“Create chances for Haaland and he’ll score – Maresca”

oals were no longer hard to attain in the late Friday match. Previously, many chances were created but not many goals scored.

Enzo now rides a wave of momentum.

The next match, a home match, should be easier. 3 wins in a row are a great way to start a season.

It’ll be 55 next year

reat musicians can be active for half a century. Composers and producers even longer, as they usually need not sing, dance etc. They just need their brain to work and creativity is not about memory, it’s about taste and experience.

Sister Sledge, as it turns out, is still sort of active (some members are broke) and its ‘brain’ Nile Rodgers is still alive with some involvement in Coldplay.

Given his age and physique, maybe he can be active for 70+ years.

Test two for Enzo

T 8PM tonight (BST) the match will kick off down south. I plan to watch that, it’s only 4 hours away; maybe I’ll keep an eye on the score instead, as it’s a late Friday match.

Today we took a look at a large construction project across the road from the stadium. 3 months ago that construction project was still in its diapers, as can be seen in this video of “Pep” inside the taxi (where he picks up the grown up “kid”).

That project replaces a truly awful and high-crime area that was an eyesore and a problem for the stadium’s image… and problem for the pub across the road (where we watched the England-Argentina semi-final), even the Tesco Express down the road. It’ll not look like this when done:

Pubs around that area are dying. They become relics. We run past them sometimes. That makes way for more “modern” things:

Hoping Enzo does “justice” to these investments.

He has not changed much, has he?

rowing up in the 1990s, I listened to a lot of music. Walkman was a thing back then, Discman came when I was in my early teens. My sister was collecting albums and I mostly “borrowed” (from her shelves) her music, which meant my taste in and exposure to music was heavily influenced by hers.

I am mostly grateful for it.

One thing that I can never forget is that she won many CDs by answering questions on the radio. Sometimes she phoned “too much” and won “two much”, so her little brother (me) phoned instead. I don’t know or cannot recall how many CDs I won this way, but I roughly remember which ones I won.

I listen to one of them right now (Warren G) and it always astounds me that something shipped to me 30 years ago still works impeccably. Stuff manufactured today is very unlikely to be usable or playable in 2056.

Why are taxpayers funding the oppressor’s voice?

oday the BBC writes about datacentres, and a sub-heading says “new industrial revolution”. Is that another term for pyramid scheme?

Many of these new datacentres are basically white elephants meant to harm everyone by increasing prices and facilitating tech-colonialism.

Media funded by the pyramid scheme will look down and talk down on people who dare ask questions about the pyramid scheme or oppose the expansion of this scheme.

Lots of rain heading our way

HE coming week will be rainy here. This is what we wanted and this is what we need.

The water level of some reservoirs across the country is low. If not enough rain falls (or fell), it would lead to all sorts of problems, not limited to “yellowing”; increases in food and water prices can follow (agriculture).

Rainy weather sucks, but water is life and we must get a lot of water.

This won’t be the last. The below is only the beginning.

HE words we heard are turning out to be true.

IBM is basically collapsing. Some broadcasters learn early about the impending mass layoffs.
