Fixed that for you as he now looks more like the opera singer Pavaroti than a Football Player.

Btw our San Diego dude isn't going to be too happy - Manchester United losing at Southend in the Carling Cup atm.

Hate this weather. It was hotter this morning than it is during the hottest days of August. One strange thing though. Its so hot that it seems to have drained peoples energy and its eerily quiet.

I asked because UKHS mentioned gthe difficulty for the road team supporters to make it home at a reasonable hour. Were there any other interesting results?

All four games are still in progress, although League One Chesterfield have led twice at home to Charlton, but on both occasions have been pegged back to equality (2-2 currently).

SDPM..did you watch Michael palins 'Himalayas' on UK TV? I saw the first two episodes last night and it was pretty cool. It was interesting to see how life was like in Pakistans northern 'Wild West'. Palin is a perfect host because he is so even-tempered and soft spoken.

Sadly, no, I didn't see it. I usually miss good stuff on the TV, because I just take enough notice of the listings.
But yes I do like Palin's adventures, right from watching "Around the World..." when I was just a little boy.

I think I read today that Australia is in the midst of their worst drought in 1,000 years. Does El Nino reach all the way down to Australia?

Yes it does. Both El Nino and La Nina have effects on much of the world.

So I'm expecting some ferocious rains this winter.

. I like an occasional rain. An oddity of the weather here is that we rarely get lightning.

You don't have a very high humidity in LA do you? I think the desert helps with that.
High humidity is a major reason why thunderstorms will develop.
