and this final score rested at 23-15, England making something of a comeback in the middle of the game, but never quite outclassing a superior Welsh side. They went in underdogs, they came out as predicted.
I must say I was surprised at quite how many people had predicted an 8 point margin, nearly everyone on TV in fact, which is most unusual – I guess they know what they are talking about after all!
Proof that England weren’t disgraced is that Joe Worsley was made man of the match having put in a brilliant, tireless, performance amongst as well as many of his teammates.
It’s Valentine’s day today, so the smell of fake, imposed, commercial love was in the air. It hasn’t actually been St. Valentine’s day today since 1969 when the church replaced it with St. Cyril. Every year people say ‘ooh, I hate it, it’s so commercialised’, then every year thousands of people buy tons of schmaltzy hideous crap that no one wants.
Is the world really in such a state that we have to be told when to be romantic? I’d like to think not, but after today’s goings on I’m beginning to doubt myself…
