- You’ll never walk alone*
Alan Hansen, BBC Sport Online, Christmas Eve, 2005:
“Michael Owen makes his return to Liverpool with Newcastle on Boxing Day - and he will be guaranteed an unbelieveable reception from the Anfield crowd.
Owen was a great player for Liverpool, a man who single-handedly won the 2001 FA Cup Final against Arsenal with two late goals after [...]
- DNA-mutating nut fungus
I’m pleased to note my 2003 post on a nasty form of nut fungus is making its annual trip back up my “most read” stats.
That is all.
- My dotcom predictions for 2006
Developed in conjunction with Matt McAlister’s Dotcom prediction generator:
“Last year I made several predctions that now seem ridiculously pessimistic. But a few ideas were pretty close. I’ve got a feeling that 2006 will be a big year, and here are some of the reasons why:
– A Los Altos startup is going to open our [...]
- Big media, wikis, and lots of wikiwaffle
Steve Outing offers up a very insightful Stop the Presses column, presenting nine New Year’s resolutions for the newspaper industry. But he spoils it by urging us, at number 2, to "dare to wiki". No, no, no, dammit.
"2005 was the year of the wiki; by now, everyone is familiar with Wikipedia,
the open-source encyclopedia that anyone [...]
- A proud history, an uncertain future
Over the weekend I was writing a piece for The List, Scotland’s listings magazine, on what technology might do to the media and arts in 2006.
All good fun, except when discussing Scotland’s national press. It’s a nation that loves its newspapers, yet hardly has the press it deserves. Cutbacks and closures abound. Ownership has [...]
- A good vet in south London
Sometimes, a post isn’t really for visitors right now (sorry). It’s for the Google bots that pass by the parish from time to time. This is one of those posts.
So, simply, to praise our vets, who have offered superb care and help to us and our furry housemates over the last couple of years, and [...]
- Good and bad
Good thing: the term podcasting, coined by Ben Hammersley in the pages of Online only last year, is 2005 word of the year. He is, predictably and justifiably, jolly pleased.
Bad thing: microlunches, here at Les Blogs. Tasty, beautiful, but not very filling.
- Ricky’s top of the pods
Day one, and Ricky Gervais on Guardian Unlimited is iTunes Music Store’s top podcast, as this picture shows. Congratulations to everyone involved. Do make sure you’ve got yours.
- At Les Blogs
And posting here at the moment.
- On French football
Reflections on watching French football, in France
1/ It’s Lens vs St Etienne. I am, marginally, rooting for Lens, as they are wearing a strip that’s lot like Partick Thistle’s. I’m not a Thistle fan – few Glaswegians are – but it seems as rational
a reason to adopt a side as any. And certainly more rational [...]
