When it comes to football, I can take it or leave it but I suspect the
same cannot be said for the occupants of the cars that I predict will
create a whopping jam this evening.

Yep - due to a flight cancellation messing up my return to the UK yesterday,
I'll probably end up stuck in the jams :(

(and I was planning a long ride today, too)

Surely a (checks) 5PM kickoff will mean that travelling between 5:15
and 7:00 wil be the best thing

Miserable bggrs :) I've ramped up my cycling in order to burn off the
extra BEER that I'll consume over the course of the tournament. More beer,
and more cycling - what could be better?

More football, more beer, more cycling... excellent!

Except I had to drive in to work today to enable me to get home for the 17:00 kick-off
so it's working against me.

I intend to leave the Nut Mines at 5 on the dot, go home, have a BEER,
go to Sainsbury's (possibly wearing earplugs), go back home again and
THEN watch the foopball.

Best of all possible worlds, unless the neighbourhood chavs take to the
streets chanting the result...

Carlsberg - 'official beer of England'.

What's all that about then?

Even worse is the fact that he official beer of the world cup is
****^H^H^H^HBudweiser. One of the stadiums in Gelsenkirchen has been
renamed back to something like it's old name AufSchalke Arena. It has
recently been called the Veltins Arena and Bud didn't want "their"
competition publicisng a decent pilsener beer.

I'm going to walk into town to try and drink as little as possible at
a pub before going to choir practice. I would ride but tring to stash
the folder in the pub whilst I watch is going to be next to impossible
and I don't fancy locking it up anywhere :-(

If Rooney scores and then gets injured again, will it be too late to
suggest it should have been Hop Back Summer Lightning?

No, none of these! It should be Three B's Tacklers Tipple!

I had a nice pint of Adnams' Reggatta in s quiet pub after a relatively
traffic free 25km loop between 5:30 and 6:30. Left the pub as the Morris
Men started to arrive. I don't object to watching them, but they act
like a Navy press-gang trying to recruit new dancers.....

One came by bike tho' and I know another of them (Devil's Ditch
Morris) sometimes arrives on a Velocette single.

Ah, yes, that would do it. One of my most memorable single pints was a
pint of Broadside outside the pub next to the Adnams brewery.

The perks can sound persuasive, though. They drink like they're going to
get press ganged themselves. I had a morris dancer as a lodger a several
of years ago. He took it up after giving up designing abattoirs...

That had better be the name of a group, not an individual.

Ahh yes, but the Mild there is the best!

Yup. This particular Devil's Ditch is a 7 mile long post-Roman
earthwork, in East Cambridgeshire. There's only one pub actualy on its
line, which is confusingly called the "Dyke's End" (and where I had my
pint this evening), but the Morris happily go to any (every?) CAMRA-listed
pub within dancing distance of the Ditch.


Nature Note: saw a Marsh Harrier on the way round too.

D'oh! Now I'm going to have to go back there, and I've just moved back

It's Hen Harriers around here, along with the obligatory buzzards and
kestrels...

Less confusing if you know the Ditch as the Dyke, though both names are used:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil's_Dyke,_Cambridgeshire
http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/environment/countryside/biodiversity/projects/devils_dyke/
And indeed http://www.devilsdykemm.org.uk, The Devil's Dyke Morris Men
(Or is there really a Ditch team too? That really would be confusing.)

(Not that that necessarily removes all possible confusion caused by
the pub name, but let's stick with the earthworks.)

I feel the urge for a family cycle to Reach sometime soon coming on.
This time I'll remember spare tubes, or at least patches and pump -
failing to do so rather spoilt the previous visit to their mini-festival.
