Lakers' experience, crunch-time cool simply too much for Jazz - Frank Hughes - SI.com

The good news is that the Lakers swept the Jazz 4-0 and play Phoenix in the Nba West Final. The bad news is the next UK government will be an Axis of Weasels as the Liberals hook up with the Tories. The Labour Party lost over 90 seats and Plaid could not take Llanelli, Yns Mon, Aberconwy or Ceredigion. shame !!!! As for Sky News its starting to look like Fox both Kay Burley and Adam Boulton need to reconsider their careers.

So this time its looking at various books of note since the turn of the year.

I have recently completed Larsson's Millenium trilogy. These have all proved to be enjoyable reads. The tale of the second book is such that it will put "The Wiild Bunch" to shame and I await to see what Yellow Bird made of the second book when the film comes over to Britain in due course.

Currently I have gone back to "A team of Rivals " by Doris Kearns Goodwin. This is a detailed account of Lincoln's presidency and his initial election and how his rivals for the Republican Nomination came to form part of his cabinet. This goes beyond Obama rewarding Mrs Clinton but rewards for all the other candidates !!

We still have not been to the Cinema that many times but have instead re signed up to Lovefilm.com. This is one of several companies others such as Amazon, Play & Tesco's are available. You subscribe and they send you Dvd's through the post. So far we have seen Cinema first,

Avatar, Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, Terminator iv, Sweeney Todd, Letters from Iwo Jima, the Boat that Rocked and thanks to a free film from Sky Box Office Julia & Julie.

Next blog up is Politics see you then .

So today is the second of May 2010 and the Football season is nearly over. All Chelsea have to do is not fall over to reclaim the title which they last won 4 years ago and bring to an end Utd's run of 3 championships on the bounce which ties them with the great Herbert Chapman's Huddersfield and Aresnal team's of the 1920's and 1930's, the Liverpool teams of the 1980's and of course earlier Utd teams. This Utd team have not been good enough to consign those other teams to history and they have not recovered from the loss of Ronaldo and Tevez. Coming 2nd will serve only to galvanize them on. In Rugby France won the Grand Slam as has happened after Lions tours 1998,2002 okay in 2006 it was only a title but you see where this is heading. The European finals have been decided Stade Tououse vs Biarittz. I saw Stade at Stockport in January. The Amlin final will be between Toulon and Cardiff Blues. You will recall on January 1st they were lucky to get DDIM !! in a 26-0 beating from the Ospreys. So here are some pictures, now I have some catching up to do so tomorrow is tv & Movies and the Big Pol so keep in touch.
