It’s been my last full day Stateside for a good long while and I made the most of it by shopping, I managed to get a new funky iPod touch for around £50 cheaper than UK prices, so I’m a happy bunny – as you can see it don’t take much. Matt’s also a happy bunny, [...] -

It’s 4th July, so happy Independence day everyone, well everyone of my American readers anyway. I’m not sure if I’m the only one that feels this, but it’s a little odd being a Brit in America on Independence Day, after all it was this day back in 1776 when they fully declared their Independence from Great [...] -

No doubt that’s what the Angels and a majority of sports writers and commentators were asking about the Rangers after their June swoon. I’m not just a Rangers fan cause I live in the metroplex or that I have 3 Rangers on my 5th place fantasy team, but because they have to be the hottest [...]

The other day on our way to Vienna to see Matt’s folks we passed this slightly modified truck 4 x 4, it looked a little higher than normal from a distance, but up close it was massivly high, so I took this snap. The wheel arch is actually higher than the roof of Matt’s car and [...] -

Yesterday Matt suggested a trip to O’Fallon Mall, with dollar signs in my eyes, I agreed in a nano second, well come on, a self confessed shopaholic like myself, would kill a granny with our bare hands just to get a chance to shop at the mall or plenty. I know it’s a fair old distance, [...] -

Matt and I are off to PrideFest in St Louis, the biggest one in the Midwest, according the their website the PrideFest weekend attracts some 80,000 people, although last year when I was there on the Saturday, I’d have been hard pushed to count 5000! Still it was a good day, much like the Pride festivals [...] -

The death of Michael Jackson has been played out on every single news channel over this side of the Atlantic, I was flipping the channels last night and was hard pressed to find one that didn’t have a Michael Jackson special on it, filling up it’s airtime, there were reviews of his life, of his music, [...]

So far in the wilderness that is Southern Illinois, we’ve had eight consecutive days with temperatures in the mid 90′s and high humidity factors making it feel close on or just above 100f Which, no matter where you’re from is a tad on the warm side of things. It’s also taught me a lot, one I [...] -

What a weird draft this year. It’s certainly not loaded with can’t miss players but rather looks like a draft full of complementary players. No debating between the likes of LeBron, Dwayne Wade or Carmelo. No, the only intrigue in this draft is whether the Grizzlies will draft a guy who has said he doesn’t want [...]

Matt’s parents came round at lunch time the other day, I was sitting on the balcony, so at first I didn’t hear them banging on the door. I think they probably think I’m a little bit on the mad side, sitting on the balcony in 90+ degree heat, but there we go, I’m trying to make [...] -

Yesterday it was as they say, a warm one, I think the highest the mercury got was 96f, with a heat index temp of 104f, which, for a little Brit blokey like me, is darn hot! In Brighton usually it cools off in the afternoon, over here it seems to get hotter in the afternoon, indeed [...] -

It’s just gone 8 in the morning and the temperature outside has hit 80f and is rising fast, by 2pm it’s set to be 97f, with 78% humidity factor and the heat index (that’s supposed to be the way it’s supposed to feel) at 107F Now, that is pretty darn warm if you ask me, I [...] -

Flippin’ back and forth between the College World Series (CWS), Rangers vs. Astros and the MLB Network tonight. Hello, is this what heaven’s like? At this time of year I’m sure Eric, my bf, is getting beat down by the constant influx of baseball. I could literally leave MLB Network on 24 hours a day [...]

OK, Monday was a really slow sports day with the NBA and NHL playoffs over and only two baseball games last night. As I was making breakfast, I thought to myself, not to much to write about this morning when one of my worst fears came to life. A little background is needed so you [...]

Democracy or hypocrisy? That’s the question on the lips of many regarding the recent elections in Iran? It’s a difficult situation, the election choice was basically between the openly anti-Western Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Mir-Hossein Mousavi, who made it clear he wanted to end Iran’s isolation and talk to the Americans. An easy choice if you ask [...] -

6th June 2009, 65 years on from a day the world will not and should not forget, D-Day. The beaches of Northern France saw such death and destruction on such a massive scale that even today it’s hard to comprehend. It was the turning point of the war in Europe, for had it not been successful, [...]
