If cities were allowed to vote for their own patron saint, there is no doubt in my mind that Portsmouth would canonise Harry Redknapp, manager of Pompey football team. But twice has that saint fallen from grace - and bear in mind how strong this has to be to get through my sports filter.
The first time, he was recruited by arch-rival Southampton.
And now - he has been arrested in a fraud investigation. Lordy, Lordy.
Harry thinks that the police had to arrest him so they could question him.
Well here's the thing, the police could have invited you to come in and talk to them H.
London and Vancouver have in common upcoming Olympics. And London's logo has received almost universal condemnation. Vancouver's was moderately cool.
Now we have mascots. Everyone I have spoken to today who has seen them has been annoyed by them. There have been a number of comments about how Canada is more than just the First Nations and a similar number about how Pokemon-y the mascots are. Whatever the papers say, the grassroots Canadians don't seem so happy with them.
We are going to San Francisco for the weekend, Kevin leaves tomorrow evening, and I will join him after work on Friday.
I'm interested to see this city, and have been given a lot of suggestions about what to see, but a shame that the temperatures seem somewhat higher there, just as we are getting some good, decent cold weather here.
No matter, a legendary city is just that.

I, too, asked that same question of myself on the occasional morning while at Uni. :)
My neighbour's son's class was taken on a field trip to Surrey for the unveiling of the new mascots and was given a free book about them. I was pretty disgusted that he was taken out of school to be advertised at. He didn't seem to know they were selling stuffed animals of the mascots so either they were at least decent enough to stop their marketing pitch there or he just wasn't paying attention.
Good bloody grief.
Our mascot looks like Lisa Simpson giving a blow job!
Classy!
That's what we thought!
