Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Speak Truth to ESPN


As usual, this afternoon's cracking match was slightly marred by the pathetic commentary of the ESPN crew - the fake Scot Derek Rae, Tommy "Onion Bag" Smyth, 'Cello and some Polish bloke on the sideline. They've just announced their commentary teams for the World Cup with the likes of Eric Wynalda, Rob Stone, and Julie Foudy on board to bring cringe-making gringo comments all summer long.

Well, Nick and Steven over at World Soccer Daily are trying to do something about it. Sign up on their petition at the link below and rage against the machine.

Absolutely.

Where can you find the link to the full list I wonder?

This is a busted link. Too bad.


I don't have anything bad to say about Waldo as a commentator. He's got interesting observations and he's crabby about things he doesn't like.

But having Julie Foudy in there is just pandering. Sure she was a star for the Women's team, but I really wish she'd just knuckle down and get a job away from the camera. She's too self referential and that invites an unkind comparision between her experience as a female athlete and what top football players experience.

And Rob Stone is just an idiot. So's that Jack dude. Just the ones I know about are 7 stripes of shite.

time share resort


Hi matey and blog buddies, enjoyed the blog most interesting. Not sure how well you are doing in driving more traffic to your blog but If you are interested in promoting your site and getting more visitors (aren't we all??) I would definitely recommend the free Link Referral Program.

I have a website featuring time share resort amongst other stuff and after trying every seo software/program on the net I got tipped off by an IT techi mate that the Link Referral Program was the best - more importantly it's free!!

The signup process was quick and before long my hits increased dramatically. Consequently my affiliate sales commissions and business sales went through the roof PLUS my website increased in google ranking which was an added bonus!!

If you didn't need this advice then I am sorry but you did have anonymous posting enabled on your blog. If anyone else has any good ideas for driving more traffic to blogs/websites then please share with your online business blog buddies. Ta ;-)
