Sporting Banter: February 2008
http://sporthour.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Sports Banter - Rugby - Football - Tennis - Golf - Cricket. Sunday, 24 February 2008. England win in Paris. England produced 80 minutes of quality rugby in Paris yesterday to see off a youthful French team by 11 points. And today's comments by Marc Lievremont, that Mark Regan is a 'grotesque clown', simply highlighted the English success in getting under the skin of the home side. The one thing that was apparent from the day's rugby was how on earth has Ian Balshaw made it into the England team? Even Cip...

Sporting Banter: September 2008
http://sporthour.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Sports Banter - Rugby - Football - Tennis - Golf - Cricket. Monday, 29 September 2008. This is the first Guinness Premiership Rugby round-up which I will now do every Monday, so look out for them, it saves watching Craig Doyle on ITV4. There were three Friday night games this week, which may have caught some fans out, but if it did then they didn't miss much. Wilkinson has a 100% kicking record so far this season and his two conversions and penalty took him back ahead of Andy Goode as the all time leadin...

Sporting Banter: June 2008
http://sporthour.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Sports Banter - Rugby - Football - Tennis - Golf - Cricket. Monday, 30 June 2008. Spanish magic ends title drought. Last night Spain became European champions with a display of football that will go down in history. Sadly they could only score one goal, through Fernando Torres, but if they had won 4-0 it would not have been an unfair reflection of the game. Sergio Ramos, a class player, had probably the best chance to put the game beyond Joachim Low's side, with a free header at the back post. There is n...

Sporting Banter: Battle of the codes
http://sporthour.blogspot.com/2008/11/battle-of-codes.html
Sports Banter - Rugby - Football - Tennis - Golf - Cricket. Thursday, 13 November 2008. Battle of the codes. This weekend sees the northern hemisphere take on the south in both codes of rugby. In the Rugby World Cup down in Australia, England are looking to avenge last week's defeat to New Zealand. While back in Blighty the Union boys are taking on Australia at Twickenham in what is Martin Johnson's first big test as head coach. Last week the Wallabies could only sneak past Italy thanks to a late try fro...

Sporting Banter: May 2008
http://sporthour.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Sports Banter - Rugby - Football - Tennis - Golf - Cricket. Tuesday, 6 May 2008. Last orders for Guinness. This season's Guinness Premiership has been by far the most closely contested since the inception of the play-off debacle in 2003. Sale are the only team to have topped the league at the end of the regular season and gone on to win the play-offs, that was in 2006. Before that Wasps won three back-to-back titles having failed to prove themselves as the best side after 22 league games. Sale and Harleq...

Gun toting pacifist: Bianca Bohl, Cobden Club, Monday February 25
http://jamesfordham.blogspot.com/2008/02/bianca-bohl-cobden-club-monday-february.html
Thursday, 28 February 2008. Bianca Bohl, Cobden Club, Monday February 25. The Grand Hall of the Cobden Club in Ladbroke Grove. Looks more like a film location than the usual sticky-floored dive that most gig-goers are used to. This is probably appropriate for Westminster student, Bianca Bohl. And her 6-piece band. Bohl's ensemble fill the high ceilinged hall of this private members club with sumptuous music fit for the cinema. This creates an awkward gap between the crowd and the band. Parts of the gig a...

Gun toting pacifist: Foundphotos
http://jamesfordham.blogspot.com/2008/01/foundphotos.html
Wednesday, 30 January 2008. Everybody gather round and share in the delights of Foundphotos. A collection of accidentally brilliant images. The photos are collected (or stolen as far as I can make out) from all over the world. Users of file sharing. Websites for downloading music, often make their photo albums publicly available, along with their collection of rare Britney b-sides. All for a good cause though as the results are hypnotisingly good. Not like your family. I *love* that wedding photo :-).

Gun toting pacifist: October 2007
http://jamesfordham.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 25 October 2007. Michael Jackson: What really happened. This was the title of a documentary screened on Channel 4. In the UK last night. Yes, apparently this is Jacko). After reading a piece in the Guardian Guide. On Saturday, which was written by the programme maker. I was genuinely looking forward to watching it. Although the article was fairly open ended and didn't really tell me much, I guessed that this was because he wanted readers to watch the programme. Peretti came up with the idea tha...

Gun toting pacifist: I love Valentine's day... honest!
http://jamesfordham.blogspot.com/2008/02/i-love-valentines-day-honest.html
Friday, 15 February 2008. I love Valentine's day. honest! Valentine’s Day makes me sick, I just wish I’d kept that to myself and not told the girlfriend. If you were out on Thursday night, I’m sure you all saw it – supposedly lovesick couples, fawning over each other everywhere you turned. Please don’t get me wrong, I am not averse to public displays of affection and have been prone to wretch-inducing behaviour myself. Suddenly everyone is gazing into each other’s eyes like opticians on ecstasy. Apparent...
