So, that's the BNL complete for anther season. Well done to the Blaze for their two chunks of shiny stuff and commiserations to Cardiff who never gave up the fight - hope Ivan's OK.

Got a cracking sequence of footy photos today:

Japanese toy maker launches Dog to English translation device to find out if little Bobby really is stuck down the well. Lassie outraged.
Takara Co. Ltd., a Tokyo-based toy manufacturer, recently announced the US release of their Dog to English translation device. Dubbed the Bowlingual (no, really), the device deciphers what your dog has really been trying to say to you all these years. Most likely, "no thank you, I'd rather have steak", or "fetch it yourself, you lazy...". [more...]

Went to London Knights last ever game at the Docklands Arena last night to witness a crushing defeat of the Bracknell Bees in a final ISL playoff game before their trip to Nottingham this coming weekend. I couldn't help thinking that with the wage cap of the Elite League, set to take over from the ISL as the UK's highest level of hockey, being so much lower, I am really going to miss that quality of play.

Photos should be up tonight.

Shots from Blaze vs Flames now live - I think its taken longer to FTP them to make the galleries!

Bit slow getting the latest photos done - hope to do at least those from MK Lightning vs Invicta tonight.

Just bought meself a Thompson DTI1000 digital TV set-top box. Appears to work fine - neat considering this area can't receive digital TV according to the postcode checker. I did invest in a stonkin great new aerial first, though - I doubt it would have worked with what I had before. Picture quality varies wildly - on some channels its superb (DVD-like) but others are marginal. I don't like the Teletext service.

Price was £99.50 from John Lewis (although you can't buy STBs on line!).

Currently watching Edward Scissorhands on Channel 4 in widescreen.
