It's now 2024 and I'll start my blog again.
Today is 17th March 2024 and today I got my first Swiss Army Knife, a Victorinox Huntsman from Amazon for £32.99. I've also ordered a Morris Garages Swiss Army Knife and torch set off Facebook for £23.

just had a look and I've had this blog for 5 years - not done much have I. Must admit I use Twitter alot because I find it easier to use one liners rather than having to put a paragraph together.
Just watching the 3rd Test, 4th day. Trading for the first 3 days has left me green with most of it on the draw so quite happy

June 2006
18th June
Just finished watching the Croatia v Japan match which both sides needed to win. It was a draw. I thought there would be at least a goal or two.
At least the match was on ITV so the commentary wasn't too bad although with the digital red button facility on BBC it's great to watch matches with radio 5 commentary so you don't have to listen to the pathetic John Motson and the boring Mark Lawrenson.
Later in the day Brazil v Australia produced a couple of goals with Australia going down 2-0. They were unable to reproduce a comeback like they did against Japan and now need to avoid defeat against Croatia (assuming Japan don't beat Brasil) to qualify for the next round. Again the game was on ITV so although the commentary wasn't the best (why do the commentators think the viewers know nothing) it was better than anything the BBC offer at the moment. Why they have to name who the players play for after each pass (Carlos of Real Madrid. Kewell of Liverpool etc.) is beyond me.
France manage to score a goal at last but can only draw with South Korea. The French seem to prove that many good players do not make a good team.
20th
Germany have just beaten Ecuador to win their group.
The second ODI is on between England and Sri Lanka and thankfully I've not heard David Lloyd today although I've only been flicking it on during the football.
Having said that England lost - again. I thought Jones was supposed to make some runs.
22nd
England win their group thanks to a 2-2 draw against Sweden, lucky they took Walcott in case a striker got injured.

Well Australia escaped defeat today in India because of rain. Hopefully India will get their victory in the next test.
