Isn't it an Italian drama though?
Madame Zidane wants Materazzi's balls on a platter (literally)
FIFA's gonna investigate Double M's behaviour who in the past collected headbutts from Shevshenko for the same reason....
A French lawyer wants to sue FIFA and have the final being replayed because of the illegal way the fourth ref decided that Zidane had to be recarded (i.e., he didn't notice until he saw the replay on the big screen)...
Naaah, it's all gonna fizzle out.

There's this column in MSN Japan where they tell you how you say a certain word or expression in English. The expression for this week is "head-butt." I thought that was kind of funny.
They also warned that, though "butt" can also mean "bottom," a "head-butt" does not refer to someone who has an ass for a head.

Naaah, it's all gonna fizzle out. I can't believe this stupid headbutt drama. Its like watching my male friends get into fights every Saturday night. My only concern is that during his press conference whereby he attempted to excuse the headbutt (haha, can't handle a good Yo Mama joke) Zidane looked to me as though he was wearing more makeup than I was. I suspect it was Chanel base, from the way it reflected light, because I use that too. Cricketers sledge each other all the time. Get over it Frenchies. You lost a game on penalty shots after a tournament where you only really played brilliantly once, shut up & move on. |

I've always meant to visit Japan, I really should sometime soon. Besides Thailand, its always been the one Asian country I was dying to see, but never got to. |

There's a difference between sledging and downright insulting players' families just to get under their skin. Zidane didn't cry foul about it, the world's media did, hiring all these famous lipreaders in. If anything, ZZ played the incident down by not quoting what Materazzi had said verbatim in that interview.
I'll give that Italy was more desperate to win it but their tactics makes them thugs in my book. Doesn't matter what I think, in several years time everyone will only see the name Italy as winners of the World cup in 2006.

You know how people who live in major cities are stuck-up assholes who think that the world revolves around them? We have that in spades here, Well, at least I do  I'd point you to the places that you should see, but I'm actually not at all familiar with the tourist destinations here. Kind of embarrassing, since I've been living in this sprawling mess of a city for almost ten years now. But if you need to know which bands are worth seeing, then you know who to ask! (really, any music fan who comes here without checking out the local scene is really missing out) |

And before anyone starts bragging about how their city is better, remember, Godzilla didn't even find your city worth destroying.

I think ZZ has conducted himself well. As Maarts said, it wasn't the ze gaelic monk one's fault that the world got obsessed with his head butt and what was said. I think he tried to act with dignity by refusing to spill after the event - but the media wouldn't let it lie. He even came out and said that he was horrified that school children would see it and possibly think it was ok and that he was really sorry to all the adults, parents and teachers that had to deal with the fall out.
Indeed the incident was the subject of one of our assemblies by the Dep head last week preaching on how if everyone reacted in such a violent and rash manner then society would be utter chaos. Of course, she obviously doesn't get out much or she'd realise that society is like that these days to a large extent.

Ryo, I know just about nothing when it comes to Japan's music scene, so if I ever make it there (and I will, its just that my travel list has another destination added to it each week. For eg I went from wanting to visit four American states to about 30 of them) I'll demand band names & info from you, thanks.
Speaking of cities etc, I had this brilliant idea the other night when I was drunk (I get some really awesome ideas when I drink, its great. Like one time I devised a strategy to end world hunger & cut down on 2nd & 3rd world debt. I felt like Bono. For a few minutes I even had an Irish accent. I would've been wearing Bvlgari shades but alas, we were inside. Shame. Anyway, I forgot my brilliant humanitarian plan the next day, so from now on I make someone write down my great ideas).
So yeah, I'm going to start a travel company that takes you on a jetset cocktail tour where you visit the cities of various cocktail origins & that is all you can drink. ie Singapore Slings in Singapore! Manhattans in NYC! Moscow Mules in Moscow! and so on & so forth.
I'm not sure if the Moscow Mule was even invented in Russia, but thats an irrelevant detail for now.
I was inspired by the fact that when I got to London I sang London Calling & when I was in Morocco we sang Rock the Casbah to the cab driver. I think he wanted to kill us.
