Football 10/11: vs Valencia
I was convinced we were going to lose this game, so quite happy with the way things went. We really should have lost thanks to the sheer number of chances Valencia made but the Spanish leaders just couldn’t convert any … Continue reading

NFBs Decisive Battles Of The World: The Somme
I was tempted to simply cover that first awful day in July 1916 (which, on its own, is called the Battle of Albert after a nearby town) but that would be a disservice to the sheer magnitude of the five months of … Continue reading
Football 10/11: vs Bolton
Away form seems to be difficult to find and its all the more aggravating considering we had the opportunity to make up serious ground on Chelsea. As it is, its Man City’s weekend. Just a lot of players not doing … Continue reading

Polls Are…What Children?
Garbage. Pure utter garbage. Dangerous garbage but garbage nonetheless. What we have in the last few days, making all the political headlines, are two polls of such vastly different result that one (or more plausibly both) must be faulty and not … Continue reading

It Is Not War #6: Endor
(Sadly, the videos I used in this post have since been taken down due to copyright infringement. I guess you’ll just have to use your memories). With a few spectacular exceptions, tribal armies have never gotten on well against colonial … Continue reading

Afghan Elections and Giving People Democracy
It’s something that I fervently believe, and that this report backs up, that you cannot simply give a population democracy. You cannot send a military force into a dictatorship or other non-democratic state, neutralise its military, remove its leaders and tyrannical … Continue reading

RedvsBlue: Revelation
I’ve been a fairly big RvB fan for quite a while now, having watched it regularly since near the beginning of its run. Excellent premise, the forefront of the machinima movement. Rooster Teeth came up with something big and they haven’t looked back. The … Continue reading
