A Tale of Two Frisbees
This weekend brought about the start of England's World Cup campaign and an early start. With the kick off at 6am PST we arrived at the Dover Arms Pub in downtown to find an already packed bar. We did manage to grab the last seats though and got to watch the match while we had a cooked breakfast... eventually.
The Dover Arms where we watched England v Paraguay. Even Gav showed up and as you can see was gripped by England's performance. When the final whistle went, I thought I even saw a little tear of happiness in his eye
We've also had a world cup sweepstakes with all the entrants taking four countries. Lets see how my teams are doing.
Team 1 - Costa Rica - Lost 4-2 to Germany. Never mind, not unexpected
Team 2 - Paraguay - Lost 1-0 to England. Glad they lost.
Team 3 - Sweden - Drew 0-0 with Trinidad and Tobago. God almighty.
Team 4 - Croatia - Play tomorrow. Maybe my luck will change. What's that, they're playing Brazil. Well, I can do it all again in 4 years time.
The following day Alan invited us all to a barbacue on the beach where we practiced our football and frisbee skills.
The frisbees in question. On the right you can see Ian's old, arthritic dinosaur of a frisbee. On the left you can see Gav's awesome, aerodynamic, supersonic, state of the art beast of a frisbee
The Jim Leighton art of dropping a frisbee
Alan starting the barbacue
Some people burying a dead body in the sand
At last, a picture with me. Megan, Gav and Liz in the background
The wasp on a scouting mission spots Keenie in the distance. Later on it thought I will strike him down. Bzzzzzzzzzzzz
Downtown and an empty bench
Alan and Megan leaving or perhaps recreating the Weakest Link walk of shame
Sunset
Everyone watching Ian. He finally managed to tie his shoelaces on his own
Gav and Liz try swinging
Invisible baseball, actually just as exciting as real baseball
From left to right, me, Ian's friend Scott, Keenie, Jade, Simon, Liz, Gav. It was just after this picture that Keenie got stung. Lets all go to a zoo. There must be lots of animals there that can wreak vengence on him

This is why I don't swim...
But just think of the trouble you could get in with jellyfish.
oh ho. croatia lost
My teams may have lost the battle in the first round of games but there is still a long way to go in this war.
I'll be laughing all the way to the bank when Paolo Wanchope sets a new goal scoring record and Costa Rica win the world cup.
I would like to inform viewers to Pauls blog that I was present at this gathering.
Mrs Banks may get worried
You were there?
I'll try and put my video of you attempting a cartwheel on the blog.
Paul, do you think the new Jack Black movie Nacho Libre, is jumping straight if the success bandwagon that is Strong Bad. He looks and talks like him.
Interesting
That's an interesting thought Andy and looking again at it I have to agree with you.
Although you can't really blame them for it. I think Strong Bad will go onto have great influences on all our lives.
We need to petition for a Strong Bad movie. It would have to feature Trog Dor as well.
It would be the greatest movie ever made.
Everyone would check out all it's majesty.
